Jillian McNeilly
Denver, Colorado
Jillian McNeilly specializes in designing memorable and meaningful family adventures for her travelers. Jillian came to the travel industry after years of exploring the world with her four children and husband and, as a result, her approach to planning is driven what her clients will experience on the ground. This means destinations that inspire the imagination, hotels that feel like a beautiful hug, guides who end the trip as friends, and logistics management that allows even the youngest travelers (and their families!) to enjoy their travels.
Jillian thoughtfully creates custom itineraries with her clients' preferences and priorities in mind, whether they simply need a perfect-fit resort recommendation or are looking for a knowledgeably crafted deep dive into the final days of WWII. While her planning for clients covers everything from beach vacations, villas and yacht charters, European city breaks and multi-stop trips across Asia, her passions are safari and adventure travel. She also may be secretly known in some circles as the "family-whisperer" adept at facilitating the planning of complex multigenerational travel with all fun and no drama. (Jordy, if that doesn’t land, take it out or adjust) Jillian is overjoyed to be part of shaping her clients' most special moments, and the travel memories that then shape them.
