Choose what feels right, and I handle the rest; reservations, confirmations, itinerary details, and any changes along the way.
Show up ready to enjoy it. I'm with you before, during, and after the trip. If anything comes up, I'm a call or text away.

I'm James Vance, founder of Hide and Seek Vacations, based in Norman, Oklahoma. I started this agency because I believe travel planning should feel exciting, not exhausting.
When you work with me, you're not filling out a form that gets routed to a call center. You're working directly with someone who knows your name, knows your trip, and is available when you need them.
I specialize in cruises, group travel, family vacations, and all-inclusive resorts. And I monitor pricing even after you've booked, because a better rate before your trip is worth knowing about.
"I can't imagine going back to doing all the booking and research for our getaways, ever again." A real client, Yelp review
Don't take my word for it.
Here's what real clients have said about working with Hide and Seek Vacations.
Hide and Seek Vacations did a great job helping us with our Transatlantic cruise, travel, and lodging in Spain. James was available at a moment's notice and secured us the best rates. We will definitely be using Hide and Seek again.
In the last 6 months, James has booked 2 trips for us. He made everything so effortless we had no hassles and were able to enjoy every minute without a worry in the world. If we had a problem or question, he was available at any time.
James was extraordinarily helpful in keeping everything together during our vacation. We had a flight delay and he helped us find a hotel immediately. I can't recommend this business highly enough.
