The travel advisor
who treats your trip
like his own.
I'm James Vance, founder of Hide and Seek Vacations in Norman, Oklahoma. I've been helping people travel for over 20 years and turned that passion into a business so I could do it for everyone.
20 years of planning.
3 years of doing it
for everyone.
For over two decades, I was the person in my family who planned every trip. Hotels, flights, cruises, itineraries. I did it all because I genuinely loved it. After a while, friends started asking for help with their trips too.
Three years ago, I made it official. I founded Hide and Seek Vacations because I wanted to give everyone access to the kind of thoughtful, personalized trip planning that most people either don't have time for or don't know how to do.
Cruises are my specialty. There's nothing quite like waking up in a new destination every morning, and I love helping people experience that for the first time, or the tenth time. I've visited 10 countries myself, and Grand Cayman holds a special place as my favorite destination on earth.
When you work with me, you're not a booking number. You're someone I'm personally invested in getting a great trip.
James checked the hotel weekly to make sure we had the best possible rates — even after we had already booked. I can't imagine going back to doing all the booking and research for our getaways ever again.

when you work with me.
I run a small, personal operation by design. Every client gets my direct attention: not a call center, not a chatbot.
Before, during, and after your trip. If something comes up, you have a real person to call, not a 1-800 number.
Once you're booked, I keep monitoring rates. If your price drops before final payment, I'll let you know and get you the better deal.
I've been planning trips for over 20 years. I know the ships, the resorts, the routes, and the details that actually matter.
My services are completely free to you. I earn a commission from travel providers so you get expert planning at no extra cost.

Places I've been.
Places I can help you get to.
I've traveled to 10 countries personally and I use that firsthand knowledge when planning your trips.
Don't take my word for it.
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.
