Plan your trip with these links:

Travel Insurance: Protect your travel investment with the best, Travelex. Travelex is IRT’s preferred travel insurance supplier. Legions of our guests agree.

Foreign Currency:  Buy currency ahead of time with Travelex’s new My Travel Wallet. What a great idea: Arriving with some local currency, and not standing in line once you get there!

Books & Maps: Longitude Books has great reading lists for travelers, which we send to you upon booking as a travel benefit.  Longitude is a great source for maps, too.

Phone services: The Wireless Traveler has great rates for our clients, and is a Virtuoso preferred supplier because of its great service for international calling, even in hard-to-reach places.

Clothing & Accessories:  TravelSmith has sturdy and attractive travel clothing and accessories. We're still wearing items that we purchased over 20 years ago. Owen loves his blue blazer, cargo pants and trench coat. Eleanor never leaves home without her compression socks and khaki skirt with hidden pocket. Our travelers get a 10% discount.

Luggage Delivery: Luggage Forward is an excellent way to ensure smooth sailing, from start to finish.
