Hi, I’m Ed Munz, founder of Nifty Ducks Travel. With more than 30 years of experience in hospitality, tourism, and customer service, I’ve built my career around creating exceptional experiences for others. Travel has always been a passion of mine, and I founded Nifty Ducks Travel to help clients explore the world with confidence, ease, and excitement.
My husband, Mark, and I specialize in personalized vacation planning, cruises, group travel, and unforgettable getaways tailored to each traveler’s unique interests and goals. Whether you’re planning a milestone celebration, a family vacation, a romantic escape, or the cruise you’ve always dreamed about, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
We believe great travel starts with understanding the traveler. Every person, couple, family, and group brings different interests, priorities, identities, abilities, and comfort levels to the journey. Our role is to listen, understand what matters most to you, and create travel experiences where you can feel welcomed, supported, and free to focus on making memories.
Our approach is simple: travel should be for everyone. We take the time to learn about your travel style, preferences, and needs so we can design experiences that are meaningful, memorable, and uniquely yours.
Ready to start planning your next adventure? Complete our Trip Inquiry Form and tell us a little about your travel dreams. We’ll be in touch to begin creating a journey that’s tailored to you from the very first conversation.
Working With Nifty Ducks Travel
Every journey starts with a conversation.
Whether you know exactly where you want to go or are still exploring possibilities, we’re here to guide you through the process and make planning simple, enjoyable, and personalized.
Step 1: Let’s Chat
Our complimentary consultation is your chance to share your travel dreams, interests, budget, and priorities with us. We’ll discuss your ideas, answer questions, and determine the best path forward.
Step 2: Choose Your Planning Style
Know & Go
Already know where and when you want to travel?
We’ll provide up to three carefully selected hotel, cruise, or tour options that match your needs and budget. In most cases, there is no planning fee for straightforward bookings.
Custom Trip Planning
Looking for something more personalized?
For travelers who want a thoughtfully designed itinerary, we create customized travel experiences complete with accommodations, transportation, activities, and recommendations tailored to your travel style.
Planning fees begin at $50 per day of travel, excluding the first day.
Air Travel Assistance
Need help with flights?
We can research and book airfare for complex itineraries and international travel. Air ticketing fees may apply for non-commissionable fares and will always be discussed before booking.
Step 3: Review & Refine
Once your itinerary is ready, we’ll review it together and make adjustments until everything feels right. Nothing is booked without your approval.
Step 4: Book With Confidence
When you’re ready, we’ll handle the reservations, coordinate suppliers, and help protect your investment with travel insurance options.
Step 5: Travel & Enjoy
Before departure, you’ll receive your final travel documents and any destination-specific guidance you may need. We’re available to assist before, during, and after your trip.
