Anyone who has worked with our CEO, Margaret Kemp, or our President, Ellison Poe, is very familiar with the depth of their travel knowledge. Combined, there isn’t a corner of this world they don’t know, and they have created life-altering trips for their clients time and time again. They are known worldwide as some of the best travel professionals around, so it’s only fitting that Condé Nast Traveler has once again named them on their annual Top Travel Specialists list, which includes travel specialists from around the globe. 

Condé Nast Traveler asked Margaret about one of her favorite all-time experiences she has been able to pull off for her clients. Margaret said: 

“Working with clients whose father served with Patton. So incredible inside access with a private guide and following Patton's campaigns. He ended up being a part of the Nuremberg trials and the private visit we set up there with our guide was overwhelming.”

When asked the same question, Ellison said:

“I had a multi-generational family going to Vienna. It was a trip for the family to surprise the grandfather/father. I had organized a private car on the Riesenrad (Giant Ferris Wheel) at the Prater Amusement Park. The family were inside, with a musician and champagne and the private car came down and they all popped up and surprised their grandfather; it was a huge hit!”

These are only a couple of examples of the unforgettable moments that Margaret and Ellison specialize in creating for our beloved Poe Travel clients.

Those who have worked with either of these two won’t need the answers to this question, but CNT also asked Margaret and Ellison what sets them apart from other travel specialists. Says Margaret:

“We have great inside information and incredible guides that make the travel experience more personalized and unique. Our clients definitely feel more like VIPs.”

Ellison adds:

“I create the experience for my clients. What I do cannot be Googled or bought from a website. It is all about personal relationships, and those relationships open doors to private access experiences.”

Ellison and Margaret are in great company on the list, and many of our favorite on-site specialists who we work with to create inimitable trips in-destination can also be found there, reinforcing the fact that we truly do only work with the best at Poe Travel.

You can see both Margaret and Ellison’s Top Travel Specialist profiles on the Condé Nast Traveler website, and they will both also be featured in the newest print issue of CNT.
