About Janice Chieffo

Janice Chieffo, founder & CEO

My love of travel began in 1980, on a study-abroad program in Salzburg, Austria. Since then, I have traveled the world in search of unique destinations and experiences, visiting over 50 countries on 6 continents and created A Moveable Feast Travel, LLC. to bring my travel knowledge and expertise to you, my valued clients.

A Moveable Feast Travel designs bespoke travel itineraries for the luxury traveler to Cuba, Italy, Spain, South Africa, East Africa, Asia, South America and beyond.

I retired from a 26-year career as a criminal prosecutor in Southern California to dedicate myself to my passion for travel. I am a lifelong student of art, photography, architecture, history, and music. I am also a passionate food and wine enthusiast, as well as a gourmet cook. I incorporate these interests into each journey I plan for my upscale clients. I am also a collector of fine art, photography and handicrafts and therefore an expert at scouring the local landscape to find unique treasures to bring home.

I am affiliated with the Virtuoso travel consortium, the most exclusive in the world, focusing on the luxury travel market. I am currently planning trips for individual clients as well as corporate and museum groups.

I will create an individual or group itinerary specifically for you, incorporating my insider connections, education and travel knowledge into each trip, to ensure its success.

Why use a Travel Agent?

Some travelers we work with (before they end up booking) think advisors are an outdated concept. After all, can’t you research and find travel options online? You can, but using an advisor drives up the value of your trip in countless ways:

• Personalized planning – the trips and experiences you want (and those unforgettable moments you didn’t even know were possible), tailored to your interests.
• Travel perks, from hotel room upgrades to complimentary breakfasts and spa treatments, exclusive cruise excursions, and more.
• VIP access around the globe: See the Sistine Chapel after hours, skip the lines at Angkor Wat, explore the Galápagos Islands with a third-generation naturalist guide.
• Insider knowledge. Thanks to their own travels and personal relationships with Virtuoso partners around the world, Virtuoso travel advisors take trip recommendations well beyond the expected.
• Peace of mind – leave the logistics to us, and rely on your advisor for insight and support every step of the way. Last-minute cancellations, border closures, unexpected changes – travel advisors have you covered, now more than ever.

A Moveable Feast Travel

My focus is to plan trips for those of you looking for a unique, personal experience while still getting value for what you are willing to pay. I work within most budgets, but focus on properties in the 4 to 5 star range, as that is the range where I feel that my clients have the best travel experiences.

The benefits of using a Virtuoso Travel Advisor. 

VIP Perks

Some of these benefits include complimentary upgrades to the next room category, complimentary breakfasts for two, early hotel check in, late check out, $100.00 resort, spa or food and beverage credit and more. Virtuoso Advisors also have access to special offers that aren’t advertised to the public, such as buy two, stay for three nights and other enticing perks. 

Insider Connections

Virtuoso Travel Advisors develop personal contacts with hotels, resorts, cruise lines, airlines, and premier destinations worldwide, meeting with representatives of luxury properties annually to maintain personal relationships that benefit our clients. 

First-hand Experience

Virtuoso Travel Advisors are among the most well-traveled people on the planet. We draw upon our own first-hand experiences when customizing vacations for you. We can be creative, because we have traveled and we have experienced the things that we are recommending. From local weekend getaways, to trips of a lifetime, you can count on the expertise of a Virtuoso Travel Advisor to ensure your greatest return for your travel time and travel dollar.

Customer Service

But the most important thing you receive by using a Virtuoso Travel Advisor is customer service. You will have someone who understands what it is you want and can meet your specific needs. Someone who is there when something needs to be changed or something unexpected happens when you are traveling. You are not dealing with a call center or a computer system. You will have my direct contact information and I will answer your questions and attend to your needs.

Travel Inspiration

Virtuoso clients receive award-winning publications all year, including Virtuoso Life (six times a year), Virtuoso Traveler (six times a year), and the Best of the Best hotels catalog (annually). You’ll also receive inspiring travel deals via e-mail. 

Be inspired by the options on the Virtuoso website and then let me know how I can make your travel dreams a reality by allowing me the opportunity to plan your next Virtuoso journey.
