Hi, I'm Kristal
My name is Kristal Hicks, and I’m the owner and travel designer at Top Tier Travel Group. If you’re here, it means you are in the early stages of planning a vacation that must be really important to you, and I’m so glad you’ve reached out.
​
For me, traveling isn’t just about taking pictures and checking places off of a bucket list, it is about choosing to invest in your most important relationships, deliberately slowing life down, and letting the magic of a place inspire you and breathe fresh life into your spirit as well as your closest relationships. Helping my clients create bright, meaningful memories that they will reflect on often and carry with them for the rest of their lives is what gives me goosebumps when I go to work, and why I do what I do. It’s never just about the logistics of travel (although I handle that, too). It’s about getting to know you and making sure you get goosebumps too.
Did I say I’m glad you’re here? Because I am. Welcome to the Top Tier Travel Experience.

Having traveled to more than 180 cities across 20 countries in 4 different continents, I am uniquely qualified to serve my clients. My favorite destinations to book include:
​
-
Fiji — This island destination in the South Pacific will simply take your breath away. Fiji offers unparalleled tropical beauty as well as enriching cultural experiences, making it a wonderful option for couples looking for an unforgettable honeymoon destination.
-
Africa — Luxury African safaris are often a bucket list travel experience, and for good reason. When in Africa, travelers enjoy mesmerizing experiences as they glide through the savanna and witness nature's most magnificent creatures in their own habitats.
-
Europe — European tours effortlessly combine culture, sophistication, history and flavor, making them the ideal travel experience for people of all ages. I can design a customized European tour that builds upon your personal interests while also introducing you to new inspirations.
