Michele Soto is a Chicago-based luxury travel advisor with Traveluxe, specializing in family vacations, all-inclusive resorts, honeymoons, group trips, and Disney travel

Michele Soto is a luxury travel advisor with Traveluxe, based in Chicago, Illinois, and known for crafting travel experiences that feel as good to plan as they do to live. Her clients come to her not just for a destination — but for the confidence of knowing every detail has been handled with intention.

Michele specializes in family and multi-generational travel, all-inclusive vacations, honeymoons and romantic getaways, Disney and theme park experiences, and group trips. What unites all of her work is a commitment to travel that feels personal, seamless, and worth every moment.

Chicago-area travelers and clients across the country trust Michele because she does something rare: she actually listens. Before she recommends a single resort or itinerary, she takes the time to understand your travel style, your pace, and what would make this trip genuinely meaningful for you.

My Approach

Michele's approach to travel planning is intentional by design. She doesn't send a generic list of options and call it a day — she partners with her clients through every stage of the process, from first conversation to final return flight.

Here's what working with Michele looks like:

  • A discovery conversation to understand your travel preferences, priorities, and must-haves

  • Curated destination and property recommendations based on your specific vision — not a template

  • End-to-end logistics coordination: flights, transfers, accommodations, excursions, and special touches

  • Insider access and added-value amenities through Traveluxe's preferred partner network

  • Responsive, proactive communication before, during, and after your trip

  • Honest recommendations — Michele will tell you what's truly worth it and what isn't

  • Her clients consistently describe the experience as calm, clear, and surprisingly enjoyable — because that's exactly what great travel planning should feel like.

Family & Multi-Generational Travel Specialist

Family travel is one of Michele's core specialties — and it's some of the most complex travel to plan well. When you're coordinating multiple generations, different budgets, varying interests, and the logistics of keeping everyone happy, the details matter more than ever.

Michele brings order to that complexity. She designs family and multi-generational itineraries that account for every traveler in the group — from the grandparents who want a relaxed beach resort to the kids who want to spend all day in the pool. Her recommendations are rooted in real knowledge of what families actually experience on the ground.

  • All-inclusive family resorts — Caribbean, Mexico, and beyond

  • Multi-room suite and villa arrangements for large groups

  • Kid-friendly and teen-friendly destination selection

  • Activity planning that works across age ranges

  • Disney and theme park vacations for families of all sizes

  • Multi-generational cruise sailings

Serving Chicago & the Greater Midwest

Michele is based in Chicago and has a special appreciation for helping fellow Midwesterners escape — whether that means a warm-weather all-inclusive in February, a summer European adventure, or a Disney trip that's been on the family vision board for years.

Chicago travelers benefit from Michele's familiarity with O'Hare and Midway departure options, seasonal travel timing from the Midwest, and her ability to meet clients where they are — locally and personally.
