About Us

CRC Travel was founded in 1990 with the simple premise that “no” does not exist when it comes to travel requests. Peter Carideo & CRC Travel have enjoyed great success in making their client’s travel dreams come true – whether it be renting that special home in Montepulciano Italy along with private vineyard tours or arranging for a marriage proposal on a horse drawn carriage in front of Buckingham Palace!

CRC Travel first opened its doors in 1990 in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Since that time, CRC Travel has evolved into an agency with $10 million in annual sales with 98% devoted to leisure. The president, Peter Carideo, CTC has a staff of 4 inside travel consultants and 3 independent contractors.

Peter has been designated one of Conde Nast's top travel specialists for the past 6 years. The agency enjoys recognition for their production from Four Seasons Hotels as a member of their Preferred Partners program, Ritz Carlton hotels as part of their Stars Program, and Abercrombie & Kent's Top 100 Club. Peter sits on the advisory boards of Starwood's Luxury Collection, St. Regis, A & K, Leading Hotels and Classic Vacations. Peter has consistently been named one of the top 5 producing agents for Classic Vacations and his agency ranks among the top producers for Classic nationwide.

CRC travel received the President’s Award from Classic Vacations in 2008 for their dedication and partnership with Classic.
