Group Destination Specialist

Group Trip Italy2022

Would you enjoy your family gathered together in a charming Italian villa, sharing laughter over a homemade pasta-making class led by a local chef? Or perhaps your closest friends exploring Croatia’s stunning coastline, bonding over private wine tastings and cultural discoveries.

These are the kinds of unforgettable moments I specialize in creating—experiences that bring people together, deepen connections, and leave lasting memories. Hi, I’m Jeff Bartlett, and I’m passionate about crafting personalized journeys for multi-generational families and small groups. As the co-owner of Travel Marks Intl alongside my wife Allison, I’ve dedicated my career to helping travelers like you turn their dream trips into reality.

Whether it’s a family reunion, a milestone celebration, or simply a group of friends looking to explore the world together, I thrive on designing itineraries that cater to the unique needs and interests of every traveler in your group. What sets me apart as a Multi-Gen and Group Specialist is my ability to balance the diverse preferences of each traveler while ensuring the experience feels seamless and cohesive. I understand that planning travel for multiple generations or groups can be complex—grandparents may want a slower pace, while younger travelers might crave adventure. That’s where my expertise comes in.

I work closely with you to understand your group’s dynamics, interests, and goals, and then I craft a tailor-made itinerary that ensures everyone feels included and engaged. My expertise lies in small group travel to Europe, with a focus on historical, food and wine, and cultural experiences. From exploring the ancient ruins of Rome to savoring the finest wines in Tuscany, I curate trips that immerse you in the heart of your destination. As an Italy and Croatia Destination Specialist, I have deep knowledge of these regions and their hidden gems, allowing me to create itineraries that go beyond the typical tourist experience.

Whether it’s arranging exclusive access to historical sites, organizing private cooking classes, or setting up guided tours with local experts, I ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned. One of my favorite aspects of group travel is the opportunity to create shared experiences that strengthen bonds. I’ve seen families reconnect over a sunset cruise in the Adriatic Sea and friends laugh together during a truffle-hunting adventure in the Croatian countryside.

These moments are the “art of travel” that I strive to create—memories that will be cherished for years to come. At Travel Marks Intl, we believe that travel is more than just visiting a destination—it’s about experiencing it in a way that resonates with your group’s unique story.

That’s why we take the time to get to know you and your travel companions, ensuring every itinerary reflects your shared interests and passions. From the first consultation to the final day of your journey, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. If you’re ready to start planning your next multi-generational or small group adventure, I’d love to help you bring your vision to life.
