"Italy is a dream that keeps returning the rest of your life." — Anna Akhmatova

If Italy has been living rent-free in your head for years and you're finally ready to go — you've found your travel advisor. I fell in love with Italy the way most people do — completely and without warning. From the moment I stood in the shadow of Vesuvius walking the ancient streets of Herculaneum and Pompeii, I knew this country would pull me back again and again. And it has. The rolling hills of Tuscany alone could keep me busy for a lifetime. 

Italy is not just a destination — it's an experience that gets under your skin. The art, the architecture, the history layered into every cobblestone and cathedral — there is nowhere else on earth quite like it. I've rolled pasta by hand in a hillside cooking class overlooking Florence with a glass of Chianti close by, and I can tell you firsthand that moments like that are exactly what Italy is made of. I specialize in curated independent Italian travel designed for travelers who want to go deeper than the highlights reel. Whether it's an afternoon lost in a world-class museum, a private tour of a medieval hill town, or simply finding that perfect piazza to watch the world go by, I build itineraries that leave room for the moments you can't plan but will never forget. 

When you work with me, you're not just booking a trip to Italy — you're gaining a partner who has walked those streets, felt that history, and knows exactly what makes a good Italian vacation extraordinary. Whether you're dreaming of Renaissance art in Florence, ancient ruins in Naples, drifting along the Ligurian coastline with the Cinque Terre villages glowing in the afternoon light, or a slow and perfect week in the Tuscan countryside with a glass of Chianti in hand, I'm ready to make it happen.

Our unforgettable family trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Whits - Leawood KS | Traveled to Italy | Europe
We wanted to take our adult children and their spouses to Italy before grandchildren arrived. Ginnie did an amazing job with keeping us organized through the Tern app. She had tons of creative ideas that met our needs and made our trip even more unique. Between the delicious cooking classes, to the electric bike trip with gorgeous views, the train ride into Switzerland, private boat tours and countless yummy restaurant reservations. The entire trip was seamless. Ginnie had a car with driver that could comfortably hold our larger group of six that drove us promptly to each and every excursion. We cannot recommend Ginnie enough and would love to do it all over again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Ginnie Derusseau did a wonderful job planning our families trip to Spain. We first had problems with our flights and she took care of all issues. She booked all our hotels, personal tours and dinner reservations which were all excellent. We will definitely use Ginnie to plan all of our trips in the future and would highly recommend her services!
