About Me

The beauty of Oia, Santorini
The beauty of Oia, Santorini

Planning a vacation can be overwhelming, especially when you’re balancing the demands of home, family, and work and you don't have any knowledge of the destination. As a mom and small business owner, I understand the struggle firsthand. I've juggled these responsibilities while meticulously planning our family vacations, turning the challenge of creating the perfect getaway into a passion. Thankfully, my family has enjoyed every trip I've organized—no complaints yet!

At Fontaine Travel, we're here to help busy professionals, especially moms like me, craft vacations that create lasting memories without the added stress. We take care of every detail so you can focus on enjoying your time away. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, a multi-generational trip, or a river cruise, we’ve got you covered.

What We Offer

Tailored Travel Experiences

  • Family and Multi-generational Vacations: From bike and Segway outings to cultural excursions, I design trips that cater to both kids and adults.
  • Couples Getaways: Romantic escapes to picturesque locations, complete with intimate dining and relaxing activities.
  • Small Group Travel: Perfect for friends and affinity groups seeking unique and enriching travel experiences.
  • Luxury Travel: Leave the planning to us so you don't have to lift a finger. Itineraries customized to your needs and wants. 
  • River Cruises: Help navigating the many choices you have in boats and rivers to help you choose the cruise that is the best fit for you. 
  • Ocean Cruises: Wade through your choices more quickly and choose the ship/itinerary that best matches your interests. 

Specialized European Travel

As the wife of a French citizen, I have had the opportunity to live in France and travel extensively across the continent. Fontaine Travel specializes in crafting itineraries that lead to unforgettable trips in Europe. Whether it’s exploring historic cities, savoring culinary delights, embarking on scenic hikes, or discovering hidden art treasures, we tailor each itinerary to match your interests and pace.

Adventurous Japan Travel

I've also been blessed to live in Japan where the culture and people are quite unique. You can benefit from my lived experiences as I customize your itinerary to your interests in a culture rich with opportunity. From the bustling streets of Tokyo, to the deer of Nara or the culinary delights of Osaka, there is something for everyone in Japan, especially if you want to get outside the big cities to see the real Japan in places like Okayama, Kurashiki, Kanazawa and Toyama. 

A World of Experience

I’ve been fortunate to live on three continents—Asia, Europe, and South America—and have journeyed across the globe, visiting nearly 60 countries on five continents. While Antarctica remains on my bucket list, Australia is coming soon! If you’re planning a trip, chances are I’ve already been there and can offer firsthand insights and recommendations.

Why Choose Fontaine Travel?

I founded Fontaine Travel to share my travel experiences and expertise, helping fellow travelers create vacations that are as inspiring as they are unforgettable. My services include:

  • Detailed Itinerary Planning: Every aspect of your trip is meticulously planned and customized to your preferences.
  • Local Insights and Contacts: Leveraging my extensive network and personal experiences to provide authentic and enriching travel experiences.

We Deliver Unmatched Service Quickly

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Heidi for a 12-day trip to Greece. Her extensive knowledge with Greek travel shone through as she helped organize flights, ferries, hotels, etc. One standout moment: when an excursion was canceled, Heidi was already on it, coordinating w/the travel company to find alternatives, before I even knew there was an issue!"

"Our flight was canceled as we were heading to the airport. We freaked out but Heidi remained calm. Our trip to Europe took a circuitous route but Heidi got us there nearly on time despite completely re-routing us."

These quotes from my clients speak for themselves. They exemplify the service you will receive when working with Fontaine Travel. Reach out and leave the rest to use.

Great trip
Reviewed By Pat - NC | Traveled to Danube | On the River | At Sea
Thanks to Heidi for a great trip beginning with making all the arrangements and guiding us through the trip. Heidi helped us navigate a flight that was cancelled and getting us on a new flight as quickly as possible. She knew exactly what to do and where we should be in order to catch the next available flight without having any issues. Throughout our trip she helped us pick excursions and restaurants on land. All in all she was a fabulous travel agent and made our trip wonderful and easy. Will definitely call on her again for travel plans.

River Queens Extravaganza
Reviewed By KG123 - Weston, CT | Traveled to Danube | On the River | At Sea
Heidi planned a girls river cruise for our group of 6 and it was amazing! After giving us an exhaustive list of options we choose an itinerary and Heidi did the rest. She scheduled Zooms to review our excursions and detailed what each location would entail. She helped us book additional tours and offered suggestions for meals off the boat. No detail was missed. I highly recommend Fontaine Travel and will use them on my next adventure too!
