About Me

Always Learning from ASTA
Always Learning from ASTA

I’m Heidi, your go-to travel planner for unforgettable European adventures. With a passion for exploring the hidden gems and iconic landmarks of Europe, I've planned trips in almost every country across this diverse and enchanting continent. Not only have I meticulously organized these journeys, but I've also had the pleasure of visiting nearly every European country myself, soaking in the culture, history, and cuisine firsthand.

Why Choose Me?

Creative & Fun

Travel should be exciting and tailored to your unique tastes and interests. Whether it's a food and wine tour through Tuscany, a biking adventure in the French countryside, or a hiking expedition in the Swiss Alps, I bring creativity and flair to every itinerary. I love mixing the must-see attractions with off-the-beaten-path discoveries that you won't find in any guidebook.

Detail-Oriented & Knowledgeable

I pride myself on being incredibly detail-oriented. From the moment you contact me to the final leg of your journey, every aspect of your trip is carefully considered and planned. My extensive knowledge of Europe—its cities, countryside, and everything in between—ensures that you get the most authentic and enriching experiences possible.

Personalized & Customizable

No two travelers are the same, and neither are my trips. Every vacation I plan is fully customized to meet your needs and wants. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, an art enthusiast, or an adventure seeker, I use my past experiences and a vast network of contacts to create a vacation that’s perfect for you.

What I Can Do for You

  • Big City Explorations: From Paris to Prague, Madrid to Munich, I can craft the perfect urban adventure with sightseeing, dining, and cultural experiences.
  • Food & Wine Tours: Indulge in the culinary delights of Europe with bespoke food and wine tours, visiting vineyards, local markets, and gourmet restaurants.
  • Biking & Hiking Trips: For the active traveler, I organize biking and hiking trips that take you through breathtaking landscapes and charming villages.
  • Art Tours: Dive into the art scene with guided tours of world-famous museums and hidden art gems. Whether it’s the Louvre in Paris or a private gallery in Florence, art lovers will be in heaven.
  • Private Tours: Enjoy exclusive, personalized tours with local guides who offer deep insights into their cities and regions.

Ready to explore Europe like never before?

Let’s turn your travel dreams into reality with a trip that’s meticulously planned, wonderfully personalized, and absolutely unforgettable. Contact me today, and let's start planning your next great adventure!

Heidi added great value - fantastic trip!
Reviewed By LC46 - Alexandria Va | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands | Caribbean
I’d 110% recommend using Heidi - Heidi helped my daughter and I plan our first big trip. She listened to our needs, helped find the location (Turks and Caicos), identified an amazing property that was in our budget, explained all the intricacies of trip insurance, helped with an excursion (snagged us a boat pickup by our hotel so we avoided taxi ride) and was extremely responsive throughout the process. She had first hand knowledge of the island which was helpful. I cannot recommend her enough! Will definitely use her again.
Heidi Parsont responded
"Thank you for this great review. I really appreciate it! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the Turks & Caicos, one of my favorite islands. I look forward to working with you again soon. "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

UK Trip
Reviewed By KDBVA - Alexandria, Virginia | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
Heidi did an amazing job planning and organizing our trip. She was fantastic helping us narrow the focus and trying to help us fit a lot of site seeing into a condensed period of time for the amount of ground we covered. Her lodging recommendations were perfect, and she made sure that we had all the information we needed to enjoy our trip. She was available whenever we had questions and checked in with us after we got home to see how everything went. We look forward to working with Heidi again in the future!

Best Trip Ever!
Reviewed By Heidi Our Travel Queen - St. Louis, MO | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Heidi made our 14-day vacation so easy for us with all the details planned impeccably. We spent time with her discussing our desires and goals and she did all the rest. We had frequent discussions right up until our departure confirming our customized plan was booked and ready for us. We just had to pack. Heidi booked transfers, tours of all kinds and then sent us an itinerary detailing each day with contacts, meeting spots, drivers, and phone numbers. Her app is so helpful and can be accessed with or without being online. Even though you have everything you need, Heidi is always available on your trip too if you need to make a change. From start to finish, Heidi made our trip so much easier than trying navigate all that we did on our own. She speaks from experience having traveled to so many places, she knows what she is taking about. Don’t mess with the hassle of planning a trip like this. Let Heidi take care of it for you. We will be working with her again and again. Thank you for helping us have a trip filled with memories and joy!

Multigenerational all-inclusive
Reviewed By LisaErri - Bethesda, MD | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Our family determined that an all-inclusive with childcare would be the best fit for a spring break trip but had no experience with those resorts. Heidi expertly assessed our needs, asked all the right questions, and helped guide us to what turned out to be a perfect fit for both vibe and location. She made sure the arrangements were exactly what we needed, including transport with car seats! Highly recommend working with Heidi.

Super awesome family spring break
Reviewed By adc - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
For the 2nd time in 2 years, Heidi has stepped in and saved the day -- this time, to help plan a family spring break vacation. 6 weeks out, and with no plans for a tired mom and dad, plus teen twin boys looking for adventure, Heidi wisely recommended a Royal Caribbean cruise. It was the perfect "all inclusive+++" experience, but on a ship. Something for EVERYONE. Better than anticipated. Truly amazed. Kids made friends on day 1 and can't wait to cruise again.
Heidi Parsont responded
"Thank you for your fabulous review! I'm glad that you enjoyed the cruise and that the boys found the adventure that they sought.I look forward to working with you on the next spring break adventure!"
