About Me

The Vineyards of Tuscany
The Vineyards of Tuscany

Italy is a destination that captivates travelers with its vibrant blend of history, art, gastronomy, fashion, and diverse natural landscapes. 

Italy is not just a country; it’s an experience that promises to impress you with its world-famous cities like Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan. In Rome, you can walk through the Forum, imagining the footsteps of ancient Romans, or stand in the Colosseum, feeling what it was like during the gladiators’ battles. Visiting the Vatican is a must for its deep religious significance as the epicenter of the Catholic faith and the chance to experience the Pope’s public addresses. It’s also a hub of extraordinary art and architecture, boasting the magnificent Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica.Florence invites you to step into the Renaissance, with masterpieces by Michelangelo and Botticelli at every turn. Venice, the city on water, enchants with its winding canals and the serene beauty of St. Mark’s Basilica. Milan, Italy’s fashion capital, dazzles not only with its designer boutiques but also with the historic splendor of the Duomo. Each city connects you directly with the influential people and pivotal events that have shaped Italian civilization.

Italy also boasts beautiful destinations outside of the cities. The landscapes along the countryside’s are both visually stimulating and a gift for those who seek the beauty of nature. The Dolomites are unique, capturing dramatic peaks and serene valleys, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Their unique geological formations provide a captivating and unforgettable travel experience. Another destination for nature enthusiasts is the Italian Alps. Standing guard in the north, their peaks capped in snow that sparkles under the sun, offering a dream for skiers and hikers alike. As you travel south, the scenery transforms dramatically. The Amalfi Coast stretches along the southern edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula, its cliffs plunging into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Here, the beaches are a mosaic of pebbles and sand, inviting sunbathers and swimmers to bask in the warmth of the Italian sun. Between these two extremes lies a tapestry of landscapes: rolling hills dotted with olive groves and vineyards in Tuscany, the rugged wilderness of the Apennines, and the serene waters of the Italian lakes. Whether you’re looking to conquer mountain trails or unwind on a coastal escape, Italy’s diverse topography promises a memorable and enriching experience for all who visit. 

Finally, let’s not forget the Italian cuisine—With each region presenting its own delectable flavors, the food is celebrated for its emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients and regional diversity. Offering a range of dishes from simple pizza’s and pastas to elaborate Truffle Risotto or Ossobuco ala Milanese, Italian food is a culinary tradition that combines simplicity with sophistication, creating meals that are both comforting and utterly delicious.

Whether you’re seeking romance, family fun, culinary delights, or artistic inspiration, Italy delivers an unparalleled journey that will linger in your heart long after you’ve returned home.

Caroline Nolan made this trip!!
Reviewed By David S. - Las Vegas, NV | Traveled to Whistler ~ British Columbia ~ Canada
Caroline's attention to detail is second to none. I don't know how I have been traveling for most of my life without her help. From free room upgrades to having someone with a sign with my name on it waiting for me as I exited the airport, this was hands down the easiest and best travel experience I have ever had. Caroline was always available when I had questions, which was not too often because her emails were so detailed, she answered my questions before I even knew what to ask for. She is clearly an expert in her field, and is what makes the difference between a good trip and a truly exceptional one. I don't settle for second best, and that's why I will always use Caroline when booking anything in the future. She just makes my life easier and better. And that's a commodity I do not take for granted!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Cole H - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Greece | Europe
We could not give Caroline a higher recommendation. This is the second “major” trip she has planned for us, and both were a near flawless experience. She has never steered us wrong. On both trips I had my mind made up on certain things going into the planning but she convinced me otherwise and I am so glad she did. Caroline really did know best and at the end of each trip we were so glad we made the changes she suggested as they made for a much better overall experience. She is responsive and extremely helpful before, during, and after the trip. There is no doubt we will continue to use her for all our future travel planning needs. We can’t thank her enough for all the help she has been.

Magnificent travel agent
Reviewed By Sandra H. - Clyde Hill, WA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Caroline was exactly who our group of 6 needed as we planned our trip to Italy. I came to her with an outline of where we wanted to go and the dates we wanted to go, and after some consultation back and forth she really helped me and our group get a spectacular itinerary together. She had some very thoughtful insights about the benefit of staying in one place for a few nights rather than our original thought of a new city and hotel each night. Her lodging choices were lovely and the excursions she planned for us were so enjoyable. Her knowledge of the region and the novel ideas of how to take in the cities resulted in an unforgettable trip. I also enjoyed working with her throughout the process. All six of us are looking forward to working with Caroline on future trips, whether it is the group of us or just traveling as couples. She is magnificent!

Trip of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Ian P. - Boston, MA | Traveled to Bali | Indonesia | East and Southeast Asia
Our trip to Bali for our honeymoon was magnificent! Both hotels we stayed were phenomenal. Kappa Sense is almost has a jungle like vibe and the Belmond Jimbaran had the beach so it was great being able to experience both places. The white water and ATVing activity was a blast and the rapids were great to do for beginners and we both felt safe. Hiking up mount Batur was also a great experience and the views were totally worth the climb. The mountain has a pretty fast uphill ascent so you need to at least be in decent shape to make it to the top. Also, the Beji Guwang Hidden Canyons was a lot of fun but that is another thing that you have to be in decent shape and able to climb across rocks that are slippery and be a decent swimmer as well. Nusa Penida was also a great experience and was beautiful. It was the trip of a life time and we appreciate your help with everything.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful Trip To Scotland
Reviewed By Austin S. - Everett, Wa | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
Caroline planned an absolutely wonderful trip for myself and my fiancee in Scotland. We had never travelled internationally like this before and she made it absolutely seamless and all we needed to do was show up. When issues arose with certain venues closing on the planned visitation days, or changes to our flights, or anything at all she was incredibly responsive and gave us confidence that we would be able to get a resolution to whatever we encountered. We will absolutely use her services again as we plan other trips because of how much we loved this one, and how much she showcased her talents with finding great locations to stay and things to do.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
