Experienced Living in Italy
I lived and worked in Italy for over 6 years as a tour manager. To say I know Italy very well is true. My favorite place was always Florence with its Renaissance period and the history of Michelangelo, DaVinci, and all the artists from that period. Traveling weekly throughout all of Italy for 7 months each year gave me a great appreciation for all of its beauty and just how special each region really is. I am happy to share that knowledge with you when planning your trip to Italy.

She is very knowledgeable about travel and wonderful at setting up both individual and group trips. She is great with the entire trip process including planning, booking and updates. She knows how to get the best value and the best places and times to go.

She really knows what she is talking about. She also gives tips and guidance as to what to bring, what to see, etc.
