About Me

Dreaming of rolling hills dotted with olive groves, sipping Chianti in a medieval village, or wandering cobbled streets where Renaissance masters once roamed? Let me help you turn that dream into your next unforgettable reality. I’m a travel advisor with a deep passion for culturally rich and restorative travel, especially in Italy’s timeless Tuscany region and the art-soaked streets of Florence. As someone who values authenticity, storytelling, and ethical tourism, I specialize in helping travelers experience the real Italy: the one that locals love, and tourists often overlook. Whether you're craving a serene week in a private villa surrounded by vineyards or a curated adventure through Florence’s most iconic and hidden gems, I craft custom travel experiences that feel personal, immersive, and seamless from start to finish.

Why Tuscany & Florence?
Tuscany is more than a postcard, it’s a way of life. From the sun-drenched hill towns of Montepulciano and San Gimignano to the tranquil countryside outside Siena and Cortona, I help clients uncover the unique rhythm and beauty of the region with experiences you won’t find in guidebooks. And then there’s Florence where every alley is a museum, and every piazza holds centuries of stories. I guide travelers beyond the standard tourist trail to help them find intimate art encounters, quiet cafés with unbeatable espresso, and local artisans keeping traditions alive.Whether you're interested in wine country escapes, olive oil tastings, hands-on cooking classes, artisan markets, or art-history-rich city strolls, I design itineraries with intention and depth. What I Offer as your travel advisor is also opportunity to get directly involved with the community with volunteer options as well as exclusive access to private villas & off-season deals through partnerships with Celtic Tours and other vetted vendors. I offer access to exclusive villa packages, many of which are not available to the general public. I also specialize in off-season travel, which means more value, fewer crowds, and deeper connection to place.

Tailored Itineraries with Local Insight Every itinerary I design is built around your travel style, pace, and interests. Want a low-key honeymoon? A girls’ trip with food and wine? A multi-generational family getaway with hands-on learning and downtime built in? I can offer it all and I can’t wait to plan yours.

End-to-End Support
From planning flights and transfers to securing museum reservations, restaurant bookings, and local guides, I take the stress out of planning so you can focus on the joy of travel. I also help with budgeting, upgrades, and pacing your days so you don’t burn out trying to “see it all.”

Ethical & Mindful Travel As a conscious traveler myself, I care deeply about supporting local businesses and experiences that respect regional culture, environment, and community. I work only with trusted vendors who share those values. Ideal For:
• Couples seeking romantic Tuscan getaways
• Small groups (up to 7) looking for authentic villa stays
• Food and wine lovers ready to dive into Chianti, Brunello, and truffle season
• Solo travelers wanting a peaceful retreat with guidance
• Families interested in education-based travel and comfort
• Art & culture enthusiasts with an eye for the Renaissance and beyond

Let’s Bring Your Italian Story to Life
My job is to help you skip hours of research, avoid the tourist traps, and unlock the type of trip people spend their lives talking about. Whether it’s your first time in Italy or your fifth, every traveler deserves a trip that feels tailored and transformational.If you’re ready to experience the best of Tuscany and Florence with the personal touch and peace of mind that comes from having a trusted advisor, then I’m ready to help!

March Vows
Reviewed By Elle - Tallahasseee Florida | Traveled to Tallahassee | Florida | USA
Along with leaving Kai Colson Travel a five-star review, I'm going to keep using their services. The early wedding season of 2025 began in mid-February. My client who was getting married in March told me that her friends and family coming from Illinois didn't have a hotel or a way to get around. As the couple's event advisor, I would typically bring up this topic early on, but bear in mind that I had less than four weeks to work my magic on their behalf. I accepted the challenge and contacted Kai Colson. My emails were answered right away, everyone arrived on time, hotel rooms were chosen based on group and block rates, and there was transportation from the airport to the hotels and back.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

APA Florida Planning Conference 2024
Reviewed By APAFL - Tallahassee, Florida | Traveled to Tampa | Florida | USA
APA Florida hosts the Florida Planning Conference every year for planners throughout the state of Florida. This past year our event was in Tampa and had a record-breaking conference of over 1,100 attendees. Kai was our go-to person when communicating with vendors such as Catering, Transportation, A/V and the Tampa Convention Center staff. He also assisted with communications with the 4 hotels that we had under contract for the 3.5-day event. He was ready to take on any challenge and assisted with planning as well as being a boots-on-the-ground participant. He arrived early to the event with the event staff and stayed through tear-down to help us get packed up more quickly. There was nothing that he would not jump in and help with for this event. From this experience, Kai is HIGHLY recommended for any large group planning of events. Thanks for making this event run more smoothly, Kai!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful Las Vegas experience!
Reviewed By JCD Builders - Tallahassee, FL | Traveled to Las Vegas | Nevada | USA
Our educational trip to Las Vegas was absolutely amazing! We participated in a student competition with over 30 people in our group, and we loved every single minute of it. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the agent was incredibly patient with all the changes we needed. He took care of our every need, making it a truly wonderful experience working with him. We can't wait to call him again for our next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
