About Me

Certified by the Italian Board of Tourism, I love to help travelers plan personalized, immersive trips throughout Italy! While living in Arco, Italy, I got a real taste of local life—exploring cities across the Trentino-Alto Adige region, learning the ins and outs of public transportation, and enjoying plenty of amazing food along the way. Whether you're dreaming of wine in Tuscany, hikes in the Alps, beaches in the south, or a cultural deep dive in Rome, I’ll help you create a trip that’s fun, smooth, and full of authentic experiences.

I can’t wait to help bring your Italian adventure to life!

Excellent Pre-Trip Advice
Reviewed By Nikki Beranak - Lakeville, MN | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
Laurie and Nikki provided excellent advice on which tours to go on, which spots to see and gave me a chance to enjoy my trip far more than if I had to do the planning by myself. This was my first time using a travel agent...will 100% call them again. Worth every penny!
Nikki Beranak responded

Excellence and Ease, From Start to Finish
Reviewed By Eric + Liza - Palo Alto, CA | Traveled to Europe
We can’t recommend Nikki highly enough. As we became overrun with work close to our trip and lacked adequate time to plan, Nikki quickly collaborated with us to figure out our goals and plan a dream vacation that was engaging, efficient, and left us ample room for exploration! She handled finding tours, cooking classes, seamless transportation, accommodations, and more. It was a huge load off our minds and she made our experience so easy!? When a few variables arose and we needed assistance mid-trip, Nikki was immediately available to help us make necessary adjustments. We are so grateful for all she did to make our trip magical and will surely be using her again on our next major excursion! Thank you, Nikki! Eric + Liza
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
