Guided Tours & Complete Land Vacations

One of my favorite land trips was two weeks in Sicily with my partner. We spent the first week on a G Adventures tour from Catania to Palermo, then another week on our own exploring their family’s roots.

I really enjoyed that combination. During the tour, we had a guide and an itinerary already arranged, so we could spend our time enjoying Sicily. Afterward, we visited Cefalù, San Biagio Platani and Vicari, with time to focus on something personal to my partner. We even came home with birth certificates for three of their four grandparents!

That trip is a good example of why I like planning beyond the tour itself. A guided itinerary can introduce you to a destination, and additional time gives you room for the things you want to do. Maybe that’s visiting a family village, spending longer in a favorite city, or having a few days with fewer plans.

I’ve personally traveled with G Adventures and completed training with Globus and Cosmos. I can help you compare touring styles, how much is included, the pace of an itinerary, and how much free time you’ll have. We’ll talk about whether you enjoy moving from place to place or would rather spend longer in fewer stops.

From there, I can help bring together the full vacation, including flights, hotels, transfers, guided touring and additional stays. I want the arrangements to make sense together and give you time to enjoy what you’ve traveled to see.

I welcome travelers from all backgrounds. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I’m also happy to talk openly about finding welcoming travel experiences that fit your comfort level.

Tell me where you’re thinking of going and what’s drawing you there. You don’t need to have the whole itinerary figured out before we start.
