“Thanks to you and Anne we had a perfect, stress-free two-week vacation in Europe with lots of memories!” 

 William & Katie, Hanover NH, train trip through Europe
It all starts with a conversation.

Where do you want to go? When? What would you most like to take home from your experience? Or do you already have a trip planned and want our help to enrich it? The possibilities are limitless. We will explore with you where you want to go and inspire your thought process to define what you truly want from this trip. 

The way into the heart of your chosen destination is through an understanding of the place in its unique context. From its history to its cultural heritage to the development through the ages of its home, crafts, and political life, you will find yourself immersed in their story. And it will become part of yours. We personalize your journey, enriching your experience in your chosen destination, uncovering its hidden delights, revealing it in the context of its history and culture, even while nestled in the trappings of modern day life, so that you come home with a deeper, richer, broader understanding of the world. It will change your life!

Explore wine country in Bordeaux or Tuscany; discover the secrets of olive oil with a tasting in Tuscany or in Spain; marvel at glass making in Murano in the Venetian lagoon or outside of Prague; savor a food tour almost everywhere; take a hands-on cooking class in Lisbon or Rome or Tuscany; experience in-home dining in Hungary or Prague; find your ancestors in Europe; make a fall foliage pilgrimage to New England to see the brilliant fall colors; take a private tour of the US Capitol building or a spring garden tour in the Netherlands…so many possibilities to expand your horizons. Let us help you IMAGINE, PLAN & GO!!! See more in our Photo Inspirations.

Once we decide to work together, we will ask you for a non-refundable proposal fee that will, should you accept our proposal, be credited to the amount owed for your personalized journey.   
Visualize your journey laid out in our personalized proposal!

We develop a personalized proposal for you, based on what you have told us about what you most want to experience, see, and do. Let us find for you little, out-of-the way places that bring a culture alive. Let us find you local guides who know and love their homeland and want you to love it too. Let us place you in that little hotel tucked away from the maddening crowds where you can relax and enjoy your stay and get to know some of the people who animate your neighborhood. Let us introduce you to typical restaurants that excel in local cuisine and present it with pride. Or we can involve you in hands-on activities that illuminate the local way of life and customs. 

Our personal relationships across our areas of expertise--with drivers, guides, crafts people, boutique hotel owners, restauranteurs, unique activity purveyors—help us create your journey and make it authentic. 

It’s what we do. And we love it! We put it all together in a written proposal that you can pore over, decide what you like, ask for more detail or different ideas, in order to refine your trip exactly as you envision and within your budget. Then we sign a contract in which we commit to delivering what we have proposed and in which you commit, for example, to the payment schedule.
And come home with a cornucopia of memories!

We finalize all the arrangements, prepare a detailed itinerary for you, and off you GO!, to garner memories of a lifetime. And we remain in touch, always available, to answer questions, provide an additional activity, or resolve issues should any arise.

No worries! We are here to help. It’s what we do. Your job is to relax and enjoy!! 

And then…once you are home, we prepare a final accounting and ask you for your feedback. It’s how we learn to provide better and better service. We may even ask you to share a few photos with us, if you will.   

It is, in the end, all about the memories!
