Italy

Since 2001, my focus has been on helping couples, families and small groups customize their own unique trips to destinations in the Mediterranean region of Europe and beyond.  As a former Tour Leader with 30 years’ experience, I have had the good fortune of traveling extensively and with my knowledge can help you enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Whether you’re thinking of Italy by train or Greece by flight and ferry, you can count on me to help plan your perfect getaway. 

I realize that planning a vacation can be fun and exciting, but also frustrating and confusing as you search for the best itinerary for air, hotel, car/transfers, rail and/or cruise. I can greatly simplify the process, putting everything into one seamless plan and helping you obtain the best value for your travel dollar.  My resources and local partnerships will afford you the luxury of a stress-free planning experience and trip. 

Extraordinary vacations begin with careful planning, which is why I take the time to answer your questions and listen to your ideas before making recommendations specifically tailored for you. My mission is to create itineraries that speak to your own unique needs, ensuring that you have many unforgettable experiences during your travels, and leaving you with a desire to come back for even more. I believe that any journey can become a true adventure by remaining open to new and spontaneous experiences and connecting with locals in a variety of settings. Travel is exciting, uplifting, educational, and has the power to change how we see the world and our place in it.   

My clients include experienced travelers and first-timers – anyone who values customized, no-stress travel. I have plenty of personal experience with family trips as well as multi-generational travel.  I specialize in the following Mediterranean destinations: Italy, Greece, Turkey, France, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Sicily, Egypt and Morocco.  I am also well-versed in travel to Ireland and the United Kingdom.  In addition, I have years of experience in yacht and sailboat charter as well as villa rental and small ship cruises.

Client Comments

“Everything was perfect.  Organizing the trip with Mary was easy and I believe she really accommodated my needs and wants while planning the trip.  I loved the detail of my information package, including pictures.  I also like the ideas about what to do on off-time.  I will recommend your agency to all my friends.” D.E.

“Mary was spectacular with her planning and flexibility.  She truly listened and helped us immensely even though we booked last-minute.  Each day of the trip one of us would comment on Mary’s ability to help us have a well-rounded adventure, balanced with nature sites, people, rural/city, museums, tours, etc. Just perfect!” E.J.
