Experienced Living in Italy
I lived and worked in Italy for over 6 years as a tour manager. To say I know Italy very well is true. My favorite place was always Florence with its Renaissance period and the history of Michelangelo, DaVinci, and all the artists from that period. Traveling weekly throughout all of Italy for 7 months each year gave me a great appreciation for all of its beauty and just how special each region really is. I am happy to share that knowledge with you when planning your trip to Italy.

My "Go to" contact for travel.
Reviewed By Linda - Venice, FL | Traveled to Europe
To say Karyn is a Travel Agent is an understatement. She is a Travel Arranger. Karyn takes care of all the details that make a trip a success and then you can relax and enjoy. She arranges planes, trains and automobiles.... as well as cruises (both sea and river), land tours and she usually adds in special excursions not found on any itinerary. I have traveled extensively on trips that Karyn has arranged, and they have been some of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Bucket List destinations reached: Africa, China, Russia, around the horn of South America and European Christmas Markets. Where to next? I don't know yet, but I do know that Karyn will be ready to provide expert advice.

African Safari
Reviewed By Jack - Venice, FL | Traveled to Africa
I’ve work with Karyn on several trips. Each one was excellent. She will make sure you have everything you need and will go out of her way to get it if you don’t. She takes the time to explain everything and answers your questions. She is very knowledgeable and will make excellent suggestions. It’s been a pleasure working with Karyn and I hope to continue working with her for a long time.

Great Large Group Trip
Reviewed By Maureen - Vencie, FL | Traveled to Caribbean
Karyn helped us plan and did all the bookings for a very large group travel trip. It was amazing how she was able to organize and take care of everyone's needs. Karyn was great and easy to work with. She was very responsive and got back to us very quickly via email, text and phone calls.
She took care of every little detail and was on top of everything.
She explained everything very clearly.
Because Karyn was booking a very large trip for us, she held initial meet and greet meetings, many group meetings and then final meetings right before the trip in order to make sure everyone had everything they needed and was ready for the trip. We could not have done this trip without Karyn. We will definitely use Karyn again for any type of trip: Individual trips, small family trips, large trips, cruises, land trips, etc. Karyn has traveled a lot and is very knowledgeable when it comes to any type of travel.
I have recommended her to family and friends who are using her for future

Best tour guide ever!
Reviewed By Nick - Upstate New York | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Met Karyn in 2018 when we were planning our very first trip to Europe. After only a few minutes it was as if our foursome and Karyn were old friends. When it came to traveling around northern Italy, Karyn was a fantastic tour guide as she had lived in Italy for a while and knew the people, places, and language. This trip with her is still the gold standard for travel in our book!
