We specialize in creating unforgettable Italian experiences, offering travel consulting and custom itinerary development. Our goal is full-service travel planning, designed to help you plan a memorable trip to an unforgettable country. We also offer three small-group, guided tours per year, designed for women only. These tours are open to up to six women per trip, and include individual accommodations, all ground travel, and robust itineraries filled with uncommon experiences.

We had a small group, so it felt like a group of friends traveling together. Heather is well organized and planned wonderful experiences for us. I wish we had been able to enjoy more time in the cafes on the piazza in the evenings, but it was an amazing week!
