Whether you're planning your first trip to Europe or trying to make the most of limited vacation time, we take the guesswork out of where to go, how to get there, and what not to miss. From navigating flights and trains to crafting balanced day-by-day itineraries, we help you travel smarter, not just check off the highlights. You’ll get a personalized plan designed around your style, your pace, and your priorities, without the overwhelm of endless Google searches or AI-generated templates that miss the mark.
You bring your ideas! Whether it's a detailed wish list or a simple "I’ve always wanted to go to Portugal" — and we’ll bring the expertise. Through a personalized consultation, we’ll get to know your travel style, timeline, budget, and goals so we can design a trip that reflects you. There’s no right or wrong place to start. Just start where you are.
We take everything you’ve shared and turn it into a detailed, thoughtful itinerary tailored to your pace, interests, and budget. From flight options and train connections to lodging ideas and daily sightseeing routes, you’ll get a custom plan built around your priorities, not someone else’s tour schedule. We’ll make sure everything flows

Our food tours in NYC and St. Augustine have earned us 3 spots in TripAdvisor's top 25 Food & Drink experiences in the USA. This recognition comes from consistently delivering authentic local experiences that travelers rave about. The same approach we bring to your European travel planning.
Every recommendation comes with years of experience. We've walked the cobblestone streets of Kraków, sipped wine in Portugal's Douro Valley, and discovered hidden pubs in Prague. We plan trips to places we genuinely love and know well.
While many planners try to cover the entire world, we specialize in Europe. From Iceland's dramatic landscapes to Slovenia's hidden gems, we focus our energy on the destinations we know best.
