Enthusiastic Oenophile
If it's off the beaten path, quiet, and soul-stirring—it's probably Christina's doing. This Italy aficionado loves to zig when others zag, whether it’s a prosecco tasting at brunch (surprisingly transcendent) or Tuscany at Christmas (David Copperfield-level magic).

Our Trip Designers would love to hear from you. Drop us a line and we’ll get back to you soon.
I can’t remember if it was my dad's bravery for bringing three teenagers to New York City or to Tijuana, Mexico that actually did it for me, but either way the (travel) seed was planted early on.

Accolades
We were simply blown away by our trip and have so many positive things to say I hardly know where to begin. I'm not sure which one (or maybe it's you) was responsible for attending to every last detail, but truly nothing was missed, right down to a drum salute at the monastery! Really over the top.
— Sandra KeeganThis was a trip of a lifetime and that is saying a lot considering our age and how much we've travelled. Each day was another fabulous surprise despite our having the itinerary. Constant extras like the gelato tasting and tour in Pienze, the wine tasting in San Felice (which wasn't a winery but a restored beautiful town) flag throwers at our final dinner... oh my. Magnificent is too small a word.
