Christmas Market Cruising

We spent several weeks in December 2023 and January 2024 on a family trip to Europe. At Maria's suggestion, we had a few days in Prague and Vienna first, to overcome our jetlag - very wise advice. We then joined a river cruise and loved visiting many Christmas Markets along the way, truly spectacular scenery.  Flights to Geneva where we met more family members, and then on to a week of skiing over Christmas in the French Alps. Such a memorable christmas day! On to Paris for NYE, which was incredible. Maria arranged everything, and wow we were so impressed.  With a party of 6 adults and very specific requirements, she managed to find accommodation and activities that suited everyone, no easy feat.  Lots of transfers, pickups, scheduling and hotels to be booked and confirmed - Maria is a whiz and we felt very secure in all that she had organised for us. It was the trip of a lifetime for us, as we don't get together very often, so to have this time away in Europe was so special.

Thank you Ben for your kind words. Arranging your family trip to Europe where you could all reunite to spend quality time together for Christmas and New Year's was so much fun. Your photos (and the fabulous weather) of your week in the French Alps were incredible. It is so rewarding to bring families together to create wonderful memories they will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you for trusting me with the most precious trip of a lifetime. Can't wait to work with you to plan your next adventure!!

Wonderful Italy

Our first trip to Europe was 6 weeks in northern Italy, and what a trip it was! We were excited but anxious about how it would all go, would the holiday go smoothly?  We should not have worried, as Maria organised and took care of EVERYTHING!  Not only flights and hotels, but transfers, tours and everything in between.  She was just fabulous! Maria really listened to what sort of holiday we wanted - lots of private tours but also days where we could just explore ourselves locally.  All of her recommendations we amazing and we had the best time.  There were a LOT of moving parts to this trip, and her expertise and contacts made it so very special.  There is no way I could have arranged all that myself! She is very particular about details, and we knew we were in good hands. I'm sure we drove her a bit nuts with all our questions, but she is eternally patient!  The itinerary she devised for us was just fantastic and we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you, Maria, for such a memorable trip!

Thank you Treena for such a fantastic review. I absolutely loved working with you and my partner suppliers to create your dream trip to Italy. Six weeks is a long time to be away and I wanted to make sure your holiday was as perfect as it could be. Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the process and working together to bring your vision to life. I look forward to working on your next adventure!!

We started booking our trip with Maria in early March for our 3 week  trip to Europe in September.I changed the plans a few times and Maria was very patient and gave me some great advise in regards to what would work besttimewise and with 2 kids aged 10 1nd 13. The itinerary was carefully thought through and Maria went out of her way to find us the best toursin Rome and Paris. It was peace of mind knowing she was always there for us even when we were in Europe .My wife and kids were so happy with the trip overall thanks to  the plans put in place.I will definitely be asking Maria to help me for my next holiday.
