Destination
Europe
Cobblestones, café mornings, slow trains.
Europe is the trip most people want to do once and end up doing five times. I plan it the slow way, fewer cities, longer stays, and the small luxuries (a private driver in Tuscany, a sunset boat in Capri, an after-hours Vatican walk) that turn a vacation into a story you'll tell for years.
- Best time to go
- April to June and September to October. Shoulder seasons mean fewer crowds, mild weather, better hotel rates.
- Ideal for
- Couples, honeymooners, history buffs, multi-gen families, first-time European travelers and seasoned returners alike.
What I plan
- Private after-hours Vatican and Sistine Chapel tours
- First-class rail between Paris, Lucerne, Venice, Florence, Rome
- Amalfi Coast villa stays with daily housekeeper and private cook
- Tuscan wine country with a private driver and sommelier-led lunches
- Highland castle stays and whisky tastings in Scotland
- Christmas-market river cruises on the Danube and Rhine

Good to know
- Book peak-season Europe 6–9 months ahead for the best hotels.
- I handle every train ticket, transfer, and reservation, no logistics on you.
- Travel insurance is non-negotiable for international trips; I'll source it.
I've been to every city on this itinerary, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Sorrento, Pisa included. I know which 'must-do' tours are tourist traps and which are unforgettable.
