“Andi took the angst out of planning a big trip by creating a once in a lifetime experience for my husband and I. She listened to our vision for the trip and brought together the accommodations, guides, transport and special details that made our 18 days in Italy memorable and relaxing. We were thrilled with her work and hope to travel again with her guidance.”

"I wanted to personally say 'mille grazie' for all the help you gave for our vacation. There wasn't a place to stay, or a site to visit, that wasn't perfect...We couldn't have had things go more perfect, and we so appreciate everything you did."

Brit and Arlene, Port Orchard WA

What a gift to have had such an uneventful travel experience in that everything ran so smoothly and wonderfully. Your help and suggestions really paid off as every place we stayed, every service we used, was fantastico! Honestly, this was by far ~ the easiest time we?ve had on a vacation, and we?ve had lots of them. All the maps, specific directions, and especially locations were perfect. You really personalized for us and made this trip a dream!!!!!

What My Customers Say!

We were extremely happy with how our trip turned out. I was always used to planning our own trips, and I cannot say how nice it was to let someone else take care of the arrangements, from booking a car, providing us with daily touring ideas, restaurant ideas, and continuously communicating with hotels to get room upgrades. Prior to our departure, I really appreciated the interactive travel planning experience Andi provided. She sat down with us and obtained a lot of specific information about our expectations. We spoke frequently in the months leading up to the trip to fine-tune what we really wanted in terms of places to see and accommodations. Andi was able to come up with several options that fit our budget and our lodging expectations (small, boutique hotels, with luxury lodging and services). The hotels all turned out to be amazing experiences. I was also very pleased with the touring recommendations Andi gave us. Since we had a car, she was able to refer us to some areas that were really off the beaten path, and not found in any guide book, including some great restaurants that turned out to be among our favorites. One of our best days, however, was a private tour of Rome's ruins. While I had visited Rome before, the tour gave me a whole different perspective of this amazing city. The tour lasted all day, with a very congenial and knowledgeable guide, and was an excellent value. With just my husband and I as the only participants, we were able to ask unlimited questions, getting extremely informative responses, resulting in a much needed and overdue history lesson on Rome's imperial period. When we plan to visit Italy again, Andi will be the first person to whom we will turn for guidance.
