Welcome to our Europe page.


That is me in the picture at one of my favorite places in Tuscany - San Felice!
(when I had red hair)

We are able to offer you tours in Europe from fully escorted like a Tauck or Perillo tour, to fully independent and everything in between.  We offer tours to England, Ireland, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, as well as central and Northern Europe.  Just let us know your desired location  and we do the rest.  Out travel experts possess an intimate knowledge of the areas you’ll be visiting., and will suggest the best ways to see them.  Don’t just rely on a tiny web photo, ask us, we’ve seen them in person.  And by the “best” we do not mean the “most expensive”.  Rather we seek out the best value for you in every hotel category, from tourist class to deluxe, always keeping your budget in mind.

Along with traditional hotel accommodations, we offer a wide array of alternative lodgings ranging from weeklong rental stays in villas, country homes and city apartments, in addition to hotel-like accommodations in castles, rustic inns, monasteries, and elegant estates.

We help you develop a worry free vacation by making all air, rail, and car arrangements to create your completely customized itinerary.  You’re the boss!  We can arrange day excursions and sight seeing tours with private English speaking drivers to develop an itinerary that’s  a personally tailored balance of structured and free-time activities.  We also provide you with local contacts in case of an emergency, so your vacation is truly worry free.

Perhaps you have considered holding a family reunion in Europe and did not know where to begin.  Relax and leave the arrangements to us!  We can offer semi-escorted tours that leave you worry free.  Whether you are traveling with family, friends, or even business associates we can take your ideas and make sure all the details will be taken care of.   We’ll provide you with guides and motor coaches where necessary and as much free time as you desire.  We can make your dream vacation a reality!  As few as 15 people can qualify for special group handling.  We often have groups that are planning next years vacation, even before they return home, this year London, next year Italy…….
