As a travel agent I have had the opportunity to go to Sicily on a small escorted tour.  This tour was one of the best I have ever been on.  The amount of people on this was a max of 16 and we only had 12.  We started in Palermo and ended in Taormina.  What i liked is we stayed right in villages in houses amongst the natives.  Experienced the markets outside and the little food markets they have. Our tour guide use to live in Sicily as a child before he came over to the US.  So having him as a guide was fantastic because in knew everyone.  We went to restaurants that were family owned, learned how to pick olives from the tree and then took them down to the manufacturing plant and learned how to make olive oil.  Did a lot of walking tours of the villages and experienced there culture.


Have also done Italy by hiring our own car and had them take us out to the suburbs and to all the points of interest.  


Have also been to Ireland two times at different parts of that country.  Did small escorted and Group tours, also did some on our own.


Greek Islands are gorgeous!  So much to see and do.  A lot of my  tours were private and small tours.  Athens has so much to see.  Greece in all has so much history there.


As a travel agent I have booked 2 small groups to Italy which they did some private tours, train to get from one spot to another and time on there own.


Ireland was the same with a small escorted tour.  Which they loved because the tour operator was able to take them all over and spend more time because it was so small.


If Europe is somewhere you would like, let me plan a trip of a life time for you. We can customize to your interests.

I'll never book a trip on my own again.
If not for Lisa, my trip to Ireland would not be as memorable as it is to this day. The itinerary was 100% tailored to our wish list. Our tour included a wide range of marvelous experiences & accommodations at each stop along the way. No matter what type of business or vacation travel you have in mind, Lisa has the tools & experience to ensure the best possible trip.

Lisa's attention to detail made the trip GREAT!!
Last year Lisa organized a trip for our entire family, 36 of us, to take the cruise out of Boston to Bermuda. She was simply put...outstanding throughout the whole process. She made sure that our state rooms were all blocked together and got us several "extras" from the cruise line. She had t-shirts made for each member of our family which included young children and babies. Lisa kept us informed about the trip prior and also after the cruise to make sure we were pleased. I would recommend her with no hesitation at all.

Great first trip to New England!
Lisa was extremely helpful. She went the extra mile to help us discover Maine on our 2-week vacation. We stayed in 3 towns and had all kinds of things to do thanks to her. I would heartily recommend Lisa for any travel you may want to do.

It was a pleasure setting this trip up for all of you. I wanted to have you experience a little of everything Maine has to offer. It was nice coming to see you in Portland and go on the excursion with you all. Please keep me in mind for any future travel. I do it all, cruises, Europe, all inclusive, US etc. Referrals are greatly appreciated. Lisa

Incredible service
It has been a pleasure working with Lisa to plan our vacations. She has great suggestions, pays attention to detail, and is efficient with reservations. Her input was valuable to make the best of our trips and she makes herself available at all hours to assist us with issues when traveling. I feel reassured knowing that Lisa was involved with the planning of our vacation and that if there were last-minute changes, such as a flight cancellation (which has happened twice), she was there to help us return home. I am looking forward to working with Lisa in the future.
