Guided Vacations including small groups

As a passionate advocate for guided vacations, I believe they offer an exceptional way for my clients to discover new destinations. With the expertise of a knowledgeable guide, a dedicated driver, and a carefully crafted itinerary, you can immerse yourself in the experience alongside a group of like-minded travelers.


Contrary to the outdated image of large, unwieldy tourist groups, modern guided tours are intimate, featuring small groups that stay in unique hotels and enjoy seamless travel without logistical worries.


What truly sets guided vacations apart is the guide. These experts are not only a wealth of knowledge and fascinating stories but also provide invaluable advice for your free time. They ensure you stay engaged and grant you priority access to sightseeing, along with opportunities to indulge in unique experiences like cooking classes in Tuscany or wine tasting in the Loire Valley.


If you're eager to explore a new country or uncover hidden gems closer to home, I collaborate with a variety of top-tier companies that offer high-quality guided vacations tailored to fulfill your travel dreams. Reach out to me by phone or email to schedule an appointment, and let's begin planning your next unforgettable journey.

Great Family Adventure
Meridith was very helpful in planning our recent family vacation. She was knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect vacation within our budget that met all of our needs. She was also very responsive to my many requests.

Meridith is the best. Great attention to detail, whether it's a complicated family trip or standard business travel. She also finds the interesting places to stay, fun things to do, and reviews from other travelers. Meridith is fantastic, and we greatly appreciate the 20 years worth of great work.

Amazing trip!
Meridith was amazing to work with planning our first family trip overseas! She made a few suggestions that I declined, and now that I’ve made the trip, I wish we would have taken her advice. Although our trip was fabulous, from fantastic accommodations to coordinated transportation, if we did it again, I would take her recommendations to take the train to more cities to expand our experience. I highly recommend Meridith for your travel needs. She was great!!
