Italy stole my heart! I loved the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany, It’s the people, the history, the food and of course the wine! It’s a country that calls me back for more. 5 times in not enough.

There are so many details about your journey. Details they are countless, It’s more than getting there and where you will sleep. It’s all about the experience and creating memories.

Missy is a joy to work with

Missy is one of the most passionate agents I know. She really truly cares
about her clients. I know this because I am one of her Whole Sale Business Development Managers. I have worked with Missy for many years. She puts her heart and soul into every booking to make sure she is giving the best advise for the best price to each and every client. When things go right she is so excited about the trips she has planned and takes delight in hearing her clients stories. The very few times things go wrong she is right there trying to get things fixed to the satisfaction of her clients. If my family or friends were looking for an agent Missy would be one that I would recommend. She is knowledgeable, she listens to what your needs and wants are, she makes suggestions based on her experiences and she does this all with a smile.
