Agent Specializing in Customized European Travel

“We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” This quote from John Hope Franklin I think summarizes my approach to travel. Ever since my first solo plane ride as a young child, I have been fascinated and energized by the opportunity to travel. In 36 years as an educator, I have been fortunate to travel around the world and have some fantastic experiences organizing and leading trips, whether for personal travel, participating in educational exchanges, or leading groups on trips. I am passionate (perhaps to the point of obsession) about focusing on details and meticulous planning to make the experience unique, deeply meaningful, and enjoyable. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to help make your travel a memorable experience for you and your companions.

I grew up in upstate NY and love the cold and the snow. Our changing climate has made these fragile ecosystems even more rare and necessary to explore, experience, and educate ourselves about the beauty and uniqueness of these areas and the cultures that thrive in them. I have taken groups to Ice...

My Travel Stories

Sami Reindeer Camp
Norway
Tromsø (pronounced Troomsuh) is the capital of arctic Norway. It is a vibrant city with many claims to the "furthest north_____". At almost 70º N latitude, it is around the same as Barrow Alaska, yet its coastal location keeps the climate more moderate throughout the year. It is a great base to explore all the far north has to offer. Skiing, dog...

The Dolomites
When you've had your fill of museums, cultural sites, and crowds, escape up to the Italian Alps, or Dolomites for an unforgettable experience and relaxing break.  Unlike in the US, when you hike to the top of many Italian peaks, there is a full service refugio with food and an aperitivo waiting for you! In addition to the incredible view and sen...

Venice
Not much needs to be said about Venice. It is Venice! You have to go and experience it all.  It lives up to all expectations.  My favorite thing is just wandering around the streets and canals, especially early in the morning when no one is up except the vendors cleaning up after the previous day and bringing in everything for the next one! You ...

Verona
Verona is a great smaller city to visit on a day trip, or better, stay for a few days! It's easily accessible by train to Venice, Florence, and Milan and it is a great base of operations to explore Lake Garda, Franciacorto wine regions, or the Dolomites.  It is easily walkable, has great lodgings, historical sites, museums, restaurants and gelat...

Assisi
An amazing hill town that is an easy train from Florence or Rome, Assisi is a great visit, especially after the day visitors depart in the evening and before they arrive in the morning.  Of course there is a lot to offer historically and religiously, and wondering the streets can really help you forget about the modern world. Lots of cafes and s...

A trip to cherish!
Reviewed By MKS - Marlton, NJ | Traveled to Florence ~ Italy ~ Europe
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to plan our trip or a better person to deal with the unexpected events of that trip. I always knew that Larry was the consummate professional who was available under any circumstances.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Terrific Tulip Time
Reviewed By MS - Marlton,NJ | Traveled to Amsterdam ~ Netherlands ~ Europe
Working with Larry Ottman for the second time, I was reminded of his attention to detail and his dedication to making our vacation a memorable one. Our trip to Amsterdam was a smooth one from start to finish: from Keukenhof to the Rijksmuseum to strolls along the canals. Even the occasional rain didn’t dampen the well-planned trip. I look forward to Larry’s guidance for our next adventure.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
