A full-service Travel Leaders Associate Agency
Luxury & River Cruise Enthusiast
Today, luxury is not made of marble. Luxury is offering exclusive experiences the ordinary traveler doesn't have access to. Wanting to try a new destination? With over 30 years of being a travel snob, I understand that having coffee with kangaroos in Australia and a Vespa tour through Tuscany should not be missed. Don't forget cooking with a "Nonna" in Italy, Funicular ride to the top of Mt. Pilatus in Switzerland to finding the best quaint hotels some of the world has to offer or some of the best overwater bungalows the south Pacific has to offer. After all the devil is in the details!
I have river cruised on almost all of the rivers in Europe including the Seine, Danube, Rhine and Rhone along with Tulip time in the Netherlands. I have sailed with AMA waterways, Avalon, Uniworld and Viking. I can tell you the difference in quality and held guide you in making a decision that works best for you. After all, that's what makes and expert is first hand knowledge.
