Experienced Living in Italy

I lived and worked in Italy for over 6 years as a tour manager. To say I know Italy very well is true. My favorite place was always Florence with its Renaissance period and the history of Michelangelo, DaVinci, and all the artists from that period. Traveling weekly throughout all of Italy for 7 months each year gave me a great appreciation for all of its beauty and just how special each region really is. I am happy to share that knowledge with you when planning your trip to Italy.

    Trip of a Lifetime
    Reviewed By The Moesch family - Venice, Florida | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
    Karyn is an excellent travel consultant. She takes the time to get to know you and understands what your travel needs are. I highly recommend her for the professional experience she provides in travel. Her help with our trip to Europe was invaluable and we love the passion she puts in her work to make your vacation exceptional.

    My "Go to" contact for travel.
    Reviewed By Linda - Venice, FL | Traveled to Europe
    To say Karyn is a Travel Agent is an understatement. She is a Travel Arranger. Karyn takes care of all the details that make a trip a success and then you can relax and enjoy. She arranges planes, trains and automobiles.... as well as cruises (both sea and river), land tours and she usually adds in special excursions not found on any itinerary. I have traveled extensively on trips that Karyn has arranged, and they have been some of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Bucket List destinations reached: Africa, China, Russia, around the horn of South America and European Christmas Markets. Where to next? I don't know yet, but I do know that Karyn will be ready to provide expert advice.

    African Safari
    Reviewed By Jack - Venice, FL | Traveled to Africa
    I’ve work with Karyn on several trips. Each one was excellent. She will make sure you have everything you need and will go out of her way to get it if you don’t. She takes the time to explain everything and answers your questions. She is very knowledgeable and will make excellent suggestions. It’s been a pleasure working with Karyn and I hope to continue working with her for a long time.
