Eighty percent of our trips are specially designed for families, groups of friends, clubs, and associations. Designing adventures to meet your unique needs is our pleasure.
Clubs and Associations: Imagine a reunion with your sorority sisters while adventuring from Paris to Barcelona, marveling at magnificent castles, wine tasting at countryside vineyards, and experiencing the world’s most famous works of art. Envision hiking the trails of Umbria with other lovers of the outdoors, while learning the natural and cultural history of your surroundings and taking in breathtaking views. Imagine watching famous operas in a first century A.D. Roman amphitheater, taking part in one of the most well known jazz festivals in the world in Umbria, and reveling in as many dance and drama performances as you can find with other music enthusiasts.
We have had the pleasure of designing trips like these for the past 10 years for a wonderful array of respected clubs and organizations, including: The Metropolitan Club of San Francisco, the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland, Sierra Club (for whom we designed a well-loved “Hiking the Franciscan Trail” adventure, as well as other active journeys to Sicily, Southern Italy, Northern Italy, and Slovenia), Museo ItaloAmericano of San Francisco, Stanford Alumni Women’s Club of the East Bay, and Chi Omega Sorority. In addition, several wine makers have asked us to introduce their best clients to the Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese wines on our famed Wine triangle trips.
Families and Groups of Friends: Imagine getting the family together to explore the lands of your ancestors, with activities specially planned to keep travelers of all ages happy! Envision gathering your “foodie” friends to sample the best delicacies of Italy, while learning how olive oil is made and practicing secret recipes in cooking classes. Picture planning your dream wedding in an exclusive Italian palace! We can make it happen!
Companies, Educational Societies, and Other Groups: Have you ever wished you could organize that corporate event, that academic conference, or that continuing education conference in a way that wouldn’t keep you stuck in a dark room all day? Take your event on the road! Not only can we help you find the perfect, quaint, refreshing place for you to do business, we’ll help you make an exciting travel experience for your group, who will forever thank you for making work feel fun! We are also very happy to help you design incentive trips, or other sorts of “post- work” adventures.
Building tailor-made trips centered on your interests — from food and wine, to nature and hiking, to art, culture, and history, to relaxation — is our strength and joy.
