Italy By Design
You have longed for this enchanted moment and envisioned how it would all play out. But nothing quite prepared you for actually living your dream. Picture this. The day begins with you awakening to the exposed beamed ceilings and terracotta floors of your Tuscan villa. You open the shutters and marvel at the site before you. Simply stunning. After a relaxing morning, you meander through the backroads of the Chianti region. The breathtaking landscape tantalizes you with scenes of vines heavy with grapes, olive trees blanketing the countryside, cypress trees lining dirt roads, and medieval castles dotting the textured Tuscan hills. But there’s more. That night, you and your loved ones are treated to dinner at a trattoria cradled in the vineyards of the picturesque countryside. The various dishes are delectable. The ingredients are the finest and freshest offerings of the land. Overwhelmed by your fortune to experience the sights, the scents, the tastes, you close your eyes and bask in the splendor of it all. That is when you notice the sounds permeate the night air. The hum of light chatter, distant laughter, and a melodious serenade compete for your attention amid the clinking of wine glasses. Now you can say you are living the dream–la dolce vita. This day, like all the other days in Italy, leaves an indelible impression on your heart and mind, compelling you to start planning your return. Until next time, la mia bella Italia!
Exquisite River Cruises
Perched comfortably on your private balcony chair, you indulge in your first freshly brewed cup of coffee. Somewhere distant on the riverbank, rhythmically chimes church bells. The most scenic sites of Europe greet you as you glide effortlessly through the Danube River on the most well-appointed ship. Around the bend, a formidable castle comes into view. Its towers pierce through the morning mist. Its majesty intrigues and beckons you to envision scenes within its storied walls. How many kings and queens were crowned there? You wonder. Surrounding it, the charming villages are a sight to behold all on their own. In the winter, these towns boast their famed Christmas Markets bustling with timeless holiday traditions. There are splendid itineraries for every season if you so desire. You sink further into your chair in full relaxation mode as remnants of the stressful days at work leading up to your vacation melt away. You made the right decision. This was the best way to experience as much of Europe as possible in the most stress-free way. You unpack once, yet you visit several countries and cities of Old-World Europe during one voyage. After this experience, you begin to wonder if you could travel any other way. As you savor your last sip of coffee, you sigh with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Because the most pressing concern of the morning is which of the many land excursions to choose.
If you are an avid luxury ocean cruiser or have always been intrigued by the lure of a river cruise, consider the Danube and Rhine Rivers for your maiden voyage. Alas, it will not be your last. As there are many more exquisite rivers not only in Europe, but also in Asia, Africa, and South America.
Private and Semi-Private Tour
In the fading sunlight of your last evening in the Serengeti, you reluctantly pack your bags as your children chatter excitedly about their day. Admittedly, you overpacked for your epic trip. After all, it was your first luxury African family safari. But it will not be your last so you make a mental note for “next time.” You, your husband and two kids were every bit the epitome of tourists at the outset. Excited, nervous, awkward, earnest–you were all of it rolled in one. Perhaps you thought even the zebras were laughing. But your expert private tour guide never laughed at you. On the contrary, he made you feel very much at home and patiently answered all your questions, often repeatedly. Events of your magnificent days in the wild continue to replay in your head like a loop of a movie reel. Words do not give justice to your extraordinary experience. They do not. How do you explain to eager friends and loved ones back home the exhilaration of witnessing a thundering stampede, the whooshing sound of elephant trunks grazing grass, the glassy stare of an attentive lioness guarding her wrestling cubs? How do you articulate the look of wonderment on your children’s faces? The feeling of astonishment upon being in close but safe proximity to so many types of wildlife? As you close the last bag, a sense of satisfaction washes over you. You gaze out into the African savannah, commit the scenery to memory, smile and whisper a prayer of gratitude. Because for you and your excited, nervous, awkward, earnest little family, this journey was in every way transformational.
