European Travel Specialist

“People don’t take trips—trips take people.” - John Steinbeck.

Europe is a fountain of art, culture, cuisine, wine, music, and history. View Paris from the Eiffel Tower, visit Buckingham Palace, bike through Amsterdam, participate in the wine harvest, explore the Vatican Museums in Rome, and surf some of the largest waves in the world off the coast of Portugal.

I can help you plan a trip of a lifetime focused on your particular interests. River cruises are a great way to explore Europe as well as guided tours. Together we can put together an unique itinerary for your vacation if you prefer. 

From our first trip to Europe, my wife and I were "taken" and as a European Specialist, I am passionate about helping others explore the breadth of the continent. Interested in traveling to one of the destinations below? I work closely with suppliers in all of these countries to fulfill your every need. Call me today to get started!
