Explore the Itineraries
Sometimes it's hard to narrow down exactly where you want to go or what type of vacation you're looking for. I've put together a selection of pre-planned, fully customizable itineraries to provide the travel inspiration you need.
These itineraries can be the starting point for a fully-escorted, customized private tour or a customizable self-drive itinerary. Many are also available to purchase as self-book itineraries.
For fully-escorted and customizable self-drive itineraries there are no planning fees for booking the itinerary as detailed. Once you choose your itinerary I work with my partners in each country to make all the reservations on your behalf.
Full itinerary customization is available for both fully-escorted and self-drive itineraries that I book on your behalf. There is a $150 customization fee for these trips.
Self-book itineraries, with a complete day-by-day itinerary and all booking links for accommodations, tours and transportation, are available for purchase and download. No customization services are offered for self-book itinerary purchases, if you'd like a custom itinerary check out my custom itinerary services.
