Melanie asked what type of trip experience we wanted in Italy --see everything in 2 weeks or spend time only in Tuscany at a slower pace. We chose option 2. Next, Melanie found hotels and train itineraries that met our chosen pace. We did a food walking tour in Siena and, in Cortona, had a private driver for an all-day wine tour (6 of us) to 3 wineries. I recommend the investment in these activities since the tour guides were excellent and we did not have to figure out how to read the road signs in Italian as we whizzed past them!! Lastly, we had a problem in Milan when the driver left us stranded. I called Melanie and she fixed the mishap on the spot. A driver showed up about 45 minutes later and we were on our way again. Great trip. When we are ready for the next adventure, Melanie will get a call. Lisa H.

Melanie makes traveling to distant places so easy. She does her research and knows all of the best places to go and the best things to do there. She is exceptionally organized and takes all the stress out of travel. I went on a yoga retreat with Melanie where we did yoga and hiking and had a plenty of beach time. She is the best yoga teacher I have ever had. An amazing trip all around!
