Best Family Reunion"
I reached out to Sandee to organize a 10-day family reunion in northern Italy. There were a total of 19 of us from 8 states across the US. Sandee arranged drivers, tickets to several attractions, personal tour coordinator who traveled with us and a variety of other services. She would respond in a timely manner and did so in a kind and courteous manner. I would not hesitate to use Sandee again and again. Highly recommend her!!!

Italy... you were a dream come true!
We have booked several amazing vacations with Sandee. This last one to Italy certainly tops the list. Every detail was handled from drivers, tours, guides, transports and beautiful hotels. There's no way we could have planned a trip like this on our own. It made it completely stress free to have everything planned in advance with a contact in Italy to make everything completely seamless. The memories from this trip will last a lifetime. We wanted to do something very special since our kids are getting older we wanted to cherish this time together. Thank you Sandee for planning this trip to perfection. We loved every minute!! Bravo!! Italy was magical and the trip was beyond anything we could have imagined.
