Experienced Living in Italy

I lived and worked in Italy for over 6 years as a tour manager. To say I know Italy very well is true. My favorite place was always Florence with its Renaissance period and the history of Michelangelo, DaVinci, and all the artists from that period. Traveling weekly throughout all of Italy for 7 months each year gave me a great appreciation for all of its beauty and just how special each region really is. I am happy to share that knowledge with you when planning your trip to Italy.

Highly recommend Karyn
I have worked with Karyn Maviano for the last few years. She has been instrumental in helping to start our Travel Club. She is very knowledgeable about travel and wonderful at setting up both individual and group trips. She is great with the entire trip process including planning, booking and updates. She knows how to get the best value and the best places and times to go.
Karyn is easy to work with and very responsive. She is always very professional and available. She offers great information and is open and honest. Her trip presentations are fabulous! She really knows what she is talking about. She also gives tips and guidance as to what to bring, what to see, etc.
Booking through Karyn has been very easy and has made our lives so much easier. I have nothing bad to say! Our trips have been a huge success. I highly recommend Karyn.
