Quick highlight of this custom Greece Itinerary! 🗺️

September & October is my favorite time to visit Greece and I noticed the Lindys had incredible weather on their trip as well! ☀️

✈️ Starting the trip off in Mykonos with Panoramic Sea View accommodation near Little Venice which is the hotspot for nightlife, boutiques and cafes.

👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏽 Private Tour of Mykonos with a local.

🚢 Ferry Ride to Santorini with private transportation with port arrival assistance.

🗺️ Accommodation in Imerovigli that captures all that Santorini has to offer with a more secluded vibe but close enough to Oia to join in on the tourism and action.

🛥️ Semi-Private Sunset Cruise

🚁 Last night in Athens at one of our most sought after hotels with a view of the Acropolis and situated on the most famous shopping street in the city. And lastly, ending the trip with a small group guided tour of Athens city.

A BIG thank you to the Lindys for being such loyal clients and trusting me with their vacations! 👏🏼

Anniversary trip in Greece for the Lindys! 🇬🇷
First stop: Mykonos 🗺️🦋

We believe in going far. In the case of Virtuoso, The Magazine’s September cover, that amounted to about 16,000 miles round-trip for design director Melanie Fowler and art director Korena Bolding, who traveled to Bhutan for a photo shoot at the Six Senses in Thimphu. (Worth it.) Elsewhere in the issue, we visit Africa in search of safaris that fit every travel style and go leaf-peeping in Colorado’s San Juan mountains.

It’s been a little over a year since I’ve posted about our service fee requirement so I wanted to bring this topic back to light due to some recent misunderstanding.

Please understand we require a service fee for any service that we provide to you. This amount is dependent on what all your vacation entails, if is a detailed, custom itinerary it will be around $350 for your service fee depending on your trips overall cost.

If you request services from us, and we provide a service to you and you then decide not to book your vacation, you will still be required to pay your service fee. Understand that what we do is not only “research information.” We work very closely to our preferred suppliers to bring the best rates and expertise to you which takes several days and lots of detailed planning.

I have recently been slacking on sending pre-trip contracts due to such a high demand in travel and such a quick turn-around from request day to booking day but unfortunately, I will now have to start this requirement again.

As always, thank you to my clients for keeping me busy! I appreciate y’all so much!
