CUSTOM TRAVEL DESIGN

With our personal connections to over 500 of the best local experts throughout Italy, there is truly no travel request that we cannot create a trip for.

As we often say, "You can throw a dart anywhere on the map of Italy - we have someone waiting to make your travel dreams come true there."

Thank you!
we'll be in touch soon! 

custom travel design is right for you if: 

You have already reviewed our Select Porfolio Collection itineraries and do not see most of your desired destinations among them.

1) have completely read the itinerary overview for the trip(s) you are interested in

2) are comfortable with the per person price listed 

and

3) understand that our trips are entirely private (no big buses or groups of strangers)

Your trip requires very complicated logistics, a large portion of time in hard to reach villages,  tracing your Italian ancestry, or extends more than three weeks. 

Your budget will comfortably allow at least $4,500 per person, per week for each traveler in your party.

Please keep in mind that any and all of our currently offered itineraries can be both customized to your tastes and combined with portions of other itineraries.

No part of Italy is off limits to us and we can - and have - designed for trips of several months with great success.  Rest assured, your dream trip is possible.

Not including airfare or gratuities; everything else in our comprehensive "touch down to take off" approach is included.

If you are booking your own hotels or other accommodation, please let us know so we can reevaluate the weekly budget allowance.

[1] LET'S CHAT ITALY 

All custom itinerary design begins with a complimentary 15 minute chat to better understand your travel needs and preferences.

If we determine that our services are a good match for your requests, we will send you our free Initial Planner as an official invitation to move forward.

We take our time and carefully go through every single detail - and question! - you’ve submitted.

We’ll follow up with you if we need any clarification or additional details so we can ensure our services are the perfect match for your needs.

Best part: there is no cost for this review!

[2] SHARE YOUR DREAMS WITH US

Curating & collaborating every step of the way 

Getting to know you...

Understanding your dream trip...

Next up, we begin to draft your one-of-a kind itinerary, based on all of the information and feedback we've gathered from you thus far.

 This overview serves as your first look at your upcoming trip. All that's required to begin this stage is a small $500.00 per person deposit.

Again, that's not a separate fee - the full amount is applied against the total trip cost.

[4] relax while we design just for you

Exchanging expertise & ideas...

Love the sound of This!

[3] discover all the possibilities

In this dual discovery session, we share all of our ideas for your itinerary.  Essentially, our first draft of bringing your wishlist to life.

We highly encourage your feedback and carefully consider every single detail as we move forward with a full official draft.
    
This exciting session lasts 60 minutes. The cost is $280.00 and acts as your first deposit (that means it's applied in full against the final balance of the trip - not a separate fee!)

Crafting your dreams, day by day...

[5] REVIEW YOUR DREAM COME TRUE

Before you know it,  a gorgeous, easy to navigate itinerary arrives in your inbox.

Your second hour length call with an expert is scheduled at your convenience to review this itinerary in as much detail as you desire.

Once again, your feedback is welcome as are any requests for modification.

Your next payment on the trip tells us that it's time to finalize these amazing plans!

I'm ready!

Exchanging expertise & ideas...

A simple electronic signature is all that is needed to accept and finalize your part of this incredible custom itinerary design process.

And while you know that there's so much to do to ensure your travel experience is perfectly seamless, effortlessly enjoyable, and utterly unforgettable...

You can rest assured that none of that now rests on your shoulders.

We will handle each and every aspect for you: bookings, all reservations, all pre-paid payments, & the list goes on!

[7] ACCESS OUR EXPERTISE AS YOU NEED

Once payment has been made in full, you will receive access to our extensive Resource Library.

This incredible collection of articles written by our founder and leading Italian travel expert, Liana Campanella, covers everything from currency exchange to cultural norms to packing tips.

It is available exclusively to our custom planning clients and serves to prepare even the savviest of travelers!

Prior to departure, we welcome you to schedule a fourth 60 minute call to review any last minute questions you may have about anything at all: part of your itinerary or the broader scope of your overall travels.

You are not required to schedule this call, but we certainly want to offer everything we can to ensure you are comfortable, confident, and most of all, truly excited to begin your trip of a lifetime!

And what about that third, full hour of time we've built in for you?

Schedule it as you need it, if you need it.

Many of our clients don't - simply because they feel so well prepared along the way with all of our personalized attention and resources.

Still, it's there if you need it and can be applied via e-mails or phone calls to discuss anything you have questions about once the itinerary has been accepted.

Offering unheard of access to true Italian travel specialists...

Let's get started!
