We hate to admit it, but Expedia and Costco still wins sometimes. 🤦‍♀️

It’s true! People often go there first, thinking it’s quick and easy—until they actually need help.

Here’s the deal—with 6+ years in the industry and 750+ trips planned, we’ve built real connections with hotel staff, in-destination partners, and local experts. So, when things go sideways (like your flight gets canceled or your hotel isn't up to par), guess what? You won’t be stuck on hold for HOURS. 😅

Take, for example, some clients we had in Bora Bora recently. A couple of days before arrival, they found out their bungalow would be under renovation during their scheduled stay. But, thanks to our relationship with the hotel and in-destination partner, we immediately got them into a similar bungalow with incredible views, $500 resort credit, AND a complimentary dinner.

With Expedia or Costco? You’re more likely to be left in the lurch. They don’t have a personal connection, and good luck getting anyone on the phone to actually solve your problem.

Sure, booking with Expedia or Costco might seem easier or cheaper at first, but when things go wrong, wouldn’t you rather have an expert you can text for help?

Let’s just say... we’ve got your back. Always. 😉

What does it 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 cost to travel to Italy? Let’s break it down.

You’re dreaming of sipping wine in Tuscany, exploring Rome’s ancient streets, and sailing through Venice in a gondola. But let’s get real—what does it 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 cost to do it right?

Here’s the breakdown...

→ €1,400+ per couple per day in high season (May-Oct) covers 4-star hotels (maybe one 5-star splurge), private transfers, first-class trains, and curated experiences—think cooking classes, wine tastings, and VIP tours.

→ Most couples stay 10-14 days, which puts the recommended total around 14K-20K+ for two adults.

Could you spend less? Sure. But would it be the seamless, stress-free, once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip you’re picturing? Probably not.

Want to be strategic with your money? Travel in shoulder season. We went in early November—same stunning Italy, but fewer crowds and better prices.

Now, the real question: When are you going?
