Susan's Great Escapes

Susan's Great Escapes Travel Advisor with Upon a Star Travel & Concierge. Helping you travel to world-wide destinations! Travel is my full-time job!

After 25 years as a military spouse, I now live in Virginia with my family. Since 2013, I have been helping clients plan all kinds of vacations: Disney destinations, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Universal Studios, guided tours, and travel all over the world! My goal is to create a concierge experience for my clients that meets their individual requests, budgets, and vacation style. Each person

and family's travel goals are unique and their travel experiences should be, too! This is not a hobby or a side-gig for me. I love building long-standing relationships with my clients working with them repeatedly over the years, watching their families grow and change. I've traveled to 30 countries, cruised more than 20 times on a variety of cruise lines, visited many all-inclusive resorts, and racked up thousands in airline miles! I want to share my knowledge and experience with my clients by providing excellent customer service, detailed itineraries, and creating the best vacation experience possible.

Rome in 48 hours? Absolutely!

I mean, you could literally spend days and days exploring this city, eating the food, taking a cooking class, etc, but sometimes you have two days pre-cruise or just a few days to hit the highlights, and that's ok, too!

What can you do in 48 hours?

Tour the Colosseum, take a golf cart tour, and an evening food/wine tour! The next day do a Vatican tour, see Borghese Gardens (or maybe the Pantheon if that's more your style), and one final evening tours of the Eternal City!

Especially in the off-season, Rome can be accomplished well with some good planning!

Does this sound perfect? Ask me how to book all these! [email protected]
