Let’s talk about river cruises worth booking—because these aren’t your average European vacations. More and more Fort Collins travelers are trading in the chaos of land tours and big ships for the charm of intimate river cruising. Think floating boutique hotel, wine-soaked villages, and waking up to cathedral views without lifting your suitcase. From the Danube to the Rhône, I’ve handpicked the best itineraries for clients who want culture, cuisine, and comfort wrapped into one seamless journey. And yes, I’ll make sure every detail is handled—flights, extensions, cabin upgrades, even the champagne on arrival.

TRUSTED TRAVEL EXPERTISE

I’ve had clients ask me, “Why use a travel advisor these days?” My answer? Because the internet doesn’t care if your hotel is next to a construction site. Fort Collins travelers turn to me for curated, stress-free travel designed around their unique preferences. I don’t just book flights—I craft unforgettable experiences. I know which river cruises are truly luxurious, which safari lodges are worth the splurge, and which Tuscan villas feel like a dream. It’s not about more options—it’s about the right ones.

TUSCANY WITHOUT CROWDS

Pitigliano Italy

I thought I knew Tuscany. I’d seen the postcard views, sipped wine in Chianti, wandered Florence’s grand piazzas. But then I discovered something quieter. More haunting. More human. “Tuscany Without Crowds” was the phrase that popped into my head the moment I arrived in Pitigliano. Carved from volcanic stone and standing proud above the hills, this medieval village feels untouched by time. There were no lines. No tour buses. Just me, a sunset, and the scent of wood-fired bread curling through the alleyways. If you’ve been to Italy and think you’ve seen it all — you haven’t. Not until you’ve stood here.

There’s something magical about dreaming of Japan. Every time someone mentions cherry blossoms or anime, I light up. It’s a destination that feels both timeless and futuristic. And for a true bucket list trip, it checks every box. “Dreaming of Japan” becomes more than a wish—it becomes a plan. That plan starts with knowing when and where to go. Because if you time it right, Japan opens its heart. You’ll stroll under pink petals like confetti from the sky. And turn a corner into neon-lit Tokyo, buzzing with energy. Planning for spring of 2026 gives you the perfect runway. This is a journey that deserves space to unfold slowly. It’s not just a vacation—it’s a cultural immersion. So let’s walk through what makes it unforgettable. From blossoms to bento boxes, here’s what to expect.
