RIVER CRUISES WORTH BOOKING

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.

TUSCANY WITHOUT CROWDS

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.

CHASING NEW ZEALAND

Some places just stay with you. For me, New Zealand is that place. I had a quick taste during three days in Queenstown. But honestly, it wasn’t enough. That short trip lit a fire for more. Now, whenever clients mention a “Chasing New Zealand” adventure, I get excited. This is where scenery and adrenaline collide in the best way. Think epic drives, dramatic peaks, and wild, wide-open spaces. But here’s what most people don’t realize—planning for New Zealand takes time. The best trips here aren’t rushed. They’re carefully built, layer by layer, for unforgettable moments.

It felt like connecting with something ancient. Something essential. And if you’ve ever dreamed of being close to nature in style, now’s the time to lean in. Because a luxury safari doesn’t just happen—it’s crafted. And the best ones? They’re planned at least a year ahead.
