I’ve attended two of Linda’s trips now and they were both truly remarkable experiences! They offered a perfect balance of culture, history, sightseeing and amazing food. We enjoyed multiple wine tastings, a lively catamaran cruise along the coast of Tuscany, an adventurous Vespa excursion, and my favorite…a bike tour on the walls of Lucca. Linda is fun, knowledgeable and organized. Both of the journeys were life-changing for me and I am immensely grateful to Linda for her dedication and the wonderful experience she created for me and the other guests.

When I joined Linda on her retreat in Tuscany, it had been on my bucket list for many decades. The program that Linda put together surpassed all my expectations. She has an eye for detail and provided our group with everything we could have imagined and more! The amazing people I met on the retreat have all become my new friends. I am looking forward to joining Linda for more fun adventures in the future. I am grateful I said yes and highly recommend you do too. I'm still smiling because it was the trip of a lifetime! 😊
