You’re ready to plan a trip to Italy, but whether its is your first or 14th, you’re not just looking for a plane ticket and hotel reservations, you want the advice, access and information to experience the Italian journey of your dreams. You want to visit the REAL Italy that has inspired, moved and transformed travelers for generations. Do you ever wish you had a trusted friend to turn to for help? One who

• has stayed in the hotels she recommends, knows the owners of the restaurants you will be eating in and can arrange for incredible dream experiences from art lessons to private museum visits, truffle hunting to cooking classes, shopping tours to chartering sail boats.
• can make your dream trip come a reality whether your budget is $300 or $3,000 per day.

For nearly 10 years now, those seeking unique, timely and exclusive information on travel to Italy have turned to Dream of Italy, The Insider’s Guide toUndiscovered Italy. During that time, I have fielded hundreds of phone calls from readers asking for assistance in planning trips incorporating our special finds. That’s why I have introducing The Italian Dream Concierge, a travel planning service devoted to bringing you the same authentic and insider Italy that Dream of Italy presents in its pages. Through the services of The Italian Dream Concierge, you can benefit directly from my extensive knowledge, years of personal travel experience and network of colleagues and insider contacts throughout Italy. Services include basic travel consulting and day-by-day itinerary planning.

My unique perspective as a writer and Italian travel expert allows me to approach travel planning from the “experience” of travel rather than the “business” of travel. (You can take our itinerary to your own travel agent or seamlessly book through one of our partner agents for no extra charge.) When media outlets such as ABC News, Travel Channel Radio, USA TODAY and U.S. News & World Report need the inside scoop on travel to Italy, they come to me. I hope you will too! I look forward to making your dreams of Italy a wonderful reality through the personal service of the The Italian Dream Concierge.

P.S. - Once you purchase your consultation package, you will receive The Italian Dream Questionnaire, a unique tool I have developed to get to know you and your travel needs and to create a vision for your trip. This allows me to be familiar with your likes, dislikes, goals, desires, special needs, desired pacing and budget before we talk. We can then use our phone consultation to dive right into the details.
