Amazing Trip
Macie helped us plan an awesome trip to Rome and Florence this past summer. She is really familiar with Rome and gave us some amazing suggestions for restaurants and non-touristy things to do. I would recommend her to anyone looking to travel to Italy.

A vacation I will never forget!
Macie, Hi! Huge thank you for planning and organizing an amazing 3 week vacation in Italy! I was overwhelmed by the thought of planning 3 weeks throughout Italy but Macie took the stress away and created a wonderful itinerary. She booked all accommodations ensuring the best locations while providing an extensive list of restaurant recommendations for a taste of local cuisines. Extremely professional and knowledgeable Macie listened to my interests and put together a list of museums and excursions I would enjoy. From making fresh pasta on a Tuscan vineyard to boating around the Amalfi coast with a local family as our tour guide, all expectations were exceeded! A vacation I will never forget!
