Peru Travel Agent Expert

Peru - Rainbow Mountains, September 2024

Peru is a land of legends, ancient wonders, and breathtaking natural beauty—a destination that promises awe and adventure.

Begin in Lima, a city alive with vibrant neighborhoods, world-renowned cuisine, and rich colonial history. From the cosmopolitan pulse of Lima, journey to Cuzco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire, where ancient ruins intermingle with colorful markets and cobbled streets.

Next, enter the Sacred Valley, a lush region of terraced mountains and rushing rivers that once fed and sustained the Inca civilization. Here, you’ll explore sacred sites, visit local artisans, and immerse yourself in Peru’s timeless traditions. Finally, stand in awe of Machu Picchu, the lost city nestled high in the Andes, where stone temples rise above the clouds. This is a place that will leave you speechless, where every path and summit tells a story of Peru's enduring spirit.

As a designer of bespoke travel, I’ll tailor each detail of your Peruvian journey—whether you’re seeking spiritual connection, historical insight, or exhilarating adventure—ensuring that your time in this magnificent country is as unforgettable as the Andes themselves.

An Insider's Italy

Melinda knowledge of Italy and Italian culture help us to customize a vacation that was precisely what we were looking for—hidden gems and authentic Italian culture. She recommended local restaurants and shops we’d never have found on our own and even organized a cooking class with a chef in Florence. New to international travel, we were nervous but, true to her word, any questions that popped up while we were traveling, she answered, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders so that we could relax and enjoy our time. I can't wait to go back and explore a different part of the country!

A Bibliophile's Dream

We had worked with Melinda before on a trip to the Amalfi Coast, so when we decided to tour England with a classic literature focus, she was our go-to. We knew she could customize vacation packages, but we had no idea just how deeply tailored and thoughtfully curated this trip would be. From London to Oxford, Bath, and Haworth, every stop was meticulously planned—not just the literary landmarks, but even the swanky restaurants and boutique hotels she knew we’d love. She balanced structure with flexibility, making it feel like our own perfect journey through English literature. If you're thinking about booking a trip with her, ask about Dante's Lit Tour—my tour, not the Dante ??. You won't regret it!

Stress-Free Luxury Travel? Yes please!

I usually dread the stress of planning a big trip, which is why, when someone told me I should call Melinda to help I thought, why not. I'm glad I did because she made it so easy. She listened to what we wanted, suggested unique experiences, and took care of all the logistics. it was hands-down the best, most relaxing vacation we've had in a long time.
