How we plan Europe
Europe rewards trips that go deeper in fewer places. We help you choose the right pairing, link cities by train or private driver, and book the hotels, guides and tables in advance, so the planning time is ours and the travel time is yours.

Where to go in 2027
Madeira and Sardinia
If you’re choosing one new place for 2027, we’d look at Madeira or Sardinia. Both are a single overnight flight from the New York area: United flies nonstop from Newark to Funchal on Madeira, and its new Newark to Olbia nonstop to Sardinia starts May 27, 2027. Madeira, Portugal’s island in the Atlantic, stays mild all year, so it works in spring or late fall as well as summer. Sardinia gives you Italy’s sea and food without the mainland’s busiest routes. Tell us which one appeals and when you’d like to go, and we’ll plan the flights, the hotel and the days in between.
When: Madeira works any time of year. Flight schedules are seasonal, so ask us which dates have nonstops.
Working with us
01
Tell us how you like to travel, who is coming, and what you hope to feel. There is no charge to begin.
02
We design the route, hotels, transfers and experiences, then refine them with you, so you skip the hours of research and comparison.
03
We book the flights, stays, cruises and tours and keep track of every confirmation, so all you have to do is enjoy the journey.
Questions
For a trip of 10 to 14 days, we usually suggest two or three bases. Pairings such as Italy and Switzerland, Spain and Portugal, or Croatia and Greece work well because the travel between them is short.
Late spring and early fall bring mild weather and fewer crowds in most of Europe. Summer suits the Nordics, the Alps and the Mediterranean coast, and December brings the Christmas markets of Austria and Switzerland.
U.S. citizens can currently visit most European countries for short trips without a visa, though entry rules are changing as the European Union introduces new travel registration and authorization systems. We will confirm what you need before you travel.
Trains are often the easiest way between major cities in Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland and Austria. For countryside regions such as Tuscany, Provence or the west of Ireland, we can arrange a private driver or a rental car with a planned route.
Yes. We plan river and ocean cruises in Europe and can add hotel stays before and after the sailing.
