This trip is perfect for open-minded travel lovers looking to make genuine connections and partake in amazing experiences! This trip is great for first-time travelers or those looking to dive deeper into Italy's rich culture. Our goal is to organize a trip filled with positive and easy-going girls who are up for anything and who love learning about new cultures, history and local cuisine.

Unlike many other group trips, we want our group sizes to feel comfortable and intimate. We don’t want you leaving the group trip not being able to remember everyone’s name! We want to create an environment where everyone is able to get to know each other and make friends for life.

who's this trip for?

unique trip considerations

  • Be up for train rides! The best way to travel through Italy is via train and we will be visiting each major city on the high speed railroad. Those with motion sickness please come prepared. 
  • Entry into churches and religious establishments requires a dress code. No shoulders or knees are allowed to show and you will need to bring a shawl or proper attire for entry.
  • We will be doing a lot of walking throughout the cities to visit popular spots and explore! The cities of Italy are mostly walkable or accessible via public transport or ride share.
  • We are visiting three cities in Italy and ideally your flights will arrive in Rome and depart in Venice. If this is not possible, we can help you source train tickets to get back to your airport of choice in Italy.


Hi travel family, I’ve been an event planner for 14 years & trip planner for 10 years. I love planning trips & itineraries for family, friends, and clients to help them enjoy once in a lifetime vacations. I’ve been to 56 countries so far and my big travel goal is to complete the new 7 wonders of the world.

I’ve been a travel addict ever since I was a little girl, when my mom first took me to visit her country, the Philippines. I love traveling because it allows me to make new friends, create new memories, and learn about the world. I can’t wait to explore the world with you!

Some favorites of Marilee's: the color blue, the fall season, Greece, Brooklyn 99
 - and her number one bucket list destination is Egypt!
