About Me

Lake Garda, Italy
Lake Garda, Italy

My Italian heritage, cherished and nurtured by my grandmother, has always been a profound part of who I am. It’s this deep connection to Italy’s rich history and vibrant culture that drives my passion for crafting extraordinary itineraries throughout this stunning country. Whether you dream of exploring the iconic landmarks of Rome and Florence or desire a journey off the beaten path to places like Bari or Catania—perhaps to experience a traditional Saint’s festival or reconnect with family roots—Italy offers an unparalleled blend of history, culture, and breathtaking beauty. My goal is to create personalized journeys that allow you to fully immerse yourself in all that Italy has to offer.

A very good trip with no problems
Reviewed By Elaine and Joel - Bedford, MA | Traveled to Croatia ~ Europe
Darby was quite responsive. Since we were taking a tour run by Odysseys-Unlimited, all materials went from them to Darby who then quickly forwarded the materials to us. She helped with the air arrangements (although we had done the research before talking with her).

The trip we took was very good and we would recommend Odysseys-Unlimited to others. Similarly, we would recommend using Darby.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Dreams Realized
Reviewed By Lori Lou - Mansfield, MA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
My husband and I experienced our ideal vacation. Darby listened carefully to our wishes and tailored our travel accordingly. She was willing to research some unusual tours and make those a reality. The result was a fun, well planned and organized trip, Every detail was covered and all of our transfers, rides, hotels, tours and other logistics fell into place beautifully. It was a pleasure to enjoy our travels through Italy without any worry or stress. We communicated with her a few times when away and found her just as responsive as she had been from our initial contact.

Fantastic getaway for two!
Reviewed By Jane G - Plainville, MA | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Darby did a fantastic job incorporating my husband's work trip requirements with a few extra days of vacation just for us. Although we started out with flight cancelations due to weather and re-booking chaos at the airport, Darby was immediately available and was able to work her magic and get us to Lisbon on another airline - and only 7 hours later than originally scheduled. The rest of the trip was seamless. The two half-day Tours by Locals for wine tasting and daytrip to Sintra were exactly what we wanted them to be which is the beauty of a private guide. Darby even found a cooking class for us that was one of the trip highlights. The resort she found for us was perfectly located and lovely in all aspects. We wished we had more time at the resort to just relax, but there were too many places we wanted to see before leaving - the rental car worked out great as well! We would love to go back for more touring and relaxing/golf. Needless to say, we would enlist Darby's services again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Long awaited trip to Italy and Northern Ireland
Darby’s Destinations did a great job pulling together a trip that was two and half years delayed due to the pandemic. Darby pulled together a personalized trip of Italy and Ireland that exceeded expectations. We experienced a Game of Throne tour that we will never forget. She made sure all the little details and logistics were taken care of and all we had to do was have fun. Well done!

Memorable Trip to Maui
Thanks so much for reaching out! We had the most amazing and memorable trip to Maui. Thank you for all your help getting our accommodations, flights, and rental car arranged for this trip, we had the best time. The Four Seasons was just as dreamy as we had hoped and everything from the food to the service, the spa to the room exceeded expectations, and we can’t wait to go back again in the future. All of the food we had on the trip was incredible, but both of us feel the meal that stands apart from the rest was Mama’s Fish House. If you have clients traveling to Maui in the future, we highly recommend trying to get a reservation here as early as possible. We used your recommended app, the “Shaka Guide” for the self-guided Road to Hana tour and we would also recommend that to anyone doing the Road to Hana. It worked absolutely perfectly, helped us know exactly the best places to stop, and gave us just the right amount of history on Hawaii and the island. Thanks, Darby!

Anniversary Adventure to Portugal
Our anniversary trip to Portugal surpassed all expectations and truly was the trip of a lifetime! Although we didn’t know specifically what we were looking for or where to visit, Darby made the planning process completely stress-free and prepared an itinerary that was perfectly matched to our interests. Furthermore, it was expertly executed and all we had to do was show up and enjoy as we were whisked away on private tours and to our hotels. Between transportation, hotels, and tours, we felt well cared for throughout our trip and everyone that we encountered was professional, welcoming and kind. We enjoyed every minute and are absolutely looking forward to working with Darby for our next vacation!
