Women's Group Travel Expert
Group trips are the best way to see the world without being alone. You get to meet new people and make new friendships. You also gather inspiration from one another and make lasting memories. This is exactly the feeling I aimed to create with the group trip, Bellissima - a women's travel group to Italy. From a welcome wine & cheese gathering in Rome to ending the tour with a Farewell Steak Dinner in Florence. Along the way we witnessed the sites of the Vatican, Colosseum, Sistine Chapel, and the statue David!

15th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By R. Snipe - Miami, Florida | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I have finally caught up to reality, and wanted to say "Thank You" for helping us to plan a perfect vacation for our 15th wedding anniversary.
Italy was wonderful! Both hotels were perfect, and the transportation service was excellent.
Though we had one minor off experience with the staff at the tour company, the tours themselves were pleasant and informative. Additionally, the tour guides were funny and engaging.
Again, thank you to Almeda Travel!
