About Me

Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence Italy
Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence Italy

A destination offering all the pizza, wine and history you could ever want - welcome to Italy! From the Northern picturesque Venetian islands to the rich history in Rome - Italy truly is a European gem. 

I had the privilege to explore the big three (Venice, Florence, and Rome) in a unique, semi-guided fashion. With Monograms (a branch of the Globus family of brands) we had the service of a local host in each destination. Our host provided a great balance of guided sightseeing tours along with time to explore the destination at leisure. 

We were able to see all of Venice and then some by jumping on a water taxi and exploring the islands of Burano and Murano. Travelling down to Florence, our Local Host provided a full city tour. We then had a day at leisure to head over to the Tuscan countryside for a wine tasting and lunch in the Vineyards. Last but not least, we ventured down to Rome to dive into the fascinating history. 

There are so many different ways to explore Italy. From Semi-guided tours to fully guided tours, etc. I can help to pinpoint exactly what you are wanting to see and tailor a tour to fit those specific needs. Let me help to scratch those must-sees off your to-do list. 

Grazie! Ciao!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Reviewed By Meghan - Indianapolis, IN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We walked into Travel Leaders without an appointment to book a two-week trip to Italy. Amanda was available and ready to help us with a smile! We were not sure exactly what we wanted and had not traveled to Europe before, so she steered us toward a Monograms package for the vacation portion of our trip. We were also attending a wedding in a very rural area of Italy, and Amanda handled booking the hotel, train, and transfers for that portion of our trip as well. It could not have gone more perfectly! Amanda's attention to detail made sure that all aspects of our trip were easy and worry-free. She took care of everything and made sure all our documentation, vouchers, tickets, etc. were in order and easily accessible. She even emailed us while on her OWN vacation to let us know one of our vouchers had changed! She definitely went above and beyond to make sure our trip went off without a hitch. We had an amazing time and will definitely use her for all our travel needs in the future!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing trip to Mexico!
Reviewed By Hannah - Indianapolis, IN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Amanda helped me plan my honeymoon to the DR last year and this year she helped us plan a trip to Cancun. She has been awesome to work with and provided us with so many options in each destination that we were looking at! She scheduled everything for us from flights, to hotels and transportation. Literally all we had to do was show up! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for some help planning their next dream vacation.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
