I recently just spent 4 days at Walt Disney World. This is my first time using a travel agent for Disney and I cannot speak more highly of Chelsea. She responded to me within minutes of wanting to book the trip and had 6 different offers for me to choose from and made sure we had the best deal! She linked the reservation for me and offered to help book my food reservations for me. This was a last minute trip and she even made sure I would still be able to get the magic bands. She did all of this for us within one day. She checked in with me leading up to the trip and almost everyday we were there! I already have three other trips she is planning for us and will never plan a trip without her ever again!! đđ -Nichole Cambrige

Paris, often referred to as the City of Light, has captured the hearts and imaginations of travelers for centuries. With its iconic landmarks, charming streets, rich history, and delectable cuisine, planning the perfect itinerary can seem like a daunting task. Fear not, for I have curated a comprehensive guide to help you make the most of your time in this enchanting city.
Day 1: Embrace the Icons
Start your Parisian adventure with a visit to the world-famous symbol of love and romance, the Eiffel Tower. Beat the crowds by arriving early and ascend to the top for panoramic views of the city. After taking in the breathtaking sights, stroll through the adjacent Champ de Mars park for a leisurely picnic breakfast.
For lunch, indulge in authentic French cuisine at one of the charming bistros lining the cobblestone streets of the Latin Quarter. Afterward, wander through the bustling neighborhood, stopping to browse the book stalls along the Seine River.
In the afternoon, immerse yourself in art and culture at the Louvre Museum. Home to thousands of works spanning centuries, from the Mona Lisa to the Venus de Milo, the Louvre is a treasure trove of artistic masterpieces.
For lunch, indulge in a gourmet picnic at the Jardin des Tuileries, a serene oasis nestled between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde. Relax by the fountains and enjoy a feast of fresh baguettes, cheese, and wine.
As night falls, experience the magic of Paris illuminated by lights on a Seine River cruise. Glide past iconic landmarks such as the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower, all aglow against the night sky. Conclude your evening with a romantic dinner at a riverside restaurant, savoring the flavors of French cuisine amidst enchanting views.
Day 3: Indulge in Gastronomic Delights
Spend your final day in Paris indulging in the city's culinary delights. Start your morning with a visit to a local bakery for freshly baked croissants and pastries, a quintessential Parisian breakfast.
In the afternoon, savor a leisurely lunch at a traditional Parisian bistro, where you can enjoy classic dishes such as coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, or steak frites.
Conclude your gastronomic journey with a sunset champagne cruise along the Seine River. Toast to your unforgettable adventures in Paris as you sail past the city's illuminated landmarks one final time.
As you bid adieu to the City of Light, take with you memories of timeless beauty, cultural richness, and culinary delights that will linger long after your departure. Paris, with its unparalleled charm and allure, will forever hold a special place in your heart. Au revoir, Paris, until we meet again.

You can explore and experience the Venice Canals on a quintessential gondola ride. Your trained gondolier can share history and secrets of the city as they paddle through the Grand Canal.
Pop quiz: What is one of the most romantic things you can experience in Italy? Answer: A sunset gondola ride through Venice.
Roman Colosseum
Step back in time to 80AD when you visit the largest amphitheater ever built with space to hold 50,000 spectators. As you stand in its center, let your imag- ination run wild as you try to picture the gladiator fights.
Did you know that in ancient days, the Roman Colosseum was sometimes flooded for boat battles? No wonder this is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
Sunset in Tuscany
Did you know that there are more than 25 movies set in the Tuscany region? Movie directors love to use the Tuscan landscape as their backdrop com- bined with the beauty of its capital city of Florence.
Tuscany is home to many great wine vineyards. Its most famous is Chianti, the âheart of Tuscany,â where the namesake red wine is made.
Sunset in Venice Canal
Did you know that at least 60% of all traffic in Venice moves through the Grand Canal?
While most canals in Venice are fairly shallow at just a few feet, the Grand Canal is about sixteen feet deep and is up to three hundred feet wide in some areas as it winds in an S-shaped pattern.
Trevi Fountain, Rome
The iconic Trevi fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome at a whop- ping 85 feet high and 65 feet wide. The most notable feature is of its god and triton statues designed to âtame the watersâ as the fountain is the final point in the Aqua Virgo aqueduct system.
2.Grab a coin and make a wish! Take part in the tradition of throwing three coins from your right hand over your left shoulder. Legend says that one coin means you will return to the âEternal Cityâ of Rome, two coins means you will return and fall in love, three coins means you will return, fall in love and marry.
Italy - Top 10 Places to Visit in Italy
In addition to being one of the easiest countries to find on a map, Italy is rich in history and culture. The land was first inhabited by Etruscans before others like Celts, Phoenicians, and Greeks. One of the more notable ancient times was that of the Roman Empire which was founded in 753BC. It lasted hundreds of years until its fall in the Middle Ages. This Roman Empire has had a lasting effect on the country of Italy including religion, art, culture, language, philosophy and government.
So, how do you decide where to spend your time in Italy if there is so much rich culture and so many wonderful cities? Consider this brief overview as a quick introduction to the more notable places and their features that are popular for first-time visitors.
Rome - This capital of Italy is one of the oldest cities in the world and a favorite among Italy lovers. It is known as the âCity of Seven Hillsâ because of its geography as well as the âEternal Cityâ with its connection to the Catholic Church. In addition to standing in the Roman Colosseum, be sure to include a visit to Vatican City where you can see St. Peterâs Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Take a stroll through the different piazzas (town squares) and see its famous statues and fountains. Trevi Fountain is a must-see as it is one of the most famous fountains in the world and one of the largest Baroque fountains in Rome.
Venice - Most people think of Venice when they think about the romance of Italy. This city is built around a series of canals that connects 118 islands and more than 400 bridges. The Grand Canal is the most famous with its S-shape that splits the city into two parts. Take a gondola ride through the canal and under the famous Ponte di Rialto bridge. Enjoy the ringing of the St. Markâs Campanile from St. Markâs Basilica and visit the beautifully ornate Doges Palace.
Florence - This capital city of the Tuscany region is often considered the birthplace of the Renaissance. The skylineâs most notable features of this city are the Duomo, the domed cathedral of Santa Maria del Flore, and the Palazzo Vecchio, the town hall. The town hall overlooks Piazza della Signoria which houses a replica of Michelangeloâs David statue. The original David statue can be viewed in the Galleria dellâAccademia di Firenze. Art lovers should be sure to also visit the Uffizi Gallery.
Milan - This city is known mostly for its influence on the worldâs art and fashion and hosts the famed Milan Fashion Week yearly. While in town for fashion, be sure to see some of Leonardo da Vinciâs best works like The Last Supper and take in an opera at La Scala Opera House.
Tuscany - Donât limit your experience in the Tuscany region to only Florence. First-time visitors will want to see the Tower of Pisa that is in this region as well as enjoy all that the countryside has to offer. This region is also known for its classic Italian wine, Chianti, its medieval architecture of San Gimignano, the oldest bank in the world in Siena, and the great Spa Towns of Europe.
Naples - This cityâs historic center is the largest of its kind in Europe and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has much to offer from natural beauty to unbelievable ruins. Enjoy the city full of historic castles like Castel dellâOvo, the Egg Castle, and Castle Nuovo. Be sure to also make time to visit the Royal Palace of Caserta during the spring to see its gardens and parks in full bloom. This area is also known for its ancient cities of Pompei and Herculaneum. These ruins were preserved in volcanic ash from the Mount Vesuvius eruptions of 79AD until excavation.
Amalfi Coast - This luxurious area is made up of 13 coastal towns that are picturesque and much of what people imagine when thinking of the Italian Coast. This coastal area is known most for the towns of Positano and Amalfi. Positano is a town made up of pastel buildings, resorts and restaurants built into the cliffside. Amalfi is a historic maritime republic. Enjoy a hike along the Path of the Gods and treat yourself to limoncello which is produced in this region.
Capri - The Isle of Capri, in the Bay of Naples, is one of the more famous Italian islands known for its laid-back but luxurious charm that draws royalty and celebrities alike. You can stay on the island for holiday or take a ferry for a day trip. A visit to the Blue Grotto natural sea cave is a must as it is the most notable site on the island. In the cities of Capri or Anacapri, to enjoy shopping and dining.
Sicily - This triangle-shaped island is Italyâs largest island and one of its 20 Italian regions. A visit to Sicily gives you a tropical island with mixed with sandy beaches, green hills and ancient ruins all in one topped off by some of the best seafood and pastries in the world.
Puglia - Though it has long been a favorite spot to vacation for locals, the lesser-known region of Puglia is beginning to grow in popularity for tourists and some are evening calling it âLittle Florence.â This area, located in the heel of the boot, is a more slow-paced and quiet retreat. Many of the small towns that are peppered with boutique hotels allow for visitors to wander the streets easily and engage with locals alike. There are some great architectural things to see like the trulli houses that have cone roofs in Itria and the white city of Ostuni. And Lecce is where you can see the Basilica di Santa Croce and the SantâOronzo column.
Each place mentioned is somewhere that can fill your vacation, short or long. As a first-time visitor, you may want to focus only on one or two popular places like Rome or Venice. There are also some great guided tours that are the âbest ofâ in each major area so you get a nice taste to learn what you like best for your next visit. No matter where you choose as your first stop in Italy, you wonât be disappointed in the sights, the culture, the food or the memories.
