Why You Should Consider Guided Group Tours for Your First Trip to Europe
Europe is a dream destination for many, but for first-time visitors, the idea of navigating the logistics can be daunting and overwhelming. Guided group tours — a game-changer for those that are overwhelmed about visiting Europe for the first time.
Here’s why these tours are not just a convenience but a brilliant way to maximize your European adventure:
1. Effortless PlanningWith your favorite travel advisor planning all the details of the trip before departure (that's me!) and a tour guide in your destinations - you get to focus on ENJOYING the experience rather than fretting about the logistics in Europe.
2. Expert Knowledge at Your FingertipsImagine a local expert by your side for your entire trip, someone who knows the ins and outs of European history, culture, and attractions. Your guide will offer insights and stories that you would have never experienced if you traveled independently,
3. Stress-Free NavigationEurope's public transportation system can be both impressive and overwhelming. From intricate metro systems to connecting trains across countries, the logistics can be tricky. Guided tours streamline this process by handling all transportation, ensuring smooth transfers between destinations. This eliminates the hassle of figuring out schedules, ticketing, and navigating unfamiliar systems.
4. Cultural Immersion and SecurityTraveling in a group of like minded travelers provides a sense of security, especially in unfamiliar places. Having a local guide leading the way, you will be able to explore new cities with confidence.
5. Social ConnectionsOne of the hidden gems of group tours is the chance to meet fellow travelers. Sharing experiences with others instantly enhances your adventure and can lead to lasting friendships. Maybe you are sharing stories over a meal, or enjoying group activities together, these connections add a new dimension to your trip.
6. Value for MoneyGuided tours can often be more cost-effective than traveling independently, especially when you factor in the included perks like meals, entrance fees, and accommodations. The package price typically covers most expenses, providing transparency and eliminating the worry of unexpected costs.
7. Seamless Problem ResolutionTravel hiccups are inevitable, but having your favorite travel advisor in your backpocket to prepare you for your trip before departure (hi, me again!) and then a local guide to handle unexpected issues in destination, you know you are taken care of in every way possible.

Ever since my husband and I got married in Mexico, we made a promise to ourselves to plan romantic getaways and adults only vacations every year, even after we had kids. Our favorite destinations so far are the Hawaiian Islands, Sandals Resorts - specifically in Jamaica, the Bahamas and Antigua - and our unforgettable Alaskan Cruise. I’m passionate about helping other couples plan time away from everyday responsibilities and take time to rest, relax and reconnect. We are committed to continuing to travel, just the two of us, but now we are also introducing our two kids to traveling the world and making memories together as a family. As a Hawaiian Destination Expert, our family's ever-growing bucket list includes visiting every Hawaiian Island, and we are well on our way!

From beaches and mountains, to waterfalls and hiking and everything in between, you'll dream of going to Hawaii again and again. And if you’ve never experienced the Aloha Spirit – the warm welcome you will receive at every turn in Hawaii – well, it’s not really something I can put into words – you just need to experience it for yourself. I can't wait to send you there!
4 Reviews & Success stories
Paris Anniversary Perfection
Thank you for your hard work on our anniversary trip to Paris. It was absolutely fabulous in every way. It was a perfect balance of planned activities and free time to roam and explore. The hotel you recommended was so perfect. The location was ideal and I highly recommend it as well. You're right - buying tickets in advance for important activities is the only way to go - but also finding some amazing gems while roaming the streets - true perfection. Picking a favorite is so hard. --- Heather
Italy was a Dream Trip
It was so wonderful to have an Italian guide who shared so much history throughout! Not only did he talk about the historical sites, but we also learned about the farmland, lifestyles and so much more during our travel from city to city! In one day, we were able to see the Colosseum and the Vatican because of our private bus and the skip-the-line tours that were reserved for us. We could have never done that on our own. Lines were wrapped around every building and most of those sites limit how many people enter each day so tickets are difficult to get. We added days on before and after the tour. Jessica handled EVERY DETAIL (scheduled our hotels, train rides and provided transfers) which would have taken me days to research and plan out. She checked on us throughout our trip to make sure it was everything we had dreamed of. And it was! -- Emily
Amazing first time at Secrets Maroma Beach
Jessica Pratt planned the best vacation for our family! We went to Secrets Maroma Beach Cancun in July 2024. We had never been out of the country before so we had no idea how to plan a trip. She made it so easy because she did EVERYTHING, from the minute we arrived at the airport to leave until we arrived at the airport to come home and even more. She gave us details for the entire week we would be gone! We all know vacations can have bumps in them that cannot be avoided but they can be especially scary when you're out of the country! We had an emergency situation while we were there and Jessica was just a call away and was texting with me throughout the day and even into the night when we made it back to our resort! She held our hand the entire way. Jessica absolutely made our time away amazing even when there were bumps! We will absolutely be using her again! -- Shannon T
We just got back from a dream vacation in Hawaii!! We are so thankful to Jessica!! She listened and took into account our families wants and planned according!! We had the perfect mix of super fun activities and relaxing by the pool and beach!! (She didn’t even get mad when I forgot the time difference and texted her at 1am 😬) we can’t wait to start planning our next adventure with her!!❤️ ---Danae S
It’s no secret that Hawaii is a dream destination for travelers around the world. But while Maui and Oahu often steal the spotlight, the island of Kauai will quickly steal your heart with its natural beauty and laid-back charm.
1. Waterfalls Straight Out of a Dream
I'm a sucker for a waterfall and Kauai is home to some of the most stunning waterfalls you’ll ever see. The twin cascades of Wailua Falls, the flow of Opaeka’a Falls, and so much more - I can never get enough of the magic of a waterfall.
2. Hiking andEndless Outdoor Adventures
If you love everything outdoors, Kauai definitely delivers. Hiking, kayaking, or just exploring - you will fall in love with Kauai.
3. The Most Breathtaking Scenery
From the rugged beauty of the iconic Napali Coast to the awe-inspiring Waimea Canyon, Kauai’s natural beauty is unmatched. Every view feels like it belongs on the cover of a travel magazine.
4. Sunsets That Take Your Breath Away
Kauai’s sunsets are pure magic. Watching the sky light up in shades of pink, orange, and gold while the ocean sparkles below is a moment that stays with you forever. It’s the perfect way to end any day on the island.
I can't wait to help you explore the island of Kauai.
With wedding planning comes so much decision making: venues, photographers, wedding cakes, dresses, invitations and so much more. The mountain of to-do lists to plan your wedding can seem endless. And working with a travel advisor can take a huge piece of the decision making and planning off of your plate: The Honeymoon!
Why work with a travel advisor for your honeymoon? There are so many advantages to working with someone that plans honeymoons and romantic getaways every day. Someone who knows a destination, who is available to ask questions (no google needed) and will give you travel tips along the way, so you can enjoy the stress-free, dreamy honeymoon you deserve.
Time Savings
It's easy to go down the rabbit hole and spend endless hours researching online and reading tons and tons of online reviews only to end up more overwhelmed than when you first started. When you work with me, I take care of all the leg work of research, planning and booking for your honeymoon so that all you have to do is figure out how many bathing suits you need to pack.
Expert information
Have you tried asking friends and family for their input? You'll likely get 50 different responses, NONE that are tailor made for you! When we plan your honeymoon it's tailor designed for you - you'll depart for your honeymoon with my expert tips and information about your destination.
Seamless Getaways
When you work with me, all elements of the trip are packaged together - offering a seamless getaway. Flights, transportation, resort stay and cancellation waiver are all bundled and we go over the details prior to departure.
Peace of Mind
Peace of Mind in honeymoon planning - PRICELESS! My clients know that they can reach out to me with any questions they think of throughout the planning process (no google needed). And if any hiccups arise during travels, we've already discussed just how to handle them, plus, I'm a text or phone call away when needed.
If you’re looking for a Hawaiian Vacation that’s a perfect combination of outdoor adventure and relaxed time in nature – put the Island of Kauai on your list of places to visit!
Hiking – whether you are a beginner or love to hike for miles, there’s a spectacular hike for every skill level. And nearly all hikes promise spectacular views on the Island of Kauai.
Na Pali Coast – see it by boat or see it by helicopter (because those are the only two ways you can see it) – but the most important thing is – you HAVE to see it!
Scenic Drives – the scenic drives in Kauai might be my all time favorite thing about the island. Driving with the convertible top down with the Hawaiian Breeze in your hair through the Tunnel of Trees is absolutely spectacular.
Waterfalls – no trip to any island in Hawaii is complete without a visit to at least one waterfall – or you can try to chase multiple waterfalls in one day - I always try to. There’s something about the sound of rushing water and the amazing natural beauty of the shades of green foliage that surrounds the waterfalls that is so relaxing.
If hiking, visiting the Na Pali coast, scenic drives and waterfalls sound like a fantastic vacation - you should DEFINITELY visit the Island of Kauai!
If you’re ready to book a trip to Kauai or another Hawaiian Island, the best time to start planning is now! As a Hawaii Destination Expert, I’ve studied the islands in depth, visited multiple times and I'd love to help you plan an epic trip to Kauai!
