Tessie Young

With over 30 years’ experience, I can truly say I have the breadth of experience and insider contacts that take a vacation from just fine to fantastic.

Europe is my specialty: for many years I have spent an annual month-long vacation exploring the memorable cities and the idyllic countryside of many European countries.

One of my favorite places in the world is Italy which is so diverse that I think of it as many countries in one. My most recent trip in September 2022 included hiking in the Dolomites, soaking up pure luxury in a 5* spa hotel, a stay in a villa in Chianti and a lesson with a chef who has cooked for several celebrities. Umbria, Rome, Venice: so much to experience in Italy. Plus I always have a couple of off-the-beaten-path places I keep secret between me and my clients!

I’m also very fond of England and have a soft spot in my heart for Cotswolds area with its picturesque villages and thatched cottages, and I have hiked extensively in the wild beauty of Yorkshire and the Lake District. Whenever in England I also always take the time to soak up some of London’s alluring charms including the theater scene.

Beyond Italy and England I can provide personal counselling based on my own experiences in Spain, Germany, France (with its picturesque chateaux country) and many other European destinations.

My itineraries are always carefully planned and personalized – such as the family trip to England focused on the UK car-racing scene!

Whether you contact me regarding a trip to Europe or somewhere more “exotic” (I have also travelled to destinations as diverse as Morocco, China, India, East Africa. Egypt and Jordan you can trust me to find the hidden gems, the ideal biking trip, the family-run hotel that you are dreaming about.
