GUIDE FOR WHERE TO TRAVEL IN 2019
During the next couple of months most of us will be thinking about our travel plans for 2019. There is a whole world to explore so sometimes it becomes a difficult task to narrow down the options. Below are some suggestions based on the occasion and type of trip you're looking to take.
OFF THE BEATEN PATH DESTINATION - Puglia, Italy
Best Time to Visit: May through September to enjoy the beaches
Ideal Trip Length: 7 to 10 nights
Top Attractions: Seaside fishing villages along the Adriatic Sea, rugged cliffs and stunning beaches. But there is so much more… historic ancient villages, olive groves, and vineyards. The best part is that this area is still not overly filled with tourists so visit before it’s found!
Travel Tip: During summer months, food festivals, concerts and other special events pop up across the historic towns and beach villages.
WINTER ADVENTURE- Iceland
Best Time to Visit: I love recommending Iceland as a winter destination, here’s why… during summer months the highs are only in the 50s and in the winter daytime temperatures are around 40. So it totally makes sense to visit in the winter to enjoy super fun activities and experience the Northern Lights.
Ideal Trip Length: 6 to 7 nights.
Top Attractions: Experience the Northern Lights (our expert guides will take you on a hunt for the lights and will time it based on the best evening to view them), walk on a glacier, ride a snowmobile, experience spa treatments at the Blue Lagoon and explore the beautiful city of Reykjavik.
Travel Tip: Do not miss the friendly Icelandic horses and enjoy a beautiful ride in the countryside.
EUROPEAN ISLAND GETAWAY- Mallorca
Best Time to Visit: To enjoy the sun and sand visit during summer months.
Ideal Trip Length: 5 to 7 nights
Top Attractions: Visit the many beautiful beaches, hike through charming seaside villages, visit vineyards, and enjoy resorts with world-class spas.
Travel Tip: Combine visiting Mallorca with other parts of Spain or, for a total experience of the life of the rich and famous, combine with a visit to the French Riviera.
ROMANTIC ESCAPE - Portugal
Best Time to Visit: For the beaches in the south you must visit in the summer. The rest of the country is lovely during Spring and Fall.
Ideal Trip Length: 7 to 10 nights
Top Attractions: Visit spectacular beaches surrounded by cliffs in the Algarve, tour Lisbon’s charming neighborhoods, enjoy wine tours and tastings in the historic Douro Valley.
Travel Tip: Stay a few nights in one of the romantic spa hotels in the Douro Valley.
LONG WEEKEND GETAWAY - Paris or London
Best Time to Visit: Anytime! These cities are charming during any season. Spring and Fall are the most comfortable weather wise but visiting during the December holidays is magical.
Ideal Trip Length: 4 to 5 nights
Top Attractions: Visiting iconic sites like the Eiffel Tower and the Tower of London, experiencing world-class museums and monuments, and strolling classic neighborhoods.
Travel Tip: Most European cities are easy to navigate on your own (especially with the help of Google maps!), but having a private guide to visit the top sites gives you a thorough understanding of the history and also allows you to skip the lines and crowds. We also arrange tours/guides based on your interests... cooking, art, cycling, wine, etc...
