testimonial

Our trip to Italy that Darby planned and organized for us was a trip of a lifetime. The actual travel was flawless, the tour guides were exceptional, and the experiences were incredibly memorable. In addition, knowing that we had “local support” was incredibly valuable to us. We are looking forward to the next travel experience that Darby plans for us.

testimonial

Darby is responsive and organized and mindful of our requests. She maintains contact during our trip in the event there is any glitch. Couldn't recommend her more! I rated this trip "Exceeded Expectations," but as this was our third trip with Darby, we have come to expect this level of excellence. I won't work with anyone else. Darby makes this so easy, listens, presents sensible options. She is the best.

testimonial

I would not have chosen this location myself, not having heard much from others BUT it was one of the most beautiful places I've seen. We had an 18 and 21 year old with us and they have varied interests. All four of us loved the (private) tours, biking, shopping, incredible restaurants, and Teton Village. The resort was wonderful and the views and wildlife were spectacular... our photos look like fake backgrounds. Darby makes planning and the trip a breeze. It's so nice to go on vacation and truly be on vacation because everything is perfectly planned for you. I have used Darby for multiple trips and recommended her to many others. She never disappoints.
