I plan Italy for people who would like to travel on their own: where to stay, where to eat, and how to spend the days. I have been going to Italy since 1979, and I plan your trip with the same care I give my own group weeks.

Who I plan for

• Couples, families and friends planning their own trip to Italy.

• Women who prefer to travel on their own, without a group.

• Past Riccio travelers going back on their own.

What I can plan, and the fees

• Hotels, $250 to $500. I choose every hotel for its location and character, and book it for you.

• A villa or apartment, $500 to $1,000. I find a rental that suits your group, and secure it.

• Itinerary programming, $1,000 to $2,500, depending on the length of the trip and the detail. A day-by-day plan with the guides, experiences and transport between places.

• Restaurant reservations, $300. My restaurants, booked for your dates.

How it works

1. Tell me about your trip in the form below: your dates, who is coming, and what you would like me to plan.

2. I will be in touch to talk it through.

3. I plan and book the pieces you choose.

Good to know

You book your own flights. Flight changes, delays and cancellations are outside the planning fee.
