Italy is waiting for you...
...exactly how you dreamed it would be
Guided Travel
See the Tuscany you've been dreaming of. We will take you to all our favorite places. Each of the 11 days in this trip is an adventure as we explore Florence and Siena as well as the beautiful Tuscan countryside. All the details, including apartments, private drivers, attractions and meals, are taken care of for you.
Perfect Girls getaway
A trip of a lifetime! You will be treated to the very best kind of vacation - one where someone else worries about the details. We've done all the work so you can have all the fun. We will show you things you've only dreamed about. Imagine lingering over long lunches in the Tuscan hills, wandering the streets of quaint little villages, staring in awe at the majesty of the many churches, or winding down at the end of the night on your apartment terrace with a bottle or two of wine reliving the magic of the day. The memories will last forever!

Come create with us in beautiful Tuscany where the sun is shining, the wine is flowing and beauty is around every corner! Our simple beginner art techniques produce surprising results. This experience is not as much about making perfect art as it is about the joyful act of creating.

Passion for Italy
Bethany Ekblad is passionate about all things Italy. Over the course of her many trips to italy, she has developed a deep love for the beauty of the art and countryside, the deep traditions, the friendly people, and the relaxed way of life. Her passion spills out into every aspect of the trip. It's infectious. You can't help but fall in love too.
Fantastic Food & Wine
Enjoy fabulous food and wine at our favorite restaurants and wineries. We have spent several years finding the best places to go in the region. The highlight is as authentic as it gets.....a 5 course dinner in the home of an Italian grandma. Spectacular!! Buon Appetito!
See the masterpieces of the great Renaissance artists. Works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael among others are scattered throughout the great Tuscan cities we will visit. Visit several magnificent churches that will leave you breathless.
