READ MOREGeorgia joined B&R in order to spend one summer as a guide before getting a "real" job. That was 20 years ago. Now this Milan-based Italophile is our resident expert on la dolce vita, with 150 beautiful, breathless, one-of-a-kind trips under her (fine Italian leather) belt.
Our Trip Designers would love to hear from you. Drop us a line and we’ll get back to you soon.
With Bespoke trip planning, it's very personal, which makes it very different each time. I didn’t expect the emotional impact that travel can have on people, whether on a couple, an individual or a family.
What an unbelievable and fabulous trip you arranged for us with B&R in Rome, Matera and Puglia. Our family was blown away by the scenery, country side, hotel and eating arrangements, guided trips, demonstrations, and our wonderful leaders. One could not envision anything better, it was just perfect.
- Linda and Dick BatemanI couldn't wait any longer to tell you that our Amalfi trip was over-the-top spectacular! There was not a single person on the trip, including me, who could believe that each day could possibly be better than the day before...but that is exactly what happened. And the hotels - all of your choices - were perfect. The entire experience was just magical!
