Discover Europe

Our very first trip traversed Europe more than 50 years ago, and we’ve been exploring, befriending, indulging (and occasionally, imbibing) our way across it ever since.&nbsp;Today we’ve got the Continent covered: feel the warm breeze brushing off the Adriatic Sea, take in the cool air (and cooler culinary scene) of the Nordic north, explore a land of Viking legend in Iceland or get whisked away to a real life fairy tale in Bohemia.

Timeless landscapes and rich histories

La France Profonde

France isn’t a destination to us, it’s our second home, and we certainly love showing it off! We ensure that you experience France as the French do: decadently, poetically, and fashionably before anyone else. Come along as we crack open France’s coolest, most charming, and sometimes even clandestine cellars (for private tast-ings), kitchens (for private meals), and ancient castles (for a divine, windswept night or two). Ooh la la.

Discover the allure of castles, vineyards and riviera shores

Discover France as a second home, immersing yourself in its decadent, poetic, and fashionable side as we unveil hidden cellars, private kitchens, and ancient castles that evoke the true French spirit.

With a guiding and trip-designing career spanning nearly two decades, Dana Quinn has left few stones unturned in Italy, France, Greece, Croatia and beyond. After many years living in Italy, she now makes her home on the Cote D'azur. (Yeah—we're jealous, too.)

Dana has spent almost 30 years helping adventurous folks discover with the world with B&R. She started as a guide in 1996 and now designs trips for travellers looking to explore the Italian Riveria and the fiery island of Sicily—a place she knows well thanks to her own family roots on the island. 

 An American expat, Dana has lived in Europe since 1986, calling France her current home (but less than one hour from her first true love, Italy). 

She's one of our most seasoned Experience Designers and holds deep knowledge of the heritage of her regions, relying on her database of Italian tips and tricks from 15 years spent living there.

Dana believes that making new discoveries for the trips she designs often requires sitting down with locals over a plate of rigatoni alla norma and a glass of Etna bianco
