We’re now offering our travel planning services to fellow wanderlusters looking for unforgettable custom travel experiences.
Our Travel Planning Services & What You’ll Get
ONE-ON-ONE VIDEO CONSULTATION
You’ll have a 60-minute video call with us, during which you can ask any questions or share any concerns. Consider this a travel brainstorming session that helps you decide things like the best route, which overnight stops to add, how long to stay in each, etc.
After our chat, you’ll receive a PDF document summarising everything we discussed, including answers to your questions and curated recommendations with links to book hotels, tours or activities directly.
CUSTOM ITINERARY PLANNING
You’ll have an introductory video call with us, after which you’ll receive a detailed itinerary in PDF form that you can print or download. For each overnight stop in your itinerary, we’ll include at least three different accommodation suggestions with links to book your preferred hotels directly.
In this personalised itinerary, you’ll find the breakdown of each day, including plenty of recommendations for sightseeing, eating and drinking, but also our local expert tips on when you should slow down and simply take in the destinations you’re visiting.
You’ll also receive a map with all the points of interest included in your custom itinerary, as well as packing tips to help you decide what to wear depending on the weather and specific activities.
What’s Not Included
We don’t offer booking services. As travel consultants, we’ll do all the research for you and send you links to our recommendations regarding accommodation, best routes, tours, transfers, ground transportation, restaurants, attractions, etc, but you’re responsible for all bookings and reservations.

what makes us stand out
Why Choose Us?
It makes sense to wonder:
Why choose us over everyone else out there offering the same travel planning services?
But are they really the same?
You’ll get personalised recommendations
On our blog and YouTube channel, we publish free guides, other resources and videos that inspire you to plan your next trip. So, why not stick to those? Although our articles and videos are thorough and very well-researched, they’re not tailored to your needs.
Opting for our custom trip planning services means we’ll provide you with personalised recommendations to ensure you experience the trip of a lifetime, customised to your travel style, needs and preferences.
We only plan trips to destinations we’ve lived in
We’ve travelled to many countries in and out of Europe, but we don’t offer custom travel services for all these destinations.
We’ll only step in to help you with your travel plans if you’re thinking of visiting any of the countries we’ve spent a lot of time in, know quite well and are able to share local expertise.
When we say that we live in countries rather than counting them, we mean it and slow travel isn’t just a catchy phrase for us; it’s a way of life.
Our goal is to help you make responsible travel choices
We always strive to ensure a sustainable future for all destinations, driven by our respect towards local communities and our wish to let future generations enjoy these destinations, too.
But it takes a village and this is why we’ll help you make responsible travel choices by recommending family-run hotels, locally owned tour operators, restaurants and other businesses and the most environmental-friendly means of transport, always with your comfort, safety, and well-being in mind.
We don’t count countries, we live in them and here’s where our travel planning services can take you
Greece
Born and raised in Greece, we know this sunny corner in Southern Europe like the back of our hands, from its lesser-known islands to the largely unknown yet full of wonders mainland.
Italy
Il Bel Paese is our second home and we’d love to help you plan the best trip to what must be the world’s most beautiful country – and most delicious cuisine.
Rest of Europe
We travel extensively across Europe, spending months in each destination and slowly becoming locals in countries like Czechia, Georgia, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, England, Hungary, Romania, Spain, Sri Lanka and Turkiye.
What our clients say
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We’re Maria and Katerina, two avid travellers ourselves who have been publishing free resources on our travel blogs and YouTube channel for almost a decade.
At some point, we decided to put our years of travel experience into good use by offering custom trip planning services to fellow travellers who are eager to get to know the real Europe and experience the countries we know well like locals.
Our travel planning services are invaluable for travellers looking to experience authentic Europe but don’t have enough time to plan their trips to the last detail.
Planning can indeed be part of the fun, but planning the perfect trip takes up a lot of time that you most likely don’t have. Although travelling has always made us happy, finding time to plan our trips was a source of great frustration back in the day, when we still had our 9-5 jobs.
That’s why we decided to take this weight off your shoulders and do all the time-consuming planning for you. Having a personal travel planner means you can spend your free time daydreaming about your upcoming trip instead of staring at tens of open tabs on your laptop.
We can help you plan any type of trip, from solo adventures to honeymoons to multi-generational journeys. However, we have a soft spot for – and expertise on – trips that focus on mindful travel.
With our help, you’ll visit off-the-beaten-path destinations, travel in the low season, stay in family-run boutique hotels, savour delicious veggie food and join authentic meaningful experiences that will help you immerse yourselves in the local culture.
Our travel planning services can help you at any stage of your planning process. If you only have a vague idea of where you want to go, we can offer guidance as to how to which destinations to add to your itinerary.
If you already know where you want to go, but you’re not sure how much time to spend in each stop, we’ll come up with the perfect route, allocating the right amount of time for each destination and help you decide which places are ideal for day trips and which you should definitely overnight in.
Even if you’ve booked everything already, our custom trip planning services can help you add the final touches, thanks to our expert local tips you won’t easily find online.
We’ll help you plan your trips to countries we’ve actually spent a lot of time in. These include: Greece, Italy, Czechia, Georgia, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, England, Hungary, Romania, Spain, Sri Lanka, Turkiye.
This is our current offering, but we’ll never stop slowly roaming around the world, so keep checking back as this list of countries will keep growing.
Although we can always share our opinions about literally anywhere, we prefer not to sell custom travel itineraries for destinations we have only briefly visited or haven’t even visited yet.
That said, if you want us to do the research for you anyway, the way we’d do it if it were us visiting this destination for the first time, fill in this form and we’ll get back to you with our thoughts and a quote.
Everything: accommodation, best ways to get around cities (public transport, taxis or walking), best ways to travel from one destination to the next (planes, trains, ferries or a road trip), hidden gems and lesser-known destinations, best restaurants, cafés and bars, practical information like currency, weather and what to pack, expert local tips like optimal times to visit popular attractions, and a lot more. We can offer guidance on any or all of the above.
We’ve been there and we made it our mission to discover the best plant-based food in the whole of Europe.
With us, you can kiss boring salads and side dishes goodbye. We’ll give you a list of the best vegetarian and vegan dishes and where to try them, especially in countries whose local cuisines are heavily meat-based.
Unfortunately, we’re not travel agents, which means we can’t book anything for you. However, wherever possible, we’ll provide you with links to book your preferred services or products, such as hotels, tours, activities, travel insurance, eSIMs, transport tickets, etc, directly.

We’re only offering travel advice. As travel advisors, we are not liable for any personal injury, accident, property damage, or any other loss or claim arising from you joining in any activities recommended in your personalised itinerary.
This includes, but is not limited to, any delays, cancellations, strikes, natural disasters, or other occurrences. Please read our Disclosure/Disclaimer page for more details.
