About Your Europe Expert
Hi, I’m Renee Hannes
For 35+ years, Europe has been my travel destination of choice. I revisit the same five countries — France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain — to help travellers like you. I explore them extensively and use my relationships with local partners for the latest insider information.
How I help fellow travellers like you:
👉 I balance top attractions with off-the-beaten-path experiences to maximize your vacation time.
👉I understand that travellers are looking for more out of their holiday. I focus on authentic experiences representing local culture.
👉I create a custom travel plan that is one-of-a-kind and designed with you in mind. Each plan is personalized to your needs, nothing is pre-packed, only customized to your individual interests and travel preferences.
👉I am a great fit for mature travellers, couples, group and solo travellers who enjoy authentic experiences, great food and wine, hidden gems, and classic sites. I am not a good fit for specialized family trips.
What I won’t do. I’m not a travel agent, I am an experienced traveller. The difference is, that I only create customized itineraries for destinations I’ve travelled to and have on-the-ground experience. I am not able to book your accommodations, transportation or excursions, but I can research and make recommendations.
FAQs About Customized Travel Planning Services
How much does your custom trip planning service cost?
The cost of my custom trip planning service varies depending on the complexity and length of your trip. Once I have an understanding of your travel needs, I prepare a detailed quote for service.
Is my trip fully customized?
Yes! Every trip starts from a clean slate. While some itinerary activities might be similar the accommodations, restaurants, experiences and pace of travel will vary from traveller to traveller.
How far in advance should I start travel planning?
Ideally, we would start the planning process as far ahead as possible, especially during the summer months. Three to six months in advance helps ensure you have access to all accommodation options. If you need a fast turnaround time, this may incur an additional fee.
Do you offer group travel planning services?
Yes, I specialize in creating unforgettable experiences for groups of all sizes. Whether it’s a family reunion, wellness retreat, or a group of friends, I can tailor a trip to meet your specific needs.
