In Their Own Words: A Grandfather and Grandson’s “Grand Tour” of Florence! – PostcardZ from Victoria

As a travel designer specializing in Italy, I always enjoy meeting clients when they arrive in Florence!

♦ Referred by a travel professional from Sicily, David contacted me to plan a truly special trip: a week in Florence with his 12-year-old grandson, Cash. ♦

♦
I was thrilled that David dedicated an entire week to Florence, allowing ample time for curated experiences as well as personal exploration! After several discussions regarding their interests, David was very receptive to suggestions.

♦
I am incredibly pleased that we finalized a unique itinerary that they truly enjoyed!

“I asked Victoria to help design a Grand Tour for a trip to Florence with my 12-year-old grandson, who had never traveled outside the US. She crafted the itinerary to perfection, balancing exploration with time for his interests in painting, violins, and quality food. I can’t thank you enough for making memories that will last a lifetime!”

I absolutely love co-creating personalized itineraries!

Always collaborating with my amazing local contacts, I can ensure that my clients experience not just wonderful adventures, but also the genuine hospitality of the welcoming locals.

♦
From exploring museums to guided tours and making fresh pasta in the Tuscan countryside; from meeting artisans to discovering authentic Tuscan cuisine…and…

When I suggested they get haircuts, they embraced the idea wholeheartedly! The transformation was delightful!

♥
“Thanks to Victoria’s gentle encouragement, both my grandson and I got new hairstyles from Mattia, and we’re thrilled with the result. Victoria made our visit so much more special than we expected.”
♥

♦
It was truly rewarding (and enjoyable!) for me to be part of some of their adventures! I firmly believe that travel transforms lives, creating memories that last a lifetime—and this trip was no exception!

Among the experiences they wanted was to taste a local delicacy, bistecca fiorentina…and have tiramisu for dessert! Mission accomplished!

♥
“Victoria recommended an amazing restaurant! Tasting the bistecca fiorentina was a memorable experience. Thank you, Victoria, for guiding us to the best!”
♥

♦
All their “wish list” items were checked off, including museums, special experiences, and, of course, delightful gelato!
Not to mention the priceless joy of experiencing everything together!

♦ ♥ ♦

♥ This is why I love what I do. It’s the collaboration and teamwork with my local partners that makes all the difference!



We planned the adventure!



They created lasting memories!

Is it your turn? Time to plan for this fall and even next spring!
