Meet the Lombardo Family

Destination: Rome, Venice, and Paris

Trip Type: Family Vacation

Trip Duration: 10 Days

Travel Style: This was their first trip to Europe, and they wanted to see as many of the big sights as possible, stay at city-center hotels, and explore charming neighborhoods and streets by foot. 

Special Request: To visit the real-life restaurant that appears in a painting that the family has had hanging in their living room for 25 years. It was a trip highlight for them when they dined here (pictured)!

Cassie was fantastic to work with and passionate about helping my family have a trip of a lifetime to Rome, Venice, and Paris! 

We choose the complete turnkey trip planning with daily itineraries. It was wonderful not to have to think of the best way to get around since our travel from activity to activity had options and clear instructions right on the itinerary. 

We will definitely use her services again!

Image of the front page of a sample Paris Itinerary designed by Montage Travel.

” I hired Cassie to plan a family trip (2 adults, 3 teens) to Paris and London. The itinerary she created for our trip was truly the best gift I have given myself in a long time. I was in a panic, not knowing how to make the most of just 3 days in each city.She let me be as involved as I wanted to be and yet took the reins when I got overwhelmed. She made dining reservations, told us which metros to take, and knew all the tricks to avoid lines at busy museums and other sites. She thought of every little detail and even put our itinerary into an easy-to-use app that I referred to throughout the day as we traveled! “

Did you know a well-optimized itinerary will help you see up to 30% more than you might have without one?

Forget spending your precious vacation time standing around wondering where to go next… or, waiting in a long ticket line because tickets weren’t ordered online. 

An itinerary will help you use your time more efficiently – including your downtime! It’s a magical thing when you can “plan” your breaks… using what might have been a wasted 30 minutes standing in a line instead to sip on a cappuccino while enjoying a scenic view.

The Montage Travel Difference

While many travel agencies claim to provide “custom itineraries,” what this typically means is, they are going to create a package of tours scheduled for each day of your trip. Prices are often bloated to cover commissions that are built in. Some agencies provide practical advice, but in most cases, what you do between activities and how you get around the city is left for you to figure out.

I do things differently. I know that an optimized itinerary and practical travel advice go hand-in-hand and are essential factors that go into how much you will enjoy your vacation.

I want you to see more by visiting sites during less crowded times, I want you to know which museums are best explored independently and which are enriched by visiting with a guide,  and I certainly don’t want you to get lured into a tourist trap restaurant that will cost more and be less authentic than a restaurant down the street that caters mostly to locals.

I am a fee-based advisor. I am not bound by the commission model that 95% of agencies operate.

This means that when you see tour and activity suggestions on your itinerary, you can be confident that I have made these suggestions for your benefit, not mine.

I will only recommend activities that have been properly vetted and that I believe you will love. If the operator happens to pay a commission, I will accept only if it doesn’t cost you more. 

Here at Montage Travel, I’m doing things differently. And it all comes down to:

How can I help you have the best experience possible during your European vacation?
