WHY YOUR CUSTOM VACATION WILL BE A SUCCESS
Personalized & Flexible Itinerary
No two itineraries are alike! You’ll get a day-by-day itinerary, personalized pre-departure guide, and itinerary walk-thru video in an editable Google doc so you can use it twice: first while you finalize and book your trip, then on the ground in Germany.
You’ll save a massive amount of time and stress by having all of your essential information in one easy to access document.
Destination Experts in Your Corner
We each bring 35+ years first-hand experience with Germany travel, culture, language, and transportation to the planning process.
Our deep and nuanced understanding of places, sights, and experiences helps you make best choices for your dream trip.
Handpicked Hotels, Experiences, Tours & More
After getting to know your trip inspiration, interests, and preferences, we’ll hand-pick accommodations, activities, experiences, guides, tours, train routes & tickets, driving routes, and more.
We check everything against practical details, so you’ll maximize each day while having enough room for serendipity.
Collaborative Process
In your live Zoom consult, we will discuss your trip inspiration, interests, preferences, and map out your overall route. First-time and repeat travelers alike turn to us to discover new and fascinating destinations and experiences.
Real Humans, Start to Finish
Don’t leave your planning to impersonal machines or chance! We stay with you until departure, which means you get priority email support for any questions you have as you finalize and book your trip. Any time you reach out, you’re always talking directly to us, never a bot.

3-Country Anniversary Road Trip
Cate…wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time in Germany (and Belgium/Luxembourg) and we credit your expertise with making it so!
Your expertise and guidance was invaluable in making this such a memorable experience for us! – Sallie
Bavarian Adventure with Kids
I had a Zoom meeting with Cate, and it was incredible! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience-from the interactive map of hotels/dining/experiences to the great photos, ideas, and advice. I feel organized vs anxious/prepared vs guessing and know how to make the most of our time in Germany. Thanks for a great service Cate! – Tracey
Switzerland & Oktoberfest Trip
Cate we are sooo thankful for the zoom call with you! I’m usually great at planning trips, but this one was so overwhelming for me with all the options and not enough time but you calmed our nerves. You even gave us some great insider tours and locations to visit that we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves!
So very grateful! We really enjoyed our session and planning with you. We feel very at ease and excited for our trip now! – Anne
Christmas Market Roadtrip
The more serious we got about planning, I realized I couldn’t do it on my own. I’m so glad we had your itinerary, because it made it pretty much effortless on our end. We basically just had to show up and follow through with it. I can’t imagine diving into all of that on our own — it would have been way more challenging. It was worth it for sure.
If I had to describe the whole trip in one word, it would be magical. We loved every second of it. – Kori

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cate, I just had the chance to go through the itinerary and the video for the first time. We are so excited! It looks so fun. I just watched it this time and didn’t take notes. I will go back through it and I’m sure I’ll have some questions. I don’t think very many, however. You seemed to answer them in your video.
