Location: Italy, Tuscany, Rome, Florence
BENVENUTO! Hello, my name is Suzan Rozypal.
Join me on an exciting and affordable Italian discovery. Travel with a small, personal group of like-minded travelers with the expertise of a very passionate guide. Travel in a relaxed atmosphere with old or new friends. Explore the "Eternal City" of Rome and the magnificent region of Tuscany. Travel along the Amalfi Coast, the Italian Riveria and glide along the Grand Canal in Venice. Visit each area's landmark sights and hidden treasures with a focus on art, architecture, history, food, wine, and of course the natural beauty of the Tuscan landscape. Travel easily through Italy on an adventure that combines the convenience and value of structured group travel with the flexibility to go where you want to go.
ITALY begins as a dream vacation destination in one's mind. Italy becomes a lasting impression in the heart and mind of any traveler who actually makes the trip. Join me for the opportunity to experience the Italy I fell in love with many years ago.
As a Flight Attendant, I have a unique understanding of the average traveler throughout the USA. I know that there is more to any vacation than just the initial dream and booking deposit. Preparation and information are essential to a successful trip. Once in Italy, its beauty and culture will do the rest of the job in making your visit unforgettable. The Italian people are warm and friendly with a lifestyle that you will quickly envy.
WHY TRAVEL WITH SUZAN?
I have been traveling to Italy for over 20 years and have been fortunate to discover the wealth of treasures in both the cities and the quaint villages in the countryside. I am passionate about sharing my love and knowledge of the Tuscan region with others. I am committed to providing a relaxed traveling atmosphere through interaction with a small group of "friends". I am also commited to providing the opportunity to travel to Italy even with today's weak dollar. I have priced my tours as reasonable as possible while still providing a "top-notch" experience.
It is important and enjoyable to see the "famous" sights. It is however, the hidden jewels that can leave the deepest impressions on travelers. Rome is the most famous city in Italy and has been a bustling metropolis for thousands of years. Tuscany is filled with pleasant surprises around every bend. By traveling with a small group you will be able to see and do so much more than you would ever be able to do on a large bus tour. There is a wealth of discovery waiting for those who want more than just snapping a quick photo and then moving on to the next sight in the guide book. Join me for the experience of a lifetime.
You will find complete details of my tours including day to day itineraries, prices, and my own personal travel philosophy. Also, join planned tour adventures by reading my daily BLOGS.
