Authentic Ireland Adventure
Jean coordinated an amazing vacation to Ireland for our group of 4 couples. Just the right mix of local culture and sightseeing. We stayed in Country Clare at an authentic farm with so much charm yet updated to provide all the amenities needed. Our itinerary included local venues (like a true hurling showdown between counties at a local pub) mixed with some great excursions to must sees like the Cliffs of Moor. Jean booked out some great golf locations for our guys at some of the top Ireland courses. She also researched the rental car situation and got us a great deal as well as ensuring we were covered because no insurance in the US would cover us! (who knew) Jean specializes in really getting to know you personally and understanding what you need to make a vacation great!!! She pays attention to every detail so that their are no surprises (except the awesome ones). We were so thrilled with our authentic view of Ireland!!!!

we met with jean at the last minute for help in planning our trip to florence. she jumped right in and locked up a fine airfare, quickly found several apartments for us to choose from, and began to check on several tours and activities that our family was interested in. her enthusiasm matched our own, and she never wavered from trying to ensure we’d have a great experience.
our apartment turned out to be within walking distance of virtually all of florence. it was spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. additionally, jean booked us for some great stuff: a guided bus trip to san gimignano, siena and chianti country, a private tour of the uffizi and l’academia, and a cooking class. each was great in their own unique way. our leaders [irina, joanna, francesco - respectively] were knowledgeable, fun and took care to find out our own interests. we would never have found this level of expertise without jean’s experience, hustle and determination.
to sum up, my family of four had a fabulous trip, due in no small part to the work of jean grobe.

Jean planned an absolutely awesome Croatian adventure for us. Every detail, from early stages of planning through to the flight home, was planned meticulously and communicated clearly and in a timely fashion.
Jean took the time to find out what we wanted to do, and planned a perfect trip that included all that we wanted. AND she did this all on a really impressive budget.
We will definitely be turning to Jean again for future trips.

Customized Planning at its Best
We wanted to trace my husband's ancestral roots in France and see the country in depth, so we sketched out a 23-day
road trip by ourselves, but we needed expert help in ensuring that our wants were realistic, that our car rental was reasonable and that our accommodations were memorable. We got all that and more! For example, Jean and her contacts in France managed to get us a a very comfortable Peugeot sedan on a short-term lease, which saved us many dollars. Our itinerary was tightened up and our accommodations included two spa hotels, a bed and breakfast, two wine-producing chateaux, a manor house and a five star hotel--what fun! Jean was unfailingly cheerful and very responsive to our questions and concerns; we would recommend her without reservation.

Jean does the heavy lifting
Jean has planned two trips for us. Each time the flights and accommodations have been perfect and within budget. I appreciate the leg work that goes into planning a trip and know the I be in good hands with Jean's plan and idea's. I like the idea of just getting on the plane knowing I will have the right accommodations on the other end.
