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.

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.
