How it works

Three steps to your perfect trip

01
Tell me about you

Fill in the enquiry form below — when you'd like to travel, how many people, what kind of trip you're dreaming of, and any special requests. The more you tell me, the better I can tailor it.

02
Sarah plans it

I put together a personalised itinerary — flights, hotel, transfers, tours, and day trips — using my local knowledge and contacts in Ravenna. I'll send you a full proposal with costs and options.

03
You arrive and enjoy

Everything is taken care of before you land. I'll be there in person for your guided tours, and on hand throughout your stay if you need anything. Just turn up and let Ravenna do the rest.

What's covered

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

Packages are priced to include the things that actually matter. No hidden costs, no surprise extras on arrival. What you're quoted is what you pay.

  • Return flights from your nearest UK airport
  • Hotel accommodation (boutique and family-run, personally vetted)
  • All airport and inter-city transfers
  • All guided tours and experiences with Sarah
  • Day trip transport and entry fees where applicable
  • Welcome pack and restaurant recommendations
  • Personal WhatsApp support throughout your stay
  • Meals and drinks (unless included in a specific tour)
  • Personal travel insurance (we'll remind you to get it)
  • Optional extras added after booking

A personal note from Sarah: Prices are quoted once I know your travel dates, group size, and preferences — flights vary enormously and I'd rather give you an honest number than a misleading "from" figure. Send me an enquiry and I'll come back to you quickly.

Why book with Sarah?

You speak directly to the person arranging your trip — no call centres, no middlemen
Every hotel, restaurant, and experience is one Sarah has personally visited and recommends
Local contacts built up through living in Ravenna — better hotels at better rates over time
Your guide is your trip planner — coherent, consistent, genuinely invested in your experience
Background in hospitality and events — the details that make trips memorable are second nature
Sarah's approach
This isn't a brochure.
It's a conversation.

I don't have a catalogue of pre-set packages that I fit people into. I have a deep knowledge of Ravenna, a network of people I trust, and the experience to put together something genuinely special.

Tell me what you love — history, food, long lunches, early mornings, wine, coastal walks — and I'll build your trip around that. If something doesn't suit you, we change it.

"The best trips I've ever been on felt effortless. That's what I want to give people — the joy of being somewhere incredible, without any of the stress of getting there."

— Sarah
