Real Europe: Beyond the Itinerary
Authentic European Experiences: Luxury Travel Built on Real Relationships
Europe isn’t something to look at. It’s something to understand.
Not the cathedrals you’ve already seen, but the quiet places most travelers miss,
the room where a painting still hangs where it was meant to,
the chef who tells you why a truffle matters,
We take you into those conversations, the ones that have been happening for centuries.
Not flashy luxury just truth, presence, and a sense of why these places still matter.
If You’re Not Sure Where to Begin
Europe is vast, layered, and easy to overthink. So here are a few journeys we’ve crafted for travelers who wanted something more than a list of must-sees , trips built around people, places, and moments that reveal a region from the inside out. Think of these as sparks for your own story.
A Private Grand Tour of Europe
A curated journey across emblematic cities and hidden enclaves, shaped around private access, meaningful encounters, and unhurried discovery.
Reading Istanbul With an Historian
A conversation with a guide who reads the city like a manuscript, revealing its layers through overlooked details, lived history, and stories seldom told.

From Our Travelers
I am not easily impressed, but Marie managed the impossible throughout our entire Champagne experience. She was able to secure private and exclusive access to prestigious houses—a privilege reserved only for major distributors and celebrities.
What a trip! The honeymoon was wonderful, and planned incredibly well, we can’t think of anything wrong. The detail on the itinerary was perfect and the guides were outstanding. Lots of memories to keep!
Marie Tesson listens, internalizes what she’s heard, crafts well-thought out itineraries, and isn’t afraid to suggest alternatives. She has consistently gone beyond my expectations and I rate her a 10 out of 10.
