Group Trips to Europe

Eager to see the world

But nervous to travel alone? Come with me.

Every year I work with tour leaders and operators to plan epic group travel trips all over Europe with a diverse group of travelers, just like you. We’ll meet as strangers but quickly become friends, eating (duh), exploring, and making some core memories around Italy, together. 

Leave the trip planning up to us – in addition to having a local tour leader with us the entire trip as well as exclusive local guides for each excursion, we will also handle all the scheduling, communication, and tiny little details so that you don’t have to do ANYTHING but come and enjoy 🙂

join us – everyone is welcome.

“Kacie makes her trips inclusive, fun, and unique. If you are even a little curious about the experience – GO! You won’t regret it. Seeing the world and experiencing new places and cultures is a gift. Doing it with a group of new friends makes it even more special.”

– Stephanie M, Florence & The Italian Riviera 2025 

Hear it from past travelers:


  • “I simply loved my trip. I usually travel alone, so was nervous to share my travels with a group. I’m so glad I didn’t let that stop me! I loved everything about the trip. Such a great group of people. An itinerary meant I didn’t have to think about what to see, and didn’t have to wait in such long lines for places like The Vatican. Kacie is such a special person and her enthusiasm for life is so uplifting. Our guide, Emilio, was fantastic. I would definitely do another excursion with Kacie.”

    – Blythe B

    Venice, Florence, Rome 

  • “I LOVE traveling with Kacie! She is as real and authentic and joy and kind as she is on the internet in real life. Every detail is intentionally planned and curated for maximum fun and experience. The trips are a great mix of food, culture and fun! The vibe and fun first attitude creates automatic chemistry and friendship within the group- by day 2 it feels like you’ve known the group for ages! It truly is the best experience and you leave with new friends and memories that will last forever! The bond is real and it’s thanks to Kacie and the team she puts in place! Bus rides, extra activities, random hangs are truly the highlights of the trips! We found ourselves in the most fun bar one night of our trip and the laughs we all had were some of the best! Truly cannot recommend a trip with Kacie enough! She is the best travel bff you’ll ever have and you’ll have the trip of a lifetime!!!”

    – Sara L, Christmas Markets of Germany, Austria, and Hungary

  • “I’d considered doing a group tour in the past, but was too scared to do it. I am a mid-40s girlie,  so I was a little nervous about being on a tour with so many younger travelers. Kacie made me feel very welcome and I learned that age doesn’t matter with her tours. All are welcome!  I’ve been on 3 of her trips. I’ve met so many wonderful people and even traveled again with friends I met on my first tour. My mom and sister went on a tour with me in 2025 and we had a great time. Regardless of what is on the itinerary,  Kacie wants you to have fun and to do what you want to do.  There’s no pressure to attend any of the events. It’s your trip and she is there to encourage you, empower you and support you. Kacie has become a friend and I’m very thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to know her and travel with her.”

    – Tami F, Rome & Florence, Dolomites & Northern Italy, Christmas Markets of Germany, Austria & Hungary 

  • “The trip itself was wonderful! Pompeii was nothing like I imagined it – it was so much better! Sorrento was beautiful and was so much fun to explore. My favourite part by FAR was the people. Kacie is even sweeter in person than you’d imagine, and is so excited to get to know each person in the group. She and Vincenzo worked SO hard to make sure we all had the best time and that everything happened smoothly. Our group was absolutely *amazing*. I went for a trip to Italy, hoping I would see some cool history and eat some good food (and we did!). What I didn’t expect was to come home with 22 amazing new friends who I absolutely adore and can’t wait to adventure with again. I’ll be grateful to Kacie for this experience for the rest of my life.” 

    – Stephanie M

    Amalfi Coast

  • “I LOVED this trip!! Not only were all of the experiences well curated, but I experienced Italy in a way that I don’t think I would’ve been able to experience on my own. It’s obvious how much time was spent developing and putting the tour together, with fun hotels in insane locations, to going to family homes to experience truffle hunting or balsamic vinegar tastings. I think that the trip was a great balance of activities and down time. All of the food was incredible (I literally dream about that soft cheese with truffle from the truffle hunting place), and I loved all of our cooking classes! As a type A planner for most of my trips, it was so nice not having to worry about anything 😊”

    – Karissa M

    Northern Italy Food & Wine

  • “I had the most amazing time with Kacie during our trip to the Amalfi Coast. She was exactly as I had hoped – friendly, funny, smart and welcoming – and she put together a great trip. She also drew a great bunch of travelers who are now my travel friends – a great group of people who were easy going, funny and inclusive . The trip was well organized with scheduled events and tours as well as some downtime to explore on your own. The local guides were so informative and gave great details on the places we visited. I would highly recommend a tour with Kacie and look forward to booking another one! Ciao Bella!”

    – Eileen S

    Amalfi Coast

  • I honestly can’t say enough about what a great experience this was! I literally cried on the plan ride home because I was leaving behind a group of wonderful friends that somehow had been strangers only 6 days before. I’m not lying when I say every person on my tour was amazing!  It’s crazy to think that 20 strangers became like family over 7 days.  It was honestly a live changing experience for me and I will do it all again once my bank account recovers. I now have new friends, my first tattoo, and pride in myself for doing something that absolutely terrified me- oh and lots of good Italian wine!” 

    Kara B, Puglia & Matera

  • “I loved both trips! Kacie finds so many cool spots for us to visit and learn about Italian culture and history. I loved that both trips had a food tour (delicious!) through the classic old part of town. The best part about Kacie’s group trips is that it pushes me outside of my comfort zone to try something new and different that I wouldn’t have chosen for myself. I’ve biked on the ancient walls of Lucca, visited wineries, and climbed a volcano (!!) – all amazing experiences I wouldn’t have signed up for by myself but I’m so proud that I’ve done. Kacie is also a SWEETHEART and the best!! She really wants everyone on her trips to have the best time and is so kind and thoughtful.”

    – Caroline S

    Amalfi Coast, Italian Countryside

  • This was my inaugural group tour, as I typically prefer to travel independently. My decision to participate in this tour was driven by two primary factors: first, my long-standing admiration for Kacie, and second, the apparent enthusiasm and enjoyment associated with the tours she organizes. This trip was truly unforgettable. I was able to experience and witness much more than I would have on my own. The entire journey felt very well-timed, with activities always planned, yet ample time was provided for personal pursuits if desired. I have formed some lasting friendships and eagerly anticipate another such experience in 2027.

    – Melissa H, Northern Italy & The Italian Riviera 

  • “I absolutely LOVED traveling with Kacie. She’s exactly as you think she’ll be in person as she is in her videos. She’s a constant host anticipating any needs, keeping the group engaged, and just provides this awesome energy. The activities were well planned out and paced through the trip. She was always there to offer insight and advice on where to eat, shop, check things out. She also encouraged us to live our trip the way we wanted to enjoy. There’s zero surprise to me that her tours sell out like they do, she’s an absolute gem to travel and spend time with in Italy! Andiamo!”

    – Ellen R

    A Week in Italy

  • The trip was better than I could have imagined. I was nervous to travel with a group of people I didn’t know, but we all quickly became friends and they are now some of my best friends! The two agroturismos we stayed at were spectacular. The views were beautiful I could definitely go back and spend a week relaxing there. It was so nice to have a vacation where I didn’t have to plan everything and I could just relax and enjoy the moment as everything was taken care of.”

    – Jordyn J

    Italian Countryside 

    Touring with Kacie is like touring with your best friend except your best friend has the inside scoop to all of the cute spots and good food! I love being able to be a passenger princess and not have to worry about coordinating anything or making sure everything is going according to plan.”

    Laura S. Christmas Markets of Germany, Austria, & Hungary

    What sets us apart:


    • Curated by Someone Who Actually Lives Here: Nothing is pulled from a catalog. Every hotel, experience, and stop is hand-picked by a team of locals and myself after years of living and traveling abroad.

    • You’re Not Just Visiting – You’re Being Let In: Think family-run farms, local producers, and places you wouldn’t even know how to find on your own. 

    • Small Group, Big Connection: Come solo or with a friend – either way, you leave with lifelong connections and endless memories. Many of my past travelers still talk and meet up to this day.

    • Zero Guesswork, All the Good Stuff: I’ve done the trial-and-error for you. You just show up and experience it.

    • A Balance of Structure + Freedom: Enough planned that you don’t miss anything, enough space that it still feels like your trip.

    • Food That Actually Matters: No tourist menus here. We’ll be having the kind of meals you’ll think about long after you’re home.

    • Support Before, During, and After: From the moment you book to the moment you land back home, you’re not figuring anything out alone. We’ve got a whole support team dedicated to making your trip the very best.

    “I had never really considered a group tour before Kacie. They seemed cheesy. However, I can hardly put into words how wonderful, enriching, educational, and freeing Kacie’s trips are.

    I’ve gone on a different trip for 3 years. Choosing to take my husband on the last 2, and he loves Kacie just as much as I do. He was reluctant at first but quickly grew to appreciate and enjoy all the time, effort, and soul Kacie puts into curating these fantastic trips. Everyone’s needs and desires are considered. Everyone feels heard and understood. And there’s a sense of safety and freedom to let loose and be your genuine self that you have when you’re on a group tour with Kacie. My 3rd tour with Kacie in 2025 was a reunion tour with the majority of our group from 2023. We have kept in contact as a group over the years and the reunion tour was like we never skipped a beat. Just the best experience with the best group of kind humans that created core memories I’ll cherish forever.”

      • Raychale G, Florence & The Italian Riviera Reunion Tour

    “This trip was an absolute dream come true! I love being a passenger princess and having all the details taken care of for me. The places Kacie picked were perfect. We had a great mix of lakes, mountains, vineyards, and cities. We ate delicious food, drank lots of wine, learned history, and experienced Italian culture. We hiked and swam, and sang and dance. And we made lasting friendships. Kacie made everyone feel welcome and taken care of and got to know and spent time with everyone on the trip. If anything went wrong (which nothing truly did), she was always there right away to help and turn the situation into something positive. Her happiness, positivity, fun spirit, and passion for Italy and what she does really made this an unforgettable experience. I will never stop dreaming about this trip!”

      • Kayla A, Dolomites & Northern Italy 

    “First group tour and has never considered a group tour before. My wife has followed Kacie on social and when we were discussing anniversary trip ideas, I wanted to leave the US. Doing a tour with Kacie was the only option she felt comfortable with to make that happen. I enjoyed the trip tremendously. Kacie is a fun vibe. She does a great job connecting with each person individually, making everyone feel seen, valued, and included. She genuinely works to ensure everyone is having a good experience. One of my favorite moments was having Kacie lead a few of us to hang at the jazz club in Florence where she first met her fiancé. Overall incredible trip… highly recommend.”

We’ll be eating at my all-time favorite restaurants (including my fiancé Dario’s!), taking a deep dive into local Tuscan flavors with a food tour and a hands-on pasta class, and soaking in views that still take my breath away.

    FAQ’s

    Who can go on your trips? Who are they meant for?

    My trips are meant for anyone & everyone. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, a pair of friends, or pair of family members, if you are a kind, open-minded human, you are welcome to join my trips.

    What if I’m a solo traveler? I’m scared that everyone else be in pairs!

    I promise you that won’t be the case 🙂 My tours are always a healthy mix of solo travelers and couples. No matter what, we come as strangers and leave as a big group of friends – many of my past travelers (many of whom came as solo travelers!) still stay in touch and even travel with each other to this day!

    What is the age range for your tours?

    You must be at least 18 to join the tours. That being said, my tours always have a mix of age ranges, everywhere from 18-68! Refer to the first bullet point – if you’re a kind human, you are welcome to join 🙂

    How does rooming work?

    The tour price is based on 2 people per room. If you are a couple, pair of friends, or pair of family members that book the tour together, you will be automatically placed in a room together. If you are a solo traveler, you will be automatically placed with another solo traveler in one room (yes, you’ll each have your own bed). Single rooms for solo travelers are available at an added cost, which can be discussed upon booking the tours.

    How do I book the tour?

    On the date and time the tour is set to go live, refresh the tour page and you will then see a booking form replace the tour launch date info box on the right hand side of the page.

    How many spots can I request on the trip?

    You can request up to 2 spots on the trip.

    Are there payment plans available?

    Yes!

    • Monthly payment plan: At the time of booking, $99 down is due onto a debit card or bank checking account (note – credit cards are not accepted). Monthly payment installments are then broken up based upon first withdrawal date that has to happen within 60 days of booking. If you would like to make additional payments with your credit card to reduce installments, you may do so!

    • Manual payment plan: At the time of booking, $450 deposit is due by debit/credit or bank checking. Payments are managed by the traveler with a due date (dependent on the trip) that the trip must be paid in full by.

    How many people are on the trips?

    Each trip will have a maximum of 20 travelers.

    I’m scared.

    Amazing. Do it scared. 😉
