WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR GUIDE?

Why would you want me to plan and guide your private group trip? What can I offer you? These are good questions! You can read my in-depth story on the About page, but here’s the short(er) version: I’m a lifelong Francophile who speaks French, grew up in California, lived in France for awhile and now live in the Utah mountains. Every year, I spend time in France and constantly read, research, and connect with friends and colleagues there. I also continue to travel in the Western US every year, as I’ve done my entire life. My studies led me to a Master’s degree in Art, I have worked in the design industry for 15 years, and wrote a book called Paris by Design: An Inspired Guide to the City’s Creative Side.

After years of being the unofficial go-to travel planner & guide for my friends, family, and online acquaintances, I finally made it official and started guiding trips to Paris and taking on travel design clients. This is something I’m super passionate about——I nerd out over helping people discover under the radar gems, plan itineraries that play wonderfully into their unique interests, and experience the transformative nature of intentional, creative travel. I truly care about each person I work with and want to help them have the most incredible experience possible. And I’d love to help you create your own unique trip of a lifetime.

 “Eva’s planning is thoughtful and thorough, which allowed me to simply enjoy the loveliness of Paris without having to give any thought to logistics. Because of this, I was able to soak in every experience fully. I look forward to another trip curated / guided by Eva, hopefully sometime soon.”

OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS

From choosing a destination, to planning a special itinerary, to making all the arrangements, to guiding you in person during your travels, Eva can be as involved as you would like in making your dream group trip a reality. No more overwhelm, no more spending hours upon hours of research, no more having to keep track of all the tiny administrative details, and no more tourist traps. Instead, you get to enjoy the ease of spending time with your travel companions and the delightful places, meals, and activities that your guide has arranged quietly and thoughtfully on your behalf.

DETAILS

This bespoke service is for groups of 6-12 people traveling together. After contacting us through the form below, we’ll send a questionnaire for you to fill out with your own unique needs and interests. Then you’ll have a consultation with Eva to go over your answers, respond to any questions, and make sure she thoroughly understands your vision for the trip. She’ll then take that information and combine it with intel from her own travels and research, along with intel from her creative contacts who live in the area of your destination, to create your bespoke itinerary. Upon approval, she’ll make the necessary bookings and preparations and then she’ll be there in person as you travel to guide you, translate for you, and take care of all the little details so that you don’t have to. (And don’t worry, she’ll also be discreet and leave you to yourselves when you’re feeling the need for a little alone time.)

Availability for this premium service is limited, so book early if you have your heart set on this luxurious, hassle-free way to travel.

Our areas of expertise: France and the American West

Investment: Starting at $5000 per person, which includes travel costs such as lodging, food, etc.
