Italy 2022

April 2, 2022 to April 8, 2022

Italy is one of my favorite places in the world. From the delicious foods, to the incredible culture and history, mouth watering gelato and unexpected delights around every corner, it is a destination I look forward to visiting time and time again. 

Join me next Spring as we explore Venice, Tuscany and Florence with a thoughtfully planned itinerary and custom experiences you won't find on any other trip. Chelsey custom designs every detail from beautiful accommodations, menus, to tastings, and unique activities. Guilt Trips are simply extraordinary trips for extraordinary women. 

What should you expect?

  • Expect to participate in hands on experiences that you can only do in specific regions of the world.
  • Expect to walk the grounds where your food and wine have been carefully grown.
  • Expect to see the most stunning villages you've ever seen.
  • Expect to have relaxed, leisurely meals and flavorful wine tastings.
  • Expect comfortable lodging and delightful welcomes.

"Guilt Trips" were designed for women who are interested in connecting with other female travelers and sharing memorable experiences while safely traveling with an educated travel advisor. 

"Guilt Trips" were created to empower women to explore the world and get out of their comfort zone guilt free while delighting in unexpected thoughtful gestures around the world.
