Travel is truly a wonderful thing

Travel draws us into new experiences

My favorite aspect of traveling is experiencing first hand how other people live, work, and see the world. It’s one more piece of the puzzle. We get to learn more about the human story that shapes us all. I always come back from a trip with a little deeper knowledge of myself and the wider world around me.

What Our Clients Say…

My wife and I have worked with Jack at Guidester now on two trips in Europe. One was a self guided adventure in Ireland and the second was a trip to Italy where he personally led the adventure. And in both cases he has put us in the must see places.

Jack planned the itinerary, accommodations, and rental cars for our three-week trip to Italy. His recommendations made our trip so special! We stayed at hotels and bed/breakfast inns that we never would have found on our own with great locations and spectacular views.

Jack helped us with a trip we are taking to Italy, France and Spain. Not only is his expertise top rate but he is very easy to work with. This took a lot of details off our plate. He also booked a skip the line tour of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Would highly recommend his services and will use him again.

We had a wonderful trip planned by Guidester. They helped find a lot of great things to see in the Black Forest region of Germany and western Austria. Many we never thought of and ended up being our favorite parts of the trip. The guide had lots of helpful tips and some of the best recommendations came from it. Definitely recommend!!

We recently traveled to Spain, France and Italy, and had the time of our life, largely due to Guidester. There are so many sites to explore, and Guidester helped us narrow the field and provided us direction. Most of all, the guide gave us confidence that we were seeing the sites that would interest us.

Jack and Guidester are fantastic! Jack walked us through what made sense for our itinerary. Every recommendation he made turned out to be fantastic. He took care of everything. He found all the planes, trains, and automobiles, Each hotel he recommended was above expectation and all the guides were professional, prompt and personable. Top notch company and travel agent! Could not recommend more!
