A note from Rachael, Founder of For the Story Vacations

Welcome to “La Dolce Vita”

Ciao! My name is Rachael. And let me just say: you made a terrific choice in picking Italy for your next adventure.

Having lived all over Italy since founding my European travel company in 2016, it truly holds a special place in my heart. Where do you even start? The food, the history, the vibrant culture, the warm, passionate people… and views that will take your breath away. Whatever your perfect vacation looks like, Italy has it all.

When I founded For The Story Vacations, my goal was to give people the most fun, authentic, and memorable experiences in Europe. And since then, I’ve been so fortunate to plan customized, bucket list European vacations for thousands of adventurers.

But, over the years, I realized I was missing out on the opportunity to work with lots of amazing people who didn't have the boutique budget for a completely customized trip to Europe.

I’m thrilled to say… “La Dolce Vita” is the solution!

These 8-day, 10-day, and 12-day Italian trip itineraries have been carefully curated from years of “boots on the ground” research and conversations with local experts. This means that when you purchase a “La Dolce Vita” Trip, you’ll experience all the highlights of each city you visit, while still skipping lines and getting to experience local gems…

And all without breaking the bank.

Your “La Dolce Vita” Italian Itinerary is filled with pinch-me moments from start to finish. Soon, you’ll be walking down Rome’s cobblestone streets… taking in the Colosseum with a gelato in hand. Or hearing your footsteps echo in Florence’s stunning Duomo Cathedral.

I cannot wait to share my special Italian travel secrets with you and make your dream trip a reality. Please take a look below at your pre-planned Italian itineraries, and choose the number of days that works best for you.

Get excited for the most epic adventure, and thank you for choosing a small business like For The Story Vacations!

Grazie mille,
​Rachael
