Julie Durso

I started traveling at a young age, so a plane seat has always been like a second home. After studying abroad in Venice and guiding tours around Italy and the rest of Europe, I love to share my passion and see the places that are so special to me through the eyes of my guests.

Julie Durso

I am one of the lucky few to have found the travel industry at the start of my career. I love adventure and started my career guiding people on their hiking and cycling journeys all over Italy and the rest of the world. Now I get to share my expertise by creating unique and special trips for my clients. 

In my own time, I travel every opportunity I can. I love traveling with all my senses - weather it's feeling the wind in my face from the deck of a boat on the Adriatic, soaking my feet deep in hot Greek sand, waking to the sound of ancient bells ringing in Italy, or eating whatever the locals eat.

My hot picks

My top tips

  • Always include a mix of activities - lots of things you're passionate about, but also throw in a few things that might scare you or make you excited. I love trying new things while traveling and usually have the guts to try them while I might not at home!

  • In Italy, remember that being late is normal! Take the time to slow down and enjoy that long lunch or the nap that's calling your name after said long lunch :)

  • Consider traveling to Europe in the "shoulder season" (May and October) or off-season (November, January, and February). Hotels have a lot more availability and you can enjoy the museums with way fewer crowds.
