From Our Customers
I cannot say enough about our memorable vacation planned by Creative Edge Travel! We were immersed into the beautiful world of Italian culture, including breakfast with a local artist, dinner at an ancient olive grove, cooking homemade pasta with a new friend at a gorgeous farmhouse and, best of all, making new friends in a foreign country. We could never in a million years planned something like this on our own. Her wealth of connections to locals in Italy is truly remarkable. Creative Edge is the hidden secret to plan an Italian trip full of hidden treasures. We can't wait for Sierra to plan our next trip!
