Dottie McCarthy

Dottie was a pleasure to work with! She is eager to accommodate your every need for your trip and her attention to detail is excellent! A plus experience and would definitely use her again as an agent!

Dottie did a fabulous job on my trip to Italy!!!!! Five Stars All The WAY!!!!!She was knowledgeable beyond measure, made all food reservations and tours. Our food was top notch and one of my favorites was (Da Massi).Our Hotel in Rome (Hotel Indigo) was beautiful. Tuscany (Terre Di Nano) was a dream! Cortona was the nicest apartment I have ever seen, and you walk right out to shops, bars and restaurants.My family and I will use her again and again! The time she spends on research is amazing and she picked perfectly every single time.Dottie is a keeper!

Dottie planned the most incredible Italy adventure for a girls' getaway! She was attentive and responsive to our wishes and offered insight based on her travel experience that made our trip relaxing and memorable! We spent a few days in Rome, exercising flexibility as we landed on the day of the Pope’s funeral. We stayed at Hotel Indigo Rome, which exceeded expectations. The location and level of service were exceptional. She booked lunch and dinners for each day, and the meals did not disappoint. We had the best Roman pasta dishes at Taverna Trillusa and Giada was right when she said that Mariuccia is always her first stop in Rome. She arranged for a private driver to show us the sights, a tour of the Colosseum, and a Vatican Tour. We picked up a car at the airport and headed for Tuscany. We spent four nights at Terre di Nano; highly recommended and worth the wait to get a booking. We had a charming apartment that was part of a villa with the prettiest grounds. We explored four hill towns, dinner at Daria’s in Monticceillo, a cellar tour at Da Ricci in Montepulciano, a tour of a young, organic winery and farm in Montalcino, which was a fun change of pace! We spent our last few days in Cortona in a lovely apartment in the center of this bustling town. We dined at Osteria Del Teatro and it was amazing! The shopping and small cafes were legendary. I would highly recommend Dottie if you are looking for a planner that creates a trip that is reflective of you! No cookie-cutter tours, just high-level personalized service. It was a trip that I will never forget!

The experience with Dottie was fantastic, unique and unsurpassed! We had made requests that Dottie was able to satisfy everything that my friends and I asked for. Professional, attentive to the customer and attentive. I will recommend it to my customers. You can't find people like that.
