Here's our story!
Hi, I'm Lori Ann, the owner and tour director of every tour offered by Lori Ann's World Tours,llc. I am looking forward to helping you experience Europe in all the best ways! Here's our story of how we got into the amazing world of travel!
First European Travel Experience 2005
My love for travel was ignited when in 2005 I was invited by my sister Kathy to travel with her on a business trip to Italy. Due to holidays and strikes, her work schedule turned into two and half weeks of mostly vacation. Using Monza as our base, we two travel rookies managed to make our way to Rome, Venice and Milan . After I returned home, Kathy continued her "work" trip and sauntered off on her own to Lake Como and Florence.
Couldn't Get Enough!
After that experience we decided we wanted more and started making plans. Together we have enjoyed road trips through Spain, Ireland, Germany, France, Portugal and Iceland which we planned and navigated on our own. Through railways we have also dipped our souls into Hungary, Czech Republic, and Austria. Of course we couldn't end there and started returning to our favorite spots with family and friends.
The thing we loved most is that because of our small group sizes we had so much flexibility and freedom! We took cooking classes, visited markets, relished timeless discussions about great artworks and ancient civilizations. We pitied the large groups passing by as their guide pointed to things from afar off never allowing close up encounters, opportunities to savor the moment or run-ins with locals.
Wanted to Share
Believing that others would enjoy our style of slower, immersive, and meaningful travel we made Lori Ann's World Tours, LLC official in 2012. If our style of travel sounds like something you'd love, please join us! We love expanding our circle of friends!
