United
Kingdom
“This
summer, see London in a different light: privately and behind the scenes.
With my onsite team, you can visit Tower of London at night with a viewing
of the crown jewels or obtain behind-the-scene access to the changing of
the guards.” – Sharon Ritter, Protravel - Woodmere, NY.
Italy
“Kicking
off the season with the international opera festival in the ancient Roman
arena under the stars, Verona offers culture, history, remarkable cuisine
and relaxation. My tip: Enjoy classic Venetian cuisine and wine at the
Trattoria Tre Marchetti. Also, take two days to visit Lake Garda surrounded
by medieval villages each distinguished by charming castles, atmospheric
shops and restaurants.” – Suzanne Homme, Protravel - Palm Desert, CA.
France
“Just
two hours east of Bordeaux – also known as the cradle of mankind – the
Dordogne is pristine to this day and offers 15,000 year-old cave art, the
medieval town of Sarlat, stunning troglodyte villages, medieval fairytale
chateaux, history, magnificent views, sumptuous French gardens, and boutique
hotels. My favorite: The Dordogne is a gem of the French Renaissance and
home to great wines, truffles and foie gras.” – Howard Lewis, Protravel
- Beverly Hills, CA.
Germany
“This
summer, experience Germany’s Romantic Road – fly into Frankfurt, rent a
car and drive all the way to Munich or vice versa. The Romantic Road combines
hospitality, nature, art and culture, and delicious food with historical
festivals and entertainment. My tip: Visit the vineyards of the Tauber
valley, explore Augsburg, and see the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle.” –
Loretta Carson, Protravel - New York, NY.
China
“Shanghai
is the place to be for authentic cuisine, luxury accommodations, and activities
for any preference. My favorite: On weekend afternoons, go to the north
side of the People’s Park where young and old from all over China participate
in the marriage market – the avenue walls are covered in hundreds of resumes
and messages indicating age, height, schooling, job and salary.” – Arlene
Feen, Protravel - Miami, FL.
Switzerland
“In
diverse and enchanting Switzerland, active travelers can take ‘the 5 lakes
hike,’ stand up paddle on Lake Lucerne, or fly over a Swiss gorge on ‘flying
foxes.’ My favorite: Bath in the spas of Bad Ragaz, taste wine in the Levaux
Vinyard, and enjoy a fondue tasting in Emmental or a candlelight dinner
on an Alpine mountain top. My tip: Celebrating its 150 anniversary, Bucher
Travel’s bellboy service is Switzerland’s best kept secret!” – Dini Schild,
Protravel - Palm Desert, CA.
Hong
Kong
“Boarding
from Central Pier or Kowloon Public Pier, charter a beautiful private junk
to explore Hong Kong and its over 260 islands during the hot summer months.
Sai Ying Pun in the Western District of Hong Kong is the best place for
foodies seeking a unique and vibrant neighborhood offering a variety of
restaurants and bars, art galleries and boutiques. Make sure to get a custom
tailored suit in just 24 hours.” – Patricia Chungsathaporn, Protravel -
New York, NY.
Spain
“This
summer, travel to Mallorca and San Sebastián. On Mallorca, stay
at a private villa or luxury hotel, enjoy the white beaches and activities
for young and old. My tip: Visit the fragrant citrus plantations in Fornalutx.
San Sebastián is known for its beaches, bayfront promenade, upscale
shops, and exquisite restaurants offering regional specialties.” – Ann
St. Hilaire, Protravel - New York, NY.
Japan
“Spend
your summer vacation in Japan to experience one of the biggest UNESCO World
Heritage sites: Mount Fuji. Easily accessible from Tokyo, you can reach
the top of Japan’s sacred iconic mountain in a two day climbing program.
The summit is attainable with guided assistance for any reasonably fit
individual during climbing season, July 1-August 31.” – Roxana Lewis, Protravel
- Beverly Hills, CA.
Australia
“Australia
is known for its food, luxury accommodations, and most of all its unique
wildlife. My favorite: Take the scenic countryside drive from Melbourne
to Phillip Island to watch the ‘penguin parade’ of countless little fairy
penguins marching up the shore to their habitats after a whole day of fishing
out on the sea.” – Honey Moss, Protravel - Miami, FL.
“My
tip: Interact with platypuses at the Healesville Sanctuary.” – Roseann
Iovine, Protravel - San Diego, CA.
