Travel with Us

I began ©Travel with Wendy several years ago with a small group of travelers and a mini-van. From that experience grew a love of traveling in small groups. Also, when I have an opportunity to share the world with new travelers, I do! Well I found fellow travelers who love to learn and travel with others too, meet the team.

Whether it is history, culture, customs, language, art, and food and share with eager explorers! Interested in joining us in 2025? Here are our hosted tours

MAY 23 – 30, 2026

SOLD OUT!!

But more opportunities to travel with us BELOW!

Our journey through France explores the beautiful Saône and Rhône French rivers, the preferred route of traders and invaders alike since the dawn of recorded history. Everywhere there are reminders of the Romans and the greatest empire of the ancient world. There are guided tours to Lyon, historic Vienne, and Beaune, with a wine tasting.

You will be staggered by the engineering genius of the amphitheatre at Arles and the huge aqueduct at the Pont du Gard. Avignon was the seat of the Papacy during medieval times, heralding a century of greatness crowned by the absorbing Papal Palace and its renaissance art collection. Van Gogh created his greatest works in Provence, and all this is set in some of France’s stunning natural beauty.

Join us for a journey through centuries of Venetian-influenced architecture, traditional Croatian hospitality, and the laid-back island lifestyle that makes the Dalmatian Coast one of the world’s most captivating destinations.
