Hello, my name is Carol Ascione Hilton, and I take great pleasure and pride in being your Travel Consultant and expert to Europe and all global destinations. Being raised in Italy, I have a passion for all things Italian and European, and I would love for you to experience it as a local does. Immersion in local culture offers the best authentic adventures. I often recommend to my clients that they "get lost" in the small towns, giving time to languish along the streets and countryside exploring all that is hidden to the typical tourist. Your trip will be planned from beginning to end, making sure that you have plenty of free time on your own, allowing you to discover those little shops and cafés to soak up all the local culture you desire. I specialize in creating comprehensive and personalized itineraries, from beginning to end. Listening to my client's needs and desires, I work diligently making you my top priority. Offering exceptional service to all my clients has set me apart and my continued client referrals are testament. Whether you want to tour multiple countries, visit just one city, cruise on the high seas or experience the intimacy of visiting small villages and towns whilst River Cruising, I can make it all happen. My goal is to always exceed what I promise.

Samantha Barber has always had a passion for travel, which led her to enlist in the United States Navy with dreams of “seeing the world.” Though her Navy journey took her only as far as South Carolina, she made the most of every opportunity to explore the Lowcountry. After serving throughout her and her husband’s military careers, they settled in his hometown of Las Vegas, where they raised their two daughters and continue to make their home.

Samantha and her family are avid baseball fans, with a goal to visit all 30 MLB stadiums. So far, they’ve checked off 18, with Fenway Park in Boston, MA standing out as their favorite. For them, each new stadium visit isn’t just about the game—it’s about the city and, of course, the food. They aim to complete their stadium bucket list in the next few years, adding new adventures to their family’s story along the way. After retiring from state service in 2022, Samantha has channeled her passion for planning into creating unforgettable adventures for herself, her family, friends, and clients. Her love for international travel blossomed when her daughter invited her on a women-only guided tour of Italy. This experience was a game-changer, with its thoughtfully crafted itinerary, cultural immersion, and seamless, hassle-free planning. Samantha delighted in activities like truffle hunting (a favorite), cooking classes, bookmaking workshops, and the intimacy of small-group travel. Samantha is committed to tailoring every journey to match her clients’ unique interests and needs. She looks forward to creating seamless, memorable experiences that turn dreams into unforgettable adventures.
