Laura McDonald is the founder of Your Tuscan Concierge, a boutique travel service specializing in bespoke journeys throughout Italy and Europe. Originally from the United States, Laura moved to Italy in 2006, where a personal adventure became a lifelong passion for the country’s culture, cuisine, wine, and hidden treasures. Over nearly two decades, she has developed deep local knowledge and trusted relationships, allowing her to create authentic, highly personalized itineraries that go far beyond traditional sightseeing.
Laura’s unique background as a former professional dancer, certified sommelier, and interior design enthusiast gives her a distinctive perspective on travel. She thoughtfully blends culture, history, food, wine, and meaningful local experiences into every itinerary, whether planning a romantic honeymoon, destination wedding, luxury wine tour, family vacation, or private European escape. Through her partnership with Holiday Planit, Laura now offers the same concierge-level service and attention to detail for destinations around the world. As an American raising her son in Europe, she effortlessly bridges cultures, helping travelers experience each destination with confidence, authenticity, and ease.
