THE ADVENTURE AWAITS

ABOUT THE TRIP
Group A : May 16th- May 23rd   /  Group B: May 24th - June 1st 

Does this sound familiar. “How am I going to get THAT back home? It won’t fit in my carry on.” Well, We (Lance Jackson, David Ecton from Parker Kennedy) have found a way, for you to shop the delightful street markets of Florence, go off the beaten path to explore where the Antique dealer find their discoveries. While enjoying Italian countryside, like a local.

We are we’re delighted to introduce you to our antique dealer friends in Italy. Who have graciously, helped up put together a trip to Italy that is not just only a buying trip but a trip packed with experiences not offered anywhere else. Would you like to visit the factory that once made Chanel handbags? Would you like to scour through the Italy country side to find the perfect piece of furniture or porcelain collection, and before we settle in at night to dine at private dinner hosted by the family that owns a castle once belonging to the Medici family. We have been given access to dig through the attic of this amazing home that is centuries old.

“But how am I going to get my treasures home?” While you are shopping, our Italian friends will be negotiating on your behalf. Help you with the Italian translation, most importantly we handle all aspects of shipping your goodies back to Atlanta, including documenting your purchases, receiving them here in Atlanta and preparing them for pickup or delivery to you. We have made arrangements for you to have access to a shared container. Items purchased along the way will be picked up, packed and placed in the container for you. The only thing you have worry about is picking it up in Atlanta.
