Our 14-day trip through Italy and Switzerland with Now Journey was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we arrived in beautiful Lake Como until our final days in stunning Tuscany, every detail was thoughtfully organized and exceeded our expectations. Royce, our Tour Captain for Bellagio, Switzerland, and Venice, was fantastic. He was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and attentive, making every location we visited more memorable and enjoyable. Mateo, our Tour Captain in Tuscany, truly stood out by offering an authentic experience. Being local and bilingual in Italian and English allowed him to effortlessly communicate with locals, enriching our trip significantly. His deep knowledge of the region's culture, history, and hidden gems brought Tuscany to life for us. Both Royce and Mateo went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. We can't thank Now Journey enough for such an incredible adventure. Highly recommend to anyone considering a personalized, immersive, and well-curated travel experience!

Unforgettable 13-Day Tour of Spain with Now Journey and Mark Story – A True First-Class Experience! Our recent 13-day small group tour of Spain with Mark Story and Now Journey was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we landed in Barcelona to our final sunset in Marbella, it was a journey filled with discovery, laughter, luxury, and unforgettable moments. We began in Barcelona, where we spent three magical days exploring Gaudí’s masterpieces like the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló. We wandered the Gothic Quarter, enjoyed tapas in hidden gems, and every single day brought a surprise from Mark—whether it was a spontaneous flamenco performance or a sunset rooftop cocktail, he knew how to keep the magic alive. From there, we traveled to Madrid for two action-packed days. Highlights included the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor along with other surprises. Evenings were filled with gourmet dining and lively conversations and many laughs with our fellow travelers. Next up was Granada, and it was a dream. The Alhambra was absolutely breathtaking, and the city’s blend of Moorish and Spanish culture made every moment feel like a scene from a storybook. Mark packed each day with immersive activities, yet it never felt rushed—just perfectly balanced. Our welcome dinner cliff side overlooking the Alhambra was spectacular. In Seville, the charm continued… until Spain’s entire power grid and cellular service went down unexpectedly! But leave it to Mark—he and I jokingly prepared for the "apocalypse" by hunting down bread, water, and essentials. His calm leadership, sense of humor, and focus on guest safety turned what could’ve been chaos into one of the most memorable parts of the trip. After that adventure, we landed in Marbella for well-deserved rest and relaxation at a luxurious beachfront resort. The setting was idyllic, and the tour of the Rock of Gibraltar added a thrilling twist with its monkeys, caves, and panoramic views. Every dinner on this journey was thoughtfully curated—whether at a Michelin-recommended spot or a rustic local tavern, the cuisine and conversation were consistently excellent. Throughout the tour, Mark went above and beyond. His passion for travel, attention to detail, and genuine care for every guest’s experience was evident every step of the way. He catered to every whim with warmth and professionalism, making each of us feel like VIPs. I cannot recommend Mark Story and Now Journey Small Group Tours enough. This was first-class travel in every sense—flawlessly organized, deeply personal, culturally rich, and incredibly fun. We’ve already booked our third adventure, and I can confidently say: if you want to travel deeper, smarter, and with style, travel with Mark and Now Journey. Rich & Charon
