WINNER With 20+ years of international travel experience under our belts, we fully appreciate and know how to navigate the ins and outs of traveling—especially internationally—and are here to provide the knowledge and support to make travel to Italy, Europe, and beyond a reality for our clients.
White Lotus Travel Design is a boutique luxury travel agency that understands all too well that no two travelers are alike. What might be perfect for one traveler is often very wrong for another traveler, which is why our focus isn’t just on “the big picture,” but rather on the individuals inside the big picture. We create bespoke travel experiences for our clients to Italy, Europe, and beyond.
