Meet the Owner and Chief Travel Designer

---

Hi, I'm Karen G., Welcome to The Pampered Tourist®.  

I spent over 30 years building customer experience organizations across the globe, and every time I had the chance to take a side trip, I did.  I gave the gift of travel experiences as gifts to my family, and the memories we share are truly priceless. Since then, I have designed more than 150 unique itineraries for my clients,  primarily in Italy, Japan, and France. 

The Pampered Tourist® was born out of my passion and knowledge of global travel and continues to grow, providing amazing one-of-a-kind experiences for discerning travelers and their adult families.  

From intimate couples' getaways to multi-generational adventures across Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and Asia, we handle every detail. Private guides, exclusive dining, VIP hotel recognition, and perfectly paced itineraries designed for comfort and depth. Our curated journeys begin at $15,000 per couple (excluding international flights). 

I am thrilled to help you enjoy the pampering you have earned!
