European Sojourns

Founded in 1998, European Sojourns creates custom travel itineraries for vacations in Europe. The Chicago-based travel service plans trips for honeymoons, family vacations, milestone celebrations, and personal getaways. Specialists learn about clients' interests, travel history, preferred pace, and group needs before developing an itinerary. They can book hotels, arrange transportation, hire guides and drivers, and reserve tours, activities, and other travel arrangements through overseas partners. Each itinerary is developed for the individual trip rather than reused. The service also handles travel logistics and responds to questions before and during the trip, with follow-through until travelers return home. European Sojourns works with European suppliers and hoteliers as part of its trip-planning process.
