WHAT MAKES SIGHTS AND SOUL TRAVELS DIFFERENT
Going beyond the usual "drive-by" tour, Sights and Soul Travels, LLC offers women quality travel experiences in a safe and fun environment. The tours are unique in their relaxed pace, friendly atmosphere, and their in-depth approach to European culture and history. The destinations chosen for the tours are not the typical tourist spots and they give you a chance to experience the true Europe. The company founder has always been a passionate traveler who appreciates history, art, people, adventure and great food and she loves to share her knowledge and European travel secrets. As a European, she has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the region and its culture. As an experienced world traveler, she understands the needs of women-on-the-road and is committed to making your travel adventure enjoyable, memorable and fun.
Being a small company allows us to offer personalized service, and our enthusiasm and the fresh approach to travel ensures that you will have an exceptional experience, getting a unique glimpse into the country you visit. Hopefully, by the time the tour is over we will be friends, and you will share our love for unique European destinations.
Yolanta Barnes is an European, who has been living in the US for over 20 years. She is a business owner, a speaker, an artist, and a student of life. Yolanta is an enthusiastic and gifted teacher and leader and her bi-cultural approach to Europe is what makes the tours truly unique. Yolanta has traveled extensively throughout Europe, and delights in sharing with others her passion for European travel, art, history, and food.
I believe women travel differently than men do. We like to get to the bottom of issues, take our time to discover and appreciate cultural differences and get to know the people, not only the sights. But we also like to relax and be pampered. The tours which we design combine this kind of cultural awareness with historical explorations, yet they also include activities which make our time in Europe true vacations: spa visits, wine tours, slow walks along beaches and hikes in the mountains, leisurely dinners with good conversations, music and opera performances, dance and cooking classes, and of course laughter, new friends and lifetime memories.
Yolanta is the primary leader on several tours each year. She shares with the group the European insights, drawing on her knowledge and understanding of complex historical and cultural issues. Yolanta brings with her the enthusiasm and appreciation for the arts and history, developed through her many years as an art museum docent.
