Owner, Jacob Dueck, has been a solo world traveler for decades, an educator since 2002 and bringing groups abroad since 2012.
At 19, he saved up his money and flew to Paris by himself and learned how to survive in the unfamiliar. After studying German, French, Italian and Latin he became a high school teacher of Italian, Latin and yearbook. His students nagged him to take them on a trip and so were his two passions for education and travel joined.
God has blessed him with his wife, Kim, and four children. He happily lives and teaches in Victoria, MN.
Squisito works with the the most knowledgeable and trustworthy partners world-wide. Francesco Pagano contributes his rich understanding and enthusiasm for Pompeii on our day tours there. He is one of the proud certified guides in the ancient ruins.
And we always feel at home with the sisters in Rome and Florence.
Grassini Bus has provided us transportation all over Southern Italy. Always clean, comfortable and professional. And of course they observe the Italian law that we stop for an espresso every 90 minutes.
