Why Literary Tours in Europe Are Perfect for You

Imagine joining a group of like-minded women who share your passion for books and travel. You will explore iconic literary landmarks and hidden gems, all while forging connections with fellow book enthusiasts. Picture yourself wandering Bloomsbury in London, sipping coffee in a Parisian café reminiscent of Bridgerton elegance, or roaming Edinburgh’s mystical alleys that echo with Harry Potter magic.

Growing up as a shy and awkward girl, I always clutched a book in my backpack for comfort. Bullied at school and without a safe home, I found solace in my grandmother’s enchanting bedtime stories. Those stories were my refuge, and they sparked my love for travel long before I had a passport. That is why I invite you to journey with me —to share that magical escape with you.
