Dream Trip: honeymoon horseback through Ruins at sunset

Joe's dream trip:  I'd love to take my new bride on a horseback ride through the Mayan ruins at sunset!

Joe, let's surprise her in Belize!




Honeymoons can be luxurious or playful, 3* or 5*, but they really should be personal!

So, knowing that his new bride Susie was an avid equestrian, Joe thought a horseback ride would delight her.
We surprised her with a dream trip:
horses for the bride and groom, accompanied by private guide to explore a deserted riverside Mayan ruin in the dusky sunset hours of a June evening in Belize.


For these newlyweds' dream trip, I had also planned fun activities:

*a cave adventure, swimming with a guide, deep into a mountain, to view the Mayan's storied Crystal Maiden.

*a daytrip over the border into Guatemala to the famous ruin, Tikal.

*an overnight in a rustic treehouse in the jungle (followed by a cushy waterfront casita on Ambergris).




Before their honeymoon was done, Susie had caught her first fish,  eaten BBQ lobster sitting in the sand before a coconut-husk fire on the beach, savored new tropical fruits, and tubed down the Mopan river.

But I imagine that sunset horseback ride along the river remains a highlight of her cherished dream trip memories.

Dream trip:Rome's Gladiator school

If you can dream it, I can plan it! 

Email Melanie @ Tough Love Travel to get started! 

2 brothers-age 5 and 7-in Rome for Spring Break.  What's THEIR dream trip?  

Gladiator School, of course! 

They slipped into a tunic, swore the oath, and selected their weapon to become a gladiator for the glory of the Empire!

Dream trip for a family
For this family, the day was a fun mix of play acting and experiential Roman history.    They ventured out of City Center, down to the Appian Way, to explore the catacombs before going to gladiator school.
At gladiator school, they faced off with bags (sort of like a modern day boxer) and they drilled on jumps and jousting.

Dream trip for YOU! 

Gladiator school is not just for kids.  In fact, real history buffs get a priceless experience at the Gruppo Storico Romano!


The docents (aka coaches) at gladiator school will outfit you with tridents, armor, and authentic wooden swords from their collection so you can “step into character” and live like it’s the year 100 AD.   Gladiator school will teach you to master the basics of hand-to-hand combat, describe the classes of society from gladiator times,  and reveal the secrets of Imperial Rome’s gladiatorial games.

During your two-hour lesson at gladiator school, you can also tour the Historical Museum Didactic and rub “galerai” with members of the Historic Group of Rome who specialize in the re-enactment of Roman life.

If you want a dream trip to (and bragging rights from) your trip to Rome, 

gladiator school should do the trick.

Want a custom trip to Italy, doing things that no one else is doing (like Gladiator School?)
