LUXURY SMALL GROUP TRAVEL
Hosted Travel Group
That’s the idea behind Mer Bleue’s luxury small group travel experiences. These are small, thoughtfully curated group journeys—personally hosted by me, Dianna. You’ll join an intimate group of travelers on a trip that feels less like a tour and more like a shared discovery. I’ll take you to the places that have left a lasting impression on me—uncovering hidden corners, fostering local connections, and introducing you to favorite finds that make each destination unforgettable.
We’ll skip the crowds in favor of charming back streets, dine where I know the chef by name, and stay in properties that welcome us like old friends. From Europe’s most enchanting towns to soulful, far-flung escapes in Africa, these hosted small group tours feel immersive, personal, and deeply rewarding.
Truly connect with the rhythm and charm of a destination instead of just checking off the sights.

With Mer Bleue, we go beyond the bucket list. These immersive travel experiences are about rhythm and resonance — standing beneath a baobab tree in Zambia as the sun sets, or slipping down a quiet Venetian alley that feels like it was waiting just for us. Each destination is chosen because it moved me — and now, I get to share it with you. Whether it's small group travel to Africa or a hidden gem in France, it’s about connection: to the place, the people, and something within yourself.
Yes, the details are handled—elegant accommodations, seamless transfers, meaningful experiences—but that doesn’t mean it’s rigid. You’ll have time to linger in a museum, nap by the sea, or wander a local market. These hosted small group tours are curated to give you both structure and spontaneity—because real luxury is the freedom to slow down. Each itinerary is designed to feel effortless but never rushed.
This is small group travel at its most personal. These aren’t crowded tours or anonymous groups. They’re intimate gatherings of curious, kind travelers who value authenticity and beauty. Whether we’re toasting a remarkable day around a private dining table or sharing stories on a scenic drive, there’s a sense of camaraderie that unfolds naturally. Whether you're coming solo or with a friend, you’ll be warmly welcomed—and likely leave with a few new travel companions for life.
“Every tour, transfer, hotel and leisure activity recommendation was simply perfect. It was all so seamless and hassle free, I cannot thank her enough for all her planning and suggestions that were right-on!”

FALL 2027
There is something undeniably special about Tuscany in the fall. The vineyards glow in shades of gold and garnet, the air carries the scent of harvest, and centuries-old hill towns come alive with the rhythms of the vintage.
Mer Bleue is beginning to craft a thoughtfully designed journey through the heart of Italy’s wine country, one that will invite travelers to slow down, savor extraordinary wines, and experience Tuscany in a way few ever do. Expect private tastings with renowned producers, long lunches in storied countryside estates, and moments that reveal the region’s deep connection to land, tradition, and table.
Details are still taking shape, but this will be a small, carefully curated group designed for travelers who appreciate great wine, beautiful places, and meaningful experiences shared with like-minded company.
If Tuscany in the fall sounds like your kind of journey, reach out now to join the priority waitlist and be the first to receive details as the itinerary unfolds.
