Marie Collins Vaughan

I design journeys in Egypt and Ireland only—the two places I know completely.

I start by working with you to create an itinerary that matches your interests, pace, and curiosity. From there, I take care of everything—planning, bookings, timing, transport, drivers, guides, and on-the-ground coordination—so the journey runs smoothly from arrival to departure. Apart from the usual access to major sites, when requested I arrange private or out-of-hours visits to key locations—from the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx to the Osirion at Abydos and the Sekhmet Chapel at Karnak—so you experience Egypt in a way most visitors never do. Decisions are made calmly and in real time, based on lived experience rather than headlines, giving you confidence every step of the way.

I also provide practical guidance before you arrive, covering the everyday questions—what to wear, how and when to tip, and local customs and expectations—so nothing feels uncertain once you’re here.

I can arrange to have your entry visa ready on arrival, fast-track you through airport procedures, and clarify all essential details in advance.

Ireland is approached with the same care—stories, landscape, and atmosphere rather than box-ticking. Routes flow naturally, my contacts welcome you, and places are experienced as personal rather than just viewed.

I don’t offer global planning. I offer a truly personalized itinerary, certainty, and continuous care on the ground in two countries where those things genuinely matter.
