What They Said
Traveling with Steve was great!   He knows all the good attractions, restaurants, and every little nook and cranny of Paris.  We enjoyed things that I never knew existed in Paris.  Maria D., Floral Park, N.Y.

Steve made our dreams come true.  We never thought we would ever have the opportunity to visit Italy, but Steve made all of the arrangements, planned a terrific itinerary, selected great restaurants, and made it a pleasure to travel to Italy.  Maria D., Floral Park, N.Y.

His advice was right on in terms of where to stay in Paris.   It was a lovely 3-star hotel that no one I know of has ever heard about.  But we were right smack in the middle of everything and I still can't understand why the price was so low.   Peter G., Syosset, N.Y.

The restaurant selections were out of this world.  
Usually, six to eight of us would go out to dinner every night.  I don't know how he found these places, but some of the places the Professor took us were some of the best meals that I have ever had in my life, and most of them cost under 30 euros.  Patricia K., Virginia Beach, VA.

Traveling with a small group was so much fun!   Going on a tour to Italy is wonderful, but the people we met and the friends we made were even more wonderful.  Rob & Robin, Setauket, NY.

The side trip to Monet's house in Giverney was great.  It wasn't like one of those typical organized tours.  We avoided the crowds and saw what we wanted to see at our pace.  Bobby & Veronica K., Los Angeles, CA.

What I really liked about the trip was that we had the time to "discover" parts of Paris that I never heard about.  For instance, there is a museum of Medical History in Paris that I visited and it was fantastic.   The Professor helps and encourages you to find these types of things.     Robin A., Sacramento, CA.

We met
one of Steve's friends in Paris and wound up having dinner at her apartment, in full view of the Eiffel Tower.   The next night we had dinner at her favorite "secret" restaurant - it was wonderful!.  Amy P. and Greta J., New York University

What fun
we had when Steve took us to a house party in Paris.  We met so many interesting people from both Paris and other parts of the world.  Lenora & Mike, Syracuse,  N.Y.

It was a great bargain to travel with Steve.  He never tried to "upsell" us on any other travel packages, he didn't accept tips.  He gave us more than we actually thought we were going to get. Maria K., Tampa, FL

The best part of the trip  was going out to dinner every night with our traveling companions.   We really enjoyed dining in the places Steve took us to and it was so much fun meeting everyone else on the trip.   Rhonda V. and Kristen K., Columbia, S.C.

This tour was different than others we have gone on.  I like the idea of not being ushered on and off a bus.  We took local transportation, high-speed trains between cities, and stayed at small family-owned hotels.  We truly felt that we got a better "taste" of Italy.  Gina R., Richmond, VA.


Travel to Paris and Italy With Me
Steve Solosky, The Traveling ProfessorArthur Frommer's Budget Travel Magazine calls Professor Solosky one of Budget Travel's "Savviest Experts". Budget Travel Magazine, April 2011, page 32

Join me, Steve Solosky, the Traveling Professor (yes, I really am a professor), and let me introduce you to my exciting world of people and places you've always dreamed about.

I've been traveling to Paris on a regular basis for about 10 years now.  Sometimes, I feel like I know it better than my hometown, New York City.   Over the years I have visited nearly every attraction in Paris that you can think of.   I have also visited many "attractions" that I am sure that you have never heard of.   I enjoy keeping up on the latest travel to Paris developments and issues and passing them on to you as I receive them.  I will also show you how to spend less money and enjoy Paris more.

I recently began bringing small groups to tour Italy.  Usually we travel to Rome, Florence, and the Tuscan hill towns of Siena, and Lucca.  We also visit Pisa and the Chianti countryside.   Everyone loves traveling to Italy. 

This website contains a wealth of information about travel to Paris.  Probably the most popular item is the free Paris travel guide that you can download immediately.  It has been distributed over 10,000 times now and I get positive comments on my free Paris travel guide almost on a daily basis.   TravelingProfessor.com also is a resource for great travel links, a travel forum, and some specialized articles on the Paris travel blog.

You'll notice that there is a minimal amount of paid advertisements and promotions on this site, so don't worry about being blasted with all sorts of ads and pitches.   It's just a place where we can all share our thoughts about travel to Paris and Italy.
