Christy Danforth

My first love was art. I earned my BA in Art History and History from Dartmouth College, and still work part-time as an education guide at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Cloisters in New York City. My love of art and history first fueled my desire to travel, and now I am passionate about helping others see the world in a deeper way.  

I know how to help travelers understand and appreciate the art and culture of a destination. I can show you towns, cities and the countryside in a way that others can’t by connecting you with specialist guides and fascinating, off-the-beaten-track experiences. For example, I might suggest you visit a church with amazing original frescoes by venerated artists or arrange a private painting class set in the location where a specific artist worked. 

I travel the world to uncover art, culture, and history while staying in the destinations’ most luxurious hotels. With a desire to share these enriching and beautiful experiences, I also blog about my experiences in the https://theartfultraveler.net/. 

As a Tzell Travel Group partner, I can offer my clients all the opportunities one of the largest premier travel groups in the world can provide. These include VIP treatment and special amenities in four- and five-star hotels that may include free breakfasts, spa, and dining credits, early check-in or late check-out, upgrades when available, and other benefits.  

In addition, if a flight is canceled, Tzell’s clout means I can rebook you without your having to wait in line, and for first and business class flights, I can sometimes access discounts that will save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. 

There is nothing more exciting than experiencing the culture and culinary wonders of a new destination, and nothing more relaxing than knowing all the details have been taken care of for you. That is the kind of trip I can arrange for you in Europe and around the world.
