Artful Travel

Travel enriches who we are. On Maverick Travel trips I have learned countless history lessons, gained political insights, learned about cultural achievements and experienced some of most beautiful works of art, natural wonders and amazing human beings. Pinch me moments. Bonnie Fitzgerald, 2018

Many of the daily adventures on Maverick Travel trips are UNIQUE, one-of-a-kind opportunities with some components not available to the public. We offer intimate hassle free travel, professional escorts and university educated guides, wonderful accommodations, and street-level cultural engagement based in the world of art, architecture and archaeology. We make memento art-works along the way in workshops, visit artist studios, and enjoy fine food sampling, wine tastings and of course mosaics! Our trips are designed to inspire, educate and entertain. We explore the worlds of art, architecture, archaeology and natural wonders. All of our trips are grounded in a sense of community, and often the community of mosaic art.

Maverick Mosaics has lead travel adventures to to Paris, the Lorie Valley and the Perigord region in France (2013, 2016 & 2019), Spain (2014), Italy (2015 & 2018), and Ireland (2017). All were all amazing trips, thanks in large part to the expertise and planning of our travel and logistics partner A La Carte Travel.

A La Carte Travel promotes the values of understanding the world we live in through experiencing and learning about different cultures.

What our Travelers have to say about our trips:

Every time I try to decide which MM trip I enjoyed the most: SW France, Ireland, Italy/Slovenia, or NW France…there’s no doubt! They were all FAVORITES!  Thank you again for putting together these fully amazing trips! And tour guides of the caliber of Bruno were appreciated too! 

Having been on 4 of Maverick’s trips we have always experienced a perfect balance between structured, educational travel and free time to explore on our own. We also feel we get a better feeling of understanding of the countries we are privileged enough to visit due to your plans to balance ‘tourist’ spots with truly unique ‘hidden gems’ of the area, which is sincerely appreciated. – Don & Susan

With Bonnie and Ken we all were taken care of and enjoyed a superior sensory, intellectual, and emotional experience.  My feet are still floating above the ground. Thank you Bonnie and Ken for another life treat. — Camy 

At this writing our trip to Spain and Portgual is on hold as these countries are only allowing essential travel from US across their boarders. We are closely monitoring the “Covid-19” situation and our trip dates may change accordingly. We are cautiously optimistic we will take this trip before the end of 2021.
