From her first overseas trip at twelve, Fiona Boileau knew she had a severe case of wanderlust. After graduating from high school, she travelled annually until she transformed her passion into a fulfilling career as a travel advisor. Now, with 29 years in the industry, Fiona's incredible knowledge, meticulous planning, and attention to detail ensure that every holiday she creates is a labour of love that results in an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience.
Her extensive travels have enriched her with invaluable insights into luxury hotels, once-in-a-lifetime moments, and thrilling adventures in more than 50 countries around the world, including destinations as diverse as Cambodia, South Africa, and India. But her heart always returns to Italy. "Italy is my favourite. It offers everything—from romance to history to incredible sightseeing. The people are warm and welcoming, and there’s a perfect itinerary for every kind of traveller," she says.
Fiona has journeyed from moped rides through Florentine vineyards to glamping in Sri Lanka, gathering a wealth of knowledge to back up her industry expertise. She fondly recalls an APT Christmas cruise through Europe’s picturesque riverside villages. “The Christmas markets were so much fun, sipping mulled wine and exploring the stalls of beautiful foods and souvenirs. The snowflakes made it all the more festive, and APT kept the holiday spirit alive on board," she says. These firsthand experiences allow her to share real-world experience and add hidden gems to her clients’ itineraries.
Romantic getaways also hold a special place in Fiona's heart. Annually, she and her husband escape to reconnect. "I think we manage a mix of sightseeing and romance very well, and I love adding this balance to all my clients’ holidays," she says. Indeed, Fiona thrives on creating extraordinary experiences for her clients, with one standout memory involving a magical proposal in an Italian vineyard. "My client had an idea but didn't know how to put it together. We had so much fun planning, and luckily, his partner said yes," she recalls.
