About Changing Gears Journeys
Changing Gears Journeys is owned and operated by long-time friends, Suzanne McNeilly and Jeni Cate – two women with a zest for life and the ability to find adventure wherever they go. This year, they are celebrating their 15th season of taking small groups on unique, exciting, and memorable tours through Italy, France, British Columbia, and Washington State.
We would love to take you on your next grand adventure. Let us show you what we have discovered exploring unique places as well as places that are as endless as time itself. We are dedicated to taking care of everything, most importantly you.
Tours 2013: A Weekend in Provence
June 7-9, 2013
Seabrook, Washington
—
Café life is one of France’s great institutions and we want you to have a front row seat on the terrace of a café and enjoy the passing scene – at least in your imagination. Once again, Changing Gears Journeys is offering local Washington State cooking get-aways. Our first weekend is going to be at the resort town of Seabrook on the Washington State coast. The house we have reserved has a distinctive French flair, so we are offering a French inspired cooking class.

Tours 2013: Women’s Tuscan Villa Escape

September 9 – 20, 2013
Porto Ercole, Italy
—
Imagine sitting on a terrace of an enchanting Italian country estate looking over the silvery green leaves of olive orchards that gently slope down to a small village filled with colorful, old buildings, that just happen to sit right on the edge of the beautiful blue Mediterranean. And, of course, you are sipping one of the great red or white wines produced in this region. And from here you will take day trips to the Tuscany that most Americans don’t see as well as spend 2 days in Rome. This tour guarantees that you will leave your heart in Italy and truly become Italian.
