Diana Hechler, President of D. Tours Travel in Larchmont, NY, traces her passion for travel to a childhood in Italy and a father with an “itchy foot”. As a college student, she spent a magical summer backpacking around Europe with a friend and dreamed of running her own travel company one day. In 1999, she opened the doors at D. Tours Travel and started happily planning and producing authentic adventures around the world for her clients.

Ms. Hechler holds a Master’s Degree in Law & Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University and a B.A. from Middlebury College.  In addition to earning various destination credentials, she has been named to the Top 25 Travel Agents list by Travel Agent Magazine.
