What travelers say


Five-star reviews from Matt’s past clients on Google, word for word.

★★★★★

“I never take ‘big’ or expensive vacations, and I’ve never taken a European river cruise, so I went to Matt for help. I couldn’t have made a better decision! … My girlfriend and I chose the Viking Rhine River cruise, and we have never had such a stress-free and pampered vacation experience.”

“Matt was a pleasure to work with! When we reached out to him to help plan our honeymoon, he asked what our ideal honeymoon would look like. … He even let the resort know it was our honeymoon, and the staff had a bottle of wine and assorted desserts when we arrived to our room. It was perfection.”

Questions


Does using Matt cost more than booking direct?

No. The operator pays Matt. You pay the same or less than booking yourself, often with perks you cannot get on your own.

How fast will I hear back?

A first-look email arrives right after you submit, and Matt calls you within one business day to build the real plan.

When should I book a winter trip?

Antarctic season is November to March and gorilla permits are limited per day, so earlier is better.

Can Matt book something not on this page?

Yes. Matt can book any trip you want, these are simply the ones he plans most. He also specializes in luxury river cruises, bespoke land tours, Arctic and Galapagos expeditions, and small-ship ocean sailings. Pick “Something else” on the form and he asks about it when he calls.

How much do these trips cost?

It depends on the season, the cabin or lodge, and how many of you are going, so Matt quotes your exact dates. You pay the same or less than booking direct, and you see the real price before you commit to anything.
