My Travel Stories
Climbing the Less Famous Huayna Picchu
The alarm started beeping at 5:45am. I jumped out of bed and started getting ready for the big day. This was the day I would climb Huayna Picchu in Peru’s Sacred Valley.
What is Huayna Pichu?
Everyone knows Machu Picchu, so what is Huayna Picchu and why was I so excited about it? Huayna ... Read more from my Climbing the Less Famous Huayna Picchu story.
Paris: Exploring the Road to France's Revolution
What better way to prepare for a wine cruise in Bordeaux than to spend a day in Paris?
Looking to explore the City of Lights differently than my first visit, I put together a walking tour I called “Road to Revolution.” I walked about five miles, visiting some of the most historic ... Read more from my Paris: Exploring the Road to France's Revolution story.
A Walk on the Wild Side
I’ve never been much of an adventurer but the older I get, the more risks I seem willing to take. On a trip to Dubai, I decided to do the Sky Views Edge Walk. Going for a stroll on the edge of a 770-foot-high building didn’t sound too dangerous; I’m not ... Read more from my A Walk on the Wild Side story.
Dream Anniversary Island Vacation
Matt is the BEST!
Matt made my vacation stress free
Perfect Vacation!
Matt Exceeds Expectations
Matt planned our "dream vacation" to Portugal - our first trip with our 15-month-old and our first vacation in some time.
I thought what I was looking for didn't exist: a luxury farm stay befitting foodies, animals for my one-year-old to see and a heated pool. He found it and it exceeded expectations.
That was just the start. Matt planned every detail of our entire trip and even came to the rescue when we had to rebook the whole trip a day before departure when our little one got sick.
I cannot recommend Matt and Unique Luxury Travels more highly.
Managed to please everyone
Always plans the best trips!
He asks great questions to ensure we get the most out of every trip and truly provides an unmatched level of personal service.
Best in Class
The Perfect Trip to Europe
Matt is a seasoned traveler who is knowledgeable, resourceful, and thorough. If there was something he didn’t know, he would take the time to research it and get back to us right away. Matt respected our desire to plan some things ourselves and he helped fill in the gaps. He got us great rates on hotels, found the best excursions, and even helped make restaurant reservations. His skills shined when he found us a private tour guide to see Stonehenge and figured out the best way to get from city to city. Most importantly he ensured that the trip went smoothly with no mishaps. This was our first time hiring a travel consultant and plan on using him again in the future.
David, Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm thrilled you and Adrienne enjoyed your vacation. I enjoyed keeping up with your posts and seeing how active you were on Facebook! I'm honored to work with travelers like you.
Extraordinary multigenerational journey

A Home Run Vacation
Miracle Worker
I contacted him for help with an all-inclusive in Mexico or the Caribbean. He asked me a lot of questions and took the time to listen to what I was saying. I was holding out on what I really wanted, a Virgin Voyages cruise. I knew it embarked in two weeks and it was sold out. In less than two hours, Matt reserved two rooms for my family with extra sailor loot!
I'd give him 10 stars! He really provides an expert, personalized service. I'll be contacting him again for all my vacations.
Awesome Experience
Fantastic Experience
I believe that I will have an amazing time
A big help!
Very easy to work with.
We finally found the travel advisor right for us!
Matt was thorough and flexible. Our most recent trip was just what we wanted!
He found us great tour guides, just exactly what we were looking for in hotels and attractions, and even made dinner reservations at some great local restaurants that were not expensive - the kinds of places that the locals go for a good meal.
When we missed one transfer, he was right there to help us make sure we still got to do the things we might have missed. I highly recommend him! Can't wait to go on our next trip planned by Matt.
