WHAT OUR TRAVELERS SAY

In their own words

“WAC Travel did us proud!”

The selection of hotels in Madrid and Barcelona were perfect for our family – centrally located and convenient to all our excursions! My favorite activities were the food tour in Madrid. Great food and a wonderful guide! In Barcelona we did a vineyard trip north of town with lunch at a quaint villa and it was fabulous! The whole trip was perfect for the 5 adults and 2 young boys (10 and 13). Couldn’t be happier!
Thanks, WAC!

WHAT OUR TRAVELERS SAY

In their own words

“Everything was seamless”

Transfers (pick-up and drop-off), domestic flights while in country, ferries, tours and tour guides, etc. were excellent all went very smoothly. Loved the app you use/provided that neatly keeps everything we needed at our fingertips. The family table cooking experience you suggested and planned for us was one of the highlights of Naxos. Katarina and her mother (along with our help) prepared and authentic Greek meal which we enjoyed with them in their summer home in the village. What a treat! We appreciate all of your hard work and professionalism. What a memorable trip for our family.

WHAT OUR TRAVELERS SAY

In their own words

“The trip was wonderful”

We were especially pleased with both hotels. The hotel in Florence was a perfect location and so beautiful. We loved recapping our day on the rooftop bar. Stunning views. Our guide in Florence was darling. We thoroughly enjoyed her, and her knowledge. We loved Pompeii and our tour guide was perfect for our group. Informative, fun and kept us on target. We tend to be a chatty group. Lol She even suggested super fun group pictures that turned put great. The remainder of the trip was seamless and no issues. I would highly recommend your agency.

Hilary Altman

FOUNDER & CEO
I match travelers with their dream places. The best trips are fun, life-changing, and leave you connected to the world and each other in new ways.

Sharon Albin

DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
I love experiencing new things and helping others do the same. Morocco has my heart, with its amazing mix of landscapes, architecture, art, and people.

Chrissy VanScoten

HR & BUSINESS DIRECTOR
Life is short and there’s so much world to soak in. Egypt was a lifelong dream, and finally seeing it only made me want to explore even more.

Christine Turoczi

TRAVEL DESIGNER
Travel has always been part of who I am. I love helping people turn dream trips into unforgettable memories they’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Grace Campagna

PRODUCT MANAGER
I studied history, so I love researching places. Finding hidden gems in ancient cities and staying in historic hotels are my favorite parts of travel.

Kimberly Espinosa

TRAVEL DESIGNER
I love speaking the language with locals. Rome is my favorite city for its energy and magic, and it’s where I befriended an artisan who makes mirrors!

Kristin Harwood

PRODUCT EXECUTIVE
Travel is about unexpected moments, like kids blowing bubbles in Innsbruck’s main square at sunset. Everyday life around the world inspires me.

Grace Monteleone

CLIENT CONCIERGE
Travel takes me out of my routine to experience new sights, cultures, and foods. Italy, my motherland, will always be my favorite place to return to.

Katie Watson

PRODUCT EXECUTIVE
Malta is my favorite hidden gem, with sea, history, culture, and food at an affordable price. Make time for the Silent City of Mdina and Valletta!

Julie Koenig

BOOKING AGENT
Travel is an endless adventure. I’ve fallen for India’s people, Italy’s in-the-moment attitude, and Japan’s mix of old and new. Tokyo has my heart!

Sera Lewis

BOOKING AGENT
I love how travel connects you to places and people. Chania, Greece is my favorite spot, but my best memories come back to the people I’m with.

Kelley Ko

PRODUCT EXECUTIVE
As a self-proclaimed foodie, local cuisine is a big part of why I travel. Japan has some of the best food, and its cities stay rooted in tradition.

Gabriela Coffey

PRODUCT EXECUTIVE
My parents instilled a love of travel in me as a baby. My favorite place is Orvieto, Italy, where I studied abroad and became a true ‘local.’

Joy Cunanan

BOOKING ASSISTANT
Seeing clients happy makes this job rewarding. Kind strangers who helped me in Taiwan and Singapore showed me what makes travel so special.

Emma Wallace

PRODUCT EXECUTIVE
In Genoa, a pesto class host told me her dream was to visit New York, where my sister lives. It reminded me that we’re all living someone’s dream.

Venice King

ACCOUNTING ASSISTANT
Travel introduces me to people I’d never meet otherwise. On one trip, our local guide became our friend and even invited us to his daughter’s baptism!

Faye Canillo

OPERATIONS ASSISTANT
My favorite place is Siargao, our first-ever family trip. The beaches were beautiful, but the memories we made together are what I’ll always cherish.

Sarah Kanavos

PRODUCT EXECUTIVE
I lived in Andalucía for two years and made friends from all over the world. Now I help others plan trips that build connections like the ones I made!
