Malta: Plan Your Trip!

Your Malta Trip Begins Here

Acre for acre, Malta is about as rich in history as they come. In this tiny Mediterranean nation (actually, an archipelago with three islands of note: Malta, Gozo, and Comino), you’ll find three UNESCO World Heritage sites, some of which are among the oldest free-standing structures left in the world. The capital of Valletta is a medieval gem—a fortified city built by the Knights of St. John but also a European Capital of Culture for 2018, with a new city gate designed by Renzo Piano—and the streets of Mdina are like an open-air museum. But Malta is not the beach destination you might expect—edged mostly by rocky cliffs rather than sandy stretches—and, at times and in spots, it can get overrun by day-trippers from cruise ships, rowdy students studying English, and Brits on package tours.

We can point you to a Malta specialist who delivers private, custom, WOW trips that take you to the most fascinating places and connect you to insider experiences you could never find or access on your own. But be prepared to spend a minimum of $700 per day for two travelers. If that’s doable, click below and complete the questionnaire. Your information is kept private.

Pricing tip: Trips start at $450 for a shore excursion for two travelers, or $700 per day for a multi-day custom itinerary for two.

Your Trip to Portugal Begins Here

This Mediterranean country has seen change in recent years—namely, an influx of new hotels, restaurants, and river ships on the Douro—yet much of the country’s allure is how, in so many ways, it hasn’t changed a bit. You don’t come for world-class museums or enormous palaces but, rather, for the tiny villages in the middle of nowhere—and the old lady there who will check to make sure you’re not lost. But Portugal’s surging popularity can mean crowds, lines, and a tourist infrastructure stretched thin. You’ll need a local fixer to score a room with a view in Lisbon’s hottest hotel, or enjoy crowd-free iconic landmarks after-hours when they are closed to the public, or (rather than being trapped on a boring cruise with 160 strangers) sail up the Douro on a small eco-yacht, sleeping in boutique waterfront wineries and seeing the most scenic parts of the river in just two days rather than seven.

We can point you to a Portugal specialist who delivers private, custom, WOW trips that take you away from the crowds and connect you to insider experiences you could never find or access on your own. But be prepared to spend a minimum of $500 per day for two travelers. If that’s doable, click below and complete the questionnaire. Your information is kept private.

Pricing tip: For a WOW Portugal trip, expect to spend $500 to $1,000 per day for two travelers, depending on level of accommodations, degree of special access, caliber of private guides, and whether you prefer to rent a car or hire a driver.

Colombia: Plan Your Trip!

Your Trip to Colombia Begins Here

Call it a country on the cusp. Colombia’s range of landscapes—rolling hills demarcated by coffee plantations, snow-capped Andes mountains, turquoise Caribbean water, Amazon rainforest, thriving cities, even a desert—combined with its biodiversity and cultural richness make it a country just waiting to be discovered by travelers. With its guerrilla groups turning to peace and crime rates reduced by urban revitalization projects, the issues that once kept people away are largely in the past. Visitors are not yet arriving en masse, and those who do go are greeted with warmth and gratitude. Still, for such a small country, this is a difficult one to get around, and the information you’ll find online is directed at backpackers rather than higher-end travelers looking for enriching experiences.  We’ve sussed out a few experts who have their fingers on the pulse of Colombia’s swiftly changing character—travel planners who can as easily arrange in-depth tours of Medellin’s cutting-edge graffiti as Cartagena’s fine gastronomy.

We can point you to a Colombia specialist who delivers private, custom, WOW trips that take you to the most fascinating places and connect you to insider experiences you could never find or access on your own. But be prepared to spend a minimum of $800 per day for two travelers. If that’s doable, click below and complete the questionnaire. Your information is kept private.

Pricing tip: For a WOW Colombia trip, expect to spend at least $800 per day for two travelers, depending on level of accommodations, quality of transportation, and number of special experiences.

Germany: Plan Your Trip!

Your Germany Trip Begins Here

Did you know that Germany has 20 castles you can sleep in? How about a hop-on, hop-off rail pass that lets you explore the entire country as well as seven of its neighbors? Two hundred long-distance cycling routes, many of them family-friendly? A Bavarian “Beer and Castle” trail that is just one of more than 100 well-signposted and intriguingly themed scenic drives? Add bargain-priced hotels and car rentals and you can see why this is one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in Europe.

And yet, even in Germany, hiring a trip designer is a good investment. Why? Because only someone with inside knowledge can make sure you end up with the best of the best—the most sumptuous of those 20 castles, for instance, or the one that’s right for you. A Germany specialist can also arrange such perks as a private beer tasting, a vineyard picnic, a glassblowing workshop, or a tour of ancient Roman ruins led by a local historian. Finally, a specialist can save you more than time: By steering you toward good-value options and away from the overpriced ones, your trip planner can actually save you money.

We can point you to a Germany specialist who delivers private, custom, WOW trips that keep you away from the tourist crowds and take you to the most thrilling places you could never find or access on your own. But be prepared to spend a minimum of $800 per day for two travelers. If that’s doable, click below and complete the questionnaire. Your information is kept private.

Pricing tip: Trips have a 7-night minimum and range from $800–$1,600 per day per couple or $1000+ per day for families, depending on your choices.

Romania: Plan Your Trip!

Your Romania Trip Begins Here

If your word-association-game answer to Romania is “vampires,” it’s time you learned a lot more about the country. Did you know that it’s home to the largest area of contiguous forest in central Europe, filled with brown bears, lynx, and wolves? That it’s dotted with 13th-century UNESCO World Heritage-recognized villages? That Prince Charles fell so in love with the Romanian countryside that he bought two centuries-old properties there—both of which you can overnight at when HRH isn’t visiting to admire the wildflowers? Trouble is, even Romanians get lost finding their way around, and star ratings rarely tell you the whole story when it comes to the hotels. That’s why it’s so helpful to use a Romania travel specialist who will keep you on the right path, introduce you to the people who will make their country come to life, and point you to the accommodations that deliver the best experience (probably more having to do with garden-fresh meals than thousand-thread-count sheets).

We can point you to a Romania specialist who delivers private, custom, WOW trips that take you to the most fascinating places and connect you to insider experiences you could never find or access on your own. Just click below and complete the questionnaire. Your information is kept private.

Pricing tip: Expect to spend at least $600 per day for two travelers for a trip that includes the loveliest accommodations, the most efficient transportation, the most delicious meals, special experiences, and a detailed itinerary that incorporates not just the must-see sights but the hidden gems too.

Jordan: Plan Your Trip!

Your Trip to Jordan Begins Here

Just 70 years old, Jordan is one of the world’s youngest countries but holds some of its most ancient relics of civilization, including the spectacular Nabatean ruins at Petra, as well as fantastic natural landscapes like the Dead Sea and the red desert of Wadi Rum, made famous in the west through Lawrence of Arabia. Jordan is also a small pocket of relative calm in a region thick with strife. Sure, it’s possible to land in Amman, rent a car, and drive yourself around the country—but without the right travel planner to guide you, you likely won’t get to share a tent with Bedouins, discover the secret to seeing Petra without the crowds, or discuss contemporary Jordanian life with the country’s most experienced guides.

We can point you to a Jordan specialist who delivers private, custom, WOW trips that take you to the most thrilling places and connect you to insider experiences you could never find or access on your own. But be prepared to spend a minimum of $700 per day for two travelers. If that’s doable, click below and complete the questionnaire. Your information is kept private.

Pricing tip: Trips have a 5-night minimum and start at $700 per day for two travelers.

Panama: Plan Your Trip!

Your Panama Trip Begins Here

Panama’s famous canal has certainly cemented the country’s place on the world stage—and its appeal to many cruisers as well. But Panama has much more to offer than just an ocean-to-ocean shortcut. Panama City is a palimpsest of influences, with original architecture dating back to the 15th century; a colonial quarter built by the French and Spanish; and a new downtown, full of high-rises and palm trees that feels a bit like Miami. Outside the city, options range from bird-watching and coffee tours to interactions with indigenous tribes and R&R on white-sand beaches, all with a fraction of the tourists you’ll find in neighboring Costa Rica. But domestic flights can be unreliable, service often isn’t up to international standards, and the most charming and atmospheric boutique accommodations are not easy to pinpoint, so a DIY trip can easily end in disappointment. Intrigued? Contact us to find the right Panama travel specialist to smooth the way for your adventure.

Your Alaska Trip Begins Here

Alaska occupies a unique place in the American imagination as our last frontier, the top of the world, a land of majestic glaciers, rugged men and women, and rivers lined with gold. Connected to the Lower 48 by a 1,400-mile highway, it is home to our tallest peak and our largest national park, almost four times the size of Yellowstone. Alaska is the Iditarod, the Kodiak bear, the northern lights, and the midnight sun.

But Alaska’s magnificence comes with a price. Getting from point A to point B can be expensive and time-consuming, and with most visitors traveling a single highway, a so-called five-hour drive can take all day in midsummer, the season of road construction and, yes, traffic jams. Visitors are often shocked at the price of lodging, meals, and transportation this far north, and disappointed when the bears, a prime tourist draw, don’t turn up at Brooks Falls for their photo op because, well, the salmon are somewhere else.

Factor in unpredictable weather and a mind-boggling wealth of attractions and it’s easy to see why you need help to make an Alaskan vacation the trip of your dreams. The solution is a travel planner with the specialized expertise necessary to navigate Alaska’s distinct challenges—someone who knows the absolute best things to see and do, and how to customize them into an itinerary that works for you.

Here at WendyPerrin.com, that’s my job—to connect you with the human-being travel planner who can make your next trip extraordinary. Fill out your wish list below, and I’ll point you toward the right person to plan your trip to Alaska.

When you submit the form, you’ll be marked as a WendyPerrin.com V.I.P. traveler, and when you’re ready to start planning your trip with one of the Trusted Travel Experts on my WOW List, you’ll get special benefits and my trip-monitoring service too!
