I had an incredible experience traveling solo to Sicily for the very first time! Since this was my first solo trip, safety was a top priority for me, and Shane and his team at Lugos Travel did an exceptional job planning everything. From knowledgeable tour guides to fantastic dining recommendations, they thought of every detail. They also offered options and an assistant for support if needed, which was a great touch. On top of that, I received an amazing photo album that will forever be a treasure from this trip. Thank you again for making this journey so memorable! I’ll definitely be booking with Lugos Travel again.

We recently used Shane and his company for our 10-day trip to Greece in June 2024. Initially, another agency had planned our trip, but it lacked a personalized touch and customized experiences. We collaborated with Lugos Travel to enhance our existing itinerary, and they added exceptional experiences that we wouldn't have considered on our own. They arranged for a photographer to accompany us in beautiful Mykonos, organized a full-day wine tour, and even helped us rent ATVs to explore the stunning beaches. Their attention to detail and excellent communication made the trip seamless and unforgettable.

As a frequent DIY traveler, I typically prefer to design my trips to avoid the "tourist package" experience. I value diving into the heart of a location—walking the streets, meeting local people, and discovering a destination's true character beyond the well-trodden path. Tour companies, in my mind, were always designed for a different type of traveler. That is, until I experienced Peru with Lugos Travel.

This August, I joined Lugos Travel for a journey through Peru, visiting Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and the Nazca Lines. From the beginning, the Lugos team understood my desire to experience Peru authentically, not as a distant observer but as an active participant, yet still have the comfort and convenience of a high end trip. They tailored the experience, balancing the iconic landmarks with intimate, locally-driven moments.

Machu Picchu and Beyond - Each part of the journey—from the bustling towns of the Sacred Valley to the awe-inspiring peaks of Machu Picchu—was crafted to meet my needs as an inquisitive and independent traveler. While we did enjoy seamless logistics (a massive plus), Lugos Travel also allowed for plenty of flexibility, making it feel less like a typical tour and more like a well-supported adventure. For someone who usually shuns organized travel, this struck the perfect balance.

Engaging with Local Culture - Lugos Travel didn’t just deliver me to destinations; they connected me with the soul of Peru. I met artisans in hidden villages, enjoyed meals with locals who shared the stories of their ancestors, and felt the pulse of daily life in ways that reminded me why I love travel. This approach elevated the experience from a checklist of famous sights to a profound cultural immersion.

The Verdict - Lugos Travel shattered my perception of what a travel company could offer. I never felt like a “tourist” peering in from the outside; instead, I felt integrated, engaged, and inspired at every turn. For those who cherish authenticity but also appreciate the support of a professional team, Lugos Travel delivers an experience like no other.

If, like me, you thought guided tours were only for the “other kind of traveler,” I encourage you to give Lugos Travel a chance. You might find, as I did, that they’ve redefined what travel can be.

Shane from Lugos arranged a very memorable vacation to southern France and northern Italy for our 40th anniversary. He made us feel like royalty with his choices of hotels, guides, and drivers. All the hotels were very centrally located and of the highest caliber. Our private guides were all highly knowledgeable and made our activities all the more interesting and relevant. He recommended a few activities that we would not have necessarily done despite the extensive research that we do prior to our overseas trips
.Without Lugos' suggestions, we would've missed some of the more memorable moments of our trip. Lugos Travel will definitely be in the future of our future trips!

I had a Honey Moon trip planned and executed by Lugos to Italy on very short notice. They planned the trip and it was outstanding. Limo pickup at the house to the airport, Hotels, drivers, and guides set up everyday. Guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and always right on time. Hotels were excellent and the whole experience could not be better. I would highly recommend Lugos for any future travel plans.

For our first trip to Europe, we used Lugos to completely handle one week of travel through Italy and on the second week, they provided several shore excursions from our cruise ship. It could not have gone better! They delivered everything as promised. Transportation was on time and pleasant, the hotels were unique and beautiful and the excursions were incredible taking us to secluded ,non-touristy places we never would have found on our own. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and well spoken. The app is robust and extremely helpful. Their pricing is reasonable and Shane and his employees are delightful to deal with. We will be using Lugos for our trips in the future and I would HIGHLY recommend them. Well done Lugos!!

A very close friend, whom I trust deeply recommended Shane and Lugos travel for our dream vacation of Greece and Italy. Shane and his team interviewed us, listened to us and applied every single thing we were looking for in an experience to make this vacation perfect.

He scheduled every single detail that you can imagine from the minute we were picked up at our home to the minute we are to be dropped off at our home.

The shuttle services, tours, museums, resorts, Michelin star restaurants, etc could not have been more perfect. I highly recommend this company to plan your dream vacation.
