This review is a little delayed, but we used WAC and Hilary for a 3 week trip to Italy and Greece this past summer. I have since recommended them to several friends and would say using them was the best decision we made! Everything went so smoothly and their selections for hotels and activities were amazing. Every driver showed up on time as expected, their instructions for getting places and how to spend our downtime were detailed and very helpful. This trip wouldn't have gone so well without them and we are so grateful! Of course I highly recommend them!! read more

Hilary/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! read more

Hilary Altman, and her superb staff at WAC Travel designed three individualized European trips for my wife and I. The trips have been nothing short of wonderful. WAC, for us, took all the anxiety out of travel, and left us to enjoy the trips immensely. WAC picked great hotels, easy to use travel connections, and beautifully thought out destinations for us. If you are planning a special trip to Europe, I strongly recommend you consult Hilary and her staff at WAC Travel. read more

I can't express enough what a phenomenal trip Hilary and her staff put together for our family. The entire trip was amazing and so well done. We thoroughly enjoyed all the excursions, with everything being top notch including every tour guides. We would highly recommend WAC travel to anyone who wants a stress free, well done and fun vacation! Thanks again, read more

We had an amazing time on our two week vacation to Italy while exploring 5+ cities. I have some mobility needs and it was a huge victory for me to complete a trip like this and Hillary listened to what my needs were and created an outstanding trip for my husband and I- We highly recommend WAC's services, it was easy to get from one location to the next, and we felt we saw so much of Italy. The day trips helped us feel like we explored so much more than the 5 cities we stayed at! We would recommend WAC travel to any family member or friend; we feel we got our money's worth + more for this trip. WAC's efficiency and organized services are worth every penny- We couldn't have planned this ourselves. Thank you for a wonderful trip Hilary & WAC Travel. read more

We have never left a negative review however our treatment was abhorrent and want to warn others before they lose thousands like us. We booked a trip to Italy in 2019 with Hilary (with my husband intending to propose). Unfortunately COVID came and we had to postpone our plans. We were told we would not be refunded our trip in its entirety and that $2000 would be retained and utilized for another trip. When planning an 8 day trip to France this year (with one day being a family wedding) we reached out to Hilary to help us plan our vacation. Upon hearing that we would need to stay at the wedding venue for one night that was pre-paid by the groom's family, Hilary emailed us demanding an explanation, citing how our communication could be better and left us with "we are not going to be able to help you with this one." read more

My husband and I could not be more pleased with the service we received from WAC travel! Roberta and her team were amazing. They were patient and knowledgeable and set up a trip for us to Sicily that we will remember for a lifetime. Every detail was taken care of. The itineray became my playbook as we explored every destination. And the app they use helped along the way! Every recommendation for dinner or a meal or an excursion was excellent. Every driver was courteous and on time and wonderful. We can't wait for our next adventure. And will certainly be calling Roberta and her team again. read more

WAC travel has planned 3 EuropEan vacations for us. Each one has been spectacular. They make travel so easy and give great recommendations for places to visit and things to do. Every hotel we have stayed in have been perfect for our needs. We just returned from Germany and it was spectacular. Thank you to Hilary and her team for providing us with such an amazing vacation for us. We won't travel overseas without you! read more

Having used WAC travel for four trips to Greece, I can say that they are the best in terms of planning, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Working directly with Hilary was always a pleasure and she quickly zoomed in on what we would like and the appropriate level of hotels. The travel app they use, "Vamoose," was a big help by providing all the information we needed with any real time changes right on our phone. In particular, they provided us with all last minute details we needed shortly before our departure. We would definitely use WAC again for travel in the areas in which they specialize. read more

WAC Travel planned a fantastic vacation for us! We had never been to Europe before and wanted to go to Italy. They suggested we start with all the tourist locations, which we did. We started in Venice and went to Bologna, Florence, and Rome. They scheduled us for tours and activities in each location based on our requests and time of day. This included transfers from the plane and/or train to our luxury hotels. Everything was perfect! We quickly got spoiled by the personalized services we received. We never had to worry about a thing as WAC Travel expertly handled all of this for us. We simply had to enjoy all that these Italian cities had to offer. It was an experience we will never forget and quite possibly our best vacation ever. If you are considering a trip to Europe and need help with planning all the details, I highly recommend WAC Travel! Their expertise was amazing and we will definitely be using them again in the future!! read more

I recently returned from my fifth trip to Italy in ten years. All five have been thoughtfully designed by Hilary at WAC Travel. Hilary and her team know Italy. They listen to me and design the most luxurious, personalized trips I've ever taken. From Venice to Florence to Tuscany to Rome to Vatican City to Positano to Assisi to Sicily to the Italian Riviera to Lake Come they know every region of that beautiful country. This trip Hilary arranged accommodations and excursions for myself and my husband in the Italian Riviera and Lake Como. During the planning process, we told Hilary about the sites we wanted to see. She created an itinerary that took us to see the highlights, but helped us to avoid the crowds. She planned time for us to tour and provided us plenty of time to relax. I can't wait to plan trip number six!! read more

Going to Europe? Have a consultation with WAC. Our trip to Greece was perfection and seamless. We could never have planned a trip so wonderful on our own. They are experts, and they know what they're doing. We will never go to Europe and not use them. read more

We were a family of 10 traveling through Greece on a family adventure originated through WAC travel. We started out visiting two Islands, Santorini and Paros and then flew to the north to visit four historic locations; Ioannina (my husband's family's homeland), Meteora and Delphi and ending up in Athens. Our guide Laura, from our very first day in the North, captivated us with her knowledge and expertise of Greek mythology and navigated us through the most incredible journey through Greece. We have been with many guides in the past but none have made an impression that Laura has. There was a special bond that was created between all 10 of us and Laura. Her boundless energy, intensity and caring was above and beyond anything we have ever encountered. She is a true expert in Greek antiquity and mythology and engaged us in stories that gave us a true sense of what it was like living in Ancient Greece. She imparted to us the essence of the Socratic method of learning through her questions which encouraged us to activate our past knowledge of Greek mythology. We were traveling with young adults and through her encouragement they were able to answer questions that were posed to them about the Gods. Every right answer was followed by "bravo" from Laura. Everyday was filled with authenticity, fun and learning. Laura made sure that not a moment was wasted and would change our schedule on the fly if she felt it was warranted or if someone requested it. She imparted to us a love of Greece that will be with us forever. Thank you WAC Travel and Laura for the memory of a lifetime! read more

My friend and I went to Greece in May 2024 using WAC Travel. It was a fantastic trip! We talked with Hilary and told her the vibe of how we travel and what we are interested in and her team planned the perfect vacation. We had the ideal balance of activities and sightseeing with relaxation and free time. The hotels were awesome, the restaurant recommendations were great, and the booked activities were so fun and unique! My favorite thing about using WAC Travel is that everything that is usually tedious about travel is taken care of. We knew that everything was arranged and we just needed to show up. read more

Fourteen trips with Hilary and Company. Just that number should tell you how we feel about their expertise. Whether its a boutique hotel, well informed tour guide or dinner recommendation they always hit the bullseye. There are hardly enough accolades for me to bestow upon this group. Whatever your travel plans this is the place to make them. read more

Beware: A 2-week trip to Spain planned by WAC for a family of 2 adults and 2 children will cost $28,800! When I asked Hilary if she could work within a lower budget range, she said it was not possible. I know it is possible so it's disappointing that I was essentially turned away because I do not want to spend $28,800 on a 2 week trip! This is an unrealistic budget for many families. WAC should be more upfront about the pricing range they prefer to work with. I had to wait over 1 month for a phone consultation, and spent 45 minutes on the phone consultation before being given this price. What a waste of time! I have already found another travel agency that is able to plan the same trip for $10,000. read more

We just completed our 2nd trip planned by WAC travel. The 1st one was to Greece with a Group of 8 in 2022, this year's trip was to Portugal amd was just as over the top and perfectly executed as our Greece trip. We started in Porto at an incredible hotel and had several days of exploring the city and Douro valley wine country, the guides and tranfers were excellent! We were then driven down the coast to Lisbon stopping along the way at some beautiful beach towns and seeing the famous giant waves at Nazare, then to Lisbon where we explored yet another amazing city w excellent guides and tours. The last of the trip was to the Algarve where we once again stayed at another 5 star hotel on the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Algarve. Another Incredible and perfectly planned trip by WAC. Were already planning our next trip and will be working with WAC again! read more

We just returned from our trip to Greece and thank you to WAC Travel for putting together such a fantastic itinerary. We loved each stop and as always with WAC Travel all tours and transfers were seamless and professional. The hotels were all wonderful. We started in Athens for 2 nights and then went onto 4 islands for 3 nights each on the first 3 islands, (Paros, Naxos, Santorini) and 6 nights on Crete. This was our 5th trip with WAC travel and we thank Hilary and her group for being so creative, professional and reliable with all our adventures. We highly recommend contacting WAC Travel! read more

My husband and I went on a combined honeymoon/anniversary trip to Greece in August 2024. We worked with Roberta, who made the whole planning experience seamless and stress-free! She was very responsive and offered insight based on what we were looking to do. All the tours and excursions were wonderful and the hotels were conveniently located. Everything was outlined and executed well, as per the itinerary that she created. Overall, we had a great experience! read more

We just came back from an AMAZING dream trip to Italy. Hillary and her team from WAC did such an incredible job. I know that my family would never have gotten the amazing experience that we did if we planned the trip on our own. We went from Rome, to Florence, Tuscany, Bologna and then Milan. The private tours, the food tastings, the dinners and the sites of the cities were incredible. Every hotel was amazing, every driver was on time, they left no detail unchecked. I highly recommend the WAC team, they are complete professionals and experts! read more

We can't thank Hilary and her team at WAC enough! They were phenomenal at planning our honeymoon to Paris and Italy. This was our first time visiting Europe so Hilary created the perfect itinerary for us. From all the tours we went on, to traveling by plane/train, the entire trip went smoothly and we had no issues at all! We cannot recommend WAC enough and will continue to use WAC for any future Europe trips. Do not hesitate to use WAC Travel, their team is worth it and more! read more

We just went on our Greece honeymoon organized by WAC Travel. Everything went smoothly and seamlessly. All of our transfers & hotel accommodations among the various islands were set up and all we had to do was show up. For the days that specific activities were not planned for us, WAC gave us a detailed list of things to do and places to see. We highly recommend using them to book your Europe Trip! read more

Thank you Fanny for your help with the design and overall coordination of our trip to France. We couldn't have had a more enjoyable vacation, everything went seamlessly and that's what we were aiming for. The entire team at WAC was professional and amicable, and you went out of your way to ensure we received great customer service. We have recommended your services to our friends and we can't wait to plan our next trip to Europe with WAC. read more

Unfortunate that only 5 stars is the limit here! We just returned from our 2nd WAC Travel trip to Italy - the first since COVID - and it was EVERYTHING we could have asked for and more. Hilary and her team leave no stone unturned to not only help you understand the pros and cons (if any) of any destination, but they meticulously map out your vacation in great detail and offer unforgettable options for each destination. The Vamoos app also was a welcome addition on this 2-week trip to Rome, Tuscany, Sorrento, Positano and Taormina. We also can't say enough about all of our transfer drivers arranged by WAC. They always early or on-time, are courteous and very helpful. The golf cart food tour in Rome is an absolute must, as is the lunch and wine tasting at the Tenuta Casanova Farm in Tuscany. This was not a DIY vacation for us, and we would have trusted no one else but WAC Travel help us see it through. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Just returned from an 18-day trip through Tuscany coordinated with WAC Travel. They were great to work with as we had several small towns and tours we wished to include. Hilary and her entire team were wonderful and responsive to questions we had before and even during the trip. All the hotels (6 different locations) were top-notch, and where staff was wonderful, professional, and helpful with local directions, sites, etc. WAC Travel arranged all the hotels, tours, and drivers (always on time) for our trip. We would definitely recommend and use WAC Travel and her team again. read more

The best! Trip was seamless, planes,, trains , car transport all coordinated through their app. Tremendously responsive and catering to our questions. Would not hesitate to use them again. read more

Hilary and team planned the honeymoon of our dreams! From the beginning, Hilary's guidance was invaluable in choosing a location to spend our trip. She walked us through so many options and helped tailor the trip to match everything we wanted. She spent time getting to know what we wanted out of our trip and made every detail match. Each activity and hotel is vetted by her team and the vendors all impressed us! I have never used a travel agency prior, and now I am not sure I can go back! Hilary knew where our money was best spent and because of her, we had the trip of a lifetime! Every step was seamlessly planned and went incredibly smooth throughout each leg our our trip. Every detail was thought of and we can't wait to use them again for future trips! Thank you to WAC travel for making the last part of our wedding such a special one! read more

WAC Travel is the best option for traveling to Italy. Hilary has helped us book two trips in the last few years, a honeymoon through Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Positano and Monopoli and just recently a trip to Sicily. All travel plans are laid out seamlessly with recommendations for delicious and exciting eats, shopping ideas, food tours, and beach recommendations. All of our stops were coordinated with drivers who knew the areas extremely well and helped us to understand the history of each place we had visited. Our amazing guides led us on private tours/semi private tours which were personalized to the places we wished to travel. The restaurant recommendations were spot on and were catered to our preferences. Hilary and WAC Travel listen to your vacation dreams and put them into action. From the beautiful printed itinerary book to a folder filled with tickets and bookings, you are packed with everything you need to sit back and enjoy your trip. I cant recommend WAC travel enough! read more

I couldn't say enough good things about WAC Travel! Hilary Altman helped us plan the most incredible honeymoon to Italy & Greece. She created an itinerary that encompassed everything we wanted - a little bit of adventure, relaxation, and being off the beaten path. All of the details were well organized and we had 0 logistic issues while we were there. We could tell that all of the activities Hilary booked for us were not well known by the broader population - cooking class at a family-owned restaurant, a hike through the country side, etc. It made for a more intimate and authentic experience. Highly recommend working with WAC Travel to book your dream vacation! You won't regret it :) read more

Amazing travel agency now helps my family plan all our European vacations! Highly recommend!

I don't write many Yelp reviews at all - only when I feel strongly about something (can go in both positive and negative directions). In August of 2016 we used WAC travel for a 11 day Italy trip and couldn't be happier. Everything was seamless and arranged perfectly. Debbie Salgado at WAC travel tailored our itinerary to meet our needs and helped us every step of the way to make my mothers 60th Birthday getaway extremely special. There's no reason why anyone should not use this company to book their trip to Italy/Greece. My girlfriend and I just planned a trip to Greece for May 2017 and cannot wait! Thanks Debbie for all your help! read more

This is an increadable organization. Review of our documents and records prior to our departure saved us from delays and disputes. Hotels recommended/selected were amazing. Transportation coordination and scheduling were timely and had no driver issues. We highly recommend WAC Travel! read more

WAC travel is SUPERB! Hilary did an amazing job at planning my husbands and I early one year anniversary celebration in Greece & Italy 8/28-9/14 2014. She listened to what we needed and what we were looking for and was very efficient in planning everything so carefully. From the moment we landed for our 17 day trip between both countries was flawless. We were so well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to go travel and have nothing to worry about. Loved my vacation! Thanks WAC travel! PS The lovely bounded copy she gives you as a keepsake is also beautiful of your entire travel itin and i will cherish that forever as a reminder of the wonderful vacation we had. read more

Thank you for planning a beautiful honeymoon for us in Greece. Our itinerary was easy to follow and we loved that it was organized with photo descriptions and suggestions on days we didn't have plans. Hilary was wonderful in communicating with my husband in creating an awesome honeymoon. The tours and excursions were the highlights of our trip. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! We had an AMAZING trip! read more

We booked our 30th anniversary trip to Italy through Ashley. It was absolutely perfect! She tailored the trip to our requests but also gave us suggestions for visiting places she knew we would like. We ended up doing most of them! She recommended a villa in the Chianti region that was charming and full of history. We easily accessed medieval villages as well as wineries and olive groves by car. Driving was as easy as she told us it would be. We even had a private 5 course cooking lesson right at the villa! Serena was fabulous. The hotel in Florence had a rooftop bar with the most magnificent sunsets and the tours we took were informative and interesting. One guide, Emilia, has renewed our love of art and architecture. In Rome we started with a food tour that took us off the beaten path and out of the crowds...amazing food. We toured the Colliseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with a guide who had a degree in architecture and did the rest on our own. There was so much more but it would make a book. Thank you, Ashley, we'll be back!! read more

We just got back from 16 days in Italy! It was such an awesome trip. Grace and Hikary from WAC Travel set up an itinerary that is second to none! There was never a dull moment and we were always on the move. They hooked us up with tours, tour guides and added surprises through out the time we were there. My favorite surprises we're seeing the American Cemetary in Florence, attending mass at Montecasino Abbey and also the church where Padre Pio preached. The Puglia region was remarkable. I would use their services to go back to Italy. If I get to Greece I will gladly call them to set it up! I highly recommend WAC read more
