Personalized Planning
We take the time to understand your travel dreams and requirements. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, culinary delights, or cultural immersion, we’ll design an itinerary that aligns perfectly with your vision.
Local Insights
Our in-depth knowledge of each destination means you’ll enjoy access to hidden gems and local favorites that typical tourists may miss. We work with local partners to enhance your experience. We book private guides, small group tours, skip-the-line tickets and concert tickets. We supply hiking maps and city maps. We book drivers, trains or rental cars for a smooth trip.
Flexibility and Choice
With our custom itineraries, you’re in control. We provide a variety of options for accommodations, activities, dining, and transportation. You can mix and match to create the perfect trip. After creating a detailed itinerary, we’ll recommend and book accommodations you’ll love that are available for your dates, meet your preferences, and are within your budget.
Please note: Voyager service does not include creating your overall itinerary or include recommending or booking your accommodations. If you would like us to review your accommodations and/or suggest alternatives, you will need our Signature planning service.

Our Easy Planning Process for Crafting Your Custom Vacation
At The Wanderful Gourmet, we pride ourselves on crafting unique experiences tailored to your preferences. Each itinerary we create reflects your individual tastes and interests, ensuring that no two journeys are ever the
5 Reasons a Custom Vacation is the Right Fit for You
Here are some common reasons why a custom vacation could be the perfect choice for you. Additionally, I’ll outline the easy planning process we follow consistently to create highly personalized itineraries for travelers, adventurers, and food enthusiasts.
1. You Just Aren't a "Tour" Person
I hear this often. There are many types of tours available: large bus tours, small van tours, private tours, and intimate group tours without a bus—the options are endless. At The Wanderful Gourmet, we specialize in crafting your journeys that fit your needs and desires. You have the freedom to choose what you want to do and what you prefer to skip, and we will make it happen.
2. Identifying Your Must-See Destinations
Sometimes, you have a specific city or natural wonder in mind that you want to visit. Other times, you might be looking for an off-the-beaten-path itinerary. While you may know your desired destinations, you might not be sure how long to spend in each location or the best way to travel between them. Share your must-see places with us, provide a budget if you have one, let us know how many days you have available, and we will take care of the rest.
3. You simply don’t have the time to plan this trip.
We collaborate with many well-traveled individuals, who have successfully organized their own trips in the past. However, the amount of information available online can be overwhelming. While you know how to research, plan, and book, finding the time to do it all is a challenge.
4. Your group has specific needs
Maybe you’re traveling with a two-year-old and not sure how to make the trip toddler-friendly. Or maybe one of the travelers has severe food allergies. Or you have a group with diverse interests that you’re not sure how to incorporate into one trip. Susie wants to go to the beach, while David wants to hike but also not miss the main sights. Others want to go up the attend a chocolate workshop and eat gelato.
5. It's Your Dream Trip, and You Want It to Be Perfect
Maybe you've been dreaming about a trip to your favorite travel destination or culinary adventure for a long time. You've seen stunning photos in magazines, and you want to experience everything the place has to offer and truly fall in love with it. However, you might be unsure where to begin, how much time you'll need, or even how much it will cost. You don't want to travel with strangers, and while all the tours you've read about seem appealing, you also might not want to take on the responsibility of ensuring that everyone else's dream trip goes perfectly.
