OUR STORY
It started with a connection
Two people met on a plane. A conversation that didn’t stop. A mutual obsession with travel. A wedding on the shores of Lake Como that brought everyone together.
It sounds like the beginning of a movie, and in some ways it was. Wavell and Altman didn’t just join their lives, but also their passion for travel into a company built on one idea: that trips should be crafted, a value that continues to serve as the heartbeat of our company. From the very beginning they have been meticulous about making every second count. Not just the hotels and the transfers, but the feeling. The pace. The particular afternoon that catches you off guard and becomes the one you talk about for years.
WAC Travel was born from connection, a value that continues to serve as the heartbeat of our company. Our clients don’t just book trips with us; over time, they become part of an intimate circle. Nine out of ten travelers either travel with us again, or come through a recommendation from someone who has. We hope you’ll become one of them.
Consider us your behind-the-scenes architects of the extraordinary. You share your vision, the pace that energizes you, the experiences that captivate you, any concerns or constraints, and those dreams you’ve held onto for years. We transform them into reality with precision and care, handling every detail so seamlessly you’ll wonder how it all came together so effortlessly.
We have spent two decades building relationships with guides, drivers, and local experts across Europe and Africa who feel, genuinely, like family. People who care about your experience the way we do. Who know when to share everything they know and when to simply let a place speak. Who will be waiting for you, on time, with warmth, ready to show you something real.
We’ve walked every cobblestone street, stayed at every hotel, spent time with every guide we introduce you to, and personally vetted every experience we curate. We don’t send you anywhere we haven’t been ourselves.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Connection is the destination.
The world is filled with travel companies. Very few understand what we know instinctively: the destination is secondary to the people you share it with. We design journeys around connection, multi-generational celebrations that unite families, milestone birthdays that gather lifelong friends, anniversaries that honor decades of partnership. Every itinerary we craft serves a deeper purpose: bringing people together in meaningful ways.
