OUR STORY
It started with a connection
Two people meet on a plane. A mutual obsession with travel, a conversation that doesn’t stop. A wedding on the shores of Lake Como that marks the beginning of a decades-long adventure.
It sounds like a movie, and in some ways it was. In joining together, Hilary Wavell and Michael Altman’s passion for wanderlust would blossom from one idea: travel should be thoughtfully curated. It is a value that, to this day, serves as the heartbeat of WAC Travel.
Our travel experts know that from the very beginning, every second counts. An unforgettable journey is more than the hotels and transfers. It’s a feeling. Some of the greatest memories come from the simplest moments. A gelato in a historic piazza. A walk along the beach under the stars. An impromptu discovery that catches you off guard and becomes one you talk about for years.
WAC Travel was born from connection and lives on to cultivate greater bonds both internationally and at home. Clients don’t simply book trips with us; they become part of an intimate community. Our results speak for themselves: 9 out of 10 travelers return to plan a second adventure or come at the recommendation of 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, and the dreams you’ve held on to for years. We’ll transform them into reality with precision and care, handling every detail so seamlessly, you’ll wonder how it all came together so easily.
Over the past two decades, WAC Travel has built lasting relationships with local guides, drivers, and experts across Europe and Africa. More than just partnerships, these fellow travel enthusiasts genuinely feel like family. They are people who care about your experience the way we do, who know when to share and when to let a place speak to you. It is a community eager for your arrival, who will warmly greet you on time, ready to show you something real.
Trust that every part of the journey is tried and true, having been personally experienced by our dedicated team of travel experts. We have walked every cobblestone street, rested at every hotel, and traveled with every guide, vetting each detail so you can simply savor the moment.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Connection is the destination.
The world is filled with travel companies, yet few understand a universal truth: A destination is secondary to the people you share it with. At WAC Travel, we design journeys to cultivate connection. Whether it’s multi-generational celebrations that unite families, milestone birthdays that gather lifelong friends, or anniversaries that honor decades of partnership, travel is most profound when done together.
That is why every itinerary our experts craft serves a deeper purpose: To foster connection in the most meaningful way.
