Tailor-made Mediterranean Europe trips our travelers loved

Kathy Benage’s trip to Croatia

Outstanding service from Sara and with her help, we were able to see so many interesting towns/cities in Croatia. We had wonderful hotels, outstanding guides/tours and drivers who were knowledgeable and proud of their country.

We received so much support from Sara in our upfront planning as well as during our trip. She was always available to us and her response time was uncanny! Based on Sara and our fabulous Croatia trip, I would highly recommend using TravelLocal.

Shelley London’s trip to Italy and Malta

Giulio and his team at TravelLocal did a fantastic job organising our “luxury” trip to Sicily and Malta. They booked us great hotels, and organised private tours and drivers for when we didn’t drive ourselves. All were friendly and knowlegable. However we had plenty of time to do our own thing too. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always on hand to deal with any issues. If you want a travel experience that goes above and beyond then we definitely recommend TravelLocal. They take the hard work out of planning an overseas holiday.

Kristin Brennan’s trip to Greece

Our experience with TravelLocal could not have been better! The communication from our agent Giorgos was always prompt and thoughtful. While the entire process felt effortless on my end, I know that Giorgos resolved a few issues with the original TravelLocal itinerary based on a specific island’s hotel reservation restrictions. He developed an alternate plan that I think ultimately was even better for what my family was most excited to do on our first trip to Greece.

I was especially impressed that we were personally welcomed by Giorgos upon arrival and that he checked in later via text. The pacing of our itinerary was perfect- we had an excellent balance of organized activities (i.e., educational tours by knowledgeable guides and convenient transfers by professional and reliable drivers) and flexible free time. My family was delighted to have the opportunity to learn from local residents and to follow their excellent recommendations for other, maybe lesser-advertised sites and restaurants.

Finally, Giorgos was immediately available for a question I had about one of our tours and about a request I made to arrive earlier to the airport on our last day (my own travel anxiety- his original schedule would have provided more than enough time!). My entire family is grateful for this exceptional level of hospitality and service! I would very happily work with Giorgos and TravelLocal again!

Pam Holbrook’s trip to Croatia and Slovenia

TravelLocal put together an exceptional experience on our curated trip to Croatia and Slovenia. Every aspect of the journey reflected careful planning and attention to detail, from the thoughtfully designed itinerary to the seamless logistics throughout the trip. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the regions, which added great depth to each destination.

Accommodations were convenient, comfortable, and well-appointed, making travel days easy and relaxing. The planned excursions were perfectly paced and well chosen, allowing us to experience both iconic highlights and local gems. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that every detail had been thoroughly considered. Thank you for providing us with a truly well-executed and memorable travel experience.

Roman Basin’s trip to Albania

We had a fantastic trip to Albania, booked through TravelLocal, who connected us with our local agent, Capucine. She did an amazing job organizing everything from start to finish! Capucine was incredibly responsive, answering all of our messages right away and making the planning process seamless. Our driver/guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, punctual, and kept the van spotless throughout our journey. He shared so much fascinating history, introduced us to local culture and customs, and gave us outstanding recommendations on where and what to eat. We highly recommend using TravelLocal and working with Capucine for an unforgettable and perfectly tailored trip to Albania!
