Best Trip Ever
Reviewed By Dan - New York, New York | Traveled to Victoria Falls ~ Zimbabwe ~ Africa
If I had to describe my two week trip to Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa with Level Up Travel in one word, it would be phenomenal! Matt was incredibly knowledgeable, and did a fantastic job with planning and organizing the trip. Matt asked questions, understood what was a priority for me and offered plenty of alternatives. Thanks to Matt, I had the trip of a lifetime and checked three countries off of my bucket list. I will definitely be using Level Up Travel for all of my future trips!

A Resounding Success
Reviewed By Glenn - Malaga, Spain | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
For some time I had been considering a trip to Japan. I specifically wanted to go for a photo project I was working on. I reached out to Level and was contacted by Matt. Matt stayed with from the initial call until the followup after my return home. Matt's attention to detail and personalised service made a two week four city trip absolutely seamless. The accommodations were in fitting locations for what my rather specific needs were and Matt provided me with cultural and logistical information relevant to what I was seeking to accomplish. I am a seasoned traveler but when I started planning this trip I was a bit overwhelmed by all the working parts. Matt stepped in and provided what I needed to make this trip a resounding success. Level exceeded my expectations bringing in the entire journey for the exact price point I could afford. I highly recommend Level to anyone looking for a travel experience tailored to their specific interests and needs.

Reviewed By Rae4279 - Bristol, CT | Traveled to Greece | Europe
We recently embarked on a dream trip to Athens and Santorini, and it wouldn’t have been nearly as seamless or magical without the expertise of our phenomenal travel agent, Matthew. From start to finish, He curated an itinerary that balanced history, adventure, relaxation, and breathtaking scenery, ensuring every moment was unforgettable. His attention to detail was impeccable—securing the best flights, arranging smooth transfers, and booking stunning accommodations that perfectly matched our preferences. In Athens, we explored the Acropolis, Parthenon and Temple of Athena Nike, Zeus Temple and hidden local gems thanks to their insider recommendations. And in Santorini? Absolute paradise! He found us hotel with a pool right outside our door and arranged another amazing day tour. Beyond logistics, His personal touch made all the difference. Whether it was adjusting plans on the fly or offering restaurant suggestions that led to some of the best meals of our lives, they were always ju

Incredible vacation in Italy
Reviewed By Debra J - NY | Traveled to Italy | Europe
We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Italy that was planned flawlessly by Matt from Level Up Travel. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Matt helped us craft a personalized itinerary that balanced guided experiences with free time. Every detail was taken care of including smooth train travel between cities, transfers, and fantastic accommodations. Some of the major highlights included private guided tours to the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Roman Forum. Having a knowledgeable guide really enriched the experience and made it more personal and meaningful. In Florence we had the most fun during a hands on pasta making class. We joined small group tours through the beautiful Chianti wine region and stunning Cinque Terre, both of which were well paced and organized. We ended our journey in Venice. Upon our arrival at the train station we were greeted by a personal assistant who escorted us on a private water taxi to our hotel. It was such a magical adventure cruisi
