About Me

Family travel is rarely simple. You're balancing ages, interests, energy levels, and the expectations of people who all want something slightly different from the same trip. Every family has its own rhythm, its own priorities, and its own version of a perfect trip. My job is to figure out what that looks like for yours — and then design it.

I design bespoke family itineraries from the ground up. No packages, no templates. Every detail — where you stay, how you get around, what you do and what you skip — is chosen with your specific family in mind. Milestone celebrations, school break adventures, holiday travel, first trips to Europe with kids — I build trips that work for everyone in the group without losing what makes the trip worth taking.

Italy is my specialty for families. I know which cities reward a slower pace, which experiences genuinely captivate kids, and how to structure a day that leaves everyone ready to come back for more.

I travel often with family myself — and I know firsthand that a well-designed family trip can be one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences you share together.

Highly Recommend
Reviewed By Alex - Denver, CO | Traveled to Europe
We used Lisa/Remarkable Travel Design to plan our international trip — four days driving through Tuscany and four days in Dingle and the surrounding area. Lisa handled everything: car rental, lodging, International Driving Permit, restaurant recommendations in Florence, and a general orientation to traveling abroad that made us feel genuinely prepared before we left. When we ran into a problem with the rental car in Tuscany mid-trip, she was reachable, calm, and helped to problem solve the issue without us having to figure it out alone in a foreign country. That moment alone was worth every penny. The second half of the trip in Dingle and the surrounding countryside was equally seamless. I highly recommend Lisa!

Incredible week in Spain!
Reviewed By M.K. - McLean, VA | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Working with Lisa at Remarkable Travel Design for our week in Barcelona and Madrid was incredible. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from seamless train transportation between cities to outstanding private museum tours that made the experience feel effortless and special. Lisa’s recommendations were unforgettable - especially an extraordinary lunch at Compartir and her suggestion to visit Sagrada Família during golden hour, which turned out to be one of the most memorable moments of the trip. Alongside incredible experiences, Lisa created space for us to wander, slow down, and truly absorb the beauty and energy of each city. Her impeccable taste, attention to detail, and thoughtful planning made the trip feel deeply personal and unforgettable

Flawlessly planned trip!
Reviewed By B. Haimowitz - Stamford, CT | Traveled to Switzerland | Europe
We had an incredible experience working with Lisa Magaro at Remarkable Travel Design for our trip to Switzerland and Ireland. Every detail - from car rentals to hotels in Zurich, Lucerne, Grindelwald, and Dingle - was flawlessly planned and perfectly suited to our style. She also stepped in last minute to help when our Dublin hotel canceled our room and found us another one! Lisa’s impeccable eye for detail, superb taste, and thoughtful activity and dinner recommendations made the trip feel seamless, personalized, and unforgettable. Everything was organized beautifully, and it was clear how much care went into every part of our itinerary. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Extraordinary week in Tuscany
Reviewed By Elise T. - Middletown, RI | Traveled to Tuscany | Italy | Europe
We had the most extraordinary week in Tuscany and cannot say enough about Lisa Magaro at Remarkable Travel Design. From a perfectly located hotel in Florence to a private wine tasting at Castello di Brolio that felt like it was designed just for us, every detail was thoughtful and seamless. The highlight no one could have found on their own was a tucked-away lunch spot in Greve — stunning views, incredible food, not a tourist in sight. Lisa handled our car rental, coordinated every moving piece, and made the whole trip feel effortless. We traveled with complete ease and came home already planning our next trip with her. Highest possible recommendation.

Crafted Banff ski trip
Reviewed By Liz D - Norfolk VA | Traveled to Banff | Alberta | Canada
I asked Lisa to design a 6 day ski trip to Banff Canada, and she handled every detail seamlessly. From the rental car to the condo(I really wanted a space with a kitchen and laundry facilities :-) to ski gear rentals. She even arranged an all mountain lift ticket on my budget! She curated an itinerary that felt effortless on my end but was clearly crafted with care. I called her from the airport when my flight was cancelled and she also handled that with ease, setting me up on an unexpected overnight stay in Calgary. Lisa also shared insider tips that made the trip even more enjoyable—like the best of each of the three mountains for my ski level (Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, and Mt. Norquay), helpful local apps I should download, where to eat downtown and go grocery shopping, what to pack for Banff's weather, and where to find the shortest lift lines. Thanks to her thoughtful planning, I was free to simply enjoy myself without worrying about logistics....and ski trips have MANY logistics! My trip to Banff exceeded my expectations in every way. I left feeling happy, accomplished and recharged. I'm so grateful for Lisa's expertise and will absolutely be planning my next adventure through Remarkable Travel Design!

Flawless Weekend in Nashville!
Lisa has planned several amazing trips for me and my family. Our weekend in Nashville was flawless, from the VIP tickets to a live show at The Grand Ole Opry, to a tour of the Johnny Cash Museum, to perfect hotel accommodations near Broadway. Every detail was thoughtfully planned. We even got several last-minute dinner reservations at hard-to-book spots. She created a stress-free vacation and memorable experience - wouldn't have done it without her!
