Overall rating: 5/5

Wanderlust Adventures by Hugo’s services are great. You’ve got a fabulous process in place, especially when we have no idea where we want to go but just know we need a bit of sunshine. You take care of the travel admin, which we greatly appreciate, especially when we’re super busy leading up to our holiday. It’s a weight off our shoulders knowing you have it all in hand for us.

We also like that you put together a travel guide pack about the place we’re travelling to — it’s a lovely touch.

Thank you for everything — for the personal service, for always being present and attentive to our needs, and for sharing a little of the journey with us! This will certainly be the first of many. I would choose Japan again, and I would choose your agency again! Here’s to this adventure and many more…

Excellent service beginning to end, took all the hassle away of booking a trip for myself and partner. Fantastic communication, nothing is too much trouble, delivered everything I asked for, booked me a perfect holiday. I would highly recommend to everyone I know.

Dom Luís I Bridge and Porto's historic riverside beside the DouroPORTO · MYSTERY TRIP
Overall rating: 5/5

Wow Hugo, what can I say? It was exactly what we needed — and more! Everything was truly perfect. No hassle at the airport, at the hotel or with any of the bookings. Everywhere you recommended, including the restaurants, was amazing. There’s no way we would have found them on a whim, and that made me feel like we had the best experience. I loved trying all the local food, traditional dishes and wines. I feel like we truly captured the city with our tour on day two; the tuk-tuk and cruise on day three were a bonus too. I don’t think you could have done any more for us. We were super chilled and happy, and your information pack was brilliant. ‘What would Hugo do?’ became our quote — and we did everything you said because we knew it would be good! Thank you so, so much. When can we book the next one?

Sarah and Shane at a cooking class during their mystery trip to MilanMILAN · MYSTERY TRIP
Overall rating: 5/5

We were so excited to go on a mystery holiday — we had never done anything like it! I am usually a control freak when it comes to organising a holiday, so it was exciting, and actually quite nice, to put our trust in someone else to do all the legwork. And what an expert Hugo was! When we opened the envelope at the airport, we were so excited to discover we were going to Milan, Italy.

The pack was incredibly informative, and we loved reading through everything at the airport. The instructions made everything so easy and definitely took away any stress. The hotel Hugo chose was in a great location, with excellent transport links, comfortable rooms and a lovely breakfast. The pack included brilliant ideas and a suggested plan, including experiences we would never have thought of ourselves. A particularly special touch was the pasta and tiramisu-making class booked for our second evening — we absolutely loved it!

Hugo checked in with us throughout our stay and was always on hand if we needed anything. He had thought of everything; even check-in was effortless with his help. It was an amazing surprise holiday and something we would definitely do again. Thank you again, Hugo — what an incredible experience! ❤️🇮🇹🍝🍸

Mariana, friends and baby Duarte during their trip to Lake Como, Lake Garda and VeronaLAKE COMO · LAKE GARDA · VERONA
Overall rating: 5/5

An excellent service, very personal and with incredible availability!

From the very beginning, when booking the trip, we felt that everything was being adapted to our needs and preferences. And that support did not end there: Hugo was always available to clarify doubts, answer our questions and help with whatever we needed.

The itinerary was extremely well planned and suited exactly what we were looking for, with all the information we needed, restaurant suggestions and tips that made all the difference throughout the trip.

Even Duarte had his own tailor-made itinerary! Everything was planned around his pace, although he decided that he is not actually a big fan of travelling by car — he must be the only baby in the world who prefers exploring without wheels! 🤣 Even so, he was always happy to come along with us, being carried by his uncles, taking his naps and stopping for a feed wherever we happened to be. He is, without a doubt, a very lucky baby!

Dinis, still in mummy’s tummy, has already started learning about travelling too and, by the looks of it, he is going to have some excellent teachers. 😎

If we had to identify one area for improvement, it would be the app. We think it is an excellent idea with a great deal of potential. We know it is still at an early stage and has room to become more complete — we genuinely think it is worth continuing to invest in it, because it could make the whole experience even better.

Overall, we were extremely happy with the entire experience and, above all, with the personal approach, availability and attention to detail. We truly felt supported throughout — and that makes all the difference.

Thank you, Hugo!
