What Our Travelers Say

If you want to know the road ahead, ask those coming back. 

More than 95% of LANDED’s requests come from referrals and repeat travelers. LANDED designs original, tailor-made vacations for hundreds of travelers each year. Here are some of their stories.

At LANDED, we create one-of-a-kind vacations with you in mind. Since 2006, we’ve never offered the same itinerary twice. We simply won’t sell off-the-rack itineraries; instead, we create memorable experiences specially designed to your unique interests, dreams, and requirements.

Are you seeking the awe and excitement of wildlife encounters in the Galapagos or a rainforest? Do you crave solitude and adventure in the vastness of Patagonia or Antarctica? Does the culture and charm of Cartagena or Buenos Aires call to you? Our goal—our privilege—is to transform your travel dreams into unforgettable memories.

Each LANDED vacation is a hand-crafted original. With LANDED, you’ll travel your way and at your speed. Let’s work together to create a vacation that you and your family will remember for a lifetime.

LANDED did an excellent job putting together an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted; always happily tweaking it to meet our needs. It ended up being a trip of a lifetime for four friends who didn’t want to go back home. There were many unique experiences included which made it very special for us.

–Linda H, USA

LANDED was wonderful in taking care of every detail to make our trip a fabulous experience that we will never forget!! We want to come back in 5 years when our other grandchildren are old enough to appreciate all that the Galapagos offers!

–Carol Z, USA

Our family trip to Belize for spring break was unforgettable and expertly curated. Every detail was just perfect. We will cherish the memories of our time in Belize for many years to come.

–Tamara P, USA

LANDED crafted a perfectly tailored trip for me and my mom. Every part of the itinerary was thoughtful and well executed. We covered all of the must see tourist attractions in addition to special experiences that made our trip unforgettable. I cannot recommend LANDED enough!

–Lindsay W, USA

LANDED does an amazing job of making sure all of your needs are met. They are honest, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to work with!! I recommend LANDED to anyone wanting a personalized, first-class vacation.

–Emily S, USA

Our experience with LANDED’s team was outstanding. All of our travel arrangements were thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed. We highly recommend traveling with LANDED.

–Lynn R, USA

LANDED planned a well thought out top notch, fantastic trip, taking into consideration all of our needs and requests. We were cared for every step of the way. The accommodations, guides and handlers were all amazing. Thank you to LANDED for helping us create memories of a lifetime.

–Maxine S, USA

Exactly the bonding and sharing experience we’d hoped for. The rhythm, variety, and tone was spot on. With effective listening skills, you built a good picture of what we wanted–more complicated than “just” luxury. The result was a great trip, one made just for us.

–Gesine H, Belgium

We used Landed to be our guides throughout Chile. From the deserts of Atacama to Patagonia, Landed had us traveling in comfort and we felt a bit like royalty. Only the finest foods awaited us after every adventure and we were always accompanied by interested, intelligent, relaxing guides.

–Sabrina K, USA

I was not sure how much using the Landed services would change our experience at the outset. The experience exceeded any expectation I could have had ten fold. Every detail was thought through, recommendations were spot on and the level of accommodations was great at a reasonable price.

–Shannon G, USA

We just returned from a trip to Buenos Aires, Iguazu, El Calafate and Chilean Patagonia, all arranged by Landed Travel. Our experience was above our high expectations! Everything about Landed was first class, from the planning and development of the itinerary to the execution of each leg of the trip. All was handled professionally, with no detail left to chance. The sights and experiences that they recommended were interesting and fun. We have been on many similar trips arranged by other professional firms, and Landed is right at the top with any of them!

–Jim L, USA
I usually plan my own travel and excursions! This time it was suggested I use Landed-which I did. Really not expecting anything else but logistics! Amazingly, not only where the logistics perfect, the service, attention to detail, communication and then the places we stayed at and visited where better than most! I am a new believer and will be using Landed again! Thank you LANDED!
-Memo K, USA
This was a once in a lifetime trip with my son to visit Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands. LANDED exceeded expectations with every detail covered. From the planning team, to the guides, to the drivers to and from locations; everyone was professional and personable and felt like family after every experience. We look forward to using LANDED again for planning the perfect travel experience.
-Craig B, USA
LANDED makes travel to South America a breeze, every detail is accounted for and every suggestion is carefully vetted and geared to your specific needs. I wish they did more destinations so we could use them all the time!
-Alyssa S, USA
100% recommended. Hard working professionals that know every single corner of South America. You will not get it wrong.
-Joaquin B, USA
We had a truly incredible experience on our trip organized by Landed. I would highly recommend.
-Ben M, USA
I cannot say enough positive things about our Landed experience. 10 of us were traveling for over 2 weeks throughout Chile and they guided us every step of the way and thought of every detail. The trip was so smooth and wonderful because of their careful planning. The Vamoos app which guided our journey was also a great asset. An Ipad was left at the first property and they arranged to have it meet us at the final property. Quick response time on all of our questions. The attention to every detail made this trip a 10/10!!
-Jane G, USA
Everything was just so easy and so wonderful. You guys planned literally everything (including making sure our vegetarian needs were met), and it was seamless. We cannot recommend you enough!
-Molly F, USA
Our three-week trip through Peru with three teenage children was exactly that bonding and sharing experience we had hoped for. The rhythm, the variety, and the tone of locations and activities was spot on. Not obvious when planning takes place across two continents, a 7-hour time difference, and between perfect strangers. With effective listening and probing skills, you built a good picture of what we were looking for, which was more complicated than “just” luxury. The result was a great trip, one that felt like it was very much made just for us. Beyond the expected expertise and knowledge of the country, we liked the fact that the guides, hoteliers, and others we met in Peru all knew and liked you personally. Because of your relationships, they really gave their best in making our trip memorable. 
- G. Holschuh (Brussels, Belgium)
The hotel and dining selections were fantastic – so much so that we went back to one of the restaurants on our final night.
-Clynn G, USA
The trip was a huge success. Galapagos was perfect, and Peru was great–not easy for a family of 20. The hotels were amazing–each truly great. The guides you arranged could not have been more kind and helpful. Your on-the-ground team was fantastic–very knowledgeable and accommodating. Nothing but totally positive things to say; I have been bragging about the trip to everyone we know. It was beautifully organized–the trip of a lifetime. A wonderful introduction to countries you love, and now we know why! 
- J. Cormier (New York, NY)

Could not have been more pleased.  This was the trip of a lifetime for our family.  Thank you! 

- S. Gentry (San Clemente, CA)
All the travel arrangements worked seamlessly!
-Keith M, USA
What an amazing adventure we have had.  Many thanks to you for putting it together. The whole rhythm of the trip was perfect, and leaving one place for the next worked perfectly. This trip definitely made me want to experience other great spots in South America as the people have been wonderful and the places incredible. Wish we had a month to really explore.  Everybody in the family had a great life experience. Thanks again! 
- S. Ecenia (Knoxville, TN)

Just returned from Costa Rica and want to thank you for your planning. It was fabulous. LANDED arranged perfect excursions, the guides were fabulous, and the hotels were heaven. Not a hitch along the way…just perfection. 

- S. Acsher (New York, NY)

Great service, great guides, great attention to details!

-Scott S, USA

Everywhere we went, we felt cared for.

-Sabrina P, USA

Thank you so much for putting together one of the best trips ever. My family and I ran out of superlatives to describe how much we enjoyed our trip to Peru. Every activity was filled with awe, wonder, education, inspiration, excitement, and fun. We loved our tour guides and we were blown away by our accomodations. You did not miss a trick. It is so apparent how much hard work and effort you put into creating the experience of a lifetime. We are so grateful, and couldn’t be more impressed with the results. 

- S. Potter (Woodbury, NY)

LANDED was very helpful in planning and implementing our trip to Costa Rica. They answered all of our questions, researched different ideas, kept in contact with us throughout the whole week. I appreciated your personal touch. We all had a wonderful time and I would recommend LANDED to anyone. 

- L. Brady (Salt Lake City, UT)

LANDED did an excellent job planning our trip to Argentina. He quickly grasped our likes and dislikes and planned a customized itinerary to suit our needs. We can’t wait to use him again for our next trip. As a matter of fact, we just got back and have planned the next one to Costa Rica. 

- R. Greenberg (New York, NY)

I wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time! The Awasi was unbelievable; our guide Alexander couldn’t have been any better as a guide. The Singular was first rateEverything!!! I wanted to also say how fantastic your team was; you helped us through the airport, and were so wonderfully helpful and pleasant with any change of plans. Our guide in Valparaiso was also 5-star. We are in Miami now waiting on our plane to go home and I couldn’t wait to tell you “thank you” for a job well done!  

- A. Haney (Pittsburg, PA)

One of our best trips ever, made excellent by LANDED‘s attention to detail. When planning the trip our travel planner listened to us carefully, asked the right questions, and customized the trip to have just the right balance of adventure and city sights for us. The guides and drivers were superb. The hotels were top notch. We felt relaxed and pampered all the way. Will definitely look to LANDED to plan our next trip to South America. 

- M. & J. Siegel (New Rochelle, NY)

My recent trip to South America was amazing; I spent the entire trip in Peru, traveling from the north to the south and from coast to inland lakes, both in the air and on the ground. I was very lucky to be traveling with John Montgomery, Co-Founder of LANDED. I cannot say enough good things about John and LANDED; they are very knowledgeable in every aspect of South and Central America. They have, on a first name basis, contacts with hotels, guides and transportation. LANDED also is aware of those off the beaten path hotels that make this type of trip worthwhile. If you are planning to go to South America get in touch with LANDED, you will not be disappointed.     

- H. Sandler (New York, NY)

Just wanted to drop you a note to say “thank you”. We had a lovely trip. Everything worked out very nicely. The hotels and tour services were top quality. Of note, our tour guides in Buenos Aires and in Rio were wonderful. I should add that while our Rio guide was a 10 out of 10, our Buenos Aires guide was an 11 out of 10—just one of those very special people you meet only every once in a while.  Just lovely. Certainly we will keep you in mind for our future trips to Central/South America and will refer you to my friends and colleagues.   

- E. Hanauer (New York, NY)

Terrific trip from start to finish.  The hotels were perfect.  Viña Vik is on my list of most amazing hotels ever.  Our guide in Buenos Aires, Ariana, was tremendous. I would highly recommend her. She was smart, informative, nice, professional and fun. She did a great job with everything—even waiting in line with us for almost two hours at the airport on our way to Chile.  In Santiago, our guide, Alex, knew so much about the area and shared everything with us. I would recommend him highly. 

- J. Devine (St. Louis, MO)

Absolutely amazing. Thanks again John. Carlos was the best guide I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Top notch talent. 

- T. Hill (Fort Worth, TX)

We returned yesterday from our trip and I wanted to let you know that it was absolutely amazing!  There is not a single thing on the itinerary that we would change.  The guides were knowledgable, friendly, and prompt.  The hotels were beautiful, the food delicious and the pace of the activities was perfect for us. Thank you so much for making our trip such a fantastic experience. 

- B. Baltes (E. Rockaway, NY)

I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to you for assisting me with my plans to visit Argentina. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful and memorable 25th anniversary in Buenos Aires and the sight of Igauzu was a once-in-a-lifetime memory. The guides did not disappoint. They were positive, fluent, and connected with us on a personal level. We dined in fine restaurants and had terrific seats for the ballet in the Colon Opera House–wow, what a sight to see! Again, thank you for the fabulous memories. I will be sure to recommend you to anyone interested in planning a trip to South America. 

- K. Fishel (New York, NY)

In short, our trip was amazing, and, as we had hoped, the Inca civilization was fascinating to us. Thanks so much for your constant assistance and thorough planning. 

- H. Liroff (Minneapolis, MN)

Working with LANDED on our Costa Rica trip was like working with family. They took the time to get to know our family-our likes and dislikes-and as a result planned the perfect trip for us. 

- A. Cantor (Woodbury, NY)

The planning, service and execution of the trip was flawless – thank you for making it perfect! 

- R. Hayek (San Francisco, CA)

LANDED‘s services were excellent. You were helpful and knowledgeable, making our trip a memorable one.  I will use your services in the future as I continue to explore Central & South America. 

- A. Reynolds (Tucson, AZ)

It was like being in a very well organized dream. Your patience with my questions and concerns during the planning stage was remarkable. 

- W. Sibley (New York, NY)

LANDED helped make our visit to Colombia a truly unique experience. We’re hoping more people from the States choose Colombia as a travel destination and strongly recommend LANDED to ensure their trips are as wonderfully managed as ours. 

- N. Bregar (Chicago, IL)

We’re heading home from an extraordinary adventure in Peru. Thank you for organizing such a perfect trip. We experienced the magic of these landscapes and cultures, all while relaxing in beautiful mountain resorts–a perfect mix! 

- R. Rosenberg (New York, NY)

I’ve never had such great service from a tour operator. Not only were you a great help on the planning-insuring that I was staying at the right places and enjoying the type of activities we love-but the follow up was incredible. Your team checked in with us several times during the trip to confirm that everything was going well, and that the guides you assigned were satisfying us. It’s one thing to get a “thank you card” or a “hope your trip was great” note after you’re back, but to insure that it’s going well during the trip is a welcome first! I look forward to working with you again on a another trip. 

- C. Leavitt (New York, NY)

You actually got to know us, which made it possible to know just what we like. You promised the best trip ever and you kept your promise. 

- B. Furstenberg (Roxbury, NY)

Impressed with the trip ‘handbook’ you sent us and the follow-up during our trip to Brazil. You are friendly and professional. Every event happened on schedule, and the guides were very pleasant and intelligent. 

- H. Glickman (Newark, NJ)

The entire trip was amazing. Both the hotel & restaurant recommendations were well thought out and helped us thoroughly enjoy our honeymoon. 

- C. Venezia (New York, NY)

LANDED is like the ultimate guide, directing us to the high points and helping us get the most out of our vacation time. 

- F. Greenberg (New York, NY)

LANDED made our trip to Guatemala a great experience. From your knowledge of the area and local restaurants to recommendations for sightseeing, LANDED is an A+ company. You provided us with personalized service that bigger companies just can’t match. 

- A. Shaut (New York, NY)

We wanted to thank you for your help with planning and coordinating all the details of our amazing honeymoon in Peru. Everything went really well. All of the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Your telephone call while we were in the Sacred Valley was so appreciated. It was nice to know you were keeping track of everything from back home. Ending the trip at Isla Suasi was perfect–relaxing and stress-free. Hopefully, our next trip to Central or South America won’t be too far away, and we’ll be contacting you again soon. 

- J. Werblin (New York, NY)
