Here is what  A.M. Bespoke Travel clients have to say:

Italy

"Alex is a knowledgeable, creative professional who also brought us a bit of whimsy in planning our girls’ trip to Florence and Venice.  He was flexible and good-natured about coordinating the desires of three women—and in suggesting and arranging  a private cooking class for us that provided the best travel experience I have ever enjoyed." Lynne L 

India

"We worked with Alex for our honeymoon last year and it was the holiday of a life time. He spent time getting to know us, and understanding what angle to approach the holiday from (all we had given him was "India"). He then tailored a trip that there is no way in the world I could have come up with, even if I had had the time. One of the best components of the trip was the personalised attention we received from the managers at the hotels, which was a direct result of Alex's relationships and something that would be difficult to replicate with anyone else. Alex truly has a passion for travel and it was a very worthwhile investment to make for our trip - I very often think back of all the wonderful times my wife and I had together." Scott C

France

"Alex impressed me with his "yes, we can do that" approach to just about anything I asked for. Our trip to Burgundy was designed just for us, based on our priorities. He went way beyond what I expected to solve the inevitable "surprises" we encountered on our trip (ie cancelled trains, restaurant re-bookings, on the fly changes to itineraries, etc). If you want to have "trip of a lifetime" travel experience, Alex is the guy to deliver it." Gary W.

Peru

_“If you are looking for the trip of a lifetime, a tailored travel experience with attention to details and total peace of mind Alex is your go-to person. I have travelled to many countries on all 5 continents and Peru in 2011 was exceptional thanks to Alex. He is insightful, thorough, a great listener and a world traveller himself. 10/10.”Sylvie B.

Chicago & Barcelona

"I have known Alex for about 10 years - we went to U of Chicago Booth School of Business together. I remember from school that Alex was really smart and hardworking but when I hired him to plan a very special celebration vacation for me and my husband I had no idea how creative and well connected he was! Alex is THE go-to person in the world of travel. He is a great listener and he uses the information he gathers by listening to you to create one of a kind experiences. And he has the connections to make any dream come true.

For example, when he found out my husband is a "foodie" he arranged for a chef at a Michelin 3 star restaurant to give my husband a cooking lesson. I would never have even thought of that!!! And even if I had thought of it there is no way I could make it happen. So that is why you hire Alex - to make amazing experiences happen.

When I traveled to Barcelona this year Alex got us reservations at hard-to-get-into restaurants, hired me a personal tour guide, and hired a fashion photographer to give me private lessons!!! I will never travel again without Alex's input and planning. Never. Oh, and he gives each client a super detailed itinerary, complete with photos, and he gives your trip a snappy name. So clever. I could go on and on about how smart, talented, detail-oriented, reliable, creative, professional, and well connected Alex is but I hope you get the picture and that you will just pick up the phone and call him and let him plan your next trip. Tip: do whatever he tells you to do - trust him completely and your trip will be first rate!" Liz H.

Spain

“My husband and I hired Alex to plan a day in Barcelona and a day in Madrid for our recent trip to Spain. Not only did Alex find a superlative and expert guide for our private tour of the Gaudi architecture in Barcelona, but he also snagged reservations for us at the Adria brothers' (of 3-star El Bulli fame) hot, new 41° restaurant. Alex is a pleasure to work with. Through skillful questioning and listening, he figures out what might interest you about a locale, then creates a wonderfully memorable experience. He found "off the beaten path" shops, restaurants, and sights that we never would have found on our own. He brings enthusiasm and expertise to his work and truly focuses on his client's needs. We will definitely be hiring Alex again!” Susan O.
