  • "Millennial Luxury Group Travel"

    This trip is designed for travelers that want to stay in nice accommodations, eat local/farm to table food, support local economies all while staying active and maybe drinking a little local wine and port along on the way! It was great to just show up and have everything organized for us. Thank you for the great trip MBT.
    -Alice, Portugal traveler

  • "Special: a great combination of comfort zone push and joyous comfortable adventures. "

    It was a wonderful experience that contained a good balance of historical sites, 1:1 experiences with artisans, nature adventures, and time to explore on your own. Something for everyone or every one of your areas of interest.
    - Iris, Japan traveler

  • "Something I could have never experienced solo"

    As someone who travels a lot, I didn't think that a group trip was for me. Traveling to Portugal with MBT was such a different experience, and something I could have never experienced solo. I walked away with new friends and great memories without a lot of time spent planning.
    - Megen, Portugal traveler

  • "Well worth it!"

    We couldn't have had a better travel guide experience than from Lizzy at Meridian. Thorough, timely, imaginative, flexible, responsive, problem-solver....and fun. I hope we can avail her services again. Would not have been the same trip by far.
    -Stephen, Vietnam + Cambodia traveler

  • "Enchanting"

    Traveling to Portugal with Meridian was an enchanting journey that felt truly magical. The experience was enriched by the incredible women we traveled with. We explored Portugal’s diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history, cuisine making every moment unforgettable. This trip stands out as one of my all-time favorites, thanks to the beautiful connections and the captivating allure of Portugal.
    - Maylin, Portugal traveler

    An unforgettable and transformative experience — inspiring, memorable, and sparking a desire to return and continue exploring.

    - DeAnna, Japan traveler

  • "Fulfilling, life changing, challenging, fun."

    Lizzy makes it easy by taking care of logistics every step of the way. The unique experiences and her established relationships offer access to things most people might never think to try. You only have to worry about showing up and being open to the culture.
