Experiences you remember.
A trip isn't defined by the places you visit, but by the moments that happen in them.
Real experiences
Experiencias diseñadas con diferentes propósitos. Siempre estoy abierto a diseñar experiencias nuevas para ti.
How I design the experiences
Designing an experience starts with the first call. It's a method built on active listening: in that conversation I get a feel for each traveler — what their intent is, what they want to experience, whether they want to get to know the country, celebrate something, or show their family or partner some specific side of the place they're visiting — and also which parts of the destination interest them most. That's where I start shaping the itinerary, and the experiences I design afterward are the ones that feed that desire.
With that clarity, I work with my local partners: I explore the experiences we already have defined for the destination, create new ones if needed, and from there design the rhythm the trip will follow — the days in each place, when and how those experiences unfold, and also when nothing is scheduled at all. Rhythm matters to a trip just as much as the experiences themselves.
Those empty gaps with nothing planned aren't an oversight: they're a design decision, just like choosing a hotel or the order of the stages. What people remember when they get home is often what happened on those days with nothing planned. To make room for a trip to unfold into unique moments, all you can really do is choose the place, the season and the moment well — and then leave space for it to happen.

Zambezi River, near Victoria Falls
Sunset cruise on the Ra-Ikane, facing Victoria Falls
A peaceful sunset cruise on the Zambezi, aboard a boat with a name and history of its own.
View experience: Sunset cruise on the Ra-Ikane, facing Victoria Falls
The Ra-Ikane boats are named after Lazarus Ra-Ikane, the local guide who helped David Livingstone on his expedition along the Zambezi. Today their monohulls, with a maximum capacity of 16 passengers, sail a circular route among the river's islets as the sun sets over the water — a serene way to close the day before heading into Botswana.

Victoria Falls
"Flight of Angels" helicopter flight over Victoria Falls
Twelve minutes in the air to see the falls from end to end.
View experience: "Flight of Angels" helicopter flight over Victoria Falls
The name comes from a line by David Livingstone in 1855, on seeing the falls for the first time: "a sight so beautiful it must have been gazed upon by angels in flight." Twelve minutes aboard a helicopter are enough to understand why: the full gorge, the permanent rainbow over the mist, and the true scale of the falls can only be appreciated from the air.

Chobe National Park
Night safari in Chobe
A spotlight game drive after sunset, when the predators wake up.
View experience: Night safari in Chobe
When night falls over Chobe, the park changes rhythm: leopards, hyenas, and other nocturnal predators come out to hunt. The only way to see them in full activity is on a spotlight game drive, guided by expert trackers who know the movements of each pack.

A silent glide in a traditional canoe, alongside elephants and hippos.
View experience: Mokoro through the channels of the Okavango Delta
The mokoro is the traditional canoe of the Okavango Delta, poled standing up by a local guide. Gliding silently through the channels, at water level, is a completely different way to see the delta — and its wildlife, from elephants on the bank to submerged hippos — than a 4x4 safari.

Tuktuk food tour through Xi'an's Muslim Quarter
A nighttime tuktuk tour through the alleys of Xi'an's Muslim Quarter, tasting four dishes you won't find on the usual tourist routes.
View experience: Tuktuk food tour through Xi'an's Muslim Quarter
As night falls, a private tuktuk winds through the hidden streets and alleys of Xi'an's Muslim Quarter that only the city's own residents know. Along the way, four distinctive dishes are sampled — from family-run stalls open for generations to recipes handed down through the years — an immersion into the city's most genuine, least-known cuisine, far from the tourist-restaurant circuit.

Yangshuo (Guilin)
Cooking class on a farm near Yangshuo
A hands-on cooking class at a farm outside Yangshuo, among the karst mountains, starting with shopping for ingredients at the local market.
View experience: Cooking class on a farm near Yangshuo
The experience starts with a visit to a local Yangshuo market to learn the essential ingredients of Guilin-region cooking. Then, in the courtyard of a farm surrounded by karst scenery, guests learn to prepare signature dishes such as beer fish, eggplant with soy and oyster sauce, or duck with pickled ginger and chiles — enjoyed afterward, freshly made, in that same courtyard.

View experience: Calligraphy class at the Gao Family residence
At the historic Gao Family residence, guided by local masters, guests learn the ancestral techniques of Chinese calligraphy — the stroke, the ink, the brush — in the setting of a traditional courtyard with centuries of history. A hands-on, personal way to approach an ancient Chinese art, very different from viewing it behind a museum case.

Shanghai (former French Concession)
Stroll through Tianzifang
A walk through Tianzifang, the maze of alleys in Shanghai's former French Concession, now reinvented as galleries, craft workshops, and cafés.
View experience: Stroll through Tianzifang
Tianzifang is a former residential quarter of Shanghai's French Concession that has kept its narrow-alley layout and shikumen houses, today home to a cluster of small craft shops, art galleries, cafés, and independent restaurants. A human-scale counterpoint to the skyscrapers of Pudong, ideal for wandering without a fixed plan.

Tayrona National Natural Park (near Santa Marta)
Visit to Tayrona National Park
Rainforest, pristine beaches, and a mountain that drops straight into the Caribbean, in a territory the Kogi people of the Sierra Nevada consider sacred.
View experience: Visit to Tayrona National Park
Tayrona National Park occupies the stretch where the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world's highest coastal mountain range, descends to the Caribbean in just a few kilometers: tropical rainforest, crystal-clear rivers, and white-sand beaches separated by rounded rock formations. For the Kogi, one of the four Indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada and direct descendants of the Tayrona civilization that gives the park its name, this mountain is the "Heart of the World": a sacred territory that still shapes their understanding of the balance between nature and humankind, and one that preserves Tayrona archaeological remains, such as those at Pueblito, within the park's boundaries. The visit follows trails between jungle and coast, from Cañaveral beach to Cabo San Juan del Guía, passing through Arrecifes, Arenilla, and the Piscina Natural.

Leticia (Amazonas, Colombia's southern tip)
Amazon extension in Leticia
Two nights at an eco-lodge deep in the Amazon rainforest, with a visit to Amacayacu Natural Park and a meeting with an Indigenous curaca.
View experience: Amazon extension in Leticia
At Colombia's southern tip, where the country narrows between Peru and Brazil, Leticia is the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. The Calanoa Reserve, a wooden eco-lodge on the Amazon River, serves as a base for exploring Amacayacu Natural Park along three guided eco-routes — medicinal plants, river wildlife, and Indigenous culture — and for a meeting with the region's curaca, who shares her people's customs. The day closes with a traditional patarasca lunch: river fish grilled over charcoal and wrapped in bijao leaf.

A guided walk through the canopy of the Monteverde cloud forest by day, among orchids, giant ferns, and birdsong, followed by a second nighttime outing along the same trails, when the forest changes completely in sound and wildlife: glass frogs, active sloths, and arachnids that only reveal themselves after dark. Two visits to the same place, two completely different experiences.

A crossing of the Nile by boat and a final stretch by camel to a village of brightly colored houses, home to the Nubians, one of Egypt's oldest and most distinctive peoples.
View experience: The Nubian village of Gharb Soheil, by boat and by camel
From a small dock in Aswan, a boat crosses the Nile to the far bank, where a stop allows for a swim on a small stretch of fine sand before continuing by camel to Gharb Soheil, the Nubian village. Nubia was the region spanning southern Egypt and northern Sudan, and its people — with very dark skin and distinctive features — are considered the most authentic Egyptians in the country. Brightly colored houses and stalls selling food and spices round out the visit to one of the most strongly identity-driven villages in all of Egypt.

A full day in the Emirates' capital, between the art of a one-of-a-kind museum and the country's largest mosque.
View experience: Abu Dhabi in a day: the Louvre, Qasr Al Watan, and the Grand Mosque
I set aside a full day to cross over to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the Emirates, without the rush of a half-day excursion. We start at the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum, whose great metal dome filters the light of the Persian Gulf as if it were the canopy of a giant palm tree, over a collection that crosses cultures and centuries without distinguishing between East and West. We continue along the Corniche, with the Emirates Palace hotel and the skyline of Al Maryah Island in the background, to Qasr Al Watan, the presidential palace open to the public, with its marble halls and great golden dome. After lunch at a local restaurant, the afternoon is for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest in the world, with 82 white marble domes and the largest hand-woven carpet ever made. We finish with a panoramic drive around Yas Island, before returning to Dubai or spending the night in Abu Dhabi.

We arrive at a camp built like an old Arabian fortress, where a falconer teaches how to hold a falcon on your own arm with a leather glove, while others try camel or horseback riding, get henna tattoos, or smoke shisha under the tents. The evening continues with a grilled buffet dinner and live shows — belly dance, tanoura, Emirati dance — before returning to the city.

There, the balloon is inflated as the sky begins to lighten, and liftoff almost always coincides with sunrise: the pristine dunes of the Dubai desert light up in orange and pink beneath the balloon, in a silence that contrasts with the bustle of the city just an hour away. The flight lasts about an hour, and the morning ends with a gourmet breakfast served right in the desert before returning to the hotel.

The Casa Medrano in Argamasilla de Alba preserves the cell where Miguel de Cervantes was once imprisoned — some say over trouble with his work as a tax collector, others because he courted Medrano's daughter. There, by candlelight and with a quill pen, he wrote part of his masterwork; today you can sit at the same table and see the cot where he slept. The evening is rounded off with a dinner of small dishes drawn from recipes in the book itself: salmorejo, asadillo manchego, gachas manchegas, migas del pastor, duelos y quebrantos, pisto manchego, and roast suckling lamb shoulder, among others.

A kaiki, the traditional Greek fishermen's boat, fully restored and equipped for private sailing, leads the way to coves and sea caves of clear water that mass tourism and the big catamarans never reach. The crew knows exactly where to anchor for a swim with no one else around, and lunch is served on board, with local produce, as the boat rocks gently off the coast.

In Agra and other parts of Rajasthan, visits to the forts are arranged outside regular opening hours, avoiding the lines and loudspeakers of large tour groups and allowing courtyards and halls to be explored at a leisurely pace, as if the place were reserved exclusively for you. At Amber Fort, the final ascent can be made by elephant, climbing the stone ramp to the fort's gate just as the maharajahs themselves once did.

A private boat sails the Ganges before sunrise, as the first worshippers make their way down to the ghats for the ritual purification bath and the funeral pyres, which burn without interruption around the clock, continue to smolder on the bank. It's one of India's most intense and least filtered scenes: daily life, faith, and death coexisting in plain sight, with nothing staged for the visitor. At dusk, a fire ceremony — the aarti — closes the day with chanting, incense, and hundreds of candles floating on the water, set to a live concert of classical Indian music — sitar and tabla.

Sólheimajökull is an outlet tongue of the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap, beneath which the Katla volcano sleeps. The walk, adapted to each traveler's level, ventures into a world of crevasses, moulins, and ice ridges in constant change — the glacier retreats year after year, so the exact landscape walked today will never be repeated. The contrast between the blue ice, the black volcanic ash trapped in its layers, and the surrounding mountains makes this walk one of the most photographed — and most physical — experiences in southern Iceland.

Iceland's lava caves are the empty veins of its volcanoes: they form when molten lava flows beneath an already-hardened crust and, once the eruption stops, drains away, leaving behind a hollow tunnel. The visit descends a metal staircase into the interior of one of these tubes, with the volcanic rock walls lit up and total silence once the lights go out. It's a way to understand, quite literally from the inside, how the island was built.

Large blocks of ice constantly break off the tongue of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and drift through the Jökulsárlón lagoon, which reaches depths of up to 248 meters. A short boat ride — zodiac or amphibious, depending on the season — brings you close enough to the icebergs to appreciate their blue tones and shapes, sculpted by water and wind. The current sweeps the smaller blocks out to sea, and the tide returns them, polished, to the neighboring black volcanic-sand beach: Diamond Beach, where the clear ice scatters like diamonds across the sand.

Known locally as Gamla Laugin ('the old pool'), this lagoon was built in 1891 next to an active geothermal area near Flúðir, fed by hot springs and a small geyser that still erupts every few minutes in front of bathers. The sulfur-rich water fully renews itself every 24 hours through the natural flow of the hot springs, and stays between 38 and 40 degrees year-round. Unlike the Blue Lagoon, the setting here remains simple and rural — an open field, steam rising off the water, and very few voices around.

View experience: The Umayyad desert castles: Qasr Kharraneh, Amra, and Azraq
East of Amman, deep in the desert, the Umayyad caliphs, who had made Damascus their capital in 661 CE, built a series of retreats combining political, residential, agricultural, and commercial functions. Partly using older structures and blending Greco-Roman, Byzantine, and Persian styles, they created some of the most impressive examples of early Islamic art and architecture, with frescoes and figurative reliefs that survive thirteen centuries later. The visit covers three of them — Qasr Kharraneh, with its nearly intact facade; Qusayr Amra, famous for its baths and murals; and the fort of Qasr Azraq, built over an oasis that served as T.E. Lawrence's base during the Arab Revolt —, in a desert that sees barely any tourism.

At a family restaurant in Cappadocia, the chef guides the preparation of a traditional Turkish menu with fresh, local produce, explaining each step so it can be repeated at home. Afterward, the meal itself is served as dinner — a way to get to know Cappadocian cuisine that's much closer than a typical tourist restaurant.

View experience: Historic Çemberlitaş hamam
Built in 1584 on the orders of Nurbanu Sultan and designed by Sinan, the Ottoman Empire's foremost architect, the Çemberlitaş hamam is one of Istanbul's most traditional — and most elegant. Marble domes, columns, and lanterns that let in natural light frame a bathing ritual with centuries of history: separate sections for men and women, communal areas and private cubicles, with a full massage package to finish.

Ortaköy, Çamlıca, and Beylerbeyi, Istanbul's Asian side
Istanbul's Asian side: Ortaköy, Çamlıca, and Beylerbeyi Palace
The other side of the Bosphorus: the Ortaköy neighborhood, Çamlıca Hill, and the Beylerbeyi summer palace.
View experience: Istanbul's Asian side: Ortaköy, Çamlıca, and Beylerbeyi Palace
Most visitors to Istanbul never cross to its Asian side. This route begins in Ortaköy, with the Bosphorus Bridge as a backdrop, and continues to Çamlıca Hill, the city's highest point, with simultaneous views of both continents and the newest and largest mosque on the Asian shore. The visit ends at Beylerbeyi Palace, the sultan's family summer residence, where you get a sense of a much more informal kind of palace life than that of Topkapi.

Old Quarter, Hanoi
Street food in the Old Quarter
Salads, rice rolls, and noodles eaten standing alongside locals.
View experience: Street food in the Old Quarter
A walking tour of Hanoi's Old Quarter, stopping at street stalls that have served the same dish for generations: green papaya salad with dried meat, steamed rice rolls filled by the fire, and charcoal-grilled pork noodles eaten standing or seated on low stools, shoulder to shoulder with neighborhood locals. Northern Vietnamese cuisine is best understood this way, chewing in the street, rather than reading a translated menu in a restaurant for tourists.

Hue
Cooking in a three-generation garden home
A three-generation family opens its kitchen and its history, with a foot bath to finish.
View experience: Cooking in a three-generation garden home
In a village on a riverbank, a three-generation family opens its kitchen and garden to share a full day: you cook alongside them, following recipes found in no restaurant, and eat at their own table. The experience ends with a foot bath using herbs gathered from the garden, a traditional Vietnamese gesture of hospitality that closes the visit on a note of calm after hours of conversation and shared cooking.

Ha Long Bay
Sunrise aboard in Ha Long Bay
A cruise among limestone islets, caves, and emerald waters.
View experience: Sunrise aboard in Ha Long Bay
An overnight cruise among the limestone islets of Ha Long Bay, with natural caves and emerald waters that change shade several times a day depending on the light. Those who want can paddle a small bamboo boat to coves not visible from the main ship's deck, surrounded by rock walls that rise straight out of the water. Sleeping on board, with the engine off and the landscape in complete silence, is the part most travelers remember best.

- Culture
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap
Angkor Wat at dawn, in private
Leaving before sunrise to reach the temple while it's still empty.
View experience: Angkor Wat at dawn, in private
Leaving the hotel before dawn to reach Angkor Wat while no one else is there yet. The temple, carved in the 12th century and considered one of the largest religious monuments in the world, is explored unhurriedly while the low light of dawn highlights the detail of the stone bas-reliefs. It's a radically different experience from visiting mid-morning with the rest of the groups: the silence and absence of people make the place feel newly discovered.

Mekong Delta
Villages and trades of the south: orchards, canals, and workshops
Cycling among orchards, a sampan through narrow canals, and water hyacinth workshops.
View experience: Villages and trades of the south: orchards, canals, and workshops
A full day in the Mekong Delta, by bicycle among organic tropical fruit orchards, and then by sampan — a narrow traditional boat — along canals that narrow until barely fitting the vessel. The visit includes family workshops where bags and mats are hand-woven from water hyacinth, an invasive plant repurposed as a craft material, and trades passed down from parents to children that have never been written in any manual.

Good trip, very solid overall. Recommendable as a personal travel advisor.
We finally decided to take the trip to Egypt, and Willy made it wonderful. Personalized service from the start, talking with us as many times as needed, listening to what we wanted to do and taking our needs into account, since I have Multiple Sclerosis. That's how he made every visit spectacular. He also works with the best local guides, which was the icing on the cake.
We took a trip with Will to Egypt in April. It was perfect! He took care of every detail and it was a different, wonderful trip. We're already thinking about where to go next year, whether with Will again or... repeating Egypt, since there's so much we still haven't seen!
A unique experience. We traveled to Egypt and Will organized the perfect trip for us. The situation is complicated right now, but everything was planned down to the last detail, and it was a very, very special trip. We'll travel with Will again without a doubt!
The organization was a success. Everything thought through down to the detail, and he made sure we were doing well throughout the whole trip! Highly recommendable
William managed our last trip. He was attentive to us at every moment and organized the full package for us very warmly.
After many years wanting to travel to Thailand, Will finally put together a custom trip for our family. We couldn't be happier with the experience — everything was organized to perfection, exactly to our taste and designed for traveling with 2 girls. Airport pickups, transfers, excursions... every hotel we stayed at was a great choice. If we take another trip like this, we'll definitely do it with Will.
Will organized our trip to Oman very quickly and exceptionally well. He was very attentive to us the whole time. THANK YOU SO MUCH Will, until the next trip.
Just back from a wonderful trip through Costa Rica that Willy organized for us. Speechless — it was a very special trip, prepared with care just for us, without a single detail missing. Everything perfect. We felt like we were on a second honeymoon 😄
Last year was our first trip organized by Willy — a safari in Tanzania and relaxing in Zanzibar — and it was so fantastic that we've done it again. Good things come in threes...
Our experience has been wonderful. Will organized our trip around Thailand to perfection, matching exactly what we wanted in terms of places to visit, type of hotels, etc. We had private transport at all times (comfortable, safe, punctual) and didn't have to worry about a thing. The excursions were private and customized, with professional guides who gave us a real sense of the local culture while also looking after our wellbeing. Will kept in touch during our trip and resolved an issue remotely as soon as we let him know. Even though we had a set itinerary, we had the option to adjust the schedule a bit along the way and even make a last-minute change, which made the trip even more enjoyable, without stress or unnecessary early mornings. We recommend this agency and will definitely be back!
We were on safari in the Masai Mara reserve (Kenya) and spent a few relaxing days in Zanzibar (Tanzania). It was a spectacular trip, organized by Will down to every last detail. He's always making sure everything goes well. We were lucky to find Will to put together our honeymoon. Thanks, champion, for everything! An unforgettable trip!
We just finished our second big trip with Will. The first was last summer to Tanzania, and this time we traveled through Norway. It's been absolutely amazing. Once again, better than we expected, which is hard given how high the bar already was. Having visited Oslo, Bergen and Ålesund (and the nearby fjords), the Lofoten Islands, in the north of the country, felt like being on another planet. We had a dream house on a small island, and got around by our own boat. Landscapes and endless sunsets — you have to go there to really understand it. The whole trip came together perfectly again: wonderful hotels, exquisite meals at the best restaurants, and incredible activities in dreamlike settings: a river cruise, a fishing boat, a speedboat safari. And all of it with excellent guides. That said, we're already thinking about our next destination with Will...
The first was last summer to Tanzania. It's been absolutely amazing. Once again, better than we expected, which is hard given how high the bar already was.
Magnificent attention to detail and quality in every sense. We'll be back.
I'm not one to write reviews. But this time I have to. He organized the best trip to Egypt you could imagine for us. The hotels, the guides, the cruise, the excursions — all perfect. Personalized service that still felt personal. I can't recommend him enough.
William put together our honeymoon trip. CHINA. It's a fairly complicated destination to do on your own. Everything went perfectly — the transfers, the choice of hotels, the restaurants and the guides... He got us Spanish-speaking guides in every city we visited, and there were quite a few. And working with him is wonderful — he knows how to understand what you need, and his suggestions are spot on. Next up... southern India...?
I loved how Will organized the trip — he gives you great advice and listens to recommend what's best for you. He adds touches that make your trip unique!!!
Fantastic, unbeatable!!! I won't tell you how different a travel agency is from a Personal Travel Advisor like William Fogg — I'll just ask you to see for yourself. You'll be surprised by the details, and I won't say more — you might think "I don't believe it," and it's better you say that once you've tried it, because you WON'T BELIEVE IT...
I really enjoyed the week-long getaway to Egypt. Everything perfectly organized, taking into account the pandemic, which limits movement a lot. We had a wonderful time. I'll be back
We're a family of 4 who love to travel. Our experience with Willi on our trip to Colombia was wonderful. He designed a route for us with the best activities and guides. The service we received, both while planning the trip and during it, was unbeatable. He took care of every last detail and made sure we had an unforgettable vacation. We'll be back soon
He organized our honeymoon, to Mexico! A very popular destination that everyone chooses, but this trip wasn't like all the others — if there's one thing that sets him apart from any agency, it's a TRULY CUSTOM TRIP, everything designed around us, our tastes, with advice and hidden gems we never would have discovered without him. Thank you for this AMAZING experience, we couldn't be happier!!! 100% recommendable if what you're looking for is MORE than just a trip! Will there be a next trip? FOR SURE!
