Buddy trips, bucket lists, and birthdays.
Twenty-five years of golf travel, across the courses that matter. A sample from clients who’ve traveled with us to Pinehurst, Pebble, Kohler, Old Head, Bandon, and beyond.
Having never planned (or participated in) a golf trip, I was unsure of many things. Peter Magaro was a godsend. While my buddies kept thanking me for putting together such a great trip, I was shifting much of the credit to Peter. From advice on how to handle the group dynamic, to insight on where to go, what courses to play, and what hotels and restaurants to consider, Peter had both firm answers and valued suggestions. I highly recommend Remarkable Travel Design.
J.Z. · First golf trip · Irvington, NY I've relied on Pete's meticulously planned golf trips several times, in the US and Ireland. Pete always delivers with golf, lodging and meals. 100% recommend for that once-in-a-lifetime (or more) golf experience.
A.I. · Repeat client · US & Ireland · New York, NY I've had the pleasure of going on many amazing golf trips over the years, planned by Peter Magaro. Locations include, but are not limited to: Kohler (Whistling Straits, Black Wolf Run, the Irish), Pinehurst, Kiawah Island, Sea Island, Streamsong, Pebble Beach and the Monterey Peninsula (Pebble, Spanish Bay, Spyglass, Poppy Hills). What makes these trips so special and enjoyable, other than the incredible locations themselves, is that Peter nails every detail; from accommodations, to tee times, to transportation and dining reservations, it's all taken care of. I can't recommend him highly enough.

K.M. · Pinehurst · International group · Glasgow, Scotland Peter Magaro has planned several trips for us across different locations, and each one has been absolutely outstanding.

Family trips, ski weeks, girls’ reunions.
Family trips, women’s reunions, solo getaways, and milestone travel across North America and Europe — designed by both of us, supported in the field. A few recent ones, in their own words.
I asked Lisa to design a six-day ski trip to Banff, Canada, and she handled every detail seamlessly — the rental car, the condo (I really wanted a space with a kitchen and laundry), ski gear rentals. She even arranged an all-mountain lift ticket on my budget. I called her from the airport when my flight was cancelled, and she handled that with ease too, setting me up on an unexpected overnight in Calgary. Lisa also shared insider tips that made the trip even more enjoyable — the best of each of the three mountains for my ski level (Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, Mt. Norquay), helpful local apps, where to eat downtown and grocery shop, what to pack for Banff's weather, and where to find the shortest lift lines. Thanks to her thoughtful planning, I was free to simply enjoy myself without worrying about logistics — and ski trips have many logistics. My trip exceeded my expectations in every way. I left feeling happy, accomplished, and recharged.
E.D. · Banff · 6-day ski trip · Norfolk, VA Lisa is an incredibly detailed, astute, and knowledgeable travel designer. She planned a trip to Bryce and Zion National Park for my friends and me, and made sure to book exactly the type of place we were looking for — away from the crowds, quiet, and still close to the park. She made dining recommendations and reservations for every day, and accurately planned driving times and scenic routes between the two parks. We had a blast, and it was so much more fun with Lisa in the background to take the weight of planning off our shoulders and check in case we had any more questions. I will never do a big trip without Remarkable Travel Design as my travel planning partner.
E.T. · Bryce & Zion · Friends · Mancos, CO I reached out to Lisa during an especially stressful time at work, knowing I needed a quick escape. Almost immediately, she came back with the perfect solution: a thoughtfully planned beach trip to Asbury Park. It was exactly what I needed — nearby, relaxing, affordable, and refreshing. Lisa handled every detail seamlessly. From the hotel reservations to dinner plans and even a concert. She also shared insider tips that made the trip even more enjoyable — which stretch of beach was best, what to pack, where to park. Thanks to her thoughtful planning, I was free to simply enjoy myself without worrying about logistics. I left feeling recharged.
C. · Asbury Park · Solo getaway · Beacon, NY Our girls' trip with Remarkable, to Sedona AZ, was incredible. What stood out most was the pacing: we had all the downtime we needed to relax and catch up with each other, while still experiencing the rich history, culture, and beauty of the place. Everything was thoughtfully planned and stress-free, which made the trip feel both fun and restorative. If you're looking for travel that blends authentic discovery with the ease of having every detail handled, I can't recommend Remarkable enough.
A.S. · Sedona · Girls' trip · Harvard, MA Lisa has planned several amazing trips for me and my family. Our weekend in Nashville was flawless, from the VIP tickets to a live show at The Grand Ole Opry, to a tour of the Johnny Cash Museum, to perfect hotel accommodations near Broadway. Every detail was thoughtfully planned. We even got several last-minute dinner reservations at hard-to-book spots. She created a stress-free vacation and a memorable experience — I couldn't have done it without her.
N.T. · Nashville · Weekend · Stamford, CT Our trip to Switzerland was truly magical, and we cannot thank Lisa and Peter enough for planning such an unforgettable experience for our family. This was our first European vacation with our children (ages 6 and 8), and from start to finish everything felt thoughtful, seamless, and incredibly well-planned. None of us wanted to leave. This trip exceeded all expectations, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Remarkable Travel Design to anyone looking for a thoughtful, high-touch travel experience. We're already dreaming about our next trip back to Switzerland and can't wait to plan it with them again.
K.S. · Switzerland · Family · Hartsdale, NY We had an incredible experience working with Lisa Magaro at Remarkable Travel Design for our trip to Switzerland and Ireland. Every detail — from car rentals to hotels in Zurich, Lucerne, Grindelwald, and Dingle — was flawlessly planned and perfectly suited to our style. She also stepped in last minute to help when our Dublin hotel canceled our room and found us another one. Lisa's impeccable eye for detail, superb taste, and thoughtful activity and dinner recommendations made the trip feel seamless, personalized, and unforgettable. Everything was organized beautifully, and it was clear how much care went into every part of our itinerary. We couldn't recommend her more highly.
B.H. · Switzerland & Ireland · Stamford, CT We had the most extraordinary week in Tuscany and cannot say enough about Lisa Magaro at Remarkable Travel Design. From a perfectly located hotel in Florence to a private wine tasting at Castello di Brolio that felt like it was designed just for us, every detail was thoughtful and seamless. The highlight no one could have found on their own was a tucked-away lunch spot in Greve — stunning views, incredible food, not a tourist in sight. Lisa handled our car rental, coordinated every moving piece, and made the whole trip feel effortless. We traveled with complete ease and came home already planning our next trip with her. Highest possible recommendation.
E.T. · Tuscany · Middletown, RI Lisa made our Charleston girls' reunion absolutely perfect from start to finish. She found us an incredible house, walkable to the historic district and the French Quarter, so we could easily stroll to everything we wanted to see. The Fort Sumter and Slave Museum tours she arranged were fascinating. Her restaurant and rooftop bar recommendations and reservations were spot-on — we didn't have a single disappointing meal or drink. Thanks to Lisa's expert planning, we could just focus on catching up and enjoying our time together instead of worrying about the details.
