This is our second time using Mr Hudson…

This is our second time using Mr Hudson for a vacation. It will not be our last! It is important to us to use a gay-focused/friendly travel partner. We don't much go out to clubs, bars, etc but our safety and comfort are paramount. And, I love that the process is incredibly collaborative. They really listen and make wonderful suggestions. We loved our time in Paris and London this time around.

Thank you so much, Robert, and we're genuinely grateful you came back to us for a second trip. It means a lot to know you felt safe and comfortable throughout, because that’s always non-negotiable for us as an LGBTQ-focused travel partner. We loved collaborating with you and Josh on this Paris + London itinerary, from settling into Le Pavillon de la Reine in Le Marais and enjoying expert-led touring (Louvre highlights, Invalides, Versailles, and Musée d’Orsay) to an effortless Eurostar hop to London for One Aldwych and privately guided deep-dives like the V&A and an architecture walk from St Paul’s to the Gherkin. I’m so happy you loved your time in both cities, and we’d be thrilled to plan the next one.

Thank you, Thomas — we truly appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure planning your London stay, from seamless private transfers to your time at The Savoy, and curating experiences that balanced culture, history, and personal interests. Highlights like the private Victoria & Albert Museum tour, exploring London’s architectural evolution, West End theatre, and the LGBTQ+ history walk were all designed to flow effortlessly. I’m delighted everything came together so smoothly, and we look forward to helping with your next journey.

Thank you, Mark. It was such a pleasure to design this summer escape for you and Bryce — from your days on Lake Como at Grand Hotel Tremezzo, to the charm of Masseria Torre Maizza in Puglia, island life in Hvar, and the beauty of Greece with stays on both Milos and Mykonos. I’m delighted you found the service attentive and considerate, and that my team and I could make your journey through Italy, Croatia, and Greece seamless and truly memorable.

Amazing Birthday Week

Put together a great birthday week celebration for my husband. Stayed at three of the best resorts in Ireland, Ballyfin, Adare Manor, and Sheen Falls Lodge. Mr. Hudson made recommendations that took this trip to the next level and made it a birthday to remember forever.

Excellent, seamless delivery of a travel plan

We did a brief teleconference with Baastian to discuss how we travel, the types of places we usually stay/eat/play, and what we were looking to experience during an upcoming trip to Patagonia. Mr. Hudson took that information and delivered a detailed itinerary that fit our needs and desires like a glove. The on-the-ground delivery was flawless. We will use them again.

Fantastic trip to Taiwan

Mr. Hudson gave a superb and smooth experience in planning our vacation to Taiwan. Bastiaan started off with a convenient call to discuss the scope and level expected in the trip for myself and my partner. The team was responsive to my questions and kept within budget. Mr. Hudson readily identified a great local agent for Taiwan that gave us an amazing guide and driver for the entire trip, which was critical since neither of us spoke Chinese. We were able to enjoy all the touristy sights of Taiwan (Taipei 101, night markets) while having private experiences on the way (a tea tasting, cooking class).

Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re delighted to hear your journey through Taiwan was smooth, enriching, and memorable. From the very first call, it was a pleasure getting to know your travel style and building an experience that blended iconic sights with intimate, private moments. We’re so glad our local partners helped make everything feel effortless, especially with the language barrier. We hope this was just the first of many adventures together!

A perfect partner to plan your travel!

One of the best travel agent experiences from beginning till the end and then after that. I really loved engaging with Mr. Hudson on my trip to Germany. Starting from the orientation where Bastiaan got to know my hopes for the travel to the planning and booking of flights, hotels and experiences were seamless and perfect and I could not have asked for more. Bastiaan and his team selected the right tour experiences (esp. given that this was my first visit to Germany) which made my trip worthwhile, as evidenced by millions of pics I took and the trusted connections I made with local tour guides. I will remember this trip for a long time and I have already shared my experience with my friends and family. It was also great that Mr. Hudson's team made sure some of the experiences are apt for my parents to tag along with me. The communication was perfect and I cannot ask for more. Bastiaan and his team are very efficient and we came to a consensus regarding our trip very easily. I really loved the Trip Mobile App because of which all my trip information was readily accessible when required (even when I was offline). The App also provided a curated list of things to do and restaurants and cafes to try. I highly recommend Mr. Hudson to other gay travelers on their sojourns to beautiful places.

At the heart of what we do is creating deeply personal, inclusive travel that reflects each guest’s unique vision. We can’t wait to help plan your next adventure — and we’re grateful you’ve shared your experience with fellow travelers.

The planning and execution of the plan…

The planning and execution of the plan was excellent. the safari experience exceeded my expectations. I think meet and greet services could've been better upon return to JNB. Information for flights was in various places so a bit difficult for me to figure out at times. These were minor inconveniences which were resolved when presented . I highly recommend Mr. Hudson as a guide to a great safari experience

Thank you so much, Art. We’re thrilled to hear the safari experience exceeded your expectations — it was a pleasure helping bring that journey to life. We also appreciate your honest notes on the meet-and-greet and flight info; your feedback helps us refine every detail for future travelers. We’re so glad the team was able to resolve those hiccups quickly, and grateful for your recommendation. We hope to plan another unforgettable adventure with you soon.

Mr Hudson will ensure you have an experience like no other!

We worked with Mr Hudson for a 2+ week trip to Greece. I'll start by saying I'm never planning a trip on my own again. I'm working with this wonderful company from here on. A wonderful travel experience begins with thoughtful planning. From the very first step Bastiaan got to know us both - what we liked, what we didn't, and drew out of us angles of the experience ahead we hadn't even thought of! That turned into a trip plan like no other and something I could have never created on my own. Lastly, the personal concierge service available while we were traveling was invaluable. Inevitably on a 2+ week adventure things will change. Our concierge was on top of it all! Proactively adjusting when needed and just checking in along the way.

There is no doubt we picked the absolutely best partner to work with! Don't make your trip a "DIY trip". Don't look around any further. Work with Mr Hudson and you will have the experience of a lifetime!

Busy CEO loves Mr Hudson!

I’ve come to rely on Mr Hudson as a go-to resource for tasteful, thoughtful, and truthful travel advice and support. It’s difficult to cut through so much travel content and reviews online, so Mr Hudson’s curated city guides and custom booking services help to make travel planning far easier and more efficient. And I feel more confident knowing that what I’m booking will not only be aligned to my taste and expectations, but will also be LGBTQ friendly. I’ve used the service on many continents with success, including trips with my parents.
