The house
Art of Travel is a German luxury travel agency founded in 1992, specializing in highly individual journeys for clients who value expertise, personal attention and exceptional access. Every journey begins with the traveler. Through a personal conversation, the team learns who is traveling, what matters to them, how they prefer to spend their time and what they have already experienced. This understanding is combined with destination knowledge, product expertise and an international network to create a genuinely bespoke itinerary.
Art of Travel’s specialists travel extensively throughout the regions they advise on. They know the leading hotels and lodges, as well as the right rooms, guides, routes and seasons, and often maintain direct relationships with the owners and people behind them. This first-hand expertise spans Southern and East Africa, the Indian Ocean, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, the Americas and selected parts of Europe. These relationships have been developed over decades of traveling rather than acquired through booking platforms.
The agency serves couples, families, multigenerational groups and experienced travelers seeking a different perspective, privileged access or confidence that every detail has been carefully considered. Art of Travel remains a personal travel house rather than a booking engine. Technology supports its work, while human judgment, curiosity and trusted relationships guide every decision. Luxury is defined by creating a journey so precisely shaped around the individual that it could not have been designed for anyone else.
