Personal travel design

Journeys that feel like yours, from the first email to the last sunset

I'm Matthew - I plan slow, story-rich trips along the coastlines, cities and hidden corners I've explored myself. No templates, no crowds. Just the places worth flying for.

Why Mateu Voyages

Travel planning, the way a good friend would do it

Mateu Voyages started with a simple idea: the best trips aren't booked from a catalogue - they're pieced together by someone who has actually been there, missed the bus, found the right table by the harbour, and knows which sunset spot is worth the climb.

Every itinerary is built one-on-one, shaped around your pace, your budget and the kind of traveller you are - whether that's slow mornings and long lunches, or sunrise hikes and ferry-hopping between islands.

More about me

How it works

Everything handled, nothing generic

Three simple steps between "I'd love to go there" and stepping off the plane, fully ready.

🧭

Tailored itineraries

A day-by-day plan built around your interests - food, hiking, art, beaches, or all of it - with real timings, not guesswork.

🤝

Local insight

Recommendations from places I've actually visited: the quiet viewpoint, the family-run restaurant, the boat that leaves before the crowds.

🧳

Stress-free booking

Flights, stays and experiences coordinated and confirmed, with a simple digital guide you can open from your phone on the go.
