Paul Bachant

New York, New York Travel Agent

Luxury Travel Agent

The most memorable trips are those that reveal the authentic heart of a place. I want to help my clients see the world in a way that feels fresh and relevant to them. It goes beyond booking exceptional hotels and mapping out seamless transitions. That’s a given. But making the right connections—between people and places, between travelers and guides—and opening up new possibilities, that’s when travel becomes truly transformative.

Authentic Travel Experiences

After traveling the world extensively, living abroad for long stretches and fully immersing myself in foreign cultures, I founded Insider Voyages to share my passion and expertise with those on a journey of discovery.

Insider Voyages

"If you are taking any trip using guides/drivers or local experts, any trip that VIP access would make better, any trip to a destination where you do not already know all the best places to eat and best things to see ...Read more from my Insider Voyages bio.

Italy

Italy has long been held up as a paragon of voluptuous beauty, and with good reason. The architecture of its splendid cities alone leaves visitors reeling.

Between Venice, Florence and Rome, the cultural significance is vast. The country houses the greatest number ...Read more from my Italy bio.

Japan

Until you have spent time in Japan, it is nearly impossible to fathom the complexity and contradiction of this fascinating and multifaceted country. Steeped in traditions dating back thousands of years, the culture is also visionary and ultra-modern. From serene geishas ...Read more from my Japan bio.

Safari

To go on safari is to venture into the wild, with all the beauty and complexity that implies. The journey opens up a passion to return time and again—for the great migrations of East Africa, gorilla trekking in Rwanda and canoeing ...Read more from my Safari bio.

Client Testimonials

Greece Vacation

"Paul assisted me and five close friends in planning a week-long trip to Mykonos, Greece. Although our points of origin were three different countries, Paul provided all the details for a seamless travel experience, including necessary transportation transfer requirements and alternative scheduling options, catered to each person’s port of arrival. He ensured that our wish for a private villa with very specific amenities was fulfilled down to the smallest detail and even added in the bonus of beautiful sunset views across a secluded bay. He also provided his own recommendations for sites to visit in the few extra days we planned to spend in Athens prior to returning home. Overall, Paul’s attention to detail and expert planning averted the potential logistical nightmares and made sure our group had one of the most enjoyable vacations together. Thanks Paul!"

Amazing Jackson Hole Adventure

"I have been back from my summer adventure for two weeks and in that time, I have told at least 20 people about the amazing experience I had because of Insider Voyages. From the beginning stages of planning to the day we arrived home, my son and I were treated with such care and respect. Paul listened to everything I preferred and valued for our summer vacation. His attention to detail, creative ideas, and ability to execute an entire week's itinerary was spectacular. Traveling with an 8 year boy posed some extra considerations that Paul completely understood and accounted for. I know for certain that our trip to Wyoming would not have been nearly as amazing without the effort and planning by Paul. Hiking in the Teton Mountains, touring at Yellowstone National Park, a covered wagon trail ride and dinner, backstage access to a real Rodeo and several well placed "free hours" in the afternoon to rest and recharge, made this travel experience one of the best we have ever had."

Amazing Thailand

"My partner and I recently used Insider Voyages to plan our trip to Thailand. Our trip could not have been more enjoyable. Insider Voyages took care of everything, which saved us so much time and stress. Paul presented many options for hotels based on our feedback so we were able to select the perfect hotel in each city. We also chose excursions that interested us, based on the feedback we gave to Paul. The result was a vacation uniquely tailored to us. The whole process was easy and stress free. I will definitely use Insider Voyagers for my next trip."

Italy Vacation as an Insider

"When we began planning our first trip to Italy, it was overwhelming. There was so many choices as to what parts of the country to see, what types of hotels to stay in, what mode of transportation to use, etc. Paul spent a great deal of time with us to see just what type of vacation we wanted and gave us options that fit our budget. He set us up with perfect hotels, incredible tour guides and mapped out areas that he recommended we navigate on our own. He also recommended great restaurants. Even given all of that, perhaps the best part of working with Paul was once our trip began. When we had a travel issue (nothing to do with him), we called him and he immediately rearranged things, making our issue a non-issue. He checked in with us via e-mail throughout our trip and somehow, despite the time difference, seemed to always be available to us. It was like having an insider with us on vacation. We will most definitely be using his services on our next trip!"

African Safari

"I just want to let you know that working with you and Insider Voyages to plan our African safari has been a great experience for both me and my husband. You have considered every detail and saved us time, money and worry. Airline reservations, hotel reservations, safari details, and itineraries have magically appeared, and the cost is far less than we expected. You have found airfares and lodging prices that we would not have known about. Working with traditional travel agents or planning a trip myself has never been fun, but Insider Voyages is now my go-to answer to traveling."

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
