Founders Trip
Most people think a European vacation is something you “book.”
At Lap of Luxury Travel, we believe it’s something you design, protect, and elevate.
The Founder’s Grand European Escape was created for travelers who refuse ordinary — who value privacy, precision, and true first-class treatment from the moment their journey begins.
This experience is personally curated to include true international First Class air, VIP airport handling, hand-selected 5-star hotels, private expert-led touring, chauffeured luxury transfers, and elite concierge oversight at every stage.
There are no crowds.
There is no chaos.
There are no guess-and-go itineraries.
Every detail is timed, vetted, and protected — because luxury isn’t about spending more, it’s about being treated better.
This is Europe the way it was meant to be experienced.
Because ordinary isn’t an option.
Cheers,
