Our story
How Travwizards began
Travwizards was born from a simple insight: the best travel advice comes from people who truly know a destination. Not from an algorithm, not from a travel agent with a brochure — but from someone who has lived there, travelled there, and knows what other guides won't tell you.
Ger Swinkels founded Travwizards in 2016 with one goal: connecting travellers with the specialist who knows their destination the way they know their own neighbourhood. Since then, 197 experts have joined — all self-employed specialists who share their knowledge on a platform that presents them as they are: expert, personal and unique.
Today Travwizards is more than a platform. It is a community of travellers and experts who believe that the most memorable journeys begin with an honest conversation. No commissions, no pressure, no packages — just the right introduction.

What Travwizards is built on
Adventurous
We believe the most beautiful journeys aren't in a catalogue. Our experts know the places you only find if you know where to look.
Personal
Every traveller is different. Every expert too. Our strength is in the match — an introduction that fits, between two people who belong together.
Expert
197 experts are manually selected and verified. Knowledge, reliability and genuine experience — that is the standard, not the exception.
We don't sell trips. We make the introduction.
— Ger Swinkels, founder of Travwizards
Looking ahead
The future of travel is human
While major tour operators sell mass travel and algorithms decide what you want to see, the demand for something different is growing: journeys that truly fit who you are.
Travwizards positions itself as the human alternative — for travellers who know that the best advice always comes from a person. We are ready.
