From TIGER 21 Members Who Have Traveled With Us
Mark's passion and global destination knowledge are impressive — and he's incredibly generous about sharing both in a way that's genuinely contagious.
He helped facilitate a beyond-spectacular trip to Milan, Italy, for our group of eight hockey nuts attending the 2026 Winter Olympics. Mark tapped into his exceptional network, and The Legacy Untold, together with its local partners on the ground, delivered a level of access, taste, service, and attention to detail that was truly extraordinary.
Our group moved seamlessly between terrific accommodations, phenomenal restaurants, and the ultimate hockey experience.
I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention the connections The Legacy Untold's local partner was able to tap when we needed to shift restaurant reservations on the fly as hockey tournament results changed during our stay. Somehow, they made it all happen. Wow.

My wife and I engaged The Legacy Untold earlier this year to plan a long-awaited trip to Japan. From the first meeting, it was evident that this was going to be a special experience based upon the outstanding and very individualized customer service, their clear expertise on everything Japan had to offer (including truly unique experiences), and their patience and flexibility to work with us to secure the perfect itinerary. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience and excited for our upcoming trip.
The Legacy Untold has earned the role of our trusted travel planning partner and we would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to plan very unique travel experiences!
