Travel should be more than a trip. It should be an experience you'll talk about for years.

I'm Matthew Appleton, founder of Appleton Travel. I created this agency to help travelers experience destinations in a more personal, authentic, and meaningful way. Whether you're traveling to a bucket-list cycling destination in France, running a major marathon, planning a honeymoon, organizing a group trip, or simply looking for an unforgettable vacation, I help take the stress out of planning and turn your ideas into a seamless experience.

As an avid traveler and passionate cyclist, I've spent years exploring Europe and personally experiencing many of the destinations, routes, and events that inspire my clients. From riding legendary Tour de France climbs like Alpe d'Huez and Mont Ventoux to navigating the logistics of international travel, I bring firsthand knowledge that goes beyond what you'll find in a guidebook.

Through partnerships with Fora Travel and Virtuoso, my clients gain access to exclusive hotel benefits, VIP amenities, preferred rates, and trusted local partners around the world. But luxury isn't just about upgrades. It's about having someone in your corner who understands your travel goals and designs an experience around them.

Appleton Travel specializes in:

• Cycling trips and active travel experiences

• Marathon, triathlon, HYROX, and sports-event travel

• Group travel and event logistics

• European travel, especially France

• Luxury and premium leisure travel

• Honeymoons and milestone celebrations

• Custom itineraries tailored to your interests

From hotel sourcing and airfare coordination to transportation, tours, and detailed itineraries, I handle the planning so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

Because the best trips aren't just booked. They're thoughtfully designed.

Let's build your next adventure.
