Outsource the research to us! Our trip planning fee is intended for one destination, if you need to compare multiple destinations or your trip requires additional research to find the perfect destination for you and yours, an additional fee will apply. We take into account all factors that will ensure an extraordinary trip like…
The best time of year to visit
The type of travel experience you would have based on the kind of traveler you are
Consider the pace of travel you prefer and map out points of interest around you, to visit in one region
The travel routes available to you (no need planning for a destination that would require multiple airline stops and additional hours driving when you only have 7 days to vacation)
Starting at $149 per location
Additional Planning Hours ……………………… $100+/hr
If after the initial rounds of trip planning, there are destinations added, travelers added, excessive revisions to the itinerary, concierge services beyond reasonable expectations or extensive trip changes, this could result in additional planning costs in order to cover the hours required to revise or re-plan the trip. Starting at $100 per hour.
Cancellation ………………………….. $149
The cancellation fee applies in the event you request to cancel your trip and not postpone. A re-booking fee will apply for trips that are postponed. $149 per trip cancellation fee.
Re-booking ………………………………… $99

Non-Commisionable Fee …………………. 10%
In the instance that the lodging component we propose as best suited for your trip does not work with travel advisors by way of a referral payment (i.e. as experienced with airbnbs, inns, bed & breakfasts) there will be an additional concierge & management fee of 10% of the net lodging rate.
