We currently offer two levels of services:

1. Itinerary Review - You have your trip planned, but would like us to take a second look to identify possible inefficiencies or issues.

2. Custom Trip Plan - We research destinations, activities, accommodations, and transportation to fit your trip profile, then provide a proposal outline options. Once you’ve selected your preferred options, a finalized itinerary containing all the necessary details of your trip is provided.

   • We’re best able to help people who have a travel style and tastes similar to ours, so please take a look at Our Trips pages and Instagram to see what we’re all about.

You may be wondering how our consulting services differ from what a Travel Agent does. Travel Agents typically work off of commissions and many operate under a Host Agency; they receive a payout percentage from the companies they book you with, which is split between them and their Host. While there is nothing wrong with this type of set up, there are a few things about the structure that we just don’t love:

• Unless working under a Host Agency, getting access to booking software can be prohibitively expensive

• Using a booking software can limit your options (i.e. Hotels versus AirBnbs)

• If working with a Host, your clients aren’t your clients and your company relationships aren’t your relationships, they are the Host Agency’s

• We can’t help but wonder if higher commissions can incentivize Agents to max your budget and be bias on which companies they recommend versus solely looking at what they believe you’d enjoy the most.

  • *We are not saying this is always the case and of course Agents want you to enjoy the trip so you book with them again, we’re just saying, this potential conflict doesn’t exist under our current structure.

• Services and fees can vary by Agent; some only offer booking/limited advice, others may charge additional fees for planning.

  • In our opinion, it’s the planning that takes the most time and is the better value add, so that’s what we offer.

Of course, there are pros and cons to both approaches. Booking Agents may have access to better deals and packages, but on the other hand, those option may not provide a very local, unique, or authentic experience.

If your primary motive is getting help with bookings and you’re okay with a more one-size fits all approach, a booking service is likely more what you’re looking for.

If your aim is to save yourself some planning hours and are hoping for a more customized itinerary, then we’d be thrilled to work with you and encourage you to request a quote to begin a conversation!
