Trip Planning Services

You know that trip you’ve been wanting to go on, but you don’t know where to start planning?

Overwhelmed by the tons of choices when it comes of picking hotels, activities, excursions and places to visit?

Afraid that you’ll miss out on a special experience on that trip?

Going on vacation with people who may have different interests from you and wondering how to find the right balance in your itinerary?

We’ve experienced those scenarios and more!

Itinerary planning can be daunting. But we’re travel nerds and we putting together the details that make a trip unforgettable (in a good way!).  Find out how we could help you take the stress away from having to do all the research and guess work in planning your trip.

You tell us where and when you want to go, and we’ll do the research and leg work of putting your dream trip together.

What exactly can we do for you?

We will be your eyes and ears all over the internet and other travel sources to help you book the following:

  • Flights
  • Accommodations
  • Local guides
  • Excursions and Unique Experiences
  • Local transfers – trains, taxis, buses, ferries

What’s the process for creating your customized travel itinerary?

  1. After receiving your payment, we will schedule a 45-minute initial consultation (via phone, Viber Skype). During this call, we will ask you the preliminary trip details: the destination(s) you have in mind, your time frame, your budget, your interests and the travel pace you prefer.
  2. Within 5 days after this call, we will create an initial travel schedule, per our discussion, which will be broken down day by day detailing suggested tours and activities that we believe fits your preferences. This will also include suggested flights, transfer services and accommodations.
  3. We will correspond via email by Day 5 at the latest with your Custom Dream Trip Itinerary.   We offer up to 3 revisions in your itinerary.
  4.  Your Custom Dream Trip Itinerary will also come with tips and advice on safety and health while traveling, as well as a brief backgrounder on your specific destination. This will include relevant current events (any holidays, demonstrations or elections going on while you’re there?), local etiquette, and other related information that will help make your trip memorable, meaningful and enjoyable.

How long will it take to create my custom trip itinerary?

We will submit your trip itinerary no more than 5 days from the initial consultation. From then on, we can provide up to 3 rounds of revisions per your instructions, each one completed within 3 days or less. We recommend you contact us as early as possible to get the best deals on flights and hotels.

Can you book the flights and hotels for me?

We will collaborate with your on creating a Custom Dream Trip Itinerary based on information you’ve provided.   However, at this time our service is focused on providing the travel details.

Booking flights, accommodations, excursions and other travel arrangements will be up to you.

We will provide you with links to use for each leg of your trip to make the process a lot easier.

Can I get a refund if I don’t go on my trip?

While we definitely hope you will go and enjoy your trip, we are not responsible if you decide to cancel or defer the trip for any reason or decide to alter the set plan after we submit your final trip itinerary.   This includes unforeseen circumstances such as natural events (hurricanes, floods) and civil unrest.

Here are some of our past itineraries to give you a sampling.

Allow for flexibility as things happen all the time that changes your plan, sometimes for the better.  Itineraries are meant to give some structure and order, so that you can make sure you cover the most important points of the trip.  However, part of experiential travel is getting  little lost, staying a little longer or cutting out some part.  As long as you make it to your train, bus or flight schedule in good time, that is.
