Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I inquire about my travel plans?

For a full-service, custom travel experience, I recommend reaching out 9-12 months prior to your desired travel dates. For shorter getaways, 2-3 months in advance is generally sufficient. However, I always encourage clients to contact me as soon as they have firm dates, as this allows us to secure the best rates and availability. We also utilize a price tracking system that automatically alerts us of potential price drops, and we're happy to rebook you if a lower rate becomes available!

While we may occasionally have access to exclusive promotions that we're delighted to offer, the true value of working together extends far beyond potential discounts. You benefit from seamless and stress-free travel planning, expert knowledge and recommendations, and dedicated in-destination support, ensuring a richer and more fulfilling travel experience.

Do you have access to better rates than I can find online?

Why are you able to offer hotel bookings as a complimentary service?

We earn a small commission on hotel and cruise bookings, which is paid directly by the hotel or cruise line. This commission covers the time and effort involved in managing your reservation and ensuring a smooth booking process for you.

Do you provide cost breakdowns?

In most cases, we can provide a detailed breakdown of your travel costs. However, some of our trusted in-destination partners offer bundled rates that don't itemize individual components. This practice helps protect their confidential, contracted rates with local vendors and ensures a cohesive and seamless approach to your overall travel arrangements.

When we manage your bookings, we make the reservations in your name and using your preferred payment method. Leading up to your arrival, we proactively communicate with hotels to introduce you, share the purpose of your visit, and relay any special requests you may have. This proactive approach often helps the hotel personalize your stay even further.

What does it mean that you manage the booking on my behalf?
