What to Expect When You Book With Us
1. Start with the Trip Request Form
Your journey begins with our Trip Request Form. This gives us the details we need to match you with the right travel designer and ensure your experience aligns with your travel style, preferences, and goals.
Once submitted, a member of our team will reach out to schedule a quick consultation call within 48 hours.
2. Complimentary Consultation Call
During our 20–30 minute call, we’ll learn more about your ideal destination(s), must-haves, budget, timeline, and the purpose behind your trip. We’ll also walk you through our process, pricing, and planning options.
First-time clients pay a $200 planning fee, which is applied to your final trip cost if you book with us.
3. Custom Itinerary Design
After your planning fee is received, we’ll begin crafting a personalized itinerary—from curated hotel stays and immersive experiences to behind-the-scenes excursions and trusted transportation. All trips are built with local impact and your values in mind. You’ll have a chance to review and request revisions before confirming.
4. Booking & Deposit
Once your itinerary is approved, we’ll confirm your bookings and request a 50% deposit (or full payment if traveling within 90 days). We handle all vendor coordination, travel requirements, and documents.
Need a payment plan? We’ve got you covered.
5. Pre-Trip Support & Concierge
Want to book that perfect dinner, massage, or private tour? Add-on our White Glove Concierge Service for help with special reservations, experiences, and local logistics. You’ll also receive custom travel docs and prep resources before you go.
6. While You Travel
We’re on standby during your trip for anything you need—from schedule changes to surprise requests. We’re your travel advocate, every step of the way and are available by email and phone.
Tip: We reccommend to download WhatApp prior to international trips.
