Every trip is unique, so whether we charge a fee really depends on how we’re designing your travel. We earn a commission from the travel we book, so we only charge a fee if we’re not able to generate enough revenue from your bookings to compensate us fairly. As a rule of thumb, trip budgets of less than $300/day will likely require a planning fee. Fees start at $25 per planned day, and increase depending on the trip’s complexity. We’ll always be up front when a planning fee will be involved.

The more the merrier! Whether it’s a large family vacation, team trip, corporate retreat, or wedding, we’d be happy to help you navigate the complexity of group bookings.

Certainly! Most VRBO properties are commissionable and we have access to even more unique and curated offerings through our preferred partners. The only caveat is that Airbnbs are not commissionable, so booking those will involve a planning fee.

Flight bookings are handled on a case-by-case basis, but in general, we’re happy to book flights in business class and higher. Do note that we do offer specialized trips where regional flights can be included in a package (like safaris, expeditions, and cruises).

We love cruises as they’re a great way to experience multiple destinations — especially ones that are more difficult to reach. But even more conventional cruise itineraries can become extraordinary trips when we add off-the-beaten-path excursions and unique pre- or post-cruise adventures.

From exotic ports, to iconic cities, to thrilling expeditions, we believe wholeheartedly that there’s a cruise for every type of traveler. Hate crowds? Try an intimate boutique cruise. Love the great outdoors? Try an adventurous expedition cruise. Worried about seasickness? Try a tranquil river cruise.

We can book cars at preferred rates for a wide range of budgets, from conventional car rentals to chauffered transport options.

We definitely encourage booking train travel when possible (it’s better for the planet). Certain train journeys can offer some of the world’s most spectacular views, luxurious service, and unforgettable travel experiences. Trains aren’t just a way to connect your trip, they can be an experience in and of itself.

We strongly encourage the purchase of insurance for every trip, since travel involves so many variables. Your credit card’s insurance benefit may cover certain aspects of your trip, but we can help you fill any gaps in coverage.

Loyalty points are a great way to access otherwise unaffordable travel experiences. Our general advice is to book hotels with us and flights with points. We’re happy to provide high level guidance on how to optimize your redemption, but we may refer you to more in-depth resources if you need more of a deep dive into the mechanics of loyalty programs.
