Do you charge a planning fee?

In most cases, we do not charge a planning fee. We work on commission paid by the travel partners we book with, which means our services typically come at no additional cost to you—while still taking all the research, planning, and coordination off your plate. If a trip requires an unusually complex itinerary or specialized arrangements, we’ll discuss any potential fees upfront before moving forward.

Why should I book with a travel advisor instead of doing it myself?

Working with a travel advisor saves you time, reduces stress, and often leads to better value. We handle the research, compare options, uncover the best-fit experiences, and guide you through every detail. You also gain access to professional insights, personalized recommendations, and support before and during your trip—so you never have to navigate issues on your own.
