+ CUSTOM TRAVEL PLANNING
As with most professional travel agencies we do charge Planning and Research Fees. We work on a consultative basis to design trips customized to every client, to ensure you make the most of your most precious asset: TIME.
The below is an outline of our fees for most trips, though they may be customized based on trip complexity, duration, and number of travelers.
- $350 for a trip that is 1-3 nights
- $500 for a trip that is 4-10 nights
- $750 for a trip that is 11-14 nights
Please note:
- Fees are based on 1-6 travelers in the same household. An additional $50/person/week thereafter.
- Proposal is for one overall trip proposal.
- Additional proposals for different destinations will be charged an additional planning fee of $200 per proposal.
- Villa bookings will be charged an additional fee of $300 to cover the additional time and resources required to navigate the challenges of vetting a luxury villa.
**Last minute booking fee of 50% for trip requests within 30 days of travel or 90 days of holiday travel.
**
*Our trip planning fee covers initial consultation and discussion of your trip dreams and expectations, time spent researching, developing, and revising a proposal to create the perfect customized itinerary, booking and managing all components, and support while traveling.
*
Please note: because it covers the initial consultation, research, and time spent on the proposal, this fee is non-refundable and will be charged regardless of whether a client books a trip with us. When, however, a client books a trip with us, this fee also covers management, booking, and travel support during the trip.
