FAQ’s

How does a travel consultation work?

You book a call with us and have our undivided 1-on-1 attention for anything you need. Got a bunch of questions? We’ll answer them. Want us to walk step-by-step through your itinerary? We’ll help you plan it based on exactly what you want from your trip. We want you to get the most bang for your buck, so we tailor the call to exactly what you want. After the call, we follow up with a summary and personalized recommendations so you have everything we discussed on paper.

Which destinations do you cover?

We can help with planning your trip to: the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Florence, general Italy trips, Paris, London, York (UK), Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, general Japan trips, Seoul, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Siem Reap (Angkor Wat), Acadia, Black Hills, Grand Canyon, New England (in fall), New York City, San Francisco, Sedona, southern Utah (national parks), Washington State (hikes and national parks), Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion. If the place you want help with isn’t listed, search our site to see if we have any travel guides published, if so, we’ve been there and we can help you.

Do you book hotels, tours or flights for me?

No, we’re not travel agents, so we don’t offer services to book flights, hotels, day trips or tours on your behalf. We use the knowledge and experiences we gained in the places you want to visit and help you plan the best possible trip. You still have complete control over how you book everything, and you have peace of mind knowing that your plans are in great shape.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens! If you need to reschedule, just let us know at least 48 hours before our call and we’ll find a new time that works. Reschedule requests within 48 hours of the call will forfeit the fee, as we’ve reserved that time specifically for you.

Can I ask follow up questions after the call?

After the call we send you a summary of what we discussed, along with our tips, advice and recommendations based on your travel style and preferences. We’re happy to answer a few quick and easy questions that might come up, and you can always book another shorter call closer to your trip if necessary.

What makes us different?

Full package tours with everything booked for you are convenient but very expensive, limited to pre-defined itineraries and shared with other travelers. Using a traditional travel agent to book your trip makes life easy but again it’s very expensive and you leave your trip in their hands. With us, you pay a fraction of the price to have travel experts (who have actually been to the place you’re visiting) help you perfect a personalized itinerary based on your preferences and budget. You keep full control over booking hotels, tours and experiences based on our recommendations – and you save a small fortune.

Don’t forget to take a look through our collection of affordable premium destination guidebooks and itineraries to see if we’ve published one for the place you want to visit.

Our guidebooks and itineraries are comprehensive pdf’s that you download to your computer and phone, so you can use them to plan but also throughout your trip – with helpful bonus extras like maps and links to everything you’ll need.
