FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF COLLABORATING WITH A TRAVEL ADVISOR?

Travel advisors remain essential in the travel industry, providing valuable expertise and services to clients. Although online booking offers convenience for certain travel components, travel advisors offer firsthand knowledge, personalized experiences, extensive global connections, and on-the-ground support that technology cannot match.

HOW ARE YOUR PLANNING FEES CALCULATED?

By implementing a planning fee, I can allocate the required time and focus on creating a customized itinerary that aligns with your preferences. My goal is to save you time, offer peace of mind, and guarantee a smooth trip from beginning to end. Planning fees are calculated based on the trip's complexity, such as the number of segments, travelers, nights, and proximity to the departure date.

DO YOU OFFER BETTER RATES COMPARED TO BOOKING BY MYSELF?

I aim to provide you with a tailored and exceptional experience that perfectly aligns with your vision and preferences. While my partners and I may have access to negotiated rates on some occasions, the true value lies in my ability to save you time, alleviate stress, and prevent frustration before or during your travels. If you seek a personalized and smooth planning and travel experience, I would be thrilled to demonstrate how working with a travel advisor can make a difference!

I LOVE PLANNING! CAN WE STILL WORK TOGETHER?

Absolutely! The thrill begins with researching and creating excitement about your destination before setting off on your journey. As a travel agent, my goal is to enhance your travel experience by providing expert advice, personalized recommendations, and exclusive benefits that you might not find independently. I see this as a collaborative endeavour. Furthermore, I offer consultation calls at a rate of $100 per hour to share my knowledge with you!

WHY DO YOU PROVIDE BUNDLED PACKAGE RATES?

As a travel advisor, I specialize in crafting complete travel experiences instead of simply offering separate prices for each component. My method involves a holistic approach to trip organization, taking into account factors like accommodations, transportation, activities, and extra services to design a seamless itinerary personalized to your tastes. By combining these elements, I can use my industry connections to ensure the best overall value for your journey.

DO YOU WORK WITH VRBO AND/OR AIRBNB

I do not work with independently managed properties as I cannot ensure the quality of such properties. If you are seeking accommodations with shared spaces, such as a living room, I will work with my partners to identify verified villas, apartments, and hotels that align with your requirements.
