FAQ

How is a custom travel planner different from a travel agent?

While both provide assistance in planning your trip, there are some key differences. A custom travel planner, like myself, focuses on creating personalized itineraries tailored specifically to your preferences, interests, and budget. I provide recommendations and suggestions based on extensive research and firsthand experience, ensuring your trip is unique and authentic. Additionally, I don’t handle bookings directly, giving you the flexibility to make your own reservations. On the other hand, a travel agent typically offers pre-packaged tours and deals from specific vendors and may focus more on booking accommodations and transportation rather than crafting a custom itinerary.

How far in advance should I contact you to plan my trip?

My turnaround time is approximately 3-7 days. However, it’s best to contact me as far ahead as possible, especially during high season. I encourage you to fill out the survey once you have secured your flights so I can give you the best suggestions for your dates once they are locked in. At least 6 weeks before your trip will allow ample time for research and planning.

How much does your travel planning service cost?

The cost varies depending on the complexity and duration of the trip. Please refer to the “Tailored Travel Packages” section for pricing details. If you are looking for additional cities or travel days, feel free to email me for a quote.

How do I pay?

After submitting the survey, I will send a travel agreement along with an invoice via PayPal or Venmo. You will need to send the full amount before I begin the planning process.

Do you offer refunds?

While I don’t offer refunds as payments are final, I provide a guarantee: if I need to discontinue planning your trip for any reason, you will receive a refund. I’m confident you’ll be satisfied with my services, but if you’re truly unhappy, please reach out via email to discuss further.

Can I make changes to my itinerary after you send it?

Yes, absolutely! You’ll have full control over your itinerary once I send you your itinerary link. If you aren’t fond of a particular suggestion or the weather affects your plans, you can swap out any of the plans with something else. I will provide plenty of additional recommendations.

Do you handle bookings for flights, accommodations, etc.?

No, I don’t handle bookings directly. I make it easy for you by providing you with personalized recommendations and direct booking links so you can make the bookings yourself.

What if I need help during my trip?

While I can’t guarantee immediate assistance during your trip for last-minute changes, you can always email me if you encounter any issues, and I’ll strive to respond within 24 hours. Your itinerary will include additional options for activities, allowing you to adjust your plans as needed due to unexpected closures, weather conditions, or personal preferences.

Are there any destinations you don't plan trips for?

I’m open to planning trips to almost any destination. However, if there’s a location I’m not familiar with, I’ll do extensive research to ensure you have an amazing trip.

What happens after you send the itinerary?

You will receive one initial itinerary. After that, you have the flexibility to swap out any activities with others that I provide. If you require a complete revision, feel free to reach out. I provide a maximum of two revisions before incurring an additional fee.

Do you provide travel insurance?

I don’t provide travel insurance directly, but I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect yourself against unexpected events during your trip.

What if I have specific dietary restrictions or mobility needs?

I take your dietary restrictions and mobility needs into account when planning your trip. Just let me know your requirements in the survey, and I’ll ensure they’re accommodated in your itinerary.

Can I provide input on my trip?

Absolutely, and it’s expected! I wait for feedback from the questionnaire on your interests, budget, and travel style before creating your custom travel itinerary. This ensures that your trip is curated specifically for you, giving you a significant role in the planning process.

What if I only need help planning part of my trip?

That’s perfectly fine! I’ll tailor my services based on the specific duration you need assistance with. You’ll only be charged for the number of days needed, based on my package prices.
