How We Work

Planning Fees

Hotel-only inquiries are complimentary to book.

For trips longer than five days, we begin with a non-refundable retainer covering 10-13 planning hours. Any time spent after that are billed prior to departure. Any unused balance rolls forward to your next trip. Very rarely do we find that additional time is needed in the planning process.

The retainer covers: a 60-minute consultation, a trip proposal, up to three itinerary revisions, flight research, transportation, a custom app, and dining and spa reservations.

Additional flat fees apply to air ticketing:

  • Domestic air ticketing: $25/adult

  • International air ticketing: $50/adult

  • Air ticket changes: $50/person
