Travel advisors are paid commission by our travel supplier partners however some components of a trip are not commissionable. We do charge a small planning fee for our services after the initial consultation before we start working on your trip plans. Our trip planning fees start at $150 for customized travel itineraries. The planning fee covers the time, expertise, and personalized service we provide as a travel advisor and is based on the complexity of your trip. By charging a fee, it allows us to prioritize your proposal and dedicate the necessary time and attention to detail for each client. As a client investing in our services, you're gaining a dedicated travel professional who will go above and beyond to create a memorable trip for you. Here is an example of just some of what is included in the planning fee: Inquiry call, up to 1 hour An initial proposal concept, with up to two revisions Logistical assistance and insight Custom itinerary creation with in-depth destination knowledge A comprehensive well organized itinerary in a convenient app with travel tips and guidance Pre-travel itinerary review call, up to 1 hour Emergency in-travel assistance Every trip is unique: they vary in length, number of travelers, and complexity. Some travelers prefer to be more spontaneous; others want to have every detail planned in advance. Any additional fees are based on the complexity of the trip and would be discussed up front during your initial free consultation and are outlined in our fee agreement. For Disney & Cruise Travel Planning there is no initial fee but during your call we will discuss any applicable fees if you would like to use our Disney concierge services.

Your vacation is an investment and we highly recommend you purchase travel insurance to protect that investment and provide quotes with all our itineraries, but that decision is ultimately up to you. There are so many unexpected things that can come up during travel. We are there to help you put the best plan possible in place and navigate the unexpected that sometimes you just can't plan for. Travel insurance does add that extra layer of protection and peace of mind in case you do come across some bumps in the road. We do ask our clients to sign a waiver if you choose not to purchase travel protection.

We offer several ways to make it easy for you and your schedule. The best way to start planning your trip is to fill out the new trip questionnaire.
