FAQs
Why should I use a Travel Advisor?
- Using a travel advisor lets you take a backseat in the vacation planning process, which can get stressful and feel overwhelming at times. I will personally take care of all the required planning and booking so you can focus solely on enjoying your trip.
- I will use the knowledge and experience I have gained from researching and traveling to numerous different travel destinations to help you plan your dream vacation.
- If an emergency arises while on your trip, you can always reach out to me and I will help you out.
What do I need to know about pricing/fees?
For certain types of trips, such as cruises or pre-packaged tours, clients only need pay the price listed by the supplier (which is just the cruise line, tour provider, etc.), as there is no extra fee for my services. There are no fees for these services since I earn commission from booking them.
For personalized trips, a planning fee is needed to cover the time and effort that goes into the creation process. I love creating a personalized itinerary based around a client's specific interests and desires; finding the right travel destinations, flights, hotels, transfers, and sights for my clients to experience is a top priority for me. By charging a planning fee, it also lets me focus solely on forging the best trip for my clients without being influenced at all by potential commissions. The planning fee has a minimum deposit of $100, and the final fee is 5% of the total cost of the trip for all parties (for example, a $5000 trip would have a planning fee of $250). The planning fee is non-refundable.
For services like booking a flight or rental car outside of a personalized/packaged trips, there is a service fee associated with these as I do not typically earn commission on them. However, by charging this fee, just know I will be there every step of the way if you need my assistance with any problems that may arise (such as a canceled/delayed flight). The fee for these services range from $25-100.
What is so special about a personalized trip?
A personalized trip means that your trip itinerary to the place you wish to travel to is shaped around your personal interests and desires. The proposed itinerary would include potential travel destinations, flights options, transfer options, possible sights to see, restaurant recommendations, and more. A customized itinerary gives you the chance to create a unique trip tailored specifically for you, which results in a very fulfilling and exciting traveling experience!
Can I get a price quote before I commit to anything?
Of course, I would be happy to provide you with one free quote for a trip you are interested in!
Why would I not just use AI to plan my trip?
While AI might be able to identify popular tourist destinations and sights, it falls well short of understanding things about planning a trip. AI struggles with picking travel destinations that fit well together, choosing the right place to stay for your specific desires, how to actually get from place to place in an efficient manner, etc.
On the otherside of things, as your Travel Advisor, I will NEVER use AI to plan any trips or make any of my content.
