Why do I need a travel Curator/Agent?
Planning a trip can be time consuming and stressful. Doing it on your own means you have to remember all of the fine details, which can become tricky with a complicated itinerary. Having someone in your corner who has an expertise in travel can be a tremendous help and relief. Plus their relationships with vendors means they can find you the best available deals and even find some great add-ons for free when available!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need travel insurance?
Yes! We highly recommend travel protection. Think of travel as an investment in yourself and your loved ones. Sometimes life happens and travel insurance can help insure you don’t lose that investment. Every quote we give will include travel insurance as an option for your trip.
Does it cost more to use a Travel Curator/Agent?
The short answer is no, not at all! Travel professionals are paid a commission from the suppliers we use to book your trip and that commission is based on published pricing and fares. In laymen’s terms, that means the price for your trip is the same whether you book it yourself or use the services of a travel expert. In fact, because of our relationships to our vendors, travel professionals are often able to find better pricing or complimentary upgrades allowing your budget to stretch further.
While there may a nominal professional fee for some services (ex. large group travel of 10+), when you consider the time saved on researching and planning, the quality of personalized service, and the security of knowing you have someone advocating for you should the unexpected occur, experienced travelers will say this is money well spent.
I’m interested in planning a trip, but I don’t know my details yet. I want to explore my options. Can I still contact you?
Absolutely! We love to daydream about trips too! Contact us and we can send you out some brochures to help get you started on your vision!
When should I contact you to plan my trip?
Once you have a budget and dates in mind it’s time to contact us so we can get to work curating your unique itinerary. You’ll need to be sure of your travel dates (or range), the number of people in your travel party (including ages of any children), your anticipated budget, and what sort of travel experience you’re looking for.
No matter how far out the travel dates, each of our travel itineraries are uniquely curated to fit your specifications. This means they require a significant amount of time and dedication so you are getting a quality trip. So we ask only that you be respectful of our time and ask us to begin planning only when you intend to book.
