Through our preferred partner network of luxury hotels and relationships, we can ensure you are treated like a VIP – our clients regularly get upgrades, free breakfast and $100 USD credit.

How we work
To ensure we provide you with a truly personalised itinerary and recommendation, we follow a process which is designed to help us to understand exactly what your expectations are for your travel experience, as well as your preferences to ensure the trip is as personal and tailored as possible.
To design the perfect itinerary for you we will take you through the following steps:
- Initial discussion – typically a 30-45min conversation to get the details of where you want to go, when, what activities you want to do as well as your travel style, preferences, likes, dislikes and more so we can really understand you.
- Planning Fee , Liability Form & Profile– as we provide a professional service, we do charge an upfront planning fee which varies depending on the complexity of the travel and the number of people. The liability form is a standard legal document that just highlights the terms & conditions and risks associated with travel. The profile form is additional information which helps us design your travel better and is not shared outside of the company.
- First Proposal – This will be our first proposal with a suggested itinerary including accommodation, recommended activities, transport and other details necessary for the trip
- Final Proposal – Once you are happy with your itinerary, we will send you the final version electronically along with all confirmations and documents necessary for your travel
- Regular check-ins – we will touch base with you through the planning process and your travel to make sure everything is going smoothly and to see if there is anything else you need from us.
