Suppose that you have
decided that an itinerary customized just for you is the way to
go. Perhaps you will be celebrating a special birthday or
anniversary, or you just want to be independent. We will be
happy to make all the arrangments required for that special trip
- and to make it even better than you had hoped.
The process goes something
like this: we ask all kinds of questions so that we understand your
goals and expectations. We can then customize your trip itinerary
for you. We will want to quiz you about your specifics interests,
the pace at which you like to travel, what kinds of hotels you like
(or wish to afford) and anything else that will go into making the
trip uniquely yours.
Once you have agreed
that it is time to begin planning YOUR trip based on YOUR instructions
to us, we ask for the first installment of our non-refundable
professional planning fee. See Terms and Conditions for
more detail.
We then make any and
all arrangements - hotel, car (through our wholesaler), museum
reservations (if you want to visit any of the major ones at all,
it's important), guides where they might be appropriate, and restaurant,
theatre, and opera bookings as needed. We of course work
together throughout the process so that the trip is truly all
YOURS enhanced by Our expertise. A few weeks prior to departure
we email you an "electronic" package with all supporting
documents - hotel and car confirmations, train tickets, museum
bookings where necessary, along with a detailed chronological
itinerary outlining all arrangements plus suggestions of things
to see and do, and our favorite restaurant suggestions. At this
time you will be charged the second installment of the non-refundable
booking fee.
If you decide to cancel
the trip any time after the file is opened, an "unbooking" fee
of $250 immediately becomes due and payable.
