How it works
Your adventure starts now. Your local expert will act as your right hand throughout your journey. We work exclusively with award-winning and certified local partners, true destination obsessives who know their home country inside-out.
Laying the groundwork
Make a trip request to your desired destination.
It’s simple and fast and will help your local expert pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for.
Once submitted, you will be matched with your local expert.
All our trips are built from the ground up with thoughtful personalization and attention to detail. Discuss options and alternatives until your trip is tweaked to perfection.
No two trips are the same
Set a meeting with your expert. Think of this conversation as a jumping off place to discuss ideas and inspiration.
Next, your expert will craft your itinerary. To receive a personalized trip proposal, a $100 crafting fee is required.
Sit back and relax. Your expert will craft the best trip around your exact travel dates, pricing, and availability.
Nothing is set in stone. Talk through options and alternatives until your trip is tweaked to perfection.
The planning is officially done. Now it's time to make that dream trip a reality. Next step, secure your trip by paying the deposit. The countdown to take-off is in sight.
Locking in your plans
Book by submitting a trip deposit. The deposit is typically 20-40%, and with that, your expert will lock in all your reservations.
Final payment isn't due until 1-2 months before departure.
Leave your expert to do all the heavy lifting to ensure your trip is perfect, from securing reservations, to preparing your roadbook, and calling in favors to friends.
The countdown is officially over! Your expert is there for you pre-trip, on-trip, and even post-trip with 24/7 support and concierge service. Whatever you need, don’t hesitate.
It’s go time
You’ll receive local tips and tricks from your expert pre-departure. This is the secret sauce that makes your trip extra special.
