Does it cost me more to work with a travel agent?  

Absolutely not! In fact, working with a travel agent can potentially save you money. As your dedicated agent, we not only save you valuable time but can also secure discounts that may not be available through direct bookings. While there are instances where we might not beat or match a specific price, the true value lies in the exceptional service we provide. It's not just about the cost; it's about the added benefits, personalized assistance, and expertise that come with having a travel professional by your side. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our top priorities.

How do travel agents get paid?

Travel agents typically get paid through commissions from their suppliers. In simpler terms, our compensation is earned once you embark on your journey. It's important to note that if you choose not to book through us, I don't receive any payment. In most cases, we do not impose service fees unless we're dealing with a complex, multi-destination itinerary that demands additional time and intricate planning.

Can a travel agent save me money?

Absolutely! Leveraging our experience and strong partnerships with cruise lines, hotels, and tour companies, we can indeed find opportunities to save you money. However, beyond just cost savings, our primary goal is to guarantee your satisfaction with both your vacation and the services we provide. Your happiness and the overall success of your trip are our top priorities, and we strive to make every aspect of your travel experience enjoyable and memorable.

What is the booking process like?

The booking process kicks off with our initial consultation where we delve into your travel dates, preferred duration, budget, and personal preferences. Following our conversation, we embark on the task of curating the best vacation tailored to your wants and desires. Once you are presented with the quote, we engage in further discussion, and upon your approval, we'll request the required deposit.

From the deposit stage until your final payment, we are here to address any questions you may have. Two weeks before your final payment is due, you will receive a friendly reminder via email. After your final payment, as your trip approaches, you’ll receive a reminder about your travel documents, which we can review together. And then, it's time for Bon Voyage!

Throughout your journey, we encourage clients to keep us updated and feel free to reach out with any questions. Upon your return, we'll check in to hear about your experiences and discuss your next adventure. Our commitment is to make the entire process smooth and enjoyable, from the initial consultation to the post-trip reflections.

Do travel agents handle emergencies while you are on your trip?

Absolutely! Consider us your advocate and reliable assistant throughout your vacation. Life is unpredictable, and we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for every trip. In case you find yourself in a bind, rest assured that there are emergency contact numbers available with all vendors. We always want to stay in the loop about what's happening so that I can provide the necessary assistance and support. Your peace of mind during your vacation is of utmost importance to us.

Can travel agents customize trips?

If you can dream it, count on us to bring it to life! We thrive on crafting experiences that go beyond the ordinary. We absolutely love working on trips that are "outside of the box." Our mission is to turn what may seem impossible into a reality. Challenge accepted – let's make your unique and extraordinary travel dreams come true!

Are there any additional fees?

There are no additional fees unless you are asking for a multi-destination customized itinerary that takes a lot of extra planning.

What if I need to make changes to my trip?

Always reach out to your travel advisor first for any inquiries or changes. If you attempt to contact the vendor directly, they will likely redirect you to your travel agent. It's worth noting that certain vendors may impose change fees if adjustments or cancellations are made after a specific period. To safeguard against unforeseen circumstances, it's highly advisable to have travel insurance in place. This ensures you're covered and can navigate any unexpected twists in your travel plans with confidence.

Do you offer travel insurance?

Certainly, insurance options will be provided once your trip arrangements are finalized. It's essential to communicate your preference to your agent regarding whether or not you'd like to opt for insurance coverage. If you decide not to take the insurance, please be aware that you would be responsible for any penalties resulting from cancellations or other unforeseen circumstances. Making an informed decision about insurance ensures that you have the necessary protection in place for a worry-free travel experience.
