I'm sure you are wondering what's our process and how does everything work.  Below the process we follow when we engage with our clients:

​

Step #1- Schedule a Vacation Planning Session

 

We will schedule a Vacation Planning Session with you to discuss what your travel needs are and what you're expecting out of your vacation.  We will briefly discuss some travel recommendations for your trip based on the information we gather from this call. This information will help us know if we are a good match to work with each other and if we can be of assistance.

 

Step #2 - Sign Engagement Letter

 

After our Vacation Planning Session, if you are interested in engaging with us and proceeding with our travel planning services, we will send you our "New Client Engagement Letter", where it will describe the services we will provide you throughout your vacation planning process and it will also describe what is our Vacation Planning Session Fee and what it consists of.

 

Step #3 - Research and Planning Begins

​

After receiving your signed engagement letter and the payment of our Vacation Planning Session Fee of $125, we will proceed and begin conduction all the research with our different suppliers, based on your travel needs. After doing our research and communicating with our suppliers, we will create a couple of itineraries that will fulfill your travel needs, from which you will select the itinerary that best works for you. This process can take up to 7 days, depending on the type of itinerary and travel needs.

 

Step #4 - Time to Book your Trip

 

Once you select your itinerary, we will proceed in booking all pertaining parts of your trip with the corresponding suppliers, and making all the reservations required to complete your trip.

 

Step #5 - Confirmations go Out

 

Once all of your bookings and reservations are done, we will send you all of the confirmation numbers and/or links to information of any country requirements during your trip.
