No points? We'd still love to plan your trip.
Points are our specialty, not a requirement. Plenty of the people we work with have no points, no rewards cards, and no interest in starting one. That is completely fine, and it changes nothing about how we work together.
You still get an advisor who knows the destination, builds the plan around how you like to travel, books the pieces for you, and gets you hotel benefits you can't book on your own.
Plan my tripEverything except the part that needs points.
Take any of these on their own, or hand us the whole trip.
Itineraries
A day-by-day plan built around your pace, not a generic list of sights. Where to base yourself, what's worth the trip out of town, and how much to leave unscheduled.
Hotels
We book the room, and where the property participates in an advisor program, you arrive with perks attached. More on that below.
Cruises
Matching the line, ship, and itinerary to the trip you actually want, then booking the cabin and everything around it.
Activities & tours
The guides, tastings, day trips, and tickets worth booking ahead, reserved before they sell out, and the ones you can safely skip.
Logistics
Trains, transfers, rental cars, and the timing that ties them together. The unglamorous part of trip planning that eats your evenings.
Advisor-only rates and perks that don't show up on booking sites.
We're affiliated with Fora Travel, which gives us access to advisor programs at hotels all over the world. When a property participates, we book you into a rate you can't find yourself, and the extras are attached to your reservation before you ever check in.
Perks worth real money
Daily breakfast for two, a property or resort credit to spend on site, and a room upgrade when one is available at check-in. On a week-long stay, breakfast alone often covers our fee several times over.
The small things too
Early check-in and late checkout where possible, a welcome amenity, and a note on your reservation that you arrived through an advisor. It's a different reception than booking anonymously online.
Usually at the same rate
These rates are typically the same as, or close to, the public price you'd pay booking it yourself. The benefits come on top rather than instead of a good rate.
Which hotels participate and which perks apply varies by property and rate. We'll tell you exactly what's included before you book anything, and we'll tell you when a hotel you're considering isn't in a program at all.
Booking through us doesn't mean giving up your status.
If you're a member of a hotel loyalty program, even the free tier you signed up for once at a front desk, we'll attach your number to the reservation. At most properties you'll still earn points and nights on the stay and keep your elite benefits, stacked on top of the advisor perks.
It does vary by brand and by rate, and when a booking won't earn we'll say so up front and let you decide. Which means you might quietly end up with a points balance without ever setting out to collect one. No pressure to do anything with it, but if you ever get curious, we can show you what it's worth.
Places we know well enough to have opinions about.
We'll plan a trip anywhere you want to go. These are the ones where we can tell you which neighborhood to stay in, which day to book the hard-to-get table, and which famous thing you're allowed to skip.
Spain
Where to base yourself, and how much time the north really deserves.
Portugal
Lisbon and Porto, plus what's actually worth the drive in between.
Italy
The famous stops, paced so that they don't blur into each other.
France
Paris, and the regions worth the extra train ride to reach.
Hawaiʻi
Which island fits the trip you have in mind, and which side of it to stay on.
Across the US
Road trips, national parks, cities, and long weekends close to home.
One flat fee for the trip. Not per booking.
Cash bookings are $99 for the whole trip, however many hotels, tours, and transfers it takes to put together. The first consult is free, and you decide whether to go ahead after it. If you ever add a points service later, the $99 is waived entirely.
