Where is your office located?

Although we are located in Colorado Springs, CO, we have clients throughout the United States. Most of our communication can be done via email and over the phone. Local clients are welcomed to meet virtually or at the local coffee shop...coffee & pastry on me!

​

Do you charge a fee for research and travel planning?

Yes. We have a nominal non-refundable Trip Design Fee. This non-refundable fee is separate from the total trip cost and must be paid prior to a Travel Designer beginning any research, booking or additional consulting services. The Travel Design Fee includes the following services: custom itinerary to include flights, hotels, excursions, special requests & reservations and support before and during travel.

 

With each Trip Design Fee, the client will receive up to three (3) options for the same destination and desired travel dates. Please review our nominal Trip Design Fee Schedule for full details.

​
 

Why do you require a Trip Design Fee?

We require a Trip Design Fee because we are a professional service and like most professional service providers, we must charge a fee for our expenses. Plus, the expenses are not going to pay themselves; we want to remain in business. The planning process is the most important step. It takes time to create a memorable, peace of mind experience. Our minimal fees are intended to ensure that our clients receive the quality of service expected and deserved.  Most of our clients will agree that a planning fee is a small price to pay to ensure that their travel is personalized and booked by an experienced & knowledgeable travel advisor.

Do I need a passport?

Further, any minors traveling without both legal parents or guardians need to travel with a notarized letter of consent.

You can but why would you? We can provide you with a wide variety of travel options from a number of different travel suppliers to countless popular destinations. We-re able to present to you special promotions and exclusive incentive offers so you can get the most value out of your vacation. If something goes wrong, do you want to wait on hold for hours on end for a call center employee to come on the line to try and assist you or would you rather the personal attention of a travel professional
