HOW DO PRIVATE TRIPS WORK?

1. First, you’ll fill out and submit the brief questionnaire found here. It’s ok if you don’t have all of the answers, we can figure them out together on our first call. However, the more information you can provide us with in advance the faster we can narrow things down to meet your specific needs and interests. 

2. After we’ve reviewed your questionnaire we will set up a time for our call. During this call, we will go over all of your answers, address any questions you have and chat openly to get a better understanding of your travel style and preferences. 

3. Within 5 business days from our initial, we will reach out to you via email with a proposed itinerary and budget for your trip based on the details provided in your questionnaire and during our call. Upon reviewing our proposal you’re welcome to request any edits or changes which we are happy to discuss via email, Whatsapp or phone/video call. 

4. We will get back to you with an updated itinerary and budget based on your feedback and we can continue making changes until we have all the details just right for you.

5. Once you’ve given us final approval on the itinerary and budget we will send you an invoice with the option to pay online or via check in the mail. Upon receiving your first installment we will finalize all of the reservations discussed.
