Step 1 - Consultation
Time for us to find out what you are looking for in a vacation. And also, for you to feel comfortable with us. We want to know what your expectations are and especially any special requirements or must see or do items on your list. Our consultations are free and are a great place to start creating your vacation vision.
Items that we normally discuss during our consultation:
-
Number and ages of travelers
-
Dates and length of trip
-
Destination (if you don't know, we'll help you narrow it down)
-
Type of trip such as independent, guided or fully escorted
-
Previous travel experiences (good and bad)
-
Types of accommodations
-
Expectations on monetary spending
-
Special requests or celebrations
-
Any other items important to this specific trip
-
Our fees and the process moving forward
Step 2 - Design and Proposals
This is where we get to work to design and layout the vision that we created together in our consultation call. Using our knowledge and experience we will research all of the best options based on our conversation. Then we will provide you with choices based on your requirements and within the parameters of the monetary guidelines that you provided. At this point we can change, adjust, tweak or just plain start over until we get your approval.
