What is the Trip Planning process?
- Call, E-mail, or request a call-back from us. We love to talk about travel and inspire you with our knowledge. Contact us
- We encourage a no-obligation face-to-face meeting and will happily visit you at your home, office, or a café at a time that suits you. This enables us to get to know you so that we can tailor our recommendations to your interests.
- We have in-depth knowledge of places off-the-tourist trail so depending on what you want from your holiday, we may suggest detours, locations, and experiences you had not previously considered.
- We can discuss ideas for altruistic activities that may interest you. Keep your eyes on our Blog.
- We follow up with an outline of ideas for you to consider which will develop into a more detailed day-by-day itinerary based on your feedback.
- Based on your input, we tweak and change the itinerary until you are ready to proceed. This may take a few days or a few weeks to finalise, depending on the complexity of the trip.
- On your agreement, we request a deposit representing 30% of the trip cost, unless advised otherwise.
- We book all arrangements and secure your flights, accommodation, guides, transport, and activities.
- We’ll try to meet you around 2-3 weeks before you depart to discuss any trip specifics such as what to take and if relevant, to prepare you for any voluntourism component.
- While you are travelling, you have access to our 24-hour emergency number in the country you are visiting. You can also contact us directly with any questions you may have.
- On your return we love to meet our travellers to hear about your experience.
