How It Works

Fill out our Trip Planner sheet to get started and schedule a complimentary discovery session.
Get Acquainted
First we connect with you and get to know you better. This stage is all about finding out what inspires you. We learn about your interests, your travel goals, and your past travel experiences. Once we have a clear picture of your ideal vacation, we’ll discuss the next steps in planning your trip along with our fees.
We Work Our Magic
Next we draw on our wealth of knowledge and experience to create the perfect itinerary for you. With laser focus, we map out the details that will take your trip from memorable to unforgettable. Your travel plan is 100% personalized and unique. During this stage, you can participate as much as you like.
Prepare For Takeoff
With your itinerary finalized and booked, we’ll stay in touch and help you prepare for your trip. As your departure date draws closer, we like to send surprise updates about the highlights we’ve got planned for you. (Think of it like getting an early peek at your Christmas presents.) In this stage, we’ll also be coordinating with our local connections at your destination.
Go Adventure!
This is what you’ve been waiting for: magical, unforgettable Europe. While you’re exploring and indulging your wanderlust, we’ll be available to help keep your trip running as smoothly as a Swiss train station. P.S. — Don’t forget to send pics that’ll make all your friends (and us) jealous.
Tell Your Story
Travel leaves us speechless, then turns us into storytellers. We can’t wait to hear your story! As a people-first business, we truly value the relationship we have with our clients. We’d love to know how we can make your next trip even better. If your experience exceeded expectations, we’d be happy to feature you.
