what we can do for you

  • Our design fee to create a completely customized week-long itinerary for one family begins at $950. Our design fee reflects the value of our expertise, our preferred partner network and the hours of research and planning we, and our partners, devote to creating an exceptional, one-of-a-kind itinerary just for you. Should you change gears after the planning process begins, additional advisory fees may arise, but we will always communicate that to you.

    Our design fee includes:

    • Initial discover consultation call

    • Design of a fully customized itinerary and 2 rounds of edits

    • Booking of trip components including accommodations, ground transportation, train tickets, tours, experiences, etc. (Should you want us to book airfare, an additional fee will apply)

Three hotel recommendations will be provided as well as the booking of the hotel on your behalf.

Whatever your interests, we boast partner properties across the globe that are ideal for marking such special celebrations. Design fees are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
