1- How long does it take to organize a trip?

In most cases, you will receive your initial itinerary within a few days. First we set up a call with you to get to know your preferences, during which we will ask about your interests and discuss ideas for your chosen destination. From here we will curate a tailor-made itinerary and send it over within a few days. You can then define all the details with the other people in your party before confirming.

2- Do you organize kids-friendly trips?

Of course. We work with many kids-friendly properties and can tailor your program to the ages and interests of your children. Visit our family holidays page to find some inspiration for your perfect trip.
 
3- Is it possible to organize small trips, for example for a weekend? 

Of course, we can arrange trips of any length or intensity. So if you’re looking for a quick domestic getaway, do not hesitate to contact us. 
 
4- Do you book the flights? 

Plane tickets, all airport taxes, and airfare fees are not included in our proposals. Nevertheless, we create your itinerary based on the existing flights and advise you on the best flight options, which are for you to book once you confirm the trip. If you want us to book the flights for you, we can do so for an additional fee. We can also book private jets and charters, through our direct network, should you need them.

5- What happens after I book? 

When you are happy with your final itinerary and ready to confirm your journey, we will send you’re the booking confirmation documents and finalize all bookings with our local suppliers. As you get closer to the departure date and have made your final payment, we’ll send through your travel documents and roadbook before setting up a pre-departure call or meeting to go over every detail of your trip and answer any last-minute questions.

6- Can I book additional services after I have already booked and paid for the trip?

Yes, absolutely. We are very flexible and always welcome new ideas that might come to mind as your departure gets closer.

7- When do I have to pay 100% of the trip?

A deposit of 40% of the total amount of the trip must be paid at the time of the reservation. The balance is to be paid 60 days before the departure date (the exact date will be indicated in the payment document). For reservations made less than 60 days before the departure date, the full amount of the services will be required at the time of order.

8- How can I make the payment?

Payments by bank transfer are accepted. For credit card payments, a fee of 2.5% of the total amount of the file will be required, not refundable by the insurance company. Prices are expressed in EUR per file for the total number of participants, adults and children, on the same trip.
 
9- Do you give price breakdowns?

The details of the services included are precisely defined at the time of the final price summary. The prices also include our technical expertise (product research, intervention, approach and commercial margin). We are not able to give further price breakdowns as we receive contracted rates from our suppliers and these are therefore confidential.
