The Perfect Trip
Want to travel independently but are tired of guidebooks that are out-of-date, irrelevant to your interests, or full of unreliable information?
Know where you want to go but don't have time to plan the details?
Worried you're missing out on local deals and discounts?
Trying to plan the perfect trip but having trouble building the itinerary?

As a travel consultant, I offer booking advice and tailored itinerary recommendations for independent travelers.

The Benefits
You may be wondering what I can do for you that you can’t do for yourself. The simple answer is ‘nothing’. You can book your trip on your own.
But you won’t necessarily get the best prices or ensure that you eat at the best restaurants, visit the museums that most fit your interests, or get from one city to another in the most cost-effective and efficient way possible.
Local knowledge is infinitely valuable, and that is where my expertise can help make your trip uniquely unforgettable.
Furthermore, I can save you time. While you might spend several hours trying to figure out the best way to get from Madrid to Barcelona, I know off the top of my head that the high-speed AVE train is the right answer.
Let me worry about the details so you can focus on the excitement of your trip.
Additionally, I subscribe to ITA and ExpertFlier, which allow me to see flight availability and pricing on every airline in the world. I also closely monitor European train prices and schedules. You will have access to the most comprehensive airline and train pricing options.
You’ll never have to worry about not getting the best price.
I will also help you maximize the benefits of your travel by suggesting frequent traveler programs you may not have known about, or make sure that your frequent traveler numbers are added to your itinerary.
You’ll be able to take even more trips at less cost to you.
The Booking
I don’t offer a booking service. I will find the best deals for you and call to put them on hold, but you will ultimately purchase the travel yourself after I send you the details.
I will happily make restaurant reservations and other non-cash bookings on your behalf.
The Cost
The pricing of the service depends on the length of your trip, the number of people traveling, and the amount of destinations on your itinerary.
As an example, for a weekend trip to one city for two people with transport and accommodation I charge £50, or $75. That's it. No hidden fees or extra charges.
