One fee for the design. One honest quote for the trip.
No hidden commissions, no pressure, and nothing to pay until you've spoken to a human and decided we're the right fit. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.
The enquiry · freeTell us the dream
Fill in the short form on our contact page: where you've always meant to go, roughly when, who's coming, and a budget band if you have one in mind.
Anything else you want us to know helps: an anniversary, dietary needs, a dream hotel you saw once, a fear of small boats. A real human reads every enquiry.
The call · freeA real conversation
Within a working day or two, one of us calls you. We talk through the brief properly: the pace you like, what a good day looks like for you, what you never want to do on holiday again.
By the end of the call you'll have a clear picture of what we'd design and your design fee, quoted flat and up front. If we're not the right studio for the trip, we'll say so on this call and point you somewhere better.
The proposal · design feeYour itinerary, drafted
Once you're happy to go ahead, the design fee kicks off the real work. We brief the planner who lives where you're going, and within a few days you receive a draft itinerary written for you, not lifted from a brochure.
Then we refine it together. Swap a city for a coastline, slow a week down, add a splurge night. Revisions are part of the fee, not an extra.
The trip · quoted separatelyBook, then breathe
When the design is right, we price the trip itself (hotels, transfers, guides, experiences) as one transparent quote. Book it with us and your design fee comes off the price.
From there, the moving parts are ours to worry about. Our desk stays reachable from the day you leave to the day you land home.
Two numbers. Nothing hidden between them.
This pays for the thinking, and it's the only fee we charge you directly.
- The consultation call and a written brief
- Your draft itinerary, designed by the planner on the ground
- Revisions until the shape is right
- Fully credited against the trip if you book with us
The trip itself, from stays and transfers to guides and experiences, priced as one clear quote once the design is agreed.
- Itemised enough that you can see where the money goes
- No hidden commissions and no upsell pressure
- Typical trips start from £4,200 per person; see each destination
- Payment and protection details confirmed in writing before you commit
If you take the itinerary and book it yourself instead, that's allowed. The design fee is all you'll ever have paid us.
What we do, and what we don't.
Always part of the service
- A vetted planner who lives in your destination
- An itinerary designed from your brief, never a template
- Bookings for stays, transfers, guides and experiences
- A reachable human desk while you travel
- Honest advice, including "don't book this trip"
Not our craft
- Package deals and last-minute bargain hunting
- Cruise-ship and resort-only holidays
- Visa applications, though we'll point you the right way
- Travel insurance, which is required but arranged by you
- Fourteen countries in ten days
