Tailored Luxury

You might not even know where you want to go yet, but you know you want this trip to be special. This trip will be anything but cookie-cutter; this trip will celebrate you and your interests; this trip will pack a punch. We’re here to help! Our Tailored Luxury services are designed to fit you and your travel. This is an itinerary design process designed to be specifically tailored to your defined goals. Not sure exactly what those are yet? We can help with that, too.

Intuitive Consultation

Phase #1: Consultation & Design – $400 Fee

As a professional consultant, we specialize in designing a curated itinerary that is completely custom to each of our client’s unique travel styles and trip goals. Each Tailored Luxury trip begins with a complimentary consultative “discover” call where we learn more about you and your vision for your trip. If we both feel our Tailored Luxury service is a good fit, we will move forward with our one-time $400 trip initiation fee. Not only does this fee cover our time and expertise, it also includes up to 3 itinerary revisions, which is crucial to an exceptional travel experience.

Phase #2: Ready to Book – 20% NET Fee

For direct hotel bookings, our compensation is already built into the commissionable rate and is paid to us by the hotel. In contrast, for custom itineraries through Tailored Luxury, we pass on NET pricing which is the negotiated, unpublished cost. Because of this, once you’re ready to book, we charge our commission out separately at 20% of the total NET cost of the itinerary. While our pricing is certainly a reflection of our expertise since 2006, we also believe our pricing model allows for transparency and mutual trust.

Pro-tip: While you’re “shopping” for a travel advisor, typically, many will include their compensation in the total trip cost without a breakdown of how much they are making (or in our case, “charging”). Through our unique pricing model, you know exactly who your money is going to and how much. 

A Collaborative Approach

If planning the trip is as enjoyable for you as actually taking the trip, we get it! We don’t want to rob you of that fun, we want to make it even better. No more pulling out your hair trying to sift through 100,000+ internet search results – we can help target the destination research, make introductions to local experts, and help avoid the stressful parts of the design process so you can enjoy the daydreaming!

The more we know about you, the more personalization we can add to your ultimate itinerary. We are attentive to your preferences and needs, and incorporate these elements into your itinerary as much as possible: anything from your favorite wine to knowing when your kids need a place to nap. By understanding your travel style, we are better able to make the right recommendations. It is these little details that allow us to present you with a fully curated itinerary. 

You Define Success

Your itinerary can be as detailed or as flexible as you want it to be. We can manage as little or as much of your trip as you like, and will advise you when it makes more sense to book independent elements vs. one packaged option. We’ll help you with:

  • Lodging – we’ll help you pick the best hotels for your tastes… or maybe a residential apartment, private yacht, or tented camp is more up your alley?
  • Planes, trains, and automobiles – we’ll help you get there and get around.
  • Activities and tours – we’ll match your interests with your destination, cooking, painting, shopping, hiking, dancing, you name it and we’ll find the best experience for you.
  • The final touches – we’ll help with everything from packing advise to shipping that bag so it is waiting for you on arrival!

 Exceptional Partnerships

Aside from our destination knowledge, we also have great confidence in our partnerships with destination specialists and tour operators around the world. We aspire to learn all we can about our vendors and their services, so that we can connect your itinerary with the best operators and execute a dependable and quality itinerary on every trip. Our close relationships with our preferred vendors allow us to deliver the ultimate VIP experience for you. We elevate your trip experience through communicating all of your details and preferences to the vendors and we work with our partners to create a little extra magic for you throughout your trip. You’ll see the results of our valued partnerships during travel in both the large and small details – from a surprise gift or itinerary addition to an exceptional turn down service at the end of a long day of touring.

We are proud to say that we have booked many incredible trips for our clients from a 7-week adventure through Europe & South Africa for a family of four to a whirlwind journey of luxury and spirituality that included Tanzania, the Maldives, Bhutan and Thailand. We’ve created incredibly romantic Italian honeymoons and a New England road trip that ended with a special marriage proposal. Ready for a challenge and backed with an incredible knowledge-base from our strong relationships all over the world, we can’t wait to see where we can take you to fulfill your travel dreams!
