Our direct collaborations help us receive the best pricing possible and it builds our brands’ trust and acknowledgement which ultimately concludes in our clients personal and best service! - Why no pricing on your website?

Perhaps you’d like to mix things up with a simple hotel in one area but then follow that up with a few days of pampered self-indulgence in more luxurious surroundings? What about activities? You may like more activities in one location or less in another. As you see not one trip is alike therefore we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all types of itineraries with pre-arranged activities hotels and pricing. The beauty of a tailor made vacation is created ideally just for you at your travel budget!
- Are your prices competitive?
Yes because we work with the majority of our suppliers directly therefore eliminating third parties and earning competitive rates.
- What is the currency for price quotes?

All transactions take place in the USA eliminating questions about pricing and all prices are in USD. A price quote is valid for 7 days from the time of proposal because of the fluctuation of the currency. Upon a deposit, the price of the quote is locked eliminating any further changes to the pricing of your itinerary.
- Can you make trip adjustments after the first quote?
Yes, we make the adjustments within reason. After your quote it may take up to 2 times maximum to adjust your trip. If more adjustments need to take place then the non-refundable plan 2 go fee will be requested and a $100 per adjustment fee will be applied to your itinerary/quote.

These are fee-based services, which include individualized tour planning and communication. The plan-to-go fee covers our associated costs and the time we invest in researching all available possibilities to make your vacation the most enjoyable.
Your itinerary quote and invoice also indicate the plan-to-go fee.
- How do you get paid?
We earn our income by negotiating special net rates as a wholesale tour company with the hotels and suppliers. Our pre-negotiated wholesale contracts allow us to receive competitive pricing. Due to the volume and our excellent financial relationship with our suppliers our clients benefit from the competitive rates plus our service. We in turn earn our commission and the hotels and suppliers get their services sold as well. It's a win/win/win for everyone.
