When you book directly through me, you're essentially covering the cost of my services, even though the commission is already included in the pricing. The benefit, however, is that there are typically no additional fees, unless it's for a personalized itinerary. Let me highlight some key advantages of choosing me as your travel agent:

Value Added: Travel agents have access to exclusive deals not available to the general public, often accompanied by additional perks.

Time Savings: Instead of spending time researching destinations and activities, rely on the expertise of a travel professional to guide you and handle reservations.

Personalized Service: Agents learn your preferences, ensuring your desires are met. You'll have a direct contact for any changes or additions, avoiding unnecessary complications.

Troubleshooting Assistance: Life brings unexpected challenges. A travel agent can help navigate issues that arise during your journey.

When you reach out to me via email or phone, share important details like your names, ages, travel dates, preferred type of travel, and desired destinations. I'll then present you with a range of options, go over pricing and inclusions, and discuss various payment methods. Once we've settled on the perfect trip for you, we'll finalize the payment details, and I'll provide you with all the essential dates and information for your upcoming vacation.

Trip insurance is always recommended. While most vendors offer insurance, third-party options specializing in travel are also available. I can provide advice on cost and plan differences to help you make an informed decision.

Different vendors have varied payment schedules. Some require a deposit with the final payment due later. I will track all payment dates, giving you advance notice. If the trip is within 60 days, full payment may be required at booking. Most vendors accept major credit cards, ensuring secure transactions with your card information stored electronically, requiring verbal authorization before any charges.

If you find yourself needing to make changes or cancel your plans, please reach out to me right away. Depending on the timing, there might be fees and penalties involved with modifications or cancellations. I'm here to assist you through the process and provide guidance on the best course of action.
