Working with a Luxury Travel Advisor  is not unlike working with a financial advisor, interior designer, or any other personal service provider where mutual understanding is KEY! That is why we begin every collaboration with a complimentary consultation phone call to discover what makes you, YOU, and to hear what hopes you have for your next greatest adventure. This is also how you'll get to know us more, get a better understanding of how the process works, and learn the value of our services. If it's a mutually good fit, we'll put together thoughts from our call and share a complimentary LookBook with general ideas of what we're thinking. If you like what you see, we'll move on to Step 2.

You sit back and relax while we do a deep dive into R & D! Be prepared to be patient in this phase because like a fine wine or a masterpiece painting, the perfect proposal for your adventure can take some time to curate. We'll be working with our VIP connections to secure the best experiences and opportunities for you, and since this is only accomplished through our personal relationships, time differences and varying schedules can delay things, but we promise, good things come to those who wait.  We'll get back to you with a fully detailed proposal which will beautifully paint the picture of just how fabulous your adventure can be. Your proposal will have full pricing with options, and note deposit and cancellation policies for all components. 

step 2

  • A $250 non-refundable deposit of your service fee is collected before beginning Research & Design.
  • You may request 2 complimentary revisions of your proposal for things like change of date or destination, number of travelers, etc.
  • Additional requests may be subject to a revision fee.
  • Because no two adventures are alike, our service fees are quoted on a case by case basis and will be noted in your complimentary LookBook

step 3

Once your trip is under deposit, most of the collaboration will be one-sided...ours! We'll be working diligently to create a seamless adventure for you with as much attention to detail as we give our own travels. But don't think you'll be completely out of the loop. This is where the fun part happens with all the little extras and we want to make sure we are creating an adventure with all the luxury inclusions you know you want, plus those you didn't even know existed!  Once everything is arranged, we'll send an outline of your adventure in an ITINERARY AT A GLANCE for your review, and upon approval, we'll assemble more than you'll ever want or need to know about your adventure in your CUSTOMIZED DIGITAL ITINERARY APP sent to you 1-2 weeks before travel. This will be your digital travel wallet and contain all important documents, confirmations, tickets, and of course vividly paint the detailed picture of your grand adventure.  Shortly before you go, we'll schedule a BON VOYAGE CALL with you to review your adventure's itinerary and address any last minute questions or concerns, and wish you Happy Travels!

experience

Finally!! Your long-awaited adventure is here and it is FULL of all the experiences you've dreamed of, and probably a few you didn't even know you had to have! From private tours and drivers, to exclusive experiences, skip the line access, and immersive experiences...it's all there! Most importantly, it's personalized and feels special, you know it's an adventure unlike anyone else's, and it feels so relaxing and reassuring to know that we are only a text, call, or email away. That's right! Our full-service bespoke itinerary management includes our on call service should you have questions or need anything at all, but you'll be in such great hands with our trusted partners that it's unlikely you'll need us at all!

step 4

share

You can't get rid of us yet! We can hardly wait to welcome you home and hear all about your adventure! We'll be reaching out to schedule a WELCOME HOME call to celebrate all the highs (and address any lows) and to help you determine your biggest takeaways and revised WANDERLIST as you start dreaming of your next adventure.

G Family, United Kingdom and  Italy

"Marla helped us plan the most perfect, worry-free trip ever! Every detail was carefully planned and prepared so we were able to completely enjoy our vacation. Our flights, transfers, hotels, tours, activities, etc. were well thought out based on her knowledge of us and our wants and needs. Every place we stayed was first class, and the tours and activities we did were absolutely perfect. " 

LH Family, United Kingdom, Cruise

"The level of detail that Marla puts into her trip planning leaves very little chance for things to go wrong! Also, the fact that she assured us that she was just a phone call, text or email away no matter the time (or day) was a great relief for us. Marla’s travel knowledge is amazing, we are planning to use her services for many years to come!"

S Family, Chicago , Luxury Disney

"Like a Travel Fairy Godmother! Working with Marla is an absolute joy, and the world needs more people like her. Her experience, knowledge, and attention to detail is deeply appreciated, and she genuinely cares about the health and safety of my family, especially as we try to navigate traveling during this ever changing pandemic. Marla is a treasure."

B Family, Luxury Disney, The Breakers, Colorado

"The trip was meticulously planned by Marla and I did not experience one bit of exhaustion. I simply checked the app before bed to determine what time we needed to wake up. Then I scrolled thru the meticulously planned day, as the day progressed. From dining, entertainment, VIP Tour Guides and black car service, not one detail was missed. It was a fabulous trip that my family and I will repeat."
