Expert direction.
Your execution.
Some travelers know exactly how they want to book. They have points to use, platforms they prefer, and the confidence to handle reservations on their own. What they want is a professional in their corner telling them where to go, what to prioritize, and how to make the most of their time. That is exactly what this is.
The expert foundation.
Your plan to execute.
The DIY Planning Guide gives you everything you need to make smart, confident decisions — without handing off the booking process. The expertise is ours. The control is yours.
A focused conversation about your destination, travel style, and what you want to get out of the trip — so every recommendation is tailored, not generic.
Strategic direction on where to base yourself, which areas to prioritize, and what to avoid — based on your travel goals, not a popularity ranking.
A structured outline with suggested activities, timing, and daily flow — a working framework you can adapt and execute your own way.
Three accommodation recommendations at different price points — each with context on location, character, and why it suits your trip.
Curated dining suggestions matched to your taste — from casual neighborhood spots to special-occasion meals. Reservations are yours to make.
Practical advice on getting around — airport transfers, in-destination transport, and how to move between locations efficiently.
Estimated costs for accommodations, dining, activities, and transportation — so you can plan your spend before you book anything.
An opportunity to refine recommendations after you've reviewed the guide — adjustments made before you finalize anything.
Hotels, restaurants, activities, and flights are booked by you — through your preferred platforms, points programs, or booking channels.
The guide provides a framework and flow, not a minute-by-minute schedule. How you fill each day is entirely up to you.
Once your guide is delivered, you're managing your own travel. If you'd prefer someone available during the trip, the full-service experiences are worth exploring.
The journey is yours.
