If you’ve ever planned your own luxury vacation, you know firsthand how many rabbit holes you have to go down just trying to pick the perfect hotel and book the flights.
And that’s before you even try to untangle the endless number of details to book activities and excursions to make it a trip your family won’t forget: mapping out an itinerary, arranging transportation, organizing activities, making restaurant reservations, and more. It’s overwhelming, time-consuming, and often frustrating to create a dreamy vacation everyone will love.
The solution? Hiring an experienced travel planner like Nellie. Here are three ways working with us can be a game changer.
1. Save 40-60 hours of your precious time
Planning a luxury trip yourself requires scouring the internet for hours on end—researching destinations, finding the ideal hotels, reading reviews, and piecing it all together into a cohesive itinerary. For a two-week trip, this process could easily consume 60 hours of more of your time.
As a luxury travel planner, Nellie does all of this time-consuming legwork for you, handling every detail from start to finish. All you have to do is share your vision and preferences, then sit back and let us craft your dream itinerary while you focus on your life. Since we’re a bespoke service, the trip we create is custom-tailored to you, and that means you get to weigh in as much as you’d like. But you’ll be blissfully out of the loop on the many day-to-day details of planning. Most of our clients spend less than five hours working on a trip with us.
2. Get exclusive access and insider expertise
Beyond the time savings, an experienced luxury travel planner like Nellie provides insider knowledge that allows us to curate a superior experience for you. We’ve already vetted—and have established relationships with—the best hotels, tour companies, guides, and more through our own firsthand travel experiences and local connections. Whether it's securing experiences not available to the general public—like getting onto the floor of the Tokyo fish market where no tourists are allowed, taking a classes in the home of a locals, private tours of iconic landmarks outside of opening hours, or scoring tickets to exclusive events, we have the connections to elevate your travel experience from ordinary to extraordinary.
Our expertise also means you'll have access to unique properties and off-the-beaten-path experiences that you otherwise wouldn’t know about. We’ll make sure you avoid crowded “tourist traps” so you can discover and explore the true heart and soul of your destination.
3. Get peace of mind knowing someone’s got your back all the way
Like the best luxury travel planners, we ensure each trip is completely bespoke, designed with your specific interests and preferences in mind. And our high-touch service is there for you from take-off to landing back at home. We’ll provide 24/7 support to ensure everything on your trip goes like clockwork.
If you’re already dreaming about handing over the stress of planning and logistics your next trip, get in touch. We’re on standby to do the work so you can just sit back, relax, and get ready to go on your next adventure.
