Tell us the dates and who is coming, and we will tell you honestly whether it is a trip we can plan well — and what we would change to make it better.
Start planningThe day above is free and yours to use. What it cannot do is decide where this fits in a two-week trip, which hotel works with your arrival time and your walking pace, what needs reserving months ahead, or what happens on the day it rains. That is the part you would be hiring me for, and planning starts at $750.
Or read the questions we are asked most — what a trip includes, how far ahead to book, deposits and cancellation.
