What is a travel planning fee?

A travel planning fee covers the professional services of designing a complete family holiday tailored to your needs. It begins with an initial discovery meeting to understand your family, their preferences, and requirements. From there, I will create a bespoke itinerary including carefully selected hotels, flights, transfers, activities, and childcare options, all recommended based on my first-hand experience and expert knowledge.

This fee ensures every element of your holiday is thoughtfully planned, coordinated, and suited to your family, saving you time, reducing stress, and giving you confidence that your trip will run smoothly from start to finish.

What the fee covers

Planning begins long before anything is booked. We personally research the destinations and hotels to assess family facilities. We consider the practical details of travelling with children, and design a holiday that genuinely suits your family.

Every recommendation is carefully designed so your holiday runs smoothly from start to finish.

Why we charge a planning fee?

Most travel agents are paid commission by hotels and tour operators. We take a different approach.

We charge a planning fee so our recommendations remain completely independent. Our focus is simply on finding the right holiday for your family.

When you’re investing thousands in a family trip, thoughtful planning makes all the difference.

• An initial consultation and discovery meeting to understand your family’s needs, preferences and how you like to travel

• A fully personalised holiday, thoughtfully designed around your family, including the ages of your children and what matters most to you.

• A bespoke, detailed day-by-day itinerary with carefully selected activities, restaurant recommendations and tailored experiences, with thoughtful details throughout.

• Carefully considered childcare options, tailored to your children and your plans.

• Expert guidance on flights, transfers and all key travel arrangements, ensuring a seamless experience.

• Dedicated support from initial planning through to your return home

Your planning fee includes:

20 years reviewing premium family properties. Real expertise in what works with babies, toddlers, and teenagers. Relationships with the world's best family hotels. The ability to secure rooms when properties show "sold out."

I only recommend holidays and hotels I'd take my own children on.

That's the promise.
