I’ve worked in the travel industry for over 25 years now and now I work as a professional travel planner with Travel Counsellors. Another colleague and I have both teamed up with Global Grasshopper to offer a professional travel planning service.
That’s right we can organise your trip for you whether you’re looking for a bespoke trip of a lifetime or a quick city break you don’t have the time to book yourself!
The benefits of partnering with a professional travel professional extend far beyond what all the usual automated systems can offer. Here are the benefits…
1. Full Financial Protection
As I mentioned I work for the Travel Counsellors brand which is an award-winning and very well-established travel company. The brand ensures every time you book your money is completely safe as the Travel Counsellors offer 100% financial protection.
2. Personalized Expertise
Professional travel planners always take the time to understand your unique preferences, interests, and travel goals.
We’ll use our expertise to curate personalized itineraries tailored to your specific needs and desires.
With insider knowledge and firsthand experience, we’ll offer recommendations that go beyond generic tourist attractions, ensuring a truly customized travel experience!
3. Time-Saving Convenience
Planning a trip can be time-consuming and overwhelming, especially when navigating through countless options and logistical details. We can streamline the planning process by handling all the research, bookings, and coordination on your behalf.
They save you precious time and energy, allowing you to focus on enjoying the anticipation of your upcoming adventure rather than getting bogged down by tedious logistics!
4. 24/7 Support and Assistance
We can provide round-the-clock support and assistance before, during, and after your trip. In the event of unexpected changes or emergencies, we can act as your advocate and problem-solver, ensuring smooth resolution and minimal disruption to your travel plans.
Whether it’s a flight delay, a lost reservation, or a medical emergency, you can rest assured knowing that we have your back every step of the way!
5. Insider Knowledge and Local Expertise
Through our many years of professional experience, we’ve gained insider knowledge and local expertise that surpasses what you can find on mainstream travel websites.
We can offer insights into hidden gems, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and authentic cultural experiences that may not be widely known to the average traveler.
By tapping into our network of destination experts and local contacts, we can provide invaluable guidance that enhances your overall travel experience.
6. Customized Recommendations and Itineraries
We can craft customized recommendations and itineraries based on your interests, preferences, and budget.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, cultural immersion, or culinary delights, we design itineraries that cater to your specific tastes and interests.
From arranging private tours and unique experiences to making restaurant reservations and scheduling activities, every aspect of your trip is carefully curated to exceed your expectations!
7. Access to Exclusive Deals and Upgrades
We often have access to exclusive deals, discounts, and promotions that may not be available to the general public.
We can also leverage their industry connections to secure complimentary upgrades, special amenities, and VIP treatment at hotels, resorts, and attractions.
By tapping into our network of partners and suppliers, we can help you get the most value out of your travel budget.
8. Peace of Mind and Stress Reduction
Perhaps most importantly, booking with us offers peace of mind and stress reduction. Knowing that a seasoned professional is handling all the details and logistics allows you to relax and fully immerse yourself in the joy of travel.
Whether you’re a seasoned globetrotter or a first-time traveler, having a trusted expert by your side alleviates anxiety and ensures a seamless and worry-free travel experience!
In conclusion, while online booking platforms offer convenience and accessibility, the benefits of booking with a travel planner are unparalleled! We promise! So, whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a bucket-list adventure, contact us and we can help!
