CUSTOM, SELF-GUIDED TRIPS IN EUROPE

Take the stress and uncertainty out of planning your independent trip.

Conflicting advice from guidebooks, on-line sources and well-meaning friends can often lead to more confusion than clarity when it comes to planning your own independent trip.

My unique Trip Consultation and Hand Crafted Trip Plan services have helped hundreds of travelers cut through the clutter with unbiased expertise, based on over 25 years of experience living, traveling, and leading tours in Europe.

As part of the Custom Trip Plan you get so that you can book the hotels directly yourself. If you prefer, I can book the hotels for you for $15 per hotel.

Trip Consultation

The Trip Consultation is an in-depth question and answer session during which you can ask me for advice on your trip plans, or anything to do with European travel in general. I'll help you focus your trip to what's desirable and what's possible given your travel budget, time and interests.

I can help you connect the dots by recommending off-the-beaten path places you may never have heard of, or, if you're trying to do too much I'll help you eliminate places to keep your trip enjoyable.

Following the Trip Consultation I'll provide you with a printout that includes full contact information (address, phone, fax, web site, e-mail) for my recommended hotels and restaurants in each of the areas you'll be visiting. The fee for a Trip Consultation is $60 for the first half hour, $45 for each half hour after that.

Hand Crafted Trip Plan

Your Hand Crafted Trip Plan starts with a questionnaire and 30-minute Trip Consultation. With the information I gather from you I will prepare a personalized guidebook that includes a detailed, day-by-day itinerary with recommendations on organizing your time, what to see, and how to get around (including train timetables, and/or driving directions), as well as full contact information for my recommended hotels and restaurants (address, phone, fax, web site, e-mail).

You also get a follow-up consultation to answer any questions you may have after you receive your Hand Crafted Trip Plan.

The fee for a Hand Crafted Trip Plan is based on the number of days I'm planning for you: $195 for up to 7 days; $295 for 8 to 15 days; $395 for 16 to 21 days.

“Thank you for helping us plan a most enjoyable trip. Pre-planning, with your recommendations, made this a low-stress, high-appreciation experience. Looking forward to planning our next adventure with you!” —Rich L., California
