Four people, a lot of miles.
We only plan trips to places at least one of us knows properly — never from a brochure.
A conversation, a plan, then the booking.
Six to ten weeks for a complex trip, less for something simple. A free call first — about an hour, on where, when, who with, and what you would rather skip.
Then we build a route and a written itinerary, with options, real costs and honest notes on every choice. Two rounds of changes are included before anything is booked, at net rates, with no commission taken.
What we will not compromise on
All four are in the planning agreement you sign before we start.
No commission, ever
We decline it. Everything is passed through at the net rate, with the supplier’s own figure shown.
We only plan where we have been
Ask for somewhere outside that and we will say so, and suggest someone better placed.
Honest notes on everything
Every hotel and guide comes with what is wrong with it as well as what is right.
The plan is yours
Take it and book it yourself if you would rather. We will not withhold the itinerary to force the booking.
A few of the places we know best
A handful of the places at least one of us has spent proper time.
Queensland
Reef, rainforest and hinterland, planned around the tides and the weather, not the school holidays.
Tasmania
Ancient forest and a coastline that rewards slow travel more than any other state we plan.
Japan
Temples, gardens and rail timetables that reward planning down to the half hour.
Portugal
Tiled courtyards and slow food, usually the cheapest of the four and one of the most loved.
Small on purpose
These figures describe what we do, not how many people we have done it for.
We take on a limited number of trips at a time.
So that every one of them gets the attention a rushed itinerary never does.
