What exactly do you do?

We specialize in creating personalized, multi-destination travel itineraries for families with young children. While we don't book flights or hotels for you like a traditional travel agency, we handle all the logistics and planning to create a detailed, day-by-day itinerary that is both realistic and exciting for your family. Our goal is to save you time and stress so you can focus on making memories.

Are you a travel agency?

No, we are not a full-service travel agency. We are travel planners who focus exclusively on the planning and itinerary creation process. We provide recommendations for accommodations, activities, and dining, but you are responsible for making the final bookings yourself. This allows us to remain objective and focus on what's best for your family, not what earns a commission.

Do you specialize in a specific type of travel?

Yes, our expertise is in crafting itineraries that allow you to explore multiple places within a single trip. If you're looking to spend a week or two exploring different cities or regions in a country, we're the perfect fit. If your ideal vacation is flying to one all-inclusive resort and staying put for the entire time, we might not be the best choice for you.

Our Planning Process

How does your planning process work?

Our process is divided into three stages to ensure a smooth and comprehensive experience. We start with the Broad Strokes, where we discuss your family's interests and establish a general budget. From there, we move to Nailing Down the Details, where we finalize your destination and outline a high-level itinerary. The final stage, The Full Experience, is where we fine-tune everything, from daily schedules to restaurant suggestions, giving you a complete and easy-to-follow plan.

How do your three planning stages benefit my family?

Our staged approach allows us to build your perfect trip from the ground up. It ensures that every detail, from the big-picture ideas to the small, day-to-day logistics, is carefully considered. This method prevents overwhelm and ensures your final itinerary is practical, exciting, and tailored to your family's specific needs.

Do you help with booking flights and hotels?

We provide curated recommendations and direct links for flights, accommodations, and activities. We’ll show you where to look for the best family-friendly options, but the final booking is done by you. This gives you full control over your reservations and travel details.

Traveling with Kids

How do you know what it's like to travel with children?

We are parents to two young girls and have been traveling with them since they were six months old. We've experienced firsthand the challenges and joys of international travel with little ones and have a wealth of practical experience. Our itineraries are based on what has worked for our family and others like us.

What kind of tips and tricks do you offer for traveling with kids?

We share our proven strategies for surviving long flights and navigating transportation once you arrive. Our itineraries are designed with children in mind, including built-in downtime, age-appropriate activities, and family-friendly dining recommendations to ensure everyone has a great time.

Can you plan trips for families with teenagers or older children? Yes, our planning is not limited to young children. While our personal experience is with little ones, we can absolutely tailor a trip to the interests of older children and teens, incorporating activities that will engage the whole family.

Other Questions

How far in advance should I start planning my trip?

We recommend starting the planning process as soon as possible. For major international trips, starting 6-9 months in advance is ideal to secure the best rates on flights and accommodations and to give us ample time to create a perfect itinerary.

What kind of destinations do you cover? We are experienced in planning a wide variety of trips, from exploring different countries in Europe to a multi-city tour of a country. We are open to helping you plan a trip to almost any destination in the world, as long as it's a good fit for our multi-destination approach.
