Full-Service Trip Design
I’ll plan every detail of your trip, from hotel bookings and restaurants to excursions and transportation. Your itinerary will be tailored to your preferences and interests. Includes support during your trip should any issues arise.
How does the planning process work?
-
Once I receive your trip request I will reach out to schedule an introductory call. I’ll get to know you, including your trip vision and travel style, and you’ll learn more about working with me. This initial call is key to me personalizing this trip for you down to every last detail.
At this stage I will provide a quote for my Trip Design Fee (typically $200 per day of travel). Once payment is complete and my agreement is signed I’ll start working on your trip!
-
I’ll put together a detailed itinerary proposal including options for hotels, tours, activities, and special experiences. For multi-destination trips, this will also include recommendations on trip flow, logistics, and ideal length of stay.
I’ll share this with you for your feedback and any edits, and we’ll go from there. The process can be as collaborative or hands-off as you’d like.When the first booking is complete, I’ll also provide an optional insurance quote.
-
Once we’ve finalized the day-by-day itinerary, it’s time for finishing touches like dining reservations, recommendations for local bars/cafes and shopping.
I’ll also share relevant travel tips & entry requirements for your destination (e.g., VISAs, vaccines). -
When it’s time for your trip, you’ll be ready to depart with your itinerary link and travel app to guide you throughout your journey. For more nuanced trips, like Safaris. an optional pre-trip call will be scheduled to review all details and answer any last questions. Once you’re on your trip myself and my ground partners will be on-call to assist you with anything that comes up while traveling.
-
Once you’re back I’ll reach out to hear all about the trip and start planning the next one!
Why work with a travel advisor?
I bring experience, expertise, and a discerning eye to every trip — knowing not just how to plan it, but which places, rooms, and experiences are actually worth your time.
My hotel and Virtuoso partnerships are central to that. I book you into properties with perks the public rate never includes — upgrades, daily breakfast, a property credit, early check-in and late check-out — and because the hotel knows you're someone worth looking after, requests like connecting rooms or a specific view carry extra weight.
Those same relationships open doors across the industry: private tours, VIP shopping appointments, and experiences that don't show up in any search. I handle the research and logistics so the planning never eats into your time, and once you're traveling, you have me in your corner — a dedicated advocate ready to step in the moment anything needs sorting.
Hotel booking only
Complimentary service if you already know where you’d like to stay and do not need itinerary planning. You’ll still benefit from VIP perks.
*Applies to 4 and 5-star hotels
“I would highly recommend Laura for a beautiful trip.”
I worked with Laura on a trip for 3 people to the Cotswolds and London. We could not have been happier with all that she did for us. From beautiful accommodations to private tours to restaurant reservations, everything was seamless and thoughtfully planned. She even successfully went to bat for us when a car service charged us an outrageous fee. I would highly recommend Laura for a beautiful trip.

“She went above and beyond…”
Laura planned an absolutely incredible surprise trip to Paris for my wife’s birthday! The hotel was spectacular, the tours were exactly what we were looking for (informative and friendly), and the meals were outstanding. She went above and beyond, and we felt her thoughtful, personal touches throughout the trip. Would highly recommend her!!!
