Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Planning
Wondering what a travel advisor does, how much travel planning services cost, or whether you need one for your next trip? Here are the answers.
What does a travel advisor do?+
A travel advisor handles every detail of your trip — from researching the best flights and hotels to building custom itineraries, booking excursions, and providing on-trip support. Unlike booking online yourself, a travel advisor brings personal experience and insider connections to save you time, money, and stress.
How much do travel planning services cost?+
Planning fees start from $25 depending on trip complexity. Tony offers a free initial consultation to discuss your travel goals and provide a clear overview of costs before you commit. Most clients find the time saved and deals secured far outweigh the planning fee.
Do I need a travel advisor for a cruise?+
Yes — a travel advisor adds tremendous value to cruise planning. Tony helps you choose the right cruise line and ship, select the best cabin, book shore excursions, arrange pre- and post-cruise stays, and secure the best promotions and onboard credits you might otherwise miss.
What destinations does Tony specialize in?+
Tony specializes in Italy and Europe, Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises, family-friendly destinations worldwide, luxury escapes, and Africa including Ghana heritage tours. With 40+ countries of first-hand travel experience, Tony provides authentic, tested recommendations.
How far in advance should I start planning my vacation?+
For the best availability and pricing, start planning 6 to 12 months in advance for international trips and cruises. Shorter-notice trips can also be arranged depending on the destination and time of year. The earlier you start, the more options and better rates you'll have.
