Frequently Asked Questions
✈️ Booking & Services
What services do you provide?
Flights, tours, cruises, ferries, rail, car hire & transfers, accommodation, day tours and complete holiday planning tailored to you.
Do you only book Europe and Greece?
Europe and especially Greece are my great love and specialty, but I can most definitely help you with other destinations worldwide! I’ve travelled to many countries and have first hand knowledge.
Do you book solo travellers?
Yes, solo travel is a big part of what I do. I’ll make sure you feel safe, supported, and excited about your journey.
💰 Payments & Fees
Do you charge a service fee?
I charge a professional planning and service fee for my time, expertise, and personalised support throughout your journey. This covers comprehensive itinerary design, research, booking management, supplier coordination, and ongoing assistance before, during and after your trip, ensuring everything runs smoothly and stress-free. Fee is dependent on complexity of trip.
Can I pay in instalments?
In many cases, suppliers allow deposits with final payments closer to departure. I’ll guide you through all the options available.
📑 Travel Details
Can you book my flights only?
Absolutely I can, however I often suggest to clients that booking directly with the airline themselves might be a more cost effective option, if it’s a straight forward flight from A to B.
Since Covid, airlines no longer pay travel advisors commission. Therefore we have to incorporate a booking fee to allow for our time. Generally this is $100 for a domestic flight and $150 for International. I can guide you as to the best option for your trip.
Do you organise travel insurance?
Yes, and I highly recommend it! I can arrange the right insurance to make sure you’re protected.
I have always used Covermore for my own travel and have an excellent business partnership with them that ensures you’re getting the best cover available for your trip.
Do you arrange group or family travel?
Yes, from family holidays to small groups, I’ll ensure everyone’s needs are met.
Solo Female Group Tours?
I host group tours each year for solo female travellers, to incredible destinations. Sign up to my newsletter or email me for more information!
🏨 Can you offer Hotel Perks?
In most cases, yes - I work with leading hotels to unlock exclusive benefits like room upgrades, breakfast, resort credits, early check-in, and more.
🌏 Why Plan With Me?
Why should you plan with me instead of doing it yourself?
I save you time, handle the headaches, and provide insider knowledge you won’t get online. You’ll have one point of contact from start to finish.
What happens if something goes wrong on my trip?
That’s where I step in. I’ll liaise with airlines, hotels, and tour companies on your behalf so you don’t spend your holiday on hold.
🗓️ Practicalities
How far in advance should I book my trip?
Ideally 9–12 months for Europe in peak season, but I can work with shorter time frames also.
Do you help with visas?
Yes, I’ll guide you on what’s needed and how to apply.
