Custom Itineraries
Do you want to travel to southern Italy with the confidence and assurance only an on-call travel consultant can provide? If so, the Custom Itinerary option is for you.
(Skip directly to a sample customized itinerary here.)
What is a custom itinerary?
Your custom itinerary is a blueprint of your vacation and includes everything you need to fully enjoy southern Italy. See a *condensed sample here.
How does it work?
We will exchange a few emails, you’ll complete a short questionnaire and we will arrange a 30-minute phone consultation.
We’ll create a draft that includes:
- Ideal travel route, recommended number of nights in each destination, transport options
- Accommodations, restaurants, hot-spots, day trips and activities for each destination
- Suggested free time and alternative options
You will review your itinerary and we will follow up with a second 30-minute phone consultation.
We will make changes, additions and adjustments until you love it.
Once you approve your itinerary, we’ll book everything-and confirm them again-prior to your arrival.
What do you get?
- Custom Itinerary Package
In addition to colored maps, photos and a day-by-day vacation outline, your package includes a section on must-eat treats and information on handmade crafts from each region.
- 24/7 Consultant
We are available by phone throughout your vacation to troubleshoot, adjust your itinerary, translate and offer alternative options. Additionally, you have complete access to email consultations prior to your trip.
- Travel Guide
You receive your choice of “Don’t Get Caught with Dirty Drawers … and 64 other tips for traveling in Calabria” or “First-Timers Guide to Southern Italy” (to be released summer 2012).
