Planning the trip of a lifetime to Calabria, or elsewhere in southern Italy, takes more work than planning a vacation to a major tourist hotspot. For travelers who like to delve into their own vacations by researching hotels, transportation and local attractions, but would still like an expert opinion on the region, the Custom Consult option might be just for you.

This option is perfect for anyone who is looking for more information on destinations, helpful hints and must-see highlights and would like recommendations on where to go, what to see and how to get there.

Here is how it works:
We will exchange a few initial emails and I’ll ask you to complete a short travel questionnaire.

We will arrange a phone consultation that will last half an hour, where we will discuss your must-see attractions, the type of vacation you are looking for and the style of accommodations, transportation and restaurants that interest you.

Then I’ll combine your budget and travel style to create a detailed list of ideas for your trip that include:
- Suggested route
- 2-3 accommodation recommendations for each location
- Transportation options
- A recommended list of activities
- Suggested day trips
- Restaurant recommendations

You will also get a free 72-hour email consult after you have received your package, to help with any follow-up questions you might have.

Fees:
Consultation rates begin at $50 an hour, with a four-hour minimum. I’ll provide you with a quote after I’ve reviewed your completed travel questionnaire.
