Booking Process
What is Customised Journey / Tailor Made Travel?
Customised or Tailor made means : made-to-order, bespoke, Individually designed.
It is like a personal planning service. You tell us what you want (either in detail,
or give us some parameters to work within), and then we arrange services to fit
your wishes for your holiday, or advise you on improvements which we think you may
want to consider.
When you initially contact us via email or telephone, this is what we do:
- We take some basic information such as name and contact details.
- If you have requested any specific information this will be sent out to you in the
appropriate way.
- We would appreciate knowing how you heard of us so that we can work out which of
our marketing sources are working for us.
- We will put you on our database, so that we can follow up on your request. No other
company has access to our data.
When we begin to plan things with you:
- As soon as possible, we will endeavour to hone down your requirements so that we
can make you a recommended itinerary to consider. This will usually come with a
costing at this stage.
- We usually like to have your names as in passports so that we can hold a suitable
tentative reservations on internal flight / Hotels that are popular - with no obligation
to you.
- We then work with you to fine tune the itinerary you've been sent. Anything can
be amended at this point -length, accommodation, date, services ... and this will
in turn affect the price. Simply email or talk with us and we will try to get as
close as possible to what you really want.
- As we get closer to what you want, it is likely that we will need to reserve the
services you are requesting so that we know that they are available should you decide
to book.
