travel is my passion.
Working closely alongside my clients, each itinerary created by The Travel Elixir is personally designed with YOU in mind. There are no “cookie cutter” itineraries and all proposals are curated to include: accommodation matched to each individual based on their needs; touring experiences delivered by trusted local suppliers who open doors to their country that would be impossible to discover on your own; competitively priced airfares that provide the most seamless connections to and from your destination; seamless logistics to get you from door to door- all of which adds up to an elevated travel experience and unforgettable memories that you will be talking about for years to come.
Throughout the whole process, I am available 24/7 for any questions you may have, including while you are abroad.
CONTACT
To begin, head over to the contact section and complete the initial enquiry form in as much detail as possible. From here, I will set up a call to discuss your planned trip in more detail and arrange for pre-payment of the itinerary planning fee.
PLANNING
Next I get to work researching and curating a unique travel proposal for you and your family or loved one. Once you are happy with the proposal and necessary deposits are paid, I confirm all the bookings and detail what further payments may be required and by when. We also discuss travel insurance to ensure your investment is protected.
DEPARTURE
Prior to departure, each itinerary is presented in an easy to navigate digital format, via an online itinerary app that can be printed or downloaded to your smartphone. I also include ‘insider tips’ to add to your experience, including restaurant recommendations and sights not to miss.
planning packages
At The Travel Elixir, we recognise that all trip requests are different. With that in mind, we have a range of planning packages that allow you to tailor our services to your needs. During our discovery call, I will also advise what planning package I believe is most suitable for the level of planning your enquiry requires.
