Why Planning a Luxury Trip Yourself Is a Bad Idea?

Christopher plans a trip with a group of friends to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef. The crew was very excited to charter a boat for the week and enjoy the underwater world. Once they boarded the boat there were complications with the boat itself, the size was not what the group of friends agreed upon. 

It was unfortunate but they decided the trip must go on. Although they were sleeping uncomfortably, the biggest issue was the smell of gas. Spending most of their time underwater, they looked past the safety concerns of the gas. 

Three meals a day were provided by the boat staff being that they were at sea for 7 days. On day 3, two guests began feeling sick and ended up with food poisoning. Thankfully they were able to recover and at least enjoy the last 2 days of diving. 

Reasons why you need a luxury travel adviser

Not planning a trip with a luxury travel service can equate to lost time, high stress levels and lack of expertise in the destination. We have experienced many hiccups throughout our travels which equip us with the proper knowledge to ensure this does not happen to you! 

Imagine arriving in Greece for your honeymoon, requesting a yacht and they are sold out for the two days that you are in Santorini. The frustrations that would create! 

However, if you were working with a travel advisor the Yacht Staff would be waiting for your arrival with a welcome drink, hors d’oeuvres and knowledge if there are any dietary restrictions without you mentioning a thing! That is one of the many perks when you plan a trip with a luxury travel service.

If you want to elevate your travels, luxury travel services are the best option for you! We are able to access exclusive tickets before they are available to the public, room upgrades, bottle services, access to sold out accommodations or activities, and thoughtfully curated travel experiences most importantly. 

Perhaps, the month you decided to travel will equate to an overcrowded destination of choice. With our knowledge we will advise you to a different destination with similar ambiance but less crowds. 

Let's go to the cooking class and oyster catching in Pelješac Island in Croatia instead of the day trip to Mostar. We advise you based on your personal preferences and understand what will be more enjoyable for you. 

Lastly, when traveling unplanned things happen. Imagine arriving in Finland for your dream trip to see The Northern Lights, Husky Sledding, and visiting Santa but your bag including the planned outfits is now lost! 

Our Tag Alongers arrived in Helsinki but the bags with proper winter attire were left in Germany. This is just wonderful! 

When you have a travel advisor in this scenario, they will advise you to go shopping! Because they are knowledgeable in the EU regulations that permit you to buy what you need (you don’t NEED the Chanel bag to keep you warm) to enjoy your trip. Then we will handle it when you arrive home. Yes, we are guiding you all the way home and to your next trip.

The biggest key to maximizing your travel expert is communication. From the first time you meet your travel advisor you must communicate every single detail that you have in mind for your trip. 

Is this the first time you are going on a trip without the kids? Is this your mothers first experience out of the country? We can add an extra touch of romance with a sunset tour of Capri, Italy instead of the walking tour. 

These are all ways we customize your trip combining your desires and our expertise. Becoming part of the Tag Along Travels Family, means you are now traveling as VIP.
