Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure where to start with trip planning? Wondering if I can help with your trip?
Q
Do you offer pre-planned itineraries?
A
No! Every trip plan is customized from the ground up. Every lodging, every tour, every restaurant, every place you visit is different for every traveler. I don’t start planning until I’ve had a one-on-one video call with you.
Q
Do you lead group trips?
A
Yes! I can bring an incredible Icelandic driver and also serve as your guide. This works best for larger groups, and multi-generational family groups where you might want to split up at certain points.
Q
A
In addition to being a travel planner, I’m also a full-service travel agent. I can book your cruise as your agent for the same prices you see online. But then I can help you plan your excursions, airport transfers, and pre- and post-cruise touring plans. I can often save you thousands of dollars by recommending less expensive airport transfers and excursions than those the cruise line offers!
