About tailor-made travel.
What is it?
What is a tailor-made trip? A tailor-made trip is a journey customized to the needs and desires of the travelers.
It is not solely made up of a flight/accommodation package with full board. Custom travel allows you to freely choose all the travel services, including the accommodation and transportation, but also activities and experiences, especially cultural, gastronomic, or exploration of large open spaces.
We offer help from independent specialists and local experts to create and organize your own custom trip.
In English, this is translated as “tailor-made travel”, a trip specially “tailored” for you, like a suit that fits you perfectly, comfortable and made for you.
Custom travel can be done as a couple, with family, among friends, in a group, or solo. You can alternate between roaming and relaxing stops, in road trip or backpacking style, or simply by radiating around a main accommodation.
Custom travel encompasses both vast landscapes and city trips, trekking and diving, as well as general cultural itinerancy that alternates between nature, cultural visits, and sports for everyone's greatest enjoyment. It’s also a private or group journey, with a private guide if you wish.
Create your custom trip.
The ideal is to have access to the most authentic experience. For that, turn to a custom travel designer who speaks your language, shares your interests, and shapes your trip with you according to your desires by selecting the best suppliers thanks to their knowledge of the field. We then book all these services so that all you have to do is leave with complete peace of mind. The aid in travel organization is the future of online travel, as the offer presented to travelers on the internet is plentiful and does not allow travelers to easily organize themselves.
But you can also, if you are not lacking in time or patience, organize everything by yourself: without support on-site, be careful not to make mistakes in your choices! Do not hesitate to contact us if you want to benefit from the advice of our custom travel specialists for the same price as when you book all the services yourself.
The last option is to opt for the all-inclusive package, which offers little room for customization and does not allow you to benefit from the great deals from local experts in tailor-made travel.
A good custom travel designer is a tourism professional, an expatriate or an avid traveler who knows a destination well and is able to offer you personalized stays in countries they are familiar with. They have plenty of "insider tips" that they share with you and can create a journey tailored to your desires. They are able to adapt to a request thanks to their knowledge of the field and their network of providers. They are a travel enthusiast who wants to provide you with the most complete experience that meets your expectations. They can also meet and greet you on-site if you wish and can be an Airbnb host or personal guide themselves, incorporating their services into the organization of your stay.
The price of a tailor-made trip varies. It depends on the number of participants and the duration of your trip, the destination, and the type of accommodation you prefer.
Custom travel means choosing to travel in "budget" mode, eco-friendly, adventure, luxury, or alternating levels of comfort and mobility. It's up to you to define your limits. It's quite possible to organize your trip with a pre-defined budget, and you have the freedom to treat yourself to "extras" or not.
Create your custom-made trip with an independent organizer will not be more expensive than if you did it without any help. Indeed, the organizers and the platform are compensated through commissions negotiated directly with the providers and the final price for the travelers does not change. Only the advisory service of the organizer might constitute an additional cost, offset by the lower prices that our network guarantees on most of the services offered for booking.
Our displayed prices are estimates since all our trips are customized: the price of your trip will therefore vary depending on the customization of your offer, both in terms of services and schedule (prices vary significantly as the high seasons approach).
You are spoiled for choice: you can hunt for good deals on plane tickets to choose your destination opportunistically: citytrip getaways in all the capitals of Europe, great outdoors, there are plenty of opportunities to organize your trip by taking advantage of the cheapest plane tickets.
Very often, you benefit from the experiences of your circle and the shares on social media, where you choose a destination that matches the activities and experiences you want to plan on-site: cultural capitals, seaside resorts, vast landscapes, sea or mountain, the seasons often determine your decisions; additionally, depending on the time and budget you have for your trip, you are forced to choose destinations that are more or less distant. But in absolute terms, the sky is the only limit, from a world tour to a city trip close to home!
When you travel with a travel operator registered in France, you have all the guarantees of an Atout France certified travel agency. In particular, you benefit from repatriation insurance and the agency is legally responsible for all the services sold, except for those "to be paid on-site" which are purchased outside the contract by the traveler.
In addition to the serenity of the travel contract that allows you to be taken care of by a single provider, an operator of independent custom travel organizers like us offers the same guarantees as a traditional travel agency. You do not receive the same services when you book each component of your trip yourself with receptive operators or when you trust an unregistered organizer.
Without precise knowledge of your destination on-site, you need help to design and plan your trip online. Our organizers are the ideal specialists to prepare your vacation transparently and convivially. We will then book the services you have selected -accommodation, activities and experiences, transportation- and you will benefit from local tips, such as restaurants or bars.
You can also create your custom-made trip online with independent travel creators (without all the contractual guarantees provided by registered travel operators), or by yourself.
