What the Fee Covers

Planning begins long before anything is booked. We research destinations, assess family facilities, consider the practical details of travelling with children, and design a holiday that genuinely suits your family.

Every recommendation is carefully considered so your holiday runs smoothly from start to finish.

Why We Charge a Planning Fee?

Most travel agents are paid commission by hotels and tour operators. We take a different approach.

We charge a planning fee so our recommendations remain completely independent. Our focus is simply on finding the right holiday for your family.

When you’re investing thousands in a family trip, thoughtful planning makes all the difference.

  • Personalised destination and hotel research

  • Tailored itinerary design for your family

  • Honest, independent recommendations

  • Coordination of flights, transfers and key details

  • Support throughout the planning process and while you travel.

Your planning fee includes:

20 years reviewing premium family properties. Real expertise in what works with babies, toddlers, and teenagers. Relationships with the world's best family hotels. The ability to secure rooms when properties show "sold out."

I only recommend holidays I'd take my own children on.

That's the promise.
