Full Service
Travel Planning
Not your typical travel agent
I don't focus on commissions.
I charge a fee for my services because I want to choose my favorite guides, drivers and boutique hotels because they're the best fit for you, not because I'm able or unable to get commissions
I like to keep everything as transparent as possible by breaking down pricing on the itinerary
I decided to focus on Spain, Portugal and Morocco because of my passion for and extensive experience in these countries. I'm your partner in this and will answer honestly whether something will or will not be the right fit for your itinerary.

“Our experience with Talia was truly exceptional.
When we decided to plan a family trip to Spain and Portugal spanning 10 days, Talia handled every aspect of our itinerary with the utmost care and professionalism, except for booking our flights.
During our initial consultation, which lasted 30 minutes, Talia attentively listened to our preferences and requirements, and within 24 hours, she presented us with a comprehensive itinerary that perfectly suited our family of five.
Talia was incredibly receptive to any changes or adjustments we proposed, and she was particularly helpful in guiding us towards Marriott accommodations to maximize our rewards points. Her meticulous attention to detail was evident throughout the planning process, as she meticulously checked and double-checked every aspect of our trip, even those areas I had initially taken responsibility for.
The excursions Talia recommended were nothing short of exceptional, adding unforgettable experiences to our journey.
Even when unexpected issues arose at the last minute, Talia remained unfazed, responding with grace and patience that surpassed any experience we've had with other travel agents in the past.
In addition to her outstanding customer service, Talia's wealth of knowledge and expertise in travel planning is truly remarkable.
Without hesitation, I highly recommend entrusting Talia with the planning of your next trip to Spain, Portugal, or Morocco. Her dedication and professionalism ensure a stress-free and unforgettable travel experience.”

faq
What will you NOT be booking?
I specialize in the on-the-ground experiences (like hotels, excursions, train travel, transfers etc.)
I will NOT be booking your flights, rental cars or AirBnBs.
I will of course provide suggestions and guidance for all of the above, but I find that it works better for my clients to book their own flights, select their own type of cars and insurance, and be able to communicate directly with their Airbnb host.
Can I ask for revisions?
My hope is to get the first itinerary as close to perfect as possible. I'm happy to help with 1 or 2 revisions.
Should we need to make major changes (dates, number of people, routing and cities you're visiting), the each extra revision is 25 USD.
Will you be available to me 24/7 while I travel?
No. I aim to make my itineraries as thorough and transparent as possible by linking and uploading all confirmations, addresses and contact details.
So that if you can't find your driver upon arrival, you have everything you need to be able to contact them without having to wait for me to be the middle party.
However, I will give you my WhatsApp details before you leave for your trip, so that you're easily able to reach out to me in case you have questions while traveling.
What are the costs?
I charge a flat fee of 750$ for my Full Service Travel Planning package.
I aim to work within your budget and will always break down each segment of the itinerary so that you know exactly where the cost is coming from.
Generally, I expect travelers to spend 250-550$ per person per day in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
What is your cancellation policy?
It's always sad when you have to change your plans. Here is my policy:
30% deposit - nonrefundable
31 - 6 days before your trip - 50%
nonrefundable
5 days before your trip - 100%
nonrefundable
That being said, I will always try to get back as much back as I can, outside the deposit amount.
I would also suggest to purchase travel insurance (I generally recommend Faye)
