Why we charge

You're paying for the hours you don't spend.

Planning a trip properly takes hours of research, comparing and coordinating. Our fee covers that time, so you get options chosen for you, not whatever is easiest to book. We compare widely, recommend honestly and stay on it until your trip is set.

  • Personal expertise matched to your preferences and budget
  • Hours of searching, comparing and booking handled for you
  • A real person to ask when plans change

FAQ

Fees & planning questions.

Do you charge for travel planning?

Yes. Tailor-Made Escapades is a professional planning service. After your initial consultation, a non-refundable planning fee of $100 (one destination) or $200 (three destination options) covers the research, options and itinerary work for your trip.

What does the planning fee include?

Three travel options (hotel-only or flight-and-hotel), curated activities, a detailed itinerary in the Travefy app, a price comparison across 700+ vendors, and a compiled list of TikTok and YouTube research videos for your destination.

Is the planning fee refundable?

No. Planning fees are non-refundable because they cover the planning work itself.

Does the fee count toward my trip?

For a limited time, all planning fees are credited toward your trip deposit.

When is the fee due?

The planning fee applies after your initial consultation, once we know what you want and before we build your options.

How do I get started?

Fill out our client inquiry form. It takes a few minutes and asks for your destination ideas, dates, travelers, budget and the activities you like. We follow up to set up your consultation.

Can you plan for big groups?

Yes. Group trips are what we do best, from bachelor and bachelorette weekends to milestone birthdays and our own TME Takeovers. Tell us your headcount on the inquiry form.

Do you book TME Takeover trips through the same form?

No. Each Takeover has its own booking page with a deposit to secure your room. Use the custom inquiry form for everything else.
