Contact us via email. Use the subject line: travel planning services (see below FAQ for what to include)

Please be as detailed as possible regarding which services you need (see above for what we offer), your destination, your budget, and any information which will help us in determining your travel ‘style’. You can contact us at sophie[@]solosophie[dot]com

Step 2

Initial consultation via email/ over call

During our initial consultation, we will decide if we want to work together. We strive to get back to potential clients within 3 working days/ 72 hours.

Step 3

The fun part: the planning!

Based on our initial consultation, we will put together an itinerary/ recommendations. This will include suggestions on what to see day by day, accommodation suggestions, and restaurant recommendations.

Step 4

You will receive your personalised itinerary within 5-7 business days

You will receive your personalised recommendations so that you can start making bookings. We remain available to answer questions you may have.

Please be as specific as possible so that we can help you as much as we can. In your initial email, please provide the following information: *

  • The travel destination you wish to visit
  • Your budget (ideal and maximum)
  • Your dates of your travel
  • Your accommodation preferences (self-catered, hotel, etc)
  • Your food preferences
  • Your travel style (see as much as possible/ fit in rest days, etc)
  • What activities do you like to do (museums, day trips, nature)

A travel planner is a bespoke service which will save you time on organising the details of your trip by providing you with tailored advice and a suggested itinerary to suit your specific needs. Please note that this is a travel planning service and not a booking service. We will provide you with suggestions so that you can go on to book the travel yourself.

Unfortunately we are not a travel agent and so we are unable to make any bookings on your behalf. You are responsible for your own organisation and purchasing of travel. Our services are purely travel consultation and advice. Once you have given us all of the information we need and paid the fee, we will create a PDF with all of our suggestions and recommendations.

The cost will depend on the number of destinations you wish to visit, the length of your trip, and the complexity of the itinerary you wish to have created.

Due to the nature of the personalised digital product, we are unable to offer refunds. However, we will offer one round of revisions, as long as the nature of the revision is not caused by missing information in our initial consultation.
