What are the costs of working with TIY Travel?

TIY Travel has partnerships and relationships with in- destination suppliers- receiving exclusive pricing and offerings. We are able to organize your trip for essentially what you would have paid by planning it yourself. BUT, when working with TIY Travel, you have access to our expertise, recommendations and concierge service throughout the trip, in addition to handling all the planning logistics

Below are our offerings and situations where planning fees may arise: 

  • Initial Call and Sample Itinerary: Complimentary 
    • During our consultation, we learn about what you are looking for and offer our recommendations. Upon deciding on a destination, dates, activities, and more, we provide you with a sample itinerary that works for your group’s budget.
      • This is typically where most clients say Yes to the Vacation! We then fine tune the itinerary to be perfect for you and proceed with vacation planning. 
  • Second Destination Itinerary: $100
    • If you are debating between destinations still or decide to make a change, we can provide you with a second destination itinerary. In this instance, we charge a planning fee to account for the time that we spend customizing the itinerary just for you. 
  • Major Change (i.e. date or destination change): $50+
    • If after booking the trip a major change occurs, we charge a planning fee for the additional work required. 
      • These fees are on a case by case basis, and we will discuss any fees with you before charging.
