How We Work
We create unique, inspired and totally personalized itineraries, with very special activities that are not normally available, and require significant time and effort to arrange. We take you every step of the way, and we are available seven days a week to provide the ultimate in personal service. We make the difference between a good trip … and a truly extraordinary adventure.
The Good Traveller creates unique, inspired and totally personalized itineraries for experienced, discerning travellers. We design one-of-a-kind activities and arrange insider access to people and places that are not available to the ordinary traveler. We usually start with a phone call, and we also love meeting our clients in person if possible. Here are the typical steps involved in planning your holiday with The Good Traveller:
