Support. We are your best advocate when something goes wrong.

In many cases, you end up saving money and we can match or beat the rates you find. We can work within your budget, and we always focus on making sure that you get a solid value in return for our fees.

One of the most widespread misconceptions about working with a Luxury Travel Planner is that we only offer value on complex, multi-stop itineraries. However, we can also complete hotel only bookings and are able to add value on practically any luxury hotel reservation thanks to our access to the Virtuoso network which translate to benefits like upgrades, complimentary breakfast, resort or spa credits, and more. Be sure to take advantage of these exclusive benefits simply by booking through Married to adventure tours!
Travel Design Fees
As with most travel planners within the industry or any business that provides a service, we do charge travel design fees. We work on a consultative basis to design luxurious trips that are tailored to each individual client’s unique tastes, preferences, and travel goals. The process of researching and putting together a customized proposal that matches your travel goals takes time. On average, we spend anywhere from 10 – 30+ hours working on a trip from initial consultation through the conclusion of your trip. Our travel design fee covers our initial consultation and the time spent researching, developing, and revising a custom itinerary, booking and managing the components, and support while traveling. Please note – because of this, these fees are non-refundable and will be charged regardless of whether a trip is booked. If your trip is canceled for any reason, we understand, and we are happy to apply your fee towards a future trip with us booked within 24 months. More information on our fees can be found here.

We work with all sorts of clients (individuals, couples, families, groups, etc.). Our ideal clients focus on value rather than cost. We will work with any budget, but where we provide tremendous value and expertise is with high-end hotels and resorts, creating complex itineraries, and rare access experiences and special requests.
Yes! We charge a ticketing fee of $30 for domestic and $50 for international which allows us to monitor the flights booked for any changes, delays, or cancellations.
