Pacific Northwest Journeys Services and Rates

We offer the following services:

• Full Itinerary Planning
• Consultation Service

 

FULL ITINERARY PLANNING SERVICE
Fees for our Full Itinerary Planning Service are based on the amount of time we spend planning your personal itinerary. Our hourly rate for full itinerary planning is $150, with a minimum planning fee of $695, which generally covers trips of up to a week in length with 2-3 destinations. The planning fee for a two week trip will generally run about $800-1000, depending on the number of stops in your itinerary. The final product, a detailed written itinerary, will include suggestions for sightseeing and activities in each location based on your interests; if you'd like more structure, we also offer the option of adding a personalized "Suggested Daily Itinerary" to your final written itinerary, which will add about another hour of planning time per week of your trip.

The minimum fee is due when you return your completed Planning Questionnaire to us to start the planning process. You will be invoiced for any additional time at the time of your trip.

Our full itinerary service generally requires lead time of at least 3 months for trips that start May through September. Shorter lead time 2-3 months is possible in the off season. Please send an email if you're not sure you have enough lead time for your trip prior to completing the planning questionnaire.

TELEPHONE OR EMAIL CONSULTATIONS

NOTE: This service is currently unavailable until June 1, 2024

If you’ve already planned most of your itinerary, but want a bit of extra assurance that you've made the right decisions on where to go, where to stay, etc., we offer consultations by phone or email. The minimum fee is $99 for 30 minutes, with additional time at $35 per 15-minute increment.

Email us your proposed itinerary with as much detail about who you are and what you are looking for as possible. The more information we have about you, the better we will be able to assess whether the itinerary you've designed will meet your needs. Also, more information up front will enable us to be more efficient in advising you. We’ll contact you to set up a time for your phone consultation (or it can be done by email if that’s more convenient for you, although generally phone consultations are more time-efficient).

CANCELLATION POLICY
Our fees are nonrefundable once your final itinerary has been completed. If you need to cancel your trip before we have finished work on your final itinerary, we will refund our minimum fee, minus the fees for time already spent working on your trip.

Cancellation policies for the accommodations we book for you will vary. We will advise you of these cancellation policies in your final itinerary. Once reservations have been made, you are responsible for cancelling any accommodations booked for you (in most cases, payment will be guaranteed by your credit card). If you would like us to take care of cancellations for you, we would be happy to assist you at our applicable hourly rate. We strongly suggest that you consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance.
