Special Luxury Travel can book partial components of your trip; however, we do what we do best when we are able to book the hotels and touring components together. It allows you to have seamless and stress-free travel experience.

A number of factors determine the amount of time it takes to plan a trip from the initial discovery call to booking the last component, including: how far in advance of the trip you’ve contacted us; the complexity of the itinerary; how many suppliers we are coordinating with across the globe; and any changes you decide you’d like to make to the initial proposal. We strive to partner with local companies to enhance your experience, though this can occasionally lead to delays in finalizing the itinerary due to time differences, local holidays, or destination demand. Because of our strong relationships with suppliers, we are fortunate that they prioritize our clients' requests.

Sometimes events out of our control may result in a planning delay (an emergency from a currently traveling client, for example). We ask for your understanding when the need to take more time arises.

Whenever possible, we provide a detailed cost breakdown in our proposals. However, many of the world’s top tour operators negotiate confidential wholesale rates with their guides and suppliers, and are contractually unable to disclose itemized costs for custom itineraries. While our partners collaborate closely with us to adjust itineraries based on budget or desired travel pace, some are contractually prohibited from sharing specific negotiated rates for tours, drivers, or, in some cases, hotels.

We vet our suppliers thoroughly and only work with those whom we know are committed to negotiating fair prices for incredible experiences for our clients.
