FAQs
Do you charge any fees? How do you get paid?
Yes, we charge planning fees based on the scope and nature of your trip. Our single-destination research and planning fees start at $99 and may increase depending on the complexity of your trip. This fee reflects our expertise in matching your needs to the best options, and includes access to our extensive network, ongoing education, and firsthand travel insights. As a thank-you to our returning clients, those booking in 2024 or 2025 will receive a 50% discount on our fees.
For trips with multiple destinations—like European tours or road trips—our planning fees start at $247. This fee accounts for the additional time required to design and arrange a seamless multi-destination itinerary.
Already know the exact hotel, cruise, or package you want to book? If you’re simply looking to support a local business rather than an online travel agency, we’ll gladly waive our planning fees for you.
When you book with us, we ask that you agree to a minimum $100 cancellation fee. This covers our time and services in case of a cancellation where no commission is earned. Supporting your trip takes time and dedication, and this small fee ensures we’re compensated for that effort.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I make payments?
Absolutely! For trips at least 90 days away, you can make an initial deposit and then conveniently pay in installments. This is just one of the many benefits of booking with a travel professional.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn’t I just book on my own?
Yes, you could. But by booking online, you choose that site as your “travel agent”—usually with limited support. When you book with us, you gain a real person to call and email, backed by professional associations, specialized training, and the assurance of white-glove service. We view you as more than just a transaction, and our goal is to create a stress-free, exceptional travel experience.

KIND WORDS FROM MY LOVELY CLIENTS
Nicole helped us plan a trip to Yellowstone last year and Disneyland this year. Both trips had many scheduling changes that needed to be made. She took care of everything and was always quick to respond. We will definitely use Nicole for our future trips.
Nicole Pate of Dream It, See It Travel planned my family's summer vacation to Disney World and Universal Studios. Because of her organization, tips, and expertise, the entire experience was easy and SO FUN for us. Nicole planned the entire trip - park tickets, meal reservations, etc. all based on our specific preferences, and she taught me how to use the apps and services we paid for to make the most of our trip. It could not have been better! I will definitely use Nicole and Dream It, See It Travel for our future trips.

We had a fabulous time on our first European vacay! Being a cruise, this experience was new to us as well and we weren’t disappointed. We enjoyed being able to journey to new places every few days and never have to pack and unpack. Then after a full day of adventure, we could go back and enjoy food, music and rest. The balcony is a must and was really worth it.
The ship sailed smooth and we never really new we were at sea. What a blessing! Thank you so much for helping us with this vacation and we will be in touch again!
Our new addiction of cruising begins!
