Picture this: Your bags are packed, and you're ready for adventure. Your mind is resting easy, knowing that each detail has been thoughtfully arranged from the moment you leave home until you return again.
Modern-day travel is a curated experience that goes beyond simply booking a flight and hotel. Our goal is to truly get to know you and understand how we can take your trip from great to truly extraordinary.
Whether it's a personal driver, special moments, or the freedom to explore, we craft a seamless experience from start to finish… all while you sit back and enjoy the journey.
Imagine if all you had to do was pack...
Are you tired of the DIY travel planning grind? Hours lost in the Google rabbit hole, the weight of decision fatigue, and the sting of disappointing experiences – does this sound all too familiar? If so… it's time to bid farewell to the DIY approach.
We get it, handing over the reins to someone else can feel downright scary when you’re used to doing it all yourself. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, so you can rest easy knowing you’re still involved in the planning process every step of the way. The difference? A pro to help you cut through all the noise and help you discover the experiences that really matter.
It’s time to say goodbye to DIY.

"Lina helped us plan our bucket list trip to Kauai & made it a dream come true."
She made the entire process smooth & so enjoyable. She even provided several little touches throughout our trip that only she could provide. We knew she had our back throughout & even took care of a flight delay while we were in the air to assure smooth travel back home. I will never travel without Go Wander Travel! Lina…thank you for making our trip spectacular & taking care of every little detail. You are amazing!

"We just returned from a 12 day trip to Iceland in celebration of our 10 year Anniversary planned and booked by Lina."
It was absolutely perfect and I have no doubt we will be reaching out to her to plan our next trip as well. Thank you so much Lina! Your help, guidance, advice, and support were absolutely invaluable.

"After a recommendation from a friend, we reached out to Lina to see what she could do for us."
We were planning a family trip to Norway but weren't sure where to begin. She exceeded our expectations. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable trips because of her services. Everything went so smoothly. Would certainly recommend her for any adventures you are planning.

Lina was able to do it all. The planning, scheduling, booking and many other things we didn’t even think about. Everything was so smooth and easy. We were able to truly relax and enjoy all the incredible experiences without any stress or worry. Wow! We would definitely recommend Lina for any travel you can dream up.

"I was apprehensive at first working with a travel agent. Working with Lina was great!!"
She allowed me to be as involved as I wanted. We both took suggestions from each other about options for my solo trip. She is very thorough, kind, trustworthy (a must!) and was a joy to work with. I would recommend her, and will definitely utilize Go Wander Travel Co. again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions:
When should I start planning my trip?
We recommend planning at least 6-9 months in advance for most destinations and 9-12 months in advance for bucket-list trips. This ensures best availability and pricing, and it allows us to curate an exceptional and seamless experience.
Can you accommodate last-minute trip requests?
While we strive to accommodate our clients' needs, trip requests made less than 30 days prior to departure cannot be accommodated. For trip requests within 30-90 days, accommodation is subject to availability and may incur an expedited planning fee. It's always best to plan ahead for the most enjoyable and stress-free experience.
What is the average starting investment for itineraries with Go Wander Travel Co.?
Most of our itineraries begin with an investment of approximately $1,200 - $1,500 per day. Keep in mind that this average cost varies based on factors such as the destination, time of year, number of travelers, and overall itinerary complexity.
What type of hotels and travel partners does Go Wander Travel Co. work with?
Go Wander Travel Co. is proud to have established professional relationships with 4 and 5-star hotels, as well as luxury travel partners globally. These relationships ensure that every accommodation and experience is personally vetted.
Are there any additional perks or benefits when booking through Go Wander Travel Co.?
Certainly! Through our partnership with Virtuoso, you gain access to exclusive luxury perks like room upgrades, hotel and spa credits, daily breakfast, and personalized welcome amenities, enhancing your travel experience.
Are you paid a commission? Does the commission add to the cost of the trip?
Travel advisors are paid on a fee + commission basis. The fee is to compensate for the significant amount of time dedicated to planning your trip, whereas the commission is a small percentage from the travel supplier that is issued only after you have completed your travel with us. The commission is a standard industry practice where travel advisors, like us, receive a thank-you fee from travel partners for bringing them business. Whether you book directly with a hotel or through us, the cost remains the same. Our commitment is to ensure you receive the best value and experience for your investment.
What are the travel planning fees for Go Wander Travel Co.?
Fees start at $350 for standard vacation packages, $500+ for custom-crafted itineraries, and $125 - $200+ per person for small groups.
Can I use points or miles for airfare?
The use of miles/points for airfare specifically is always encouraged and definitely the way for you to get the most "bang for your buck" for those hard-earned loyalty points. We will still research air options on your behalf, you will just need to confirm the booking on your own and forward us the confirmation to ensure a seamless experience with the multiple components of your trip.
Can I use points or miles for hotels?
Using points for hotels is examined on a case-by-case basis and will incur a 10% service fee in order to account for the commission loss for the travel advisor.
Can Go Wander Travel Co. assist with booking Airbnb accommodations?
We cannot assist with Airbnb specifically due to third-party booking restrictions and being unable to ensure quality. We do, however, have access to other vacation-home properties and villas through our vetted partners.
Do you provide a detailed, line-item breakdown of pricing for my trip?
In most cases, we are unable to provide line-item pricing and instead will typically provide one complete price for your trip. Due to confidential supplier contracts, we are often not permitted to provide pricing for individual components.
Do I really need travel insurance?
Purchasing travel insurance is optional, however it is always strongly recommended. Even if your trip isn't canceled, there are still many scenarios in which travel insurance can be especially helpful, including travel delays, illness, and injury. Protecting your investment ensures you can travel with peace of mind.
