FAQ's
Do I have to book an entire group for a trip?
No. We plan solo travel, couples' getaways, and small groups. Whether you're traveling alone or with 40 friends, we scale to meet your needs.
Do you offer travel planning for domestic destinations too?
Yes! While our specialty is international travel, we also plan destination events and experiences across the U.S. upon request.
What is your typical planning fee?
Our planning fee varies based on trip complexity, group size, and lead time. We provide transparent pricing after your discovery consultation.
Can you help us plan excursions and activities in addition to flights and lodging?
Absolutely. We handle everything from private wine tastings and chef’s tables to yacht rentals, guided city tours, and wellness activities.
Can you accommodate dietary, accessibility, or cultural needs?
Yes. We pride ourselves on inclusive planning and can accommodate a wide range of dietary, mobility, language, or religious considerations.
Do you offer on-site staff for large trips or events?
Yes, for destination weddings, retreats, and large group trips, we can provide on-site coordinators to manage logistics and ensure a seamless experience.
How far in advance should I start planning my trip?
For custom trips, we recommend starting at least 6–9 months in advance. For group travel and high-demand destinations, 12–18 months ahead is ideal.
Can you help with travel insurance?

Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Many of our trips offer flexible payment options, especially for group travel. We’ll outline the schedule clearly before you commit.
What destinations do you specialize in?
We curate trips around the globe, including Europe, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, South America, and North America. If it’s on your bucket list, we’ll help you check it off.
Are flights included in the planning?
We can assist with flights as part of a full-service package. For group travel, we often negotiate group air rates or recommend the best flight options based on your departure city.
Can I book my own flights and still use your service?
Of course. Some clients prefer to book their own flights using points or miles. We're happy to coordinate around your arrangements.
Do you only work with luxury travelers?
Not at all. While we specialize in curated, high-quality experiences, we can design trips across a range of budgets and travel styles—from boutique to five-star.
Can you plan themed trips or celebrations (birthdays, graduations, etc.)?
Yes! We love building trips around meaningful milestones, whether it's a 40th birthday in Bali, a graduation trip through Europe, or a romantic vow renewal in Greece.
Do you offer custom itineraries or only pre-set packages?
All our itineraries are custom. We take the time to understand your vision and create a unique trip that fits your goals, group, and budget.
What’s the difference between working with Reid Rodell Experiences and booking online?
We provide personalized service, insider access, curated experiences, and logistical support that online booking platforms can’t match. Plus, we’re here before, during, and after your trip.
