FAQ

How early should we start planning?

For groups, 2 to 4 weeks ahead usually gives enough room for coordination.

What if budget differs a lot?

Set budget tiers early and remove options outside the shared comfort zone.

Do we need a long itinerary?

Not necessarily. A short clear plan is often more realistic.
