What Makes a No-Book Travel Planning Service Better Than a Traditional Travel Agent?

Tailored Travel, Crafted Just for You

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all travel planning. Every itinerary I design is created from the ground up to reflect your interests, pace, and style. The result is a seamless, beautifully organised itinerary delivered straight to your inbox, curated entirely for you.

Unlike traditional travel agents, I don’t work on commission and am not tied to specific companies or suppliers. This means every recommendation is made with your best experience in mind. I travel regularly and have become an expert at finding exceptional value, uncovering hidden gems, and creating memorable journeys that stay within budget without compromising on quality or comfort.

Hiring a travel planner should feel like an investment in your experience, not an extra cost. My service is designed to save you time, remove stress, and ensure your trip is as effortless as it is extraordinary.

Fast, Focused, and Always Responsive

With years of experience and a deep understanding of Spain, I know exactly where to look and how to plan efficiently. While crafting the perfect itinerary takes time and care, you can always count on me to be prompt, organised, and communicative throughout the process.

You’ll receive your initial proposal within a few days of our video call, and once you’ve shared your feedback, I’ll refine and finalise your itinerary as quickly as possible. I stay responsive at every stage so you’re never left waiting or wondering where things stand.

Planning your dream trip should feel effortless, and I make sure every step of the process runs smoothly and on time.

Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Costs

I believe in complete transparency from the very start. The price you see is the total cost of my service with no commissions, no markups, and no surprise fees later on.

Because I do not work on commission or rely on specific suppliers, I have the freedom to design itineraries that genuinely fit you. Every recommendation is made with your best interests in mind, not a company’s bottom line.

You will always know exactly what you are paying for and can trust that every element of your trip has been chosen to match your style, preferences, and budget perfectly.

Authentic, First-Hand Knowledge of Spain

Not every travel agent truly travels. Many rely on online research or second-hand information.

I’ve taken over 34 trips across Spain and explored all 17 autonomous communities. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I make it my mission to uncover the most authentic and unforgettable experiences. I travel to Spain regularly to keep my knowledge fresh and stay up to date with current travel trends.

From the dramatic cliffs of Galicia to the golden plains of Castilla-La Mancha and the sun-soaked coastlines of Andalusia, I’ve immersed myself in Spain’s incredible diversity. I’ve wandered through bustling cities and sleepy villages, joined local fiestas that last until dawn, and tasted my way through every region’s signature dishes. I know Spain’s rhythm, warmth, and wild energy because I’ve lived it.

That first-hand and continually updated experience allows me to craft travel plans that go far beyond the obvious, revealing the real Spain that most visitors never get to see.

Personal Attention, Every Step of the Way

You’ll never be left waiting for a response or wondering if I’ve forgotten about you. Because I work with clients all over the world, you can usually expect a same-day reply, even if you’re already travelling.

I make it a priority to answer every question, address every concern, and bring your dream trip to life. I like to start the planning process with a video call to get to the heart of what you want your Spain trip to look like and to understand your travel style.

Every itinerary I create is designed around you. I focus on the details that matter most to your experience, not on standard checklists or generic travel guides. My itineraries aren’t off-the-shelf or pre-built; they’re bespoke journeys crafted to fit you perfectly.

Seamless Planning, Down to the Finest Detail

I know travel planning can be incredibly stressful and so offer a range of itinerary options to provide you with a seamless travel experience. Each itinerary I create includes:

A full travel timeline and detailed hour-by-hour daily plans, meaning you make the most of your time in Spain.

Hotel & restaurant recommendations, curated from my own travels. Most of the restaurants I have personally eaten at myself whilst the rest are recommended through thorough research.

A complete cost breakdown, showing how I’ve kept within your budget. I won’t ever exceed your set budget as I don’t want you to worry about money on the trip.

A personalised downloadable Google Map, meaning every recommendation can be found instantly. No more frantically searching Google to find your next stop.

Tailored pre-travel support with in-depth cultural insights, personalised preparation advice, and expert tips for a safe and effortless journey.
