Pricing & What’s Included FAQs

What a WAC itinerary covers, what it doesn’t, and how quotes are built.

Understanding what you’re paying for

Luxury travel pricing can feel opaque from the outside. Here’s how we break it down so you know exactly what a quote covers.

What’s Included

4 QUESTIONS

What’s typically included in a WAC itinerary price?

Accommodations, breakfast, private transfers, guided excursions and experiences specified in your itinerary, and the design and coordination work of your travel designer throughout.

Are flights included in the price?

International flights are booked separately from your itinerary price. We book business and premium class flights directly, usually arranged at the same time as your deposit, while economy fares are booked by you directly with the airline once we’ve pointed you toward the best options. We coordinate arrival timing regardless of how flights are booked.

Does the price include meals?

Breakfast is included. You’re typically on your own for lunch and dinner, unless there’s a cooking class or a food tour that includes a meal.

Is trip design and planning time itself part of the cost?

Yes, particularly for bespoke trips. The time your travel designer spends designing, refining, and coordinating your itinerary is part of the value, not a separate line item.

What’s Not Included

4 QUESTIONS

What’s usually excluded from a quoted price?

International flights, travel insurance, personal spending, and any experiences outside what’s specifically listed in your itinerary.

Are gratuities included?

Generally not, and we’ll give you clear guidance on tipping norms for your specific destination so there are no surprises.

Do we need to budget separately for travel insurance?

Yes, we recommend it for every trip, but it’s not included in the price.

Are visa fees included in the price?

No, visa fees, where applicable, are the traveler’s responsibility, though we’ll tell you clearly what’s required for your specific itinerary.

Signature vs. Bespoke Pricing

4 QUESTIONS

How is a signature itinerary priced compared to a bespoke trip?

Signature itineraries have an established starting price based on the fixed itinerary. Bespoke trips are quoted individually, starting at approximately $20,000 per group, and scale with destination, length, and access.

Why does bespoke typically cost more than a signature itinerary?

It reflects the additional design time, direct access to private guides and authentic experiences, and a fully custom day-by-day plan built specifically for you.

Can we see a sample cost breakdown before committing?

Yes, we’re happy to walk through a detailed cost breakdown once we understand your destination, dates, and group size.

Does group size change the per-person price?

Yes, the price differs depending on the number of travelers. Multiples of six typically have the lowest prices, since six people fit nicely in a minivan.
