What is Tailor Made Travel?

  

Tailor made means: made-to-order, bespoke, custom-made.

A tailor made holiday and travel service is like a personal planning service. You tell us what you want (either in detail, or give us some parameters to work within), and then we arrange services to fit your wishes for your holiday, or advise you on improvements which we think you may want to consider.

 

When you initially contact us, this is what we do:

1. We take some basic information such as name and contact details.
2. If you have requested any specific information this will be sent out to you in the appropriate way.
3. We would appreciate knowing how you heard of us so that we can work out which of our marketing sources are working for us. 
4. We will put you on our database, so that we can follow up on your request. No other company has access to our data.

 

When we begin to plan things with you:

1. As soon as possible, we will endeavour to hone down your requirements so that we can make you a suggested itinerary to consider.  This will usually come with a costing at this stage.
2. We usually advise that we take your names as in passports so that we can hold a suitable flight on option for you –with no obligation to you.  The reason for this is that flights are increasingly difficult to get to many places, and the sooner you hold a seat, the cheaper the price usually is.
3. We then work with you to fine tune the itinerary you’ve been sent. Anything can be amended at this point –length, accommodation, date, services ...  and this will in turn affect the price. Simply talk with us and we will try to get as close as possible to what you really want.
4. As we get closer to what you want, it is likely that we will need to reserve the services you are requesting so that we know that they are available should you decide to book. 

 

When you book with us:

1. Once the itinerary is agreed we will ask you to read our booking conditions, complete a booking form and send us a deposit.  Full payment may be needed if it is 10 weeks or less before your holiday starts.
2. On receipt of the form and deposit, we will book the services you have agreed. If anything is not available, we will keep you informed and help you decide on your options at this point. 
3. Once we’ve confirmed back to you, your deposit is non-refundable and non-transferrable. 
4. If not already arranged, we advise that you buy insurance at this stage.  Insurance is obligatory on our holidays, though you don’t have to buy our policy.
5. You will get full booking pack with lots of details about your holiday.
6. You can call us for help any time before you go.
7. Any final details will be sent to you a week or two before you go.
