What is included in the trip cost, and what is typically not included?
For Private Journeys, we confirm exactly what is included, such as guides, transfers, accommodations, sightseeing, and meals, in your final itinerary.
How much does a Private Journey cost, and how do payments work?
Pricing varies based on where you go, when you travel, how many people are in your party, your accommodation preferences, and the experiences you want to include. We will design around your priorities and budget, then confirm pricing once the itinerary is finalized.
For land tours, a typical payment structure includes $1000 per person deposit to confirm, an interim payment of 25% due 15 days after all services are confirmed, and final balance due at 90 days prior to travel.

How far in advance should a Private Journey be planned?
Ideally, custom group trips are planned several months to a year in advance, especially for complex itineraries, peak seasons, or groups requiring specific educational components.
Early planning improves access to preferred accommodations, expert guides, and special visits that have limited capacity.
