A MASTERCLASS IN PLANNING
Make Your Vacation Awesome!
Everything you need to make your once-in-a-lifetime vacation into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
GOODBYE OVERWHELMING STRESS
Wow! Planning a Trip is VERY COMPLICATED!
Let’s face it, once-in-a-lifetime trips are a BIG DEAL and the last thing you want to do is to spend all this money on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation only to return home and feel like you didn’t have that once-in-a-lifetime experience you really wanted.
We get it! Planning a trip is no small feat. On average, people spend over 70 hours on research for vacations.
With 50 tabs open, spreadsheets galore and binge watching hundreds of YouTube videos to learn all you can before you arrive. Sound familiar?
Even worse, is that after all the research, 80% of people still spend the first few days of their vacation … still planning their vacation!

MATH FOR THE WIN
Let's Talk Opportunity Cost
Are you a numbers person? Let's do a little math to show how an Awesome Guide is worth way more than it costs.
Round-trip flight: ~$650
Nightly hotel rate: ~$345
Nightly parking: ~$50
Taxi from Airport: ~$75
Let's assume 2 travelers and 5 nights ...
Flights: $650 x 2 = $1,300
Hotels: $345 x 5 = $1,725
Parking: $50 x 5 = $250
Taxi: $75 x 2 = $150
Total: $3,425
Let's assume you spend 8 hours a day for 5 days exploring your destination.
That's $85 per hour on vacation
On average people spend ~3 hours a day planning their vacation while they are on their vacation (we know it's cray cray!)
Our guide will save you at least two hours per day of unnecessary last-minute vacation planning.
2 hrs/day saved = $171
Multiplied by 5 days = $856
Paying $39.99 to save up to 10 hours of your vacation days and the equivalent of $856? That's a 21x ROI
Uh, yeah! That's a no brainer!
And that is just to get you there and back, you haven't even done anything yet!
An Awesome Guide doesn't just save you a ton in vacation planning time, but they also save you on actual vacation activities by providing insights so you can book ahead and know when to go to avoid the crowds.
