What does the trip planning process like?

- Typically, we begin planning influencer trips about 9–12 months ahead of your chosen departure date. We are flexible, though, so we’ll do our best to accommodate shortened or extended timelines. - If you have a preferred itinerary but want to make some changes to it, let us know! We regularly work with travel bloggers and content creators to customize itineraries. For more details, visit [this page](/groups/private-custom-tours).

Where will my group and I stay?

- You and your influencer travel group will stay in hotels that strike a just-right balance between comfort, cleanliness, location, and local charm. (We vet each place before booking it.) While specific accommodations may vary between departures, you can preview frequently used hotels right on the tour’s webpage.

Who will lead my trip?

- While you’ll technically host your influencer trip, you and your group will be led by an expert Tour Director. These local guides take care of all trip logistics: attractions, transportation, you name it. They’re also intimately familiar with the regions you’ll visit, so you and your followers can explore new territory together.

- Yes! As a travel content creator, your spot is free when you recruit 14 or more people. You’re only responsible for nonincluded meals and whatever you choose to do in your free time.

Can I bring someone on my trip?

- Depending on how many people you recruit, you can bring a plus-one on your influencer trip free of charge. Reach out to one of our experts for the specifics.

awesome) mobile app

Our app offers travelers an easy way to connect with the whole group while maintaining their privacy. Travelers can message each other and their Tour Director, view their itinerary and hotels, and share photos from the trip.

A personalized tour
page for your trip

To help spread the word about your tour, we’ll create a personalized tour page for you to share on your platform, and for your followers to share with friends. And it’s private, so you won’t have to worry about competition from other influencers.
