Most of my fees are paid by the hotel, vendor or service provider. You'll pay no more (and often less) than rates you'll find online or directly. In addition, I may charge a research and planning fee as a one-off or, if you're a regular traveler who prefers a concierge service then let's chat about a subscription service and whether that makes sense for you .
Booking through a Virtuoso agent means complimentary benefits that you'd otherwise miss. While these vary by property, they may include breakfast, drinks, spa treatments or room upgrades. Let me guide you based on the interests you have, to enjoy an upgraded experience on your travels.
