We’re more than just planners—we’re your personal travel expert, crafting journeys that reflect your unique preferences and passions. Our deep-rooted global network includes hoteliers, lodges, tour operators, and local insiders, allowing us to curate experiences tailored precisely to how you want to travel.

VIP Benefits and Exclusive Perks

Our clients enjoy exceptional VIP treatment at our luxury hotel partners, with added perks like daily breakfast, room upgrades, and a $100 hotel credit. Thanks to our valued partnerships, your bookings receive priority VIP status—often ahead of those made through credit card companies or online platforms.

  • How you and your travel companions like to travel

  • Your travel history

  • Additional interests that can be woven into your trip: viticulture, gastronomy, adventure experiences, etc.

  • Our planning services and what aligns best with your travel needs

The fun part! Depending upon your trip needs, we will collaborate on the perfect itinerary for your trip, based on your timeframe, priorities, and budget.

Once the proposal is approved, we'll make all necessary reservations. You’ll receive all confirmations along with a complete digital itinerary

03. Proposal & Confirmation Process

Together, we'll ensure every aspect of your journey is carefully crafted to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

7-10 days prior to your departure, you will receive a final digital itinerary to take with you on your travels.

Frequently asked questions

  • No, it doesn’t! Samantha Rose Travel is compensated directly by our travel partners, so you pay the same rate whether booking directly or through us.

    Currently, we do not charge planning fees for our Fully Customized Itinerary service. We only ask that, once we reach the proposal stage, you are committed to moving forward with booking to honor our partnership and the time invested in creating your personalized experience.

  • If you’re interested in flight booking assistance, our SmartFlyer Air Team offers personalized support for a $100 per person fee. We provide expert guidance to help you select the most convenient and comfortable flights, and include 24/7 client support to handle any changes or cancellations—so you can say goodbye to endless hold times and airline frustration.

  • Item descriptionUnfortunately at this time, we are not able to book flights, hotels or touring using miles or points. If you would like to book using miles, we suggest you handle booking flights on your own to free up budget for the rest of the trip.

    We can however, attach any loyalty numbers to your flight tickets or hotel bookings when possible so that you still accrue points.
