Together We Roam provides full-service travel planning, including accommodations, flights when needed, transportation, custom itineraries, group travel coordination, cruises, all-inclusive vacations, and curated travel experiences.

How do I get started?

You can get started by completing the travel inquiry form or scheduling a consultation. This helps us learn more about your destination, travel dates, budget, travel style, and overall vision.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking:

1–3 months in advance for domestic travel
3–6+ months in advance for international travel
6–12 months in advance for peak seasons, holidays, destination celebrations, or large group trips

The earlier you book, the better your options may be for pricing, availability, and payment flexibility.

Yes, we can assist with last-minute travel when possible. However, availability may be limited, prices may be higher, and payment may be due in full depending on the supplier or travel dates.

Can you work within my budget?

Yes. We tailor travel options based on your budget while helping you maximize value, comfort, and overall experience.

Consultation Fees

Do you charge a planning fee?

Yes. Together We Roam may charge a planning or consultation fee depending on the complexity of your trip. This fee allows us to provide dedicated research, personalized recommendations, itinerary support, and professional guidance throughout the planning process.

Why is there a consultation or planning fee?

Planning fees help protect the time spent researching, comparing options, coordinating details, and creating a travel experience that fits your needs. Your trip is carefully planned with your preferences, budget, and travel style in mind.

Payment Plans

Do you offer payment plans?

Some travel packages, cruises, resorts, and group trips may be eligible for payment plans. Payment options depend on the supplier, trip type, travel dates, deposit requirements, and final payment deadlines.

Is my trip confirmed after I submit an inquiry?

No. Completing an inquiry form does not confirm your trip. Your trip is only confirmed once availability is verified and the required deposit or payment has been made.

Prices and availability are not guaranteed until your booking is confirmed with payment. Travel prices can change quickly based on availability, supplier rules, and demand.

Quotes are time-sensitive and may change at any time based on availability, demand, airfare, resort pricing, cruise pricing, and supplier rules.

Can you match a price I found online?

We can review the option you found, but pricing, inclusions, cancellation terms, room types, and support may differ. The lowest price is not always the best value.

Deposits & Final Payments

Is a deposit required?

Most trips require a deposit to secure your booking. Deposit amounts vary based on the supplier, destination, package, or group trip.

When is final payment due?

Final payment dates vary by supplier and will be shared during the booking process. Missing a final payment deadline may result in cancellation or loss of deposit.

Will I receive payment reminders?

Together We Roam may provide reminders when possible, but clients are responsible for making payments by the required deadline.
