Why Use a No-Book Travel Planning Service Over a Traditional Travel Agent?
100% Tailor-Made Itineraries
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all trip planning service. Every journey we create is uniquely tailored from the ground up to match each traveler and their group’s interests, pace, and style. The result? A seamless, user-friendly itinerary delivered straight to your inbox – clear, organized, and designed just for you.
If you look at most pre-planned vacation packages, you’ll see prices easily into the thousands for each person in your group. But, we’ve planned countless adventure itineraries for extremely affordable pricing without sacrificing experience or comfort!
Just take it from us – we spent 9 days with our family and friends getting married in Alaska (one of the U.S.’ most expensive states) followed by a 2-week honeymoon adventuring around South Africa, all for less than $8k for two people staying at 3, 4, and 5-star safari lodges and visiting fancy wineries and vineyards. Enough said.
We’re Fast and Focused
As seasoned travelers, the act of researching and planning an ideal getaway takes us far less time than that of someone new to the world of adventure travel. Time is money, and we won’t waste either!
In most cases, we’ll provide our initial proposal to you within 72 hours of our phone or video call. Once you return your updates and change request to us, we often get the final proposal to you within 24-48 hours maximum.
We Don’t Tap Into Your Budget
No hidden fees, no agency commissions! You only pay for exactly what you need on your trip – we don’t charge any extra to ensure our vendors or host agencies make money off of you.
We charge a flat rate dependent on the length of your itinerary to ensure we get paid for the time we need to effectively plan and research your perfect trip, but that’s it!
Once you’ve paid Concannon Adventure Travel for our services, you won’t see a single other bill from us.
We’re Experienced Adventurers
Not all travel agents travel. Many agents gain insights on destinations solely via programs and online assistance from their agency. We’ve personally visited 40+ countries and 35+ U.S. states and are continuously planning more trips to stay updated on current travel trends and expand our cultural knowledge.
We’ve also gone cage diving with great white sharks in South Africa, hiked the world’s 2nd largest active volcano in the Galapagos Islands (it erupted just a few days later), hiked to Ama Dablam Base Camp, Everest Base Camp, and summited Kala Patthar in Nepal’s Himalayas, hiked the entire Salkantay and part of the Inca Trails in Peru, practiced archery with the world champion in Kyrgyzstan, went paragliding off Mont Blanc in the French Alps – you get the picture.
We’re true adventurers, and we’re committed to helping you with your next one.
Reliable Communication & Personalized Attention
We’re never going to ignore your email or forget to schedule a phone call with you. Since we work with clients worldwide, you can typically expect a same-day reply – even while you’re traveling!
We settle every question and concern you have and do our very best to bring your dream trip to life. In fact, we actually prefer to have video calls with our clients over phone calls since we learn so much more about you via body language!
We pay close attention to every detail of your trip and ensure we give you what YOU need, not just a generalized travel guide.
Extremely Detailed Proposals
Our itineraries are very comprehensive and are designed to provide you with a seamless travel experience. Each itinerary we create includes:
Detailed, hour-by-hour daily plans, ensuring you make the most of your trip.
Pros and cons for each day, allowing you to make informed decisions.
A complete cost breakdown, demonstrating how we’ve kept you within budget – we will never exceed your set budget because trips are generally less fun when you’re worried about your wallet!
A full travel timeline, covering every event from your departure to your return home.
Extensive pre-travel guidance, including detailed insight on cultural differences you can expect, preparation tips, any safety considerations you should be aware of, and our expert advice for a smooth journey.
