travel planning services

 Each escape is unique.

Whether it is a luxurious getaway, unique staycation, or off-the-beaten path escapade, Andante Escapes specializes in making your dream trip a reality.

The Process

  • Fill out my contact form with as much info as you can about your next trip. This will give me a baseline understanding of where you are within the trip planning process!

    Not ready to plan, but want to join my email list to be the first to know about promotional offers, trends, and travel inspiration? Sign up for the email list Here

  • After collecting the basic information needed about your desired trip, we will hop on a quick, free, no-commitment phone call so that I can ask targeted questions that will help me match you to the trip of your dreams!

  • After learning about your vacation goals, I will produce a free quote for you. The quote most often is a document that provides three lodging or cruise options that fit your needs, budget, and travel personality. Plus, if your matched properties are eligible for any VIP for Free perks, I’ll let you know at this time!

  • Once you have determined which lodging or cruise itinerary you would like, Andante Escapes will complete the booking on your behalf! You will have Crystal in your corner from conceptualization to arrival home to support you with your cruise or lodging booking. Remember, booking your lodging or cruise through Andante Escapes is free to you! (How? Check out this blog post)

    Pop that champagne, tell your friends and family - your next getaway has been booked! If you only wanted help booking your cruise or hotel, the process can stop here.

  • If you want assistance with your trip that goes beyond the lodging booking, Crystal’s got you covered!

    Want a comprehensive itinerary designed for you, with relevant tours, restaurant reservations, and ground transportation booked on your behalf? For a true vacation from vacation-planning, you may want to add on The Truest Escape Package at this time.

    Want a custom destination guide document that will introduce you to trip practicalities, insider recommendations, and personalized research? For a destination guide add-on that orients you to your destination without building a day-by-day itinerary, you may want to add on The Flexible Escape Package at this time.

  • be a vip for free

    Yes, I said free! If you are planning a trip with one of Andante Escapes’ preferred travel partners, Crystal can get you perks (think: complimentary breakfast, welcome amenities, early/late checkout, and upgrades when available) - for the same cost to you if you booked directly. I may be able to add perks to trips you’ve already booked!
