Custom Travel Planning for Real Explorers

    • Personalized itinerary tailored to your interests and adventure level

    • Multiple daily activity options and backup plans

    • Dining suggestions based on your dietary preferences

    • Estimated costs for flights, lodging, rental car, activities, and meals

    • Verified links for everything — ready to book

    • Branded, formatted itinerary delivered to your inbox

  • When you book a custom itinerary with Not Your Typical Vacation, you get:

    • Personalized itinerary tailored to your interests, adventure level, and travel style

    • Destination guidance Not sure where to go? We’ll present three curated destination options based on your interests, with a sneak peek at activities in each. You choose your favorite, and we build your full itinerary from there.

    • Multiple daily activity options so you can choose your pace or mix and match

    • Dining suggestions based on your dietary preferences (if applicable), with verified links and close to your activities and/or accommodations

    • Estimated costs for flights, lodging, rental car (even fuel), activities, and meals — all within your budget

    • Flexible scheduling because we know travel doesn’t always go as planned. That’s why our itineraries include multiple daily options, backup plans, and conservative time estimates — so you can adapt on the fly without missing out.

    • Verified links for activities, restaurants, trails, and accommodations

    • Formatted itinerary ready to use, share, or print

    • Hours of research done for you — Each itinerary reflects 20+ hours of research you won’t have to do — plus years of global travel experience and insider knowledge that unlocks hidden gems most travelers never find.

  • To keep things simple, flexible, and unbiased, here’s what’s not part of the service:

    • Booking services (flights, lodging, rental cars, or activities) — but we provide trusted links and suggestions so you can book on your own timeline. This gives you full control and flexibility, without the pressure or upselling that often comes with traditional travel agents

    • Commission-based recommendations — we don’t earn money from any vendors, so our suggestions are 100% based on what’s best for you

    • Pre-packaged travel or generic group tours — while we may recommend guided activities when they enhance your experience, every itinerary is custom-built and never one-size-fits-all

    • Real-time travel support — At this time we are unable to offer live travel assistance or concierge services — but your itinerary is designed to be self-guided, flexible, and easy to follow, with everything you need at your fingertips.

    • Travel insurance or visa assistance — we recommend checking with your provider or local resources for these needs
