Travel by Design
Travel by Design: bespoke journeys through Japan and France
Designed around you, by people who know these places well
Sometimes you want every detail taken care of. Sometimes you may love researching and booking parts of a trip yourself. Maison V works with both.
We plan for Japan, France and select destinations: Italy, Portugal, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
We begin with a conversation about how you travel: the places you love, your previous experiences, accommodation preferences, pace, interests, budget and the practicalities that matter.
We also consider your existing travel portfolio, hotel status, points, memberships and other relevant benefits, so that recommendations take account of what you already have.
The model
By us. By you. And, together.
You may want us to design the entire journey, or simply help with the parts where our knowledge and relationships make the greatest difference. We consider your preferences, existing travel benefits, points and status, then agree the right division of responsibilities to fit your travel and experiential preferences.
By you
Elements you enjoy managing, bookings where your own points or benefits make better sense, and arrangements you prefer to retain or where the customer experience is more seamless in your hands.
Together
We agree who handles each component, what the planning fee includes, which arrangements Maison V can book, and where the best overall value and experience lie.
Travel design fees
Transparent pricing, agreed before we begin.
Fees reflect planning effort and agreed scope, not simply trip length. We confirm the proposed fee and deliverables before beginning. Travel purchases are separate.
