I'm not a teenager – Why should Travel for Teens organize a custom trip for me?

In addition to leading the best teen travel programs in the world, we also organize custom-built trips for private clients of all ages. Drawing upon our extensive knowledge of the regions that we visit (including Europe, South Africa, Thailand, Australia & New Zealand, and Fiji), we will work with you to customize your trip of a lifetime. The advantages of working with us to organize your trip are many – you'll get insider access to sights, events, and people that you would never have known about. Our personal service is unparalleled—we can plan any and every detail of your trip, and our prices can't be beat.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like to speak to some of our previous clients.

What does it cost to plan a private trip?

Our custom trips are an incredible value. We offer you a half-hour free consultation so that you can learn about what we are able to do for you. After this consultation if you decide you’d like us to plan your trip, we ask for a deposit of $500 so that we may begin making reservations and doing research for you. Our rate is a mere $40/hour. On average, a ten-day trip for a family of four requires between 10-15 hours of planning time.

How much control do I have over the planning of the trip?

It's very simple - you have as much or as little control as you want to have over the planning of your trip. Our task is to listen to what you would like us to do. For example, if you only know that you want a great vacation in Italy, we'll create your entire itinerary including hotels, restaurants, sights, ticket reservations, and country-specific tips and suggestions.

On the other hand, if you know that you want to spend 3 nights in Rome, 2 nights in a Tuscan B&B, and 3 nights in Bologna and you already have your hotels picked out, that's great too. We'll work with you to fill in the blanks.

In which countries can I count on your expert advice?

Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and South Africa, among others!

Who plans my trip?

It all depends on where you want to go! Each member of our staff specializes in a different area of the world. We will assign a team to your project with a trip designer as the lead person. The person who will plan your trip will have spent a significant amount of time in your destination and therefore can give you firsthand advice.

Can I contact you during my trip?

Of course – you can give us a call any time day or night. You will have the personal contact number for your trip designer, in addition to the following numbers:

Toll Free: 888-457-4534
From outside the US: +1 484-802-7515

or e-mail us at info@travelforteens.com

Do you get special rates at hotels?

Given our continuing collaboration with a wide variety of accommodations in many different countries, we often enjoy (and pass on to you) discounted rates for our clients.

Can I contact people who have gone on your custom trips in the past?

Of course - we'd be happy to provide you with a list of references.

Should I purchase travel insurance?

Considering its relatively low cost, we STRONGLY recommend that you purchase traveler's insurance for protection against trip cancellation due to medical/family emergencies, strikes and flight cancellations, lost baggage situations, full medical coverage abroad, and more. We have found TravMark Insurance to be one company that is sometimes a good choice. Please contact us for more details.
