Why do I need a travel concierge?
You might think that travel agents are a thing of the past. However, the new breed of agents now functions as Travel Advisers. Rather than merely booking transactions or acting as order-takers, a travel adviser will work through vast amounts of information and helps you to make informed decisions.
- With our extensive travel experience and training we can offer you travel options and destinations that you might have not considered.
- Some itineraries are more complicated than others and involve a lot of planning - we make sure that everything will go without a hitch.
- Booking a trip often turns into a stress-filled nightmare as you bounce from one website to another in the pursuit of the perfect itinerary. With the immense amount of information out there, the average person spends 10-30+ hours travel planning. Wunderbar Travel saves you time by sifting through thousands of flight, hotel, rental car and recreation websites, making your ideal trip come to fruition. Carry on living life, saving the world, or just kicking back with a glass of rosé until it’s time to take off.
- Travelers realize that even after a trip is planned, things don’t always turn out exactly as expected. A flight is cancelled, a piece of luggage gets lost, a passport is pilfered or a grandchild falls ill with a high fever on foreign soil. When “stuff happens,” it is reassuring to have someone you can count on to resolve problems.
- How much does the trip cost? Are there hidden fees? Resort tax? Does the excursion include lunch? Should we purchase excursions in advance? Is all-inclusive a good deal? You may or may not know the answer to these questions but you can bet your travel agent does.
- We often have access to reduced rates and special perks to ensure your trip offers the most convenience and comfort possible. In addition we can book international reduced price airfare in economy, business and first class on most airlines.
How much does your service cost?
Wunderbar Travel's planning services are FREE of charge!
The only exception to this rule are flight-only bookings (you want nothing else, but a flight ticket), in which case we assess a $25.00 Service Fee per booking.

How much does the trip cost?
The trip cost can vary wildly and depends on the destination, your travel style, activities, time of the year and length of trip. Taking the family on a camping trip in a minivan will be much cheaper than flying with all of them to a resort in the Caribbean.
For an international trip including airfare, lodging and some activities you might want to calculate between $200-$350 per person/ per day. Again, the sky is the limit and it depends greatly on your personal preferences.
The easiest way to find out is by contacting Wunderbar Travel and get a quick quote for your dream vacation.

I want to go on a trip, what do i do next?
Great! You know that you want to travel and you might have an idea of what you would like to do or where you want to go. Let's chat about it! You can get in touch with us via email at info@wunderbartravel.com or you can give us a call.
In order to get started we would need to know approximate dates, trip length, dream destination(s) - if there are any or dream experiences, how many adults/ children are planning to go on the trip and if you have a budget in mind.
No worries if you don't have all the answers (yet) to those questions. We are happy to guide you through them and build you a customized itinerary.

How does the booking process work?
We will chat with you about your travel needs and present you with a proposal, which will contain all travel components, such as lodging, airfare, transportation and excursions. Once you are happy with that proposal, we are ready to book. In order to do so Wunderbar Travel will send you a credit card authorization form. You fill it in and once we have received all the info, we will place your booking(s) directly with the vendors. This means that Wunderbar Travel will make the bookings on your behalf and the vendor will charge your card directly - so you won't see any charges from Wunderbar Travel on your monthly statement.
As soon as everything has been booked and confirmed you will receive a confirmation email and receipts. We will also prepare a travel folder for you, which gets send with the snail mail, and contains all the information that you need for your travels.

When Do I pay for my trip?
This depends. Some of the components like airfare are due in full at the time of booking. Other travel components like hotels might be due a few days prior to the travel date or can be paid at the end of the stay. However, certain special fares might be instant purchases and will be charged in full at the time of placing the reservation.
Wunderbar Travel can advise you when we send your proposal as to when payments are going to be due.

What documents do I need to travel?
For domestic travel you will only need a government issued ID.
For international travel, including all cruises, you will need a passport that is at least valid for another 6 months beyond the travel dates and has at least 1-2 blank pages for possible visas and entry/ exit stamps.
Visas are required for travel to many countries. It is the responsibility of the traveler to inform themselves what visas are required and to obtain them. However, Wunderbar Travel works closely with a visa service and can help with guidance and obtaining the required visas.

Is My Trip cheaper if I book it with you?
Wunderbar Travel has a bit of leverage when it comes to relationship with the suppliers. Hence we sometimes can add in perks or get a small discount on hotels and cruises. Which means added value for you.
On many international flights, originating from the US, we can find you discounted fares in Economy, Business and First Class.
We are not trying to find the cheapest and most restrictive fares, rather the best fare that provides you with the most convenient travel times and amenities.
