Frequently Asked Questions
Travel requirements vary by destination and can shift — entry requirements, visa documentation, health protocols. We stay current on what applies to your specific itinerary and ensure you arrive informed and prepared, without having to sort through it yourself.
What about travel restrictions —will you help me navigate those?
Personal experience informs our recommendations, but it isn't the whole picture. For destinations we haven't visited ourselves, we work with carefully vetted on-the-ground partners who have deep, current expertise in that region. Their knowledge, combined with our research and network, allows us to design with the same level of intention and specificity we bring to every itinerary.
How do you plan vacations to places you’ve never traveled to?
Yes — and there's real value in booking through us. As a Virtuoso-affiliated agency, we're able to secure VIP amenities at top properties that aren't available through standard booking channels. Search and book your hotel through this link to access those benefits.
I just want to book a luxury hotel. can i do this through mmarkham travel?
Each itinerary is designed from a conversation rather than a template. Your specific planning fee depends on the scope of the trip: length of travel, number of guests, destinations, and overall complexity. We confirm the fee in writing after our first conversation, once the trip is scoped clearly enough to do so.
Across every tier, our work includes:
- Itinerary design and destination strategy
- Hotel selection aligned to your priorities, with Virtuoso or preferred partner hotel amenities where available
- Coordination of accommodations, transfers, and experiences
- Pre-departure preparation
- Support throughout your travels
Hotel-only reservations with our preferred partner properties typically carry no planning fee.
