1. About my working methods
What sort of trips do you organise?
I design trips that combine culture, nature, gastronomy and authentic experiences. From bespoke itineraries to signature tours, each proposal aims to offer a unique experience that respects the destinations and is tailored to your interests and pace.
Do you organise bespoke trips as well as themed tours?
Yes, both. Tailor-made trips are tailored to your exact preferences, whilst themed trips are carefully selected itineraries inspired by stories, books, films or my own passions.
Can I just ask for advice without booking a full trip?
Of course. My consultancy service helps you plan, optimise and enhance your trip, even if you want to book it yourself.
Do you organise trips even if I’ve already arranged part of the trip?
Yes. I can incorporate existing bookings and enhance your trip with experiences, accommodation or itineraries that add value and coherence to your itinerary.
Do you work with solo travellers, couples and groups?
Yes, each project is tailored to the traveller’s or group’s circumstances: from solo getaways to family holidays or small groups with shared interests.
What sets Rumbo & Aventura apart from a traditional agency?
My approach is to be there for you before, during and after your trip, to listen to your interests and create experiences that will stay with you. I work with reliable suppliers, but the focus is on you and your travel story.
Do you also offer package holidays and standard trips?
Of course, thanks to my affiliation with Archer Travel I have access to the leading providers in the market, and you can ask me to organise any kind of trip, even if you just need a flight and a hotel.
2. One-to-one travel advice
What sort of travellers is this advice aimed at?
For travellers who want professional guidance to plan their trips, optimise their routes, choose experiences or sort out logistical issues, whilst retaining the freedom to make their own decisions.
Can I use the advice service for specific queries (documentation, vaccinations, weather, etc.)?
Yes. The advice is flexible and tailored to your needs, whether it’s answering specific questions or planning your entire trip.
Is the advice still useful if I’ve already booked my trip?
Yes. I can help you improve your itinerary, recommend activities and accommodation, and give you practical tips to help you make the most of your trip.
Does the consultancy service include any follow-up?
It depends on the type of package you choose. We can arrange additional sessions to fine-tune the details or support you right up until your trip.
Where can I find out the cost of the consultancy service?
The price is shown on the page at Terms and Conditions . It includes professional dedication, preparation and personalised recommendations.
3. Itinerary planning
What exactly does the itinerary planning service include?
It includes a comprehensive travel plan: itineraries, transport, accommodation, local experiences, and recommendations for food and culture. Everything is designed to help you make the most of your time and enjoy every moment.
Does the itinerary include bookings?
It depends on the type of service you’ve booked. I can offer strategic design only, or, if you’d like, I can handle bookings with trusted suppliers.
Can I commission the design and then make the booking myself?
Yes. The itinerary serves as a comprehensive guide: you decide which bookings to make yourself or with my help.
What sort of destinations do you work with?
Mainly European destinations and carefully selected experiences on other continents. It always prioritises authentic, sustainable places steeped in history that connect you with the local culture.
How long does it take to plan an itinerary?
Every itinerary is unique. It usually takes between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on the complexity, duration of the trip and level of personalisation.
What do I need to provide you with to get started?
Your interests, dates, approximate budget and any previous bookings. The more details you give me, the more accurate your itinerary will be.
4. Tailor-made trips and special experiences
What exactly is a writer’s journey?
A bespoke tour is an experience carefully designed by me, inspired by my own interests and passions. These are unique itineraries that combine culture, art, nature and authentic experiences, designed to allow you to experience the destination from a personal and enriching perspective.
Are these group or private trips?
Author-led tours are group and exclusive, with a limited number of places to ensure that each participant enjoys an intimate and personal experience, travelling accompanied by me.
What sort of experiences do you include?
Encounters with local culture, themed tours, literary or film-themed itineraries, workshops and unique activities that reflect my vision and passion for these destinations. Every detail is carefully planned to ensure the group enjoys a memorable and enriching trip.
Can I book a bespoke holiday?
Yes, as part of my itinerary design services, I can create a similar trip for a specific traveller. In that case, the itinerary will be tailored to your interests, but I won’t be accompanying you in person, as I am only available for my own author tours.
How can I find out about upcoming author tours?
You can subscribe to our newsletter, follow us on social media or join the waiting list. That way, you’ll receive information about new routes, dates and exclusive experiences before they’re made available to the general public.
5. Professional travel support
What is professional travel support?
This is an exclusive service where I travel with you or your group to guide, coordinate and enhance the experience, ensuring that everything runs smoothly, safely and with personalised attention.
What does the professional travel support service include?
It includes guidance throughout your trip, coordination of activities, local recommendations, help with any unforeseen issues and ongoing support to ensure you have a fulfilling and worry-free experience.
Can I book a professional travel companion for any itinerary?
Yes, provided it is a tour designed for small groups. This service focuses on ensuring that the experience is comfortable, well-organised and enriching.
How can I request this service?
Please use the contact form or the link on the relevant page to request a private consultation. We’ll go through your trip with you and work out the details together to ensure you have a unique experience.

What do you mean by luxury travel?
Trips with attention to detail, exclusive experiences, high-end accommodation and personalised service, whilst retaining authenticity and a connection with the local culture.
Do you work with luxury trains, cruise ships and premium experiences?
Yes. I choose options that offer comfort, safety and memorable experiences, always in keeping with the spirit of the trip.
Are these trips always unaffordable?
Not necessarily. There are different levels of luxury and premium experiences to suit different budgets, with every detail tailored to your means.
Can luxury experiences be combined with cultural travel?
Absolutely. The aim is to enhance the destination’s culture, history and cuisine with superior comfort and attentive service.
What sort of traveller tends to choose this sort of experience?
Those seeking quality, exclusivity, memorable experiences and a deep connection with the destination, without compromising on comfort or attention to detail.
7. Travelling with animals
Do you organise pet-friendly trips?
Yes, and with a particular focus on your pet’s comfort and wellbeing, looking for accommodation, transport and activities that welcome pets.
What sort of accommodation and experiences can be included?
Hotels, holiday cottages and local experiences that welcome pets, some even offering luxury services tailored to them.
Does travelling with pets make the trip much more expensive?
It depends on the route and the type of accommodation. I always look for well-balanced options that combine quality with respect for your travel companion.
Can I just ask for advice on travelling with my pet?
Yes. I can advise you on specific itineraries, accommodation and services, even if you decide to book them yourself.

9. Contact and getting started
How can I start working with you?
All you need to do is fill in the form on the contact page or request a consultation. From there, we’ll organise your trip step by step.
How long does it take you to reply to an enquiry?
Usually within 24–48 working hours, because every message deserves attention and a considered reply.

Yes. Even if you haven’t decided on a specific trip yet, we can have a chat and advise you on options, destinations and experiences.
Do you organise international trips?
Yes, my services cover European destinations and selected experiences around the world.
Is it better to ask for advice or for an itinerary to be drawn up?
It depends on your needs. If you’re looking for guidance and strategic planning, consultancy is the ideal choice. If you’d like a fully structured trip that’s ready to enjoy, itinerary design is the most comprehensive option.
