FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ask us anything. Really.
What does Guide Me Away actually do?
We’re a bespoke travel design agency in Vancouver, Canada. We plan and manage trips end to end — flights, stays, experiences, dinner reservations, and everything in between — tailored entirely to you. Our specialties are custom bespoke journeys, bucket-list expeditions, and multigenerational family travel, alongside allinclusives and cruises.
How does the planning process work?
We start with a conversation to understand what you want from the trip. From there, we design a curated itinerary, refine it with you, and then manage the bookings and details once approved. Before you travel, you’ll have everything you need clearly organized.
Who do you plan trips for?
We plan travel for families, couples, groups, solo travellers, honeymooners, business travellers, and anyone who wants a more thoughtful, seamless way to travel. Whether it’s a once-in-a-lifetime journey or a much-needed escape, we build it around you.
Do you charge planning fees?
Some trips may include a planning fee, depending on the complexity, level of customization, and time required. We’ll always be upfront about this before we begin, so you know exactly what to expect.
Where do you plan travel to?
We plan travel worldwide, from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to cruises, all-inclusive resorts, polar journeys, safaris, and custom bucket-list experiences. Wherever you want to go, we help shape the journey with care and expertise.
Are you with us while we travel?
Yes. You’re not left on your own once the trip begins. We remain available before, during, and after your journey to assist with questions, changes, or unexpected issues along the way.
