Good Trips goodies
At Good Trips, our affiliations with travel networks–like Virtuoso, Belmond Bellini Club, Relais & Chateaux, Rosewood, Design Hotels, and more–unlock a treasure trove of perks just for you.
Not to mention, we've built our own portfolio of those small unique hotels and tour operators that you won't see in any consortium.
We're talking gourmet breakfasts, hotel credits over $100, welcome gifts, and even transformative local experiences. When you book with us, your stay becomes an elevated experience at one of our carefully chosen, design-forward, and sustainable hotels worldwide.
But the real kicker…
We've got hotel matchmaking down to an art. Our number one priority is to find you the perfect place. On top of that, we communicate your preferences directly to the hotel, making sure that when you arrive, you're not just a reservation—you're a guest they're excited to host. This rapport often leads to room upgrades and other little touches that make a big difference.
All this while saving you the time and stress of trawling through endless online reviews.
WHO YOU ARE
Our clients are all unique and don't fit into one box, but there are some characteristics they tend to share. Our travelers are thoughtful. They are curious. They are design-lovers. They are collaborators. They are often entrepreneurs or executives (but not always!), busy with work and life. And they have a passion for maximizing their moments and experiences.
We are probably not The Right Fit if you…
have plenty of time to plan and strategize;
are looking for off-the-shelf itineraries;
and/or aren’t interested in traveling responsibly.
Your travel plans should be as loose or as structured as desired to meet your goals. We embed flexibility into travel plans so you return home refreshed and inspired, whether it was a weekend away, a quick business trip, or your long-awaited dream adventure.
You want a partner that will act on your behalf to find and organize experiences, just right for YOU.
We are Travel advisors for today's traveler
>> We aid travelers beyond merely providing pre-assembled itineraries, crafting trips as unique as you are.
>> Because we are independent and unconstrained by particular hotel and tour groups, we have the autonomy to select only those whose values align with ours - centering on design, exceptional service, and sustainability.
>> We are researchers, designers, and aggregators. We curate your trip by working intently with you or your EA/travel manager as well as any hotels/suppliers on your behalf so that no details go overlooked.

I wouldn't dare book without her!
I'm a super-picky traveler. Katy is never flustered by my (many) requests and my travel experience has seriously leveled up since using her Tailored Booking service. She somehow manages to get me into the most gorgeous rooms at the chicest hotels.

understanding the surface-level goals and got to know my personality, aesthetic, and other personal elements that influenced their recommendations. The trip was an adventure of a lifetime.
