Can’t I just book my trip myself?
When you book your trip through an online travel service, you become one in a large crowd. You are anonymous to the hotels and travel companies, and you definitely don’t receive a VIP experience. When you book direct with a hotel, you may receive some recognition from that hotel, but you miss out on valuable complimentary amenities. When you book a trip with Ourisman Travel, you get personalized attention from the moment you start planning the trip and all the way through until you return home. You will receive valuable travel advice and guidance so you can feel assured that you are making the best choices for your tastes. You will be at the top of the list of VIP clients at each hotel and the staff will be aware of your preferences before you even arrive. Travel will never be the same again!
Doesn’t using a travel agency mean I will have to pay more than if I booked a trip myself?
At Ourisman Travel, we do not charge hotel booking fees, and we make sure you get the best value for the rate. When your travel needs are more complex, we will charge an itinerary design fee, money well spent when you consider that you are enlisting a luxury travel expert to consult on every detail of the trip! We will advise on everything from logistics to behind-the-scenes tours, to special dining and once- in-a-lifetime experiences. Nothing will be left to chance (unless you want it that way!)
