Any questions ?
With these options, we take the research out of your hands and provide you with all the information you need to make your own reservations: a personalised low-carbon itinerary for the transport plan, or all the information you need before and during your trip for the roadbook package. In both cases, all you have to do is book your transport and accommodation: a major time-saver!
To make it easier for you to organise before and during your trip, we create a personalised roadbook. It’s an interactive PDF that will become your guide to the overall organisation of your trip: you’ll find all the details of your itinerary, links to book your transport (in the roadbook package), your accommodation and a wealth of information at each stage of your journey, very useful when you’re on the road (description of places you’ll explore, public transport, restaurant and activity recommendations, practical services…). You’ll keep an eye on it everyday through your smartphone or your printed version!
Well, it’s a trip where we take care of everything from A to Z. We’ll take care of the trip design, but in this case we’ll also manage all the bookings for your trip. And along the way, we’re on hand to help with any assistance problems you may have : we can help you find alternatives by managing your bookings. If you’re looking for maximum simplicity and peace of mind, this is the formula for you!
