Travel Consultation
Get expert advice from Tanya on a 60 min video call, discussing trip options and answering your questions in real time.
I suggest the best destinations, activities & hikes for your specific interests and travel dates. I also advise on rail passes, trip flow, and travel logistics.
This video call is a easy way to narrow your wish list into an realistic plan.
Custom Itinerary
Based on a questionnaire or our video call chat, I turn your trip wishes into daily plan.
It includes step-by-step instructions each activity, travel logistics and suggested accommodations and restaurants.
This helps you travel confidently without having to piece things together yourself.
Already have an itinerary?
If you already have a rough plan (ChatGPT?), I can review it or just ask me specific questions.
NOTE: This review is only suitable if you have already decided where to stay and have a detailed plan for daily activities.
If you have a wish list of destinations and activities, please book a Video Call or Personalized Itinerary service instead.
Already have an itinerary (maybe from ChatGPT) but have questions? Send me your detailed draft itinerary and I'll provide feedback via email.
Ask Tanya specific questions via email, like which travel pass is the best value based on your itinerary or would Pilatus or Mt Rigi be a better fit for our family. If you need more general trip advice, please book one of the other services.

How we work together
The typical travel consultation goes like this:
Pay for video call and schedule a time slot. You will receive a link to Google Meet for the call.
On the call, we discuss your trip and I walk you through suggested destinations, activities and flow for the trip. After the call, I send you basic notes with a list of things discussed on the call.
If you want more detailed help, you also book my Personalized Itinerary service. Then based on our video call discussion, I create a step-by-step plan for your trip. (You can also book this without the call.)
You review the itinerary and ask questions via email. My service includes one round of adjustments based on your feedback. If you need more help, you can book more of my time as needed.
What you get
With the video call, you get call notes, which includes a list of hikes, activities, and destinations discussed in the call, with links to more information.
With the Personalized Itinerary service, I provide more detail, with step-by-step instructions for each day of your itinerary including travel logistics.

How can we communicate?
I typically communicate with customers via email and video conference via Google Meet. I reserve the right to terminate any conversation that I deem inappropriate or abusive.
Do you need a video call?
Most of my customers prefer to start with a video call. It’s an easy way to explain your trip wishes and ask questions.
On the call, I can walk you through activities, hikes, and train journeys so you feel more comfortable when traveling.
If you don’t book a call, I’ll send you a longer questionnaire so I better understand what you want from your trip.
You can also book just the call without the personalized itinerary.
