Are you tired of researching and sifting through the overwhelming amount of choices, or asking your friends on social media for their recommendations?

We're here to do it all for you! 

We offer personalized travel itineraries, customized to you and your travel companions, so no two travel experiences are alike! We'll tell you where to stay and map out a day-by-day (or hour-by-hour!) itinerary for you to follow for maximum fun! No need to plan anything, it's all taken care of, so you can just use your vacation to relax!

How INSTAVENTURE WORKS

Take the INSTAVENTURE Quiz to share your preferences!

Whether you like sports or spas, parties or parks, walking or biking, we want to get to know you.

A private pool in the jungle? A kitchen in the city-center? A balcony overlooking the ocean?

We've got you covered!

We'll contact you for your free consultation to lock down all the details!

Sit back and relax while we get to work!

We'll present you with your finished itinerary including transportation, accommodations, activities, restaurants, and a map.

You complete your planning by booking directly with each venue, with direct links clearly highlighted in your itinerary. 

This gives you the freedom to change your activity times as you wish, and keeps you in charge of exactly how much you spend! Because we do not offer inflated travel packages, we are able to find you the lowest cost for each booking.

A simple few clicks of your own helps you to SAVE LOTS OF MONEY!

Pre-Made Guide

DO I NEED TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?!

No way! We believe travel is for everyone! Give us your budget and we will create an itinerary that works for you! Personalized itineraries include all price information so you can see exactly what everything costs and how it adds up for you to stay within your budget. We can include plenty of free activities for you to see your chosen location without racking up the cost! And we have three product options so you can choose how much you want to spend on planning!

CAN'T I DO THIS MYSELF?

You sure can! Many people poll their friends on social media for recommendations that end up being too vague or uninteresting. Then there's the hours upon hours you might spend slogging through travel websites that list the same generic activities, and thousands of hotel listings that start to make your eyes cross! Then there's the hassle of making sure everything is actually feasible to get to within a day and how you're going to get there. We also  make sure to research and include local events and festivals that are happening during your trip dates, so no two vacations look the same!  We are here to create a vacation that you will love without the stress that comes with it! You get your time back and you get to enjoy!

WHY DO I NEED TO BOOK THINGS MYSELF?

The short answer is: TO SAVE YOU MONEY! The long answer is: Because we are not a travel agency, we provide consultation only. We do not provide packages that overcharge you for things you don't want or need. You pay only for the activities you choose to book, and we provide the direct link so that all you have to do is click, enter your information, and you're done! This keeps your financial information safer, and keeps you in control of your trip!

WHEN SHOULD I FIRST CONTACT YOU ABOUT MY TRIP?

Ideally, you should get in touch 4-12 weeks before your trip. Any sooner than that and we can't find the latest happenings to add to your itinerary, ie. festivals and culture days, because city event calendars haven't been published yet. Because we work one-on-one, we take great care to make the best itineraries for you with amazing detail, so itineraries generally take 2-4 weeks to create. If your vacation will be happening sooner than that (who doesn't love spontaneous trips?!), let us know so we can work together to get it to you faster.

WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE MY ITINERARY? CAN I GET A REFUND?

We believe communication is key! If the activities we chose are not to your liking, no problem! You'll get one free edit. Just let us know the activities you don't want, and what else you're looking for. We'll work one-on-one with you to find a great replacement! No refunds are given.

WHAT IF THERE ARE UNEXPECTED ITINERARY CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS?

We are not responsible for any changes in schedule, whether one of your party becomes ill/injured or if any venue on the itinerary cancels or changes its hours. If a venue cancels after purchasing tickets, making reservations, etc, please get in contact with the venue itself for refunds. (We would be happy to help point you in the right direction.) Additionally, you may want to purchase trip insurance. We have partnered with World Nomads  to offer you travel insurance. Click here for more information.

SATISFIED CUSTOMERS

"Do yourself a favor and hire Kris to plan any and all of your trips! Kris planned a 3 month overseas trip for my husband and I. I cannot even put into words how amazing she did! She provided us with a detailed itinerary with EVERYTHING we needed. Our itinerary was divided up into each city we visited, with an itinerary for each day, transportation methods, recommendations, budget and more. Kris's PDF file itinerary was very user friendly and so easy to just click the link and book. Our trip would not have happened if she didn't help plan everything out. We truly cannot thank her enough for providing us such a wonderful itinerary! We enjoyed every part of our trip thanks to her! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING HER!"

Anna at TCS World helped me plan my 40th birthday celebration in Italy with my family. Throughout the entire process she really listened and captured what we wanted for this trip. Not only were they able to accommodate all age ranges but everything we experienced was beyond what we expected. The excursions, hotels and transportation were all top notch and luxurious! I plan to continue to use TCS World for future travels to Africa and India. anita

This was a bucket list trip of a lifetime for us. TCS far exceeded any and all expectations. All the personnel in the office, at each of the sites, on the tours, and in the air were professional, courteous and friendly. Everything about the trip was just over the top and we will likely go on another of their spectacular itineraries in the near future!

This Around-the-World by Private Jet…

This Around-the-World by Private Jet excursion will be my first journey with TCS World Travel. My initial encounter was with Rachael, who is extremely personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She was very patient in answering many questions and offering suggestions and guidance. I look forward to the next stage of planning for the exciting excursion.

Superb people making the trip wonderful

South Africa

What MaryLynn had to say...

Applying a highly professional and engaging approach, Lauren organized an Italian adventure for three couples exceeding all of our expectations. She kept close tabs on us and ensured accommodations and excursions were exactly as planned. Her restaurant and museum recommendations were a highlight of the trip! Most impressively, she maneuvered quickly to make arrangements when one of our group had to return home unexpectedly for work.

MaryLynn W. Toronto, Canada

What Peter had to say...

“In anticipation of a recent Mediterranean cruise we asked Lauren to create three excursions while at port. We were beyond satisfied with the three experiences and learned more about the history and Renaissance art of Italy in two days than we had in a lifetime. The icing on the cake was that the cost of each excursion was half of what the cruise line was charging for what was bound to be a lesser experience!”

Peter D. Sudbury, Canada

The crew you can trust

It's easier to explain what Jess and the fam is Not. 

We're not an app, an AI, meteorologists, geopolitical experts, salespeople, hoteliers, tour operators, insurance adjusters, judges or jury.

We don't know when the volcano will blow. We don't know if they'll steal your purse. We don't know why it smells like that.  And we definitely aren't traditional travel agents.

Jess is a distinctly human itinerary master, researcher, planner, booker, thinker, consultant, organizer, fearless world traveler, eater, drinker, preparer, creator of memories,  and doer for people who hate this stuff.

Relax. Let me overthink this for you.

Pay less with Jess

You may think it costs money to hire a personal travel advisor, but in actuality it's a huge savings. My custom travel itineraries are made with no middle men . The same trip booked as a package directly with a tour company or through a traditional travel agent could literally be thousands of dollars more.

This is the way
