We Are Travel Architects, Not Order-Takers.
At Follow the Goose Travel, we believe "unpretentious luxury" is the freedom to explore the world as your authentic self. Whether you are a childfree couple seeking silence or a solo traveler seeking connection, we don't just book trips; we architect experiences.
Two Ways to Travel
Master Architect or Strategic Pathfinder?
The Master Plan
Bespoke Itinerary Architecture
For the traveler who wants the whole damn thing. We don't just book a trip; we architect a narrative. Whether it's a multi-country European rail journey or a complex road trip through New England, we act as your project manager from the moment you leave your doorstep until you return. You get the freedom of a custom adventure without the burden of planning it.
The "No-Worries" Inclusions:
The Blueprint: A fully customized, day-by-day itinerary built from scratch, tailored specifically to your pace, passions, and personal travel style.
Total Logistics: We handle all the complex moving parts—flights, trains, private drivers, and transfers—at no extra fee to ensure a seamless journey.
Concierge Magic: We secure your dining reservations, spa appointments, and create those "surprise & delight" moments that elevate a trip from good to unforgettable.
The Fixer: Travel with total confidence. You have our team on standby to troubleshoot any hiccups while you are on the road, so you never have to wait on hold.
Planning Fee: From $1,500 One-time design fee for custom trips up to 7 Days / 6 Nights.
Focused Getaways
Resorts, Cruises & Single-Stop Stays
Perfect for when you crave a VIP hotel stay, an all-inclusive resort reset, or a specific cruise voyage without the complexity of a multi-stop itinerary. We offer two distinct ways to start, depending on where you are in the planning process:
Option A: The Pathfinder (You Know Where) You know exactly where you want to go (e.g., "Bucuti & Tara in Aruba" or "Virgin Voyages Greek Glow"). We don't just book it; we validate the choice to ensure it matches your vibe, secure the specific room category that offers the best value, and lock in your VIP perks.
Cost: $150 Deposit
The Kicker: 100% credited back to your trip upon booking.
Option B: Destination Discovery (You Need Options) You have dates and a vibe, but no specific destination. You need an expert to go down the research rabbit hole so you don't have to. We assess weather patterns, flight logistics, and property availability to present 3 curated options perfectly tailored to your style.
Cost: $500 Planning Fee
Note: This covers our research time and is not credited back.

Our Four-Step
Architectural Process
The Blueprint (Consultation & Discovery):
We begin with a deep-dive consultation, a collaborative session designed to understand your unique travel style, your biggest dreams, and your most important desires for the journey ahead.
The Plan (Design & Refinement):
We research and craft a bespoke initial itinerary proposal, then collaborate with you to refine every detail until it's perfect.
The Build (Booking & Coordination):
We handle all logistics, leveraging our global network to secure all bookings, from flights and hotels to tours and transfers.
The Journey (Support & Follow-Up):
Before you depart, we provide a thorough briefing and remain available for support while you travel, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
The Nitty-Gritty:
Logistics & Concierge Fees

Private Aviation & Marine: Charter jets, private yacht charters, and accompanied pet travel.
Events & Groups: Destination weddings, corporate buyouts, bachelor/ette getaways, and hosted retreats.
Active Adventure: Trekking, biking, river cruises, and private guided expeditions.
Theme Parks: Grown-Up Magic & Global Thrills Text: For the Disney Adults, Universal fanatics, and thrill-seekers. We architect high-strategy itineraries for destinations worldwide—from Tokyo DisneySea and Epcot Food & Wine to Universal’s Epic Universe and Halloween Horror Nights. We manage the Genie+, VIP tours, and dining reservations so you get the magic without the friction.
Pricing for these specialty services is provided via custom proposal.
Why Pay a Fee?
"Why do you charge fees when other agents are free?"
Because we work for you, not the airline, not the hotel, not the resort.
Many "free" agents are incentivized to book whatever pays the highest commission, regardless of whether it fits your needs. By charging for our professional time—just like an architect, lawyer, or accountant—we are free to give you unbiased advice.
Whether it’s finding a childfree resort that actually enforces the age limit, or routing you through an airport that has a better connection record, our loyalty is to your experience.
Plus, our affiliation with Fora, Virtuoso, Tablet Pro, and 100’s of Preferred Partners often gets you perks (room upgrades, free breakfast, resort credits) that far outweigh the cost of our fees.
