Basic itinerary
Do you have an idea of where you want to go, but don’t have the time or inspiration to put the rail journey together? I can take this off your hands. My basic rail journey planning consists of mapping out an itinerary by train, bus or ferry. You can choose to add sustainable accommodations to that as well. That way, all you have to do is think about what exactly you want to do during your trip. But that’s the fun part, right?
Premium travel package
Not a travel planner at all? I’ll happily create an entire trip for you. All you have to do is tell me what you like to get out of a trip. Like: mountains over beaches? Cross country trip or deepdive into a single country? Luxery boutique hotels or budget ho(s)tels to have more money for cool activities? DIY daytrips or laid-back tours? Just help me understand your travel style, let me plan the entire train trip for you and you only have to book and show up.

How does it work? How do we get from the first contact to a concrete rail journey plan that is just right for you? A travel plan that gets you super excited, and you’ll still think about years later. Simple, we follow a step-by-step plan!
Step 1: Help me get to know you and your travel style
To help me understand what your ideal trip would be, I will give you an extensive questionnaire. All you have to do is pin down your dream trip because I want to know what it looks like! The more details I have, the better I can adjust the trip to you. You can fill it out here.
Step 2: Pricing
Once I have received your answers, I will know exactly what you want, and can give you a cost estimate. Is the price not exactly what you had in mind? That’s possible, of course. Then this is the time to say no. Do you agree with the price? Then I’ll get to work, once I’ve received the payment.
Step 3: The route plan
I’m going to put together a rail journey for you, based on your answers. I think you will absolutely love this one, but I like to share it with you before I put together the whole train journey planning for you. That way you can enjoy the trip planning too, without all the work.
Is there still something you miss or did you forget to mention that you had already been to one of the places? Then I can adjust it now. Totally happy with the itinerary? Then I will draw up the entire rail journey planning, with train/bus times, information about the stops and accommodation and activities if you wish. Everything you need for a carefree train journey is in there.
Step 4: Your personalized rail journey plan is ready!
Your personal rail journey planning is ready! If you’re completely happy, you can book your trip right away. As I’m not a travel agent, unfortunately this doesn’t happen at the click of a button, but I make it as easy as possible. For each stop, you’ll find a link for the train and directly to the booking page for any accommodation and tours. All you then have to do is fill in the date and book.
This is actually quite convenient, as you can then book the trip at your convenience. For example, you can opt for a later train if you still want to have breakfast somewhere, or choose separate tickets between destinations because you want to have lunch somewhere in the middle. Or if the trip was so fantastic that you want to recommend it to everyone, you can also give the itinerary as a gift to someone. I put the itinerary in a nice design, a bit like a custom Lonely Planet, so lovely to share.
