Why you should have TRAVEL PLANNING by Billy’s Cities plan your next trip
We are passionate about travel. You could say we’re a little obsessed. Some people don’t enjoy the planning part of travel. Some people don’t have the time for it. Others are intimidated by it. We love it! We happily spend hours, days, weeks trying to find the best deal on flights and hotels. We endlessly research how to get around, what are the best sights to see, the hottest places to go. Will is a whiz at putting together trip itineraries to get the most out of his travel. Chuck is an expert on extracting the best value out of his loyalty program miles and points. We do this for our own travel, and we’ll do it for you.
We can help you get tickets for local events, and we’ll also arrange airport pickup and private tours. We’ll let you know how you can save money on local transit and sightseeing. When you’re planning on visiting a major city, we’ll help you plan side trips to places you might have never considered.
Our primary focus area is Europe–especially France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. But we can work with you on trips anywhere in the world. We travel anywhere and everywhere in the world on our own. And we’ll help you get there too.

What it costs
Because each trip is customized, our planning and consulting fee, which builds on a base of $200, is dependent upon the complexity and length of your trip, as well as the number of travelers. ♦Be sure to ask about our special introductory offer of $100 for an individual traveler and $25 for each additional traveler!♦
What you get
At the start of the planning process, you’ll get an initial video consultation with us to discuss the goals for your trip. After we research flights and hotels, we will propose arrangements that best suit your needs. We will alert you when you need to book your flight. (Because we are not travel agents, we won’t book your flights. But we will let you know when we’ve found the best flight for you and then encourage you to book right away before the fare changes.) The planning process substantially concludes when we provide you with an initial trip itinerary that’s fully customized to your travel goals. We’ll keep your itinerary up to date should your flights change or if we become aware of other sights might like to add to your itinerary. Because we want your trip to be perfect and for you to be fully satisfied with your experience, we will be available before and during your trip to give you any further assistance you might need.
