2. How does the planning process work?

1️⃣ Book a complimentary consultation
Book a consultation via our calendar so we can learn more about your travel plans, priorities, and the level of support you may need.

2️⃣ Consultation call
During the call, we’ll explore your travel ideas, timing, who you’ll be travelling with, and how you’d like the trip to feel. We’ll also explain how we work and recommend the planning service best suited to your trip.

4. Why should I book through Vivia Travel instead of planning on my own?

✔ A journey designed around your priorities
Every itinerary is personalised to reflect how you want to experience your destination, creating a trip that's both meaningful and well organised.

✔ Expert planning and professional coordination
We'll bring together accommodation, transport, experiences, and logistics into one cohesive journey, helping everything come together smoothly.

Through our global partnerships and network of local experts, you'll benefit from carefully selected hotels, authentic experiences, and knowledgeable local partners throughout your journey.


5. How do I get started?

To begin planning your trip, book a complimentary consultation directly via our calendar. During the call, we’ll discuss your travel plans, priorities, and which planning service best suited to your trip. 


6. What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Planning fees are non-refundable once planning has commenced.

Cancellation policies for accommodation, tours, transfers, and other travel services are determined by the individual supplier. We'll explain these policies before any bookings are confirmed and assist wherever possible should your plans change.


7. Can you accommodate special requests or unique travel experiences?

Absolutely. We love creating trips that reflect what matters most to you.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, looking for authentic cultural experiences, private tours, unique dining experiences, or something a little different, we'll work closely with our trusted network of local partners across Asia to create a journey that's personal and memorable.

While some requests are subject to availability, we'll always do our best to make your trip as special as possible.


8. Do you plan group travel and special interest trips? 

Absolutely. We specialise in bespoke travel planning for families, friends, multi-generational travel, private groups, incentive travel, and special interest journeys.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone, organising a group getaway, or planning a journey centred around a shared passion or interest, we'll tailor every itinerary to reflect your goals, preferences, and the level of support you need.


9. How far in advance should I plan my trip?

For the best choice, we recommend starting the planning process 6 to 12 months in advance, particularly for peak travel periods, special events, or more complex itineraries.

If you're planning on shorter notice, don't worry. We'll always do our best to create a memorable journey with the options available.


10. What destinations do you specialise in?

South Korea is our core speciality, and we also create bespoke journeys throughout selected destinations across Asia.

Whether you're planning a single-country journey or travelling across multiple destinations, we combine regional expertise, carefully selected hotels, and authentic cultural experiences to help you explore Asia with confidence.
