Irene Wilkoff Travel

faqs

Do you have a minimum budget?
I don't set a hard minimum, but I specialize in luxury and premium travel where comfort, service, and experience matter. Most of my clients book five-star hotels, private transfers, and thoughtfully curated experiences. If you're looking for the lowest price or fully DIY travel, we may not be the right fit—but if you value elevated planning and insider access, we're a great fit.
Can you add perks if I already booked my hotel?
Often, yes. If your hotel participates in my Virtuoso or Fora partnerships, I can usually add VIP benefits like daily breakfast, upgrade priority, and hotel credits—at no additional cost.
What if I like booking my own hotels?
You can send me the hotels you're considering, or I can share a curated list of personalized recommendations. From there, I'll provide a bookable quote that works just like booking online—except it includes all of my Virtuoso and Fora VIP perks.
Do you book villas, estates, and private homes?
Yes. I arrange private villas, residences, and estates around the world—often with professional management, concierge support, and vetted quality standards that go far beyond typical rental platforms.
Do you plan executive retreats and group trips?
Absolutely. I design executive retreats, corporate off-sites, incentive travel, and multi-generational family celebrations.
Can you help with flights or private jets?
Yes. I arrange commercial flights as part of full-service itinerary planning, and I work with trusted partners for private aviation and charter flights.
Do you work with families traveling with children?
Yes—this is one of my specialties. As a mother of two young boys, I design family travel that works for everyone.
Do you plan domestic and international travel?
Yes. I design both domestic and international journeys—from long weekends in the U.S. to multi-week trips abroad.
Do you offer concierge-level support while we’re traveling?
Yes. When you book Custom Itinerary Design, you have direct access to me throughout your trip.
Do you recommend travel insurance?
Always. Even the most carefully planned trips can be affected by illness, weather, or delays.
