Hidden Pearl Travel charges a $150 trip planning fee at the beginning of the process.

The travel industry largely operates on a commission basis, with agents earning commission from the suppliers that we book your trips through.

Our trip planning includes any type of booking needed from when you leave your home until you return. We have access to innumerable suppliers for air travel, transfers, train travel, rental cars, lodging, tours, excursions, cruises, event tickets, private jets...just about anything! When it's all settled, you'll have an app with each step of your trip spelled out, complete with electronic admission tickets if needed. 

We specialize in Europe because it's the area of travel that we are most experienced with and know the best. This doesn't restrict us from booking other things, but it does mean that this is the area we know best. Look for us to add some specialties in the coming years, including trips to Africa!

When we first arrived in France, I was speaking with a restaurant server and kept mispronouncing "Merci beaucoup" (thank you very much). I was pronouncing it as Merci beau-cue...which carries a very different meaning. You'll have to use Google to see what I was accidentally saying to the server!
