Your journey, thoughtfully planned

Vagabond Valet is an itinerary design service. You tell us where you want to go and how you like to travel, and we research and write your trip as a Grand Itinerary: a beautifully designed, day-by-day PDF. You can also add a narrated video tour of your route.

It is built around your answers, and usually includes:

• Your route, with a suggested number of nights at each stop.
• One suggested hotel per stop, matched to your stay style, with its official website, the area it is in, an estimated nightly rate (in the local currency and in US dollars), what is included, and practical arrival notes.
• Day-by-day ideas paced the way you asked: relaxed, balanced or packed.
• Getting between stops (trains, ferries, transfers, drives), if you chose to include transport.
• Restaurant and dining ideas, if you chose to include dining.
• An estimated trip budget, given as a low-to-high range.
• General entry notes written for US passport holders, and a list of what is still to confirm before you book.
• Photos of the places on your route, with credits.

Travelers planning for themselves, a partner, family or friends, and travel agents who want polished itineraries branded for their clients.

No. Vagabond Valet is not a travel agency or booking agent. We do not book, hold or confirm hotels, flights, trains, tours, restaurants or anything else. You (or your travel agent) make every booking directly.

No. We never take payment for travel services. During the beta we take no payment at all.

No. Every price is an estimate (marked ≈), researched when your itinerary was written. Rates, fares, exchange rates and fees change, often quickly. The price you pay is the one the provider gives you when you book.

No. We suggest places that fit your trip, but we do not hold rooms or tables and we are not responsible for availability. Book early for popular places and dates.

No. Your itinerary includes general entry notes for US passport holders, based on public information at the time of writing. Rules change. Always confirm entry, visa, health and vaccination requirements with official government sources, and speak to a licensed professional about insurance, medical or legal questions.

Our phone line is answered 24/7/365 by a virtual assistant for questions about Vagabond Valet, but we do not provide on-trip or emergency travel assistance. For problems during your trip, contact the hotel, airline or provider, your travel insurer, or local emergency services.

Choose “I'm planning a trip” on the home page and answer a few short steps:

• Destination: pick places you know, or use Help Me Choose.
• Build your route: type places in the order you want to visit them, or draw areas on a map and pick towns inside them.
• Trip basics: exact dates or flexible dates, who is traveling (including children's ages), group size, pace, and your home airport (optional).
• Stay: Budget, Comfort, Luxury or Ultra-Luxury.
• Transport: include it or skip it. If you include it, mark what you prefer and what to avoid, plus luggage, the most travel time you want in a day, and class.
• Dining: include it or skip it. If you include it, set a dining budget, cuisines to include or avoid, dietary needs, and allergies or other needs.
• Anything else: accessibility or special requests, and whether you are celebrating anything.
• Review your answers, choose your format, and tell us where to send it.

If you are not sure where to go, answer five quick questions: which part of the world, what weather suits you, when you are thinking of going, the vibe you want, and anything to avoid. We suggest three places, and you pick one to continue, or choose your own instead.

Tap “+ Circle” and drag on the map, or “+ Shape” and draw around an area. Circles can be 15–1,000 km across (up to 500 km from the centre). You can also type countries or regions under “Type places”: each one becomes a chip, and together they make one area on the map (for example Ireland + Northern Ireland for the whole island). Towns inside each area appear in a list, biggest first, and you add the ones you want. You can reverse your route or re-sort it by geography.

• Relaxed: one plan a day, with room to linger.
• Balanced: a full morning and a free afternoon.
• Packed: see as much as possible.

Yes. Choose “I'm flexible” and tell us how many days either side we can move (from ± 1 to ± 7 days). We look a few days either side for better prices and availability.

Yes. Add as many stops as you like, in the order you want to visit them, and we plan the whole route.

Yes. Both are optional. Skip transport and we focus on places, stays and days. Skip dining and you will find your own way to the table.

Your PDF itinerary is researched and written for your trip, checked by our team, then emailed from admin@vagabondvalet.com as soon as possible, though it could take a few hours during the beta. If you added a narrated video, it follows in a separate email with a link to watch it, usually within a few hours.

First check your spam or promotions folder for an email from admin@vagabondvalet.com. If it is not there, email us at admin@vagabondvalet.com or call or text (980) 858-5530 and we will look into it.

A narrated 1080p video tour of your route, with photos of each stop, your hotels and highlights, and your estimated budget. It is sent as a private YouTube link, a Google Drive link, or both: you choose when you add the video.

A YouTube link is private (unlisted) on the Vagabond Valet channel (@VagabondValet). Unlisted means it does not appear in YouTube search or on our public channel page, and the link is sent only to you. A Google Drive link lets you watch or download the file. Anyone you share either link with can watch it. We may use de-identified videos, with personal details removed, to promote Vagabond Valet (see our Terms of Use).

Finished itineraries and videos are kept in our storage for 90 days. We recommend that you download your video (and save your PDF) as soon as possible after it arrives.

No. You can plan as a guest. An account saves your preferences and keeps every trip in one place.

They pre-fill every new trip: who is traveling and your pace, date flexibility, home airport, lodging style, dining tier, cuisines, dietary needs, and transport preferences. You can still change anything along the way.

Yes, if you were signed in when you sent it. In My Trips, choose Reopen to load the same answers, edit any step and send it again, or Duplicate to start a copy with new dates. You can re-send a trip for a new PDF up to 3 times. Videos cannot be re-sent.

Yes, if you were signed in when you sent it. In My Trips, choose Add video on that trip. We make the narrated video of the same itinerary and email you the link. No new PDF is sent.

Yes. In My Trips, choose Delete. It is removed from My Trips; any itinerary already emailed to you stays in your inbox.

It is optional. If you opt in, we may send occasional texts, such as a quick check-in after your trip. Reply STOP to opt out at any time.

Choose “Forgot your password?” on the sign-in screen, and we will email you a link to choose a new one.

Nothing during the beta. The PDF itinerary and the narrated video are free while we test the service. If we ever add pricing, we'll announce it on this site first, and nothing requested during the beta will be charged.

Please do! Reply to your itinerary email or write to admin@vagabondvalet.com. Tell us what was useful, what was wrong and what was missing. Every note is read and helps shape the service.

We use your answers to research and write your itinerary, send it to you, and (if you have an account) save your trips and preferences. See our Privacy Policy for the details, including the service providers we use. We never sell your personal data.

Itineraries are AI-assisted, so please confirm details such as opening hours, prices and availability before you book.

Itinerary and video photos come from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons or public domain licenses, and each is credited. Photos on our website are credited under Image credits on our Privacy & Terms page.

Yes. Add each child's age in Trip basics, and we take it into account.

Add them in the Dining step. We use them to choose suggestions, but always confirm allergies and dietary needs directly with each restaurant.

Yes. Use the “Accessibility or special requests” box on the form, and you can also tell us to avoid strenuous hiking or lots of driving. We take these into account, but we cannot verify accessibility features of hotels, transport or sights, so please confirm them directly before you book.

Yes. Use the “Celebrating anything?” box on the form (a honeymoon, anniversary or birthday, for example), and we will reflect it in the plan.

Vagabond Valet is an itinerary design service, founded in 2026 in Charlotte, North Carolina. We research and write beautifully designed, day-by-day Grand Itineraries, with an optional narrated video tour. For travel agents, we produce those itineraries under your agency's brand, ready to share with your clients.

No. We are not a travel agency, and we do not book travel, sell travel or contact suppliers on anyone's behalf. We design the plan; you book the trip.

For each client trip you send us, you get:

• A Grand Itinerary PDF with your agency name, logo, colors and contact details on the cover, footers and contact page.
• A route with suggested nights per stop, one suggested hotel per stop matched to the budget tier, day-by-day ideas paced to your client, and (if you choose) transport between stops and dining suggestions.
• An estimated budget range, general entry notes for US passport holders, and a “still to confirm” list.
• Optionally, a narrated video tour of the route.

You answer a short set of questions about your client's trip, and we do the research, writing and design. You spend your time on advice and bookings instead of formatting documents.

• We do not book, hold or confirm anything, and we do not take payment for travel services.
• We do not interfere with your commissions. We do not book, so we are never between you and your suppliers.
• We do not guarantee prices or availability. Every price is an estimate.
• We do not give visa, legal, medical or insurance advice.
• We do not provide on-trip or emergency travel assistance to you or your clients.
• We do not manually edit itineraries.

1. Set up once. Add your branding and Agent Preferences.
2. Start a trip. Choose “I'm a travel agent” and enter your client's route, dates, travelers, pace, stay tier, and transport and dining preferences.
3. Review. Check the summary and send.
4. Receive. The branded PDF is emailed to you (not to your client), so you can review it before you share it.
5. Share and book. Send it to your client, and book through your usual suppliers and programs.

We do not manually edit itineraries. You can reopen the trip in My Trips, adjust any answer and send it again for a new PDF, up to 3 times per trip. Videos cannot be re-sent.

Yes. You decide when and how to share it.

Yours. Your agency's name, logo, colors and contact details replace Vagabond Valet's on the cover, footers and contact page. No Vagabond Valet contact details appear. Only a small “Powered by Vagabond Valet” line remains, on the cover and the last page.

Agent videos carry your agency's branding, with a small “Powered by Vagabond Valet” line at the bottom.

Only to brand your itineraries.

You do. The itinerary is delivered to you, carries your brand and contact details, and you decide what to share. We never market to or contact your clients. If one of your clients ever reaches out to us directly, we will happily help them, and point them back to you for anything about their bookings.

Only what is needed to plan the trip: travelers, ages of any children, dates, route and preferences. A first name or initials is enough to identify the trip.

We use client trip details only to create that itinerary. Request records expire after 30 days; finished files are kept in our storage for 90 days, so we recommend downloading videos as soon as possible. We share data only with the service providers listed in our Privacy Policy, and we never sell personal data.

Hotel rates are researched for your dates when the itinerary is written and shown in the local currency and in US dollars. Every price is marked as an estimate (≈), and the budget includes about 10% contingency. Always confirm rates with your supplier before quoting.

Itineraries are AI-assisted, so please confirm details such as opening hours, prices and availability before booking or quoting.

General notes are written for US passport holders based on public information at the time of writing. You remain responsible for advising your clients on documents and entry requirements.

The same as for travelers: the PDF is emailed as soon as possible, though it could take a few hours, and a narrated video follows after that, as a private YouTube link, a Google Drive link, or both.

By email from admin@vagabondvalet.com to the agency email on your account. Videos are sent as a private (unlisted) YouTube link, a Google Drive link, or both (your choice), never as an attachment. PDFs and video copies are also kept in our Google Drive for 90 days.

A YouTube link is private (unlisted): it does not appear in YouTube search or on our public channel page, and the link is sent only to you. You decide who to share it with. We may use de-identified videos, with personal details removed, as promotional content.

Free during the beta. We'll announce any agent pricing well before it starts.

Every agency account starts with a 15-minute intro call, so we can understand your business and set you up well. Calls are Monday to Friday on Google Meet; book here. Your account is approved after the call, and then full access unlocks.

The same channels as travelers: email admin@vagabondvalet.com, or call or text (980) 858-5530, 24/7/365. Support is AI-based. If you would like to speak with a person, ask, and we will schedule a time for live support.

Create an account at vagabondvalet.com, choose “A travel agent”, and book your intro call.
