Planning a custom getaway to breathtaking, far-off destinations should be as exciting as the journey itself. At The Operach Team, we specialize in crafting unforgettable travel experiences to some of the world's most stunning locations — including Italy, Spain, Switzerland, France, Croatia, England, Iceland, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, and beyond.
We take pride in designing personalized vacations that are seamless, enriching, and tailored to your every desire. Below, discover more about our signature planning process and everything included in our expertly curated travel packages.
What is a Custom Itinerary?
While many of our clients love the ease of pre-packaged guided tours, cruises, and all-inclusive vacations, we know that true travel lovers often crave something more personalized. These pre-designed experiences are wonderful — but they aren't considered custom itineraries.
For those seeking a journey as unique as they are, we specialize in creating fully customized, independent, multi-city vacations.
Our most popular custom trips often weave together multiple European cities — imagine starting your adventure in Iceland, continuing on to vibrant Dublin, and wrapping up with the timeless charm of London. We also design incredible multi-destination experiences in breathtaking places like Costa Rica, Australia, and Thailand.
Your dream vacation isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is the way we plan it.
What’s Included in Your Custom Journey?
When you travel with us, every detail is thoughtfully planned to ensure a seamless, memorable experience. Here's what you can expect:
Airfare: We only include regular economy or business class airfare in our packages — never restrictive basic economy fares. Why? Because basic economy often leads to unexpected add-on fees, limited flexibility, and an overall less enjoyable travel experience. We carefully select the best available flights, focusing on shorter travel times and connection windows that are just right — not too tight, not too long.
Hotels: We handpick every hotel we recommend, prioritizing centrally located properties that offer both comfort and character. Most of our selected hotels include daily breakfast, and each one has been personally vetted by our team and trusted partners. If we wouldn’t stay there ourselves, we won't suggest it for you.
Rail: Especially popular throughout Europe, rail travel is often part of our custom itineraries. When possible, we upgrade to first-class seating for a minimal additional cost — providing you with more comfort and a better overall value.
Transfers: Often the most overlooked aspect of a trip, we arrange private transfers between your hotels, airports, and train stations, ensuring smooth, stress-free transitions throughout your journey.
Tours: To enhance your experience, we recommend optional tours tailored to your interests. Whenever possible, we prioritize small-group tours to give you a more personalized and intimate look at your destination.
Support: Travel should be worry-free. In the rare case that something unexpected arises, you’ll have access to 24/7 support through our trusted suppliers — plus, you can always reach us directly by phone, email, or text.
Our Commitment: We are dedicated to planning trips that are perfectly curated, thoughtfully organized, and completely hassle-free — so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the journey.
Why Not Just Book It Yourself?
Sure, you could spend hours scouring the internet — in fact, studies show the average traveler spends between 5 to 10 hours researching their vacation online. But what you’ll often find is confusing, incomplete, and sometimes misleading.
While it’s possible to find pieces of a trip online at lower prices, it’s rarely an apples-to-apples comparison. What looks like a deal often comes with hidden compromises — like no breakfast included, basic economy airfare with tons of restrictions, inconvenient flight schedules, "run of house" hotel rooms, unreliable service providers, and, most importantly, no real support if something goes wrong during your travels.
When you work with us, you’re not just booking a trip — you’re investing in a carefully curated, expertly managed travel experience. We handle the details, eliminate the guesswork, and provide the peace of mind that only comes from working with a trusted professional.
Experience the difference that true travel expertise makes.
Ready to Start Planning?
We understand that when it comes to custom travel, pricing can feel like a bit of a mystery. That’s why after our initial planning conversation, we’ll create a complimentary draft itinerary — giving you a clear overview of your journey and an estimated budget, with no obligation.
Your personalized draft will outline key components such as transportation, the style and category of accommodations, and other included experiences. Many of our partners offer exclusive, unpublished package discounts, which is why individual pricing for components cannot be itemized. To protect these partnerships, the draft will not include specific flight schedules or hotel names.
Crafting a truly exceptional, tailor-made itinerary takes time, expertise, and careful attention to detail. To move forward with a detailed itinerary, including revisions and enhancements, we require a one-time, non-refundable planning deposit of $250.
The best part? That deposit will be fully credited toward your trip when you book within 45 days.
Let’s bring your dream journey to life — effortlessly and beautifully
