Planning your dream trip to Europe should be fun. Awesome, even.

If the complexities of rail passes, itinerary building, lodging options or even packing are stressing you out, I can help.

I’ve been traveling Europe for over 20 years. In fact, I spend at least two months there every year. If you have lots of questions and/or a complex trip to plan, or if you’re a first-time traveler and are not sure even where to begin, consider a personalized, in-depth trip consultation. I’ll answer all your travel questions, help you construct an itinerary and deconstruct the mysteries of public transportation. I specialize in Western Europe, but can offer help in other areas of Europe from Lisbon to Istanbul.

Note: I am not a travel agent, so any transportation and lodging reservations for your trip will need to be made by you. I will help you decide and smooth over your decision-making spectrum, but I won’t make reservations on your behalf.

Book a consultation online below. The cost is $99 per hour (enough time for all but the most complex trips). Consultations that go over the initial 60 minutes will require immediate payment upon the conclusion of the first hour. Please book an appointment at least 24 hours in advance. Be sure: I offer NO REFUND for cancellations and no-shows. However, you may reschedule outside of 12 hours for no extra fee.

Now what? Be prepared! Get ready for your consultation appointment:

• Test your computer or phone on Google Hangouts. If you don’t have a Google account, that’s fine. You can still join my Hangout. But you should watch how-to videos on YouTube first and then test your device’s speaker and camera another way.
• Bring note-taking materials: Extra laptop, tablet or old-fashioned paper and pencil (take notes — we won’t send you a written summary).
• Prioritize a list of questions and concerns. Be as specific as possible.
• Assemble a rough-hewn itinerary (a simple list of overnight stays, top places you want to see, dates, budget, etc will suffice).

To book a consultation appointment, pick a time from the calendar below. I’m available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Can’t find a time that works for you? Email me at rory[at]rorymoulton.com, and we’ll set up something outside normal hours.
