Need a travel consultation via phone
 
Anyone have name/number of a travel consultation via the phone for a trip to Europe. I tried Rick Steves ($60)but they are booked unitl Feb 6th.

I depart on Feb 10 and need someone ASAP to review my trip and make any possiable recomendations.

Submit it right here..of course, be warned that the "review" you get could be more like "American Idol" feedback than what you'd get from a TA..but at least it's free.

submitting it here. But I'm looking for one-on-one consultation and don't mind paying a resonable fee. After all, considering the amount of money I'm paying for the trip....a fee to do a carful review seems worth the investment.

I must say that I've used the board several times for advice and everyone has been very helpful.

Check out the classified ads on www.slowtrav.com.

Both Jim Zurer and Bob Little (Bob the Navigator) are travel consultants; they specialize in Italy. I think their fee is about $ 50. per hour.

I think Sally Watkins also has an ad there. Her area of specialization is, I think, broader, but also quite specialized for Italy. Her fees are probably considerably higher.

I agree - check out the travel consultants on www.slowtrav.com and select one who's an expert in wherever you're going in Europe.

A friend of mine just sent me a link to a site that does consultations for Paris, if you are going there too: http://www.paristriptips.com

Just to clarify, I charge $90 an hour for my time.....
