A Private Escorted Journey combines the flexibility of tailor-made travel with the reassurance of having your travel designer by your side.

Unlike a traditional guided tour, every itinerary is created around your interests, pace, and travel style. On selected departures, Chiara personally accompanies the journey, ensuring every experience reflects the original vision behind the trip.

Local guides are essential—and they remain an important part of every journey.

They bring in-depth knowledge of their region, history, wildlife, and culture that no single person could ever replace.

Chiara’s role is different.

She connects the entire journey, coordinates every detail, ensures a seamless experience from beginning to end, and shares the personal relationships and local insights built over years of living and working across Latin America.

Think of it as having both the expertise of outstanding local guides and the reassurance of traveling with the person who designed the entire experience.

Absolutely.

Travel Local Club works with carefully selected local guides in every destination.

Not only because they are true experts in their own regions, but also because supporting local communities is one of our core values.

Whenever possible, we work with independent guides, family-owned businesses, and locally operated experiences that contribute directly to the local economy.

Because you’re not simply paying for someone to accompany you.

You’re investing in years of destination knowledge, carefully built local relationships, meticulous planning, and continuous support throughout your journey.

Every itinerary is designed from scratch, every accommodation is personally selected, and every experience is chosen for its quality—not because it’s part of a standard package.

In addition, when Chiara personally accompanies a private journey, her travel expenses—including domestic flights, accommodation, meals, transportation, and insurance—must also be covered.

This ensures she can dedicate her full attention to your journey from beginning to end.

No.

Travel Local Club does not ask clients to cover Chiara’s international flights from Italy.

When a journey is personally hosted, only the travel expenses incurred during the trip itself—such as accommodation, local transportation, meals, and any activities where her presence is required—are shared as part of the overall journey cost.

This approach allows guests to enjoy the benefits of traveling with their travel designer without feeling responsible for the cost of bringing her from Europe.

Because they have different roles.

Local guides are the experts in their own region. They share the history, wildlife, culture, and traditions of the places you visit.

Chiara’s role is to ensure the entire journey flows seamlessly—from the moment you arrive until you return home. She coordinates every detail, adapts the itinerary when needed, bridges cultural and language barriers, and introduces you to trusted local partners she has spent years getting to know.

Together, they create an experience that neither could provide alone.

If you’re looking for the cheapest way to travel, probably not.

If you’re looking for a journey where every detail has been thoughtfully planned, every local partner has been personally selected, and every unexpected situation is handled by someone who knows the destination firsthand, then the value becomes clear.

Many of our guests tell us that traveling with their travel designer completely changed the way they experienced Latin America.

Of course.

Most of the journeys designed by Travel Local Club are completely independent and are operated by our trusted local partners.

A Private Escorted Journey is simply an additional option for travelers who would like the reassurance and unique perspective of traveling alongside their travel designer.

Not always.

Private Escorted Journeys are available for selected itineraries and subject to availability.

If you’re planning a special trip, get in touch and we’ll be happy to discuss whether personal accompaniment is possible.
