What Keeps Your Dream Trip on Hold?

You’ve been talking about that European trip for years. The dream is vivid, but then reality hits: the planning overwhelm. Which countries? How do you coordinate hotels and trains for a group? The research feels like a second job, so the dream gets pushed to “someday.”
Or worse, you’ve traveled but compromised the whole way. Skipped the cathedral you came to see because everyone else was ready to leave. Rushed through the historic district because no one else cared. You came home thinking: I missed what I actually came for.
Here’s the truth: Waiting doesn’t make it easier. Life gets busier, not simpler. Your energy won’t magically improve with age. Every year you postpone is another year you’re not standing in those places that light you up.

The truth
You need someone who handles the logistics so you can actually experience the trip you’ve been dreaming about. Traveltied cares about the memories you want to create. We value your investment in us as well as your journey.

We’re Your Dedicated Advocates
Your experience matters deeply to us, and so does your time and investment. WE offer end to end trip management. When you trust Traveltied with your dream trip, We take that responsibility seriously. We’re here to take the stress off your plate. With help from choosing the BEST vetted travel partners, guides and accommodations, to obtaining deposits and payments, so you can relax and enjoy the process.

How We Can Work Together

Short introductory paragraph.

  • Custom Private & Group European Experiences

    We design completely custom itineraries around your group's specific interests—then handle every detail from historic accommodations to private guides.
    Perfect for: Book clubs, women's groups, wine enthusiasts, history buffs, garden societies, heritage travelers, and reunion groups

  • Small Group Matching

    We'll match you with an upcoming small group trip that fits your interests—or help you start your own group and let others join as they're ready. We'll guide you the whole way.
  • River Cruises + Custom Land

    River cruises offer convenience without the cookie-cutter feel of commercial ocean cruises. We can design custom experiences before and after your cruise to expand your journey. We'll help you choose the right cruise line, then create personalized land adventures that bookend your river journey.

A Personal Note from Jonnie Byres, Founder

I understand the frustrations of travel logistics. Hello, train strike drama! Those challenges don’t have to become obstacles. A small group provides safety and confidence, especially for those less experienced.

I also know about choosing to live intentionally and the satisfaction that elevates your overall happiness. I’m now laser-focused on achieving my own travel goals, and I guess that’s the one good thing to come out of my wake-up call.

How We work together

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just take one small step, We’ll walk with you from there.

  1. 1

    Let's Get to Know Each Other

    What kind of experience is your book club looking for? Does your women's group prefer wine country or historic cities? What lights you up? We take pride in getting to know our clients so we can make their trip as enjoyable as possible. This begins with you filling out a brief questionnaire, then we'll have a complimentary Zoom call to discuss your dreams. No pressure. Just conversation.

  2. 2

    Proposal Approval

    Once we both decide we’re a great fit, we’ll discuss our fee ($150-$200 per person, paid before in-depth research begins).

    Traveltied will work its magic (usually takes about two weeks depending on trip complexity). You’ll receive:

    •  A presentation proposal to share with your group. 
    • A custom trip landing page where additional travelers can sign themselves up to join you.
    • A detailed Client Guide, which will house everything from who Traveltied is to how to download your customer portal, approve invoices and view trip details.

    Upon approval and deposit collection, we’ll get your party confirmed. Don’t worry, we’re handling a million little details during this time so you don’t have to!

  3. 3

    Travel with Confidence

    As your travel dates approach, your group stays informed with email updates about requirements or changes. They can also join our community to stay connected and ask questions. If desired, we can create a What’s App group to share information, so that no one person is getting all of the last minute questions. 

    Shortly before travel:

    • Pre-travel itinerary walk-through presentation
    • “Know Before You Go” guide (sent 1 month out)
    • Optional Zoom Q&A session

    All that’s left is to enjoy the incredible experience ahead!

    You’ll have:

    • Destination support if you need anything while traveling
    • Interactive mobile app with all your documents and travel info
    • WhatsApp messaging for easy communication
    • A community of friends just as excited as you are

I had a wonderful experience working with Jonnie and Traveltied to plan our family Costa Rica trip! Everything was seamless from start to finish, and we felt truly taken care of throughout the entire process. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and really listened to what we wanted. Some of our favorite moments—relaxing in the hot springs and ziplining through the mountains—were absolute highlights and perfectly planned. We also really appreciated the in-destination support, which gave us extra peace of mind while traveling. Costa Rica was unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Traveltied to anyone looking for a stress-free and thoughtfully planned trip!

We had a great trip to Iceland! Jonnie was wonderful to work with and Traveltied made a logistically challenging trip very seamless allowing us to fully enjoy our once in a lifetime vacation. We had an app that guided our itinerary that allowed for us to carve out some different options each day.
