Stage One → The Discovery

Where it all begins.

We take the time to understand how you travel, how often, what inspires you, and most importantly, how you want to feel on this journey. Every detail matters. From your must haves to your maybes, we listen closely and gather the insights we need to design a trip that is entirely tailored, because no two travelers are alike and neither are the journeys we create.

In this first stage, we handle the heavy lifting so everything that follows feels effortless. And with our VIP membership, your preferences are securely stored for future travels, making each trip even smoother and a little more fun.

Stage Two → The Proposal

Personalized. Thoughtful. Intentional.

We take everything you have shared and translate it into a curated proposal. Think hand picked properties, thoughtfully selected experiences, and a travel flow that reflects your style and pace. This is a collaborative process, and you are involved at every step.

This is where the magic begins to take shape, where ideas become a beautifully crafted itinerary, and we refine every detail until it feels just right.

Stage Three → The Journey

Your best trip, delivered!

This is where we shine. With your personalized itinerary finalized, we work behind the scenes with our most trusted global partners to bring every element to life. From VIP treatment on arrival to unforgettable moments throughout, you simply show up and enjoy, knowing every detail has been thoughtfully planned.

Expect luxury without the logistics, unexpected touches in the best ways, and a level of service that anticipates your needs before you ever speak them.

Stage Four → Let’s Do It Again

One trip leads to another…

The more we travel together, the more we refine your signature travel style. Whether it is a winter escape, a summer sabbatical, or an impromptu weekend away, your next journey is already taking shape.

We are not just designing itineraries, we are curating experiences that reflect your evolving taste in travel, introducing you to new destinations and exclusive opportunities with every trip.

“Not to be overly dramatic but I’ll remember this trip as an old lady on my deathbed. The best part was the perfect mix of culture, adventure and family time. We were so well taken care of with every detail planned by the KBT team that I never once felt stressed - I just got to relax and fully experience the trip!!.”
