FAQs for Concierge & Tour Planning Service
The most frequently asked questions about Simply Driven’s concierge and trip-planning service.
What itinerary planning services do you offer?
We offer three options:
- Consultation ($50) – A 30-minute call, web meeting, or Zoom to review what you’re thinking for your day
- Full Itinerary Planning with Simply Driven Driver ($150) – We plan your entire day and make all reservations, and you book us as your driver
- Full Itinerary Planning without Driver ($250) – We plan your entire day and make all reservations, but you’re using your own transportation
What’s the difference between a consultation and full itinerary planning?
A consultation is a 30-minute conversation where you share what you’re thinking for your day and we give you feedback as local experts. Full itinerary planning means we take over: we organize your day, make all winery reservations, coordinate timing, and handle all the logistics.
Do I need to book your driving service to get itinerary planning help?
No. Anyone can book a $50 consultation to review their plans with us. For full itinerary planning, we offer it even if you’re not using us as your driver ($250). However, if you book us as your driver, full planning is only $150.
If I book you as my driver, is the consultation free?
Yes! The consultation is included free when you book our driving service. We do this naturally as part of making sure we have a great day together.
Why is full itinerary planning more expensive if I don’t book you as driver?
The $250 reflects the full value of our 12+ years of wine country expertise, relationships with wineries, and the time investment in creating your perfect itinerary. When you book us as your driver, we discount it to $150 because we’re already working together for your day.
When does each option make sense?
Consultation: You have ideas for your day and want to bounce them off a local expert
Full Planning: You want us to handle all the details and coordinate everything
What does the consultation include?
A 30-minute call, or web meeting, where you share what you’re thinking for your wine country day, and we give you feedback as local experts. You bring your ideas and we help you think through them.
What does the full itinerary planning include?
You’ll fill out a questionnaire about your wine preferences, group dynamics, and budget. Then we’ll have a conversation to really understand what you’re looking for. Based on that, we’ll organize your entire day and make all necessary winery appointments using a credit card you provide for the reservation deposits.
Does full itinerary planning include making winery reservations?
Yes. Full planning includes us making all the winery appointments and handling all coordination.
Can you customize our day to include specific wineries we want to visit?
Absolutely. When we plan your itinerary, we work with your preferences to build your complete itinerary. If there are specific wineries you have in mind, we’ll incorporate them. If you want our recommendations based on your tastes, we’ll suggest places we think you’ll love. For consultations, you bring your ideas and we give you feedback.
Can you help with hotel and restaurant recommendations?
For full planning services, our focus is primarily on wineries, but we’re happy to give recommendations for hotels and dinner restaurants. For consultations, you can ask us anything – we’ve been doing this for 12 years and know the area well.
Can I start with a consultation and upgrade to full planning later?
Yes. If you do a consultation and then decide you want us to take over and do full planning, we can do that. We would simply apply your consultation fee toward the full planning fee.
If I already have a planned itinerary, do I need any of these services?
Nope! If you’ve already planned your itinerary and made your reservations, there’s no need to hire us to do it. Just book your driver and you’re all set.
When do we discuss our itinerary?
For consultations, you schedule a 30-minute call at a time that works for both of us. For full planning, after you pay and fill out the questionnaire, we’ll reach out to schedule a conversation to discuss your preferences and finalize details.
What is your cancellation policy for itinerary planning?
For the $50 consultation, you can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your scheduled call. For full planning services, once we’ve completed the planning and made your reservations, the fee is non-refundable as we’ve invested time and secured your bookings.
