Frequently Asked Questions
Do you book flights and accommodations?
No, we do not provide any bookings. This allows you to have the maximum flexibility and helps save you money! Instead of directly booking tickets and accommodations we provide you with the link to purchase them yourself. As often as possible we try to select agencies with free cancelation policies. Always, we will try and find you the best price.
Do you earn a commission?
Yes we do! This is what allows us to provide our services so affordably. When you book your flights, hotels, and tour tickets we usually receive a commission from the company you book through. Additionally, on our site we have links to purchase products and services from other providers, most of these links also provide us with commissions if you purchase from them. Note: you are not required to book or make any purchases through the links we provide. We do our best to provide you with the best deals, not on which site pays us the highest commission.
How does your service work? / What services can I expect?
At Allio Travel, we offer a tailored travel planning service that combines the efficiency of AI with the personal touch of expert travel advisors to create unique travel experiences for each of our clients. Here’s how our process works and what you can expect:
1. Personalized Questionnaire: Start by completing our detailed questionnaire that covers your preferences, interests, and the type of experience you are looking for. This allows us to understand your expectations and tailor our services accordingly.
2. Custom Travel Plans: Based on your responses, our AI generates an initial travel itinerary that our team of travel experts then refines. This plan includes destination suggestions, daily activities, and recommendations that align with your travel style.
3. Booking Assistance: Once you approve the itinerary, we can assist with finding flights, accommodations, and any special activities included in your travel plans. Our goal is to find options that offer the best value and meet your needs.
4. Comprehensive Travel Guides: For travelers looking for a deeper dive into their destination, we provide personalized travel guides. These guides cover language basics, cultural norms, historical insights, and even current affairs relevant to your destination. They also include practical information like packing lists to help you prepare thoroughly.
5. Ongoing Support: From the moment you start planning until you return home, our team is available to assist with any questions or adjustments you might need. We’re here to ensure your trip is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
6. Post-Trip Feedback: After your journey, we invite you to share your experiences and feedback with us. This helps us continually improve our services and better serve you in the future.

Will my travel planner be available during my trip?
Yes, we are here to support you during your journey! While Allio Travel is not a personal concierge service, and we cannot guarantee immediate assistance for every situation, we always encourage you to reach out to us with any concerns or needs that may arise during your trip. We do our utmost to assist you whenever possible. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive guide for each traveler that includes emergency resources and advice to help you handle unforeseen circumstances confidently.
What if I don’t like my travel itinerary?
What if I have to cancel my trip?
We don’t make any bookings for you. As long you book refundable tickets, you will be able to easily cancel or change your plans independent from our service.
How much does your travel planning service cost?
We offer three tiers of service to cater to different travel needs:
1. Free Itinerary Planning: Get started with no cost! This tier includes AI-generated itineraries based on your responses to our detailed questionnaire. It’s perfect for travelers who need a little inspiration and guidance without a commitment.
2. Customized Travel Guides ($19): Dive deeper into your destination with comprehensive travel guides tailored to your interests. These guides include essential information about the local culture, history, and must-see locations to help you explore like a local.
3. Personalized Booking Assistance ($19): For travelers looking for a more hands-on service, this tier includes personalized assistance in finding the best deals on transportation and accommodations, ensuring you get the most value and convenience during your travels.
