Why Mood & Map

Not your usual travel agent

Usually

  • You get a link to 300 hotels and sort through them yourself.
  • The price creeps up at checkout with resort fees, transfers and extras.
  • You speak to whoever happens to answer the phone.
  • Once you've paid, you don't hear from them until you're home.

With Mood & Map

  • You get 3 options chosen by a person, with the reason for each.
  • The price in your quote is the price you pay, with everything listed.
  • One planner looks after you from the first question until you're back home.
  • We message you on the day you leave, and you can reach us on WhatsApp throughout.

Questions

What people ask before booking

Do I pay anything for the 3 options?

No. Your options and quote are free, and you only pay once you've chosen a holiday and confirmed the booking.

How do I pay?

When you're happy with your quote, we email you a secure Stripe payment link. You can pay by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay or Google Pay, in GBP or USD. Mood & Map never sees or stores your card details.

Can I cancel, and how do refunds work?

Yes. The charge depends on how close to your holiday you cancel, and refunds go back to your original payment method within 14 days. Read the full cancellations and refunds policy.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. You secure your holiday with a deposit and can spread the balance in instalments, with the final payment due 42 days before your holiday. Your planner sets out the exact dates in your quote.

Is the price on the website the final price?

Website prices are guide prices and change with dates and availability. The price in your written quote is the one you pay, and it lists your hotel, room, board, transfers and experiences.

I'm in the US. Can you plan my trip?

Yes. We plan for travellers in the UK and the US, quote in pounds or dollars, and reply within 24 hours. WhatsApp is the easiest way to reach us from the US, at no cost to you.

Is getting there included?

No. We arrange your accommodation, transfers and experiences. You choose and book your own travel to the destination, and we match transfers and check-in times to your arrival.

What if something goes wrong while I'm away?

Message your planner on WhatsApp and we'll help straight away, whether it's a room problem, a missed transfer or a change of plan.

Do I need a visa?

We'll tell you what's needed for your destination, such as an e-visa for Egypt or Tanzania, and check passport validity rules with you before you book.
