Maria’s trip, step by step
Eight steps. Every partner knows where they stand at each one.
Step 1
Maria finds a trip
She picks a trip a licensed guide has built — or tells us what she dreams of, and we send her up to 3 trips to choose from.
Step 2
A licensed guide leads it
The guide plans it day by day: the hotels and home stays, the activities, the Local Experts and the drives.
Step 3
Every price comes first
Each price is read from that partner’s own calendar, for Maria’s exact dates. She sees the full price before she pays anything.
Step 4
She asks for changes
A different hotel, one more day by the sea. The guide adjusts the plan, and the price follows.
Step 5
She approves and pays the deposit
20% of the trip. From this moment the price is fixed.
Step 6
Every partner confirms
Sarisara asks each partner to confirm Maria’s dates. If one cannot, we offer Maria a replacement — and change nothing without her yes.
Step 7
The balance
Maria pays the rest 60 days before she arrives.
Step 8
The trip
Maria travels with her guide — and afterwards, she tells us how it went.
