Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What does LEATA do?
A. LEATA is a travel agency that specializes in both planning and booking tailor-made immersive luxury, wellness, and adventure travel experiences using a global network of insider connections. Our expert planning and attentive guidance ensures every trip is seamless, extraordinary, and leaves lasting memories that go above and beyond our client’s expectations.
Q. Why should I work with a travel advisor when I can just book travel online myself?
A. Sure… you could book your own travel directly with a hotel or airline or through various online booking engines. Chances are, you’ll spend lots of frustrating hours researching what might be available to you at your desired destination(s) – matching dates with reservations, and then hoping you’ve contacted the right people at the kinds of places for which you’re looking. Maybe you’re thinking of using a standard travel agent who can book a trip, but it might be limited to just what they have access to. That all sounds pretty standard…and stressful.
Planning travel through LEATA brings certain advantages:
PROTECTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY
We have first-hand knowledge – We’ve been there, seen the quality of the hotels and dining destinations, know the locations, and all the little quirks of places. Most importantly, we take the time to get to know you, the traveler. We make certain to match you with the experiences you desire.
You won’t waste your valuable time and money on the wrong trip, even if it might seem like a “good deal.” We truly believe life is too short to take a bad trip.
LESS HASSLE
There’s so much information on the internet related to travel that it’s difficult to know what’s accurate and what’s rubbish. Thanks to our expertise, we can zero in on the best options in a timely manner – saving you valuable time by perusing through all the time-consuming details. That means you’re not on hold for hours only to be cut off once you finally reach an actual person. It means you don’t have to stress about whether you booked two excursions at the same time…We’ve got this!
SPECIAL TREATMENT
There’s a saying in the travel world: “You can’t VIP yourself.” Thanks to our relationships with travel suppliers and hospitality providers, we can often get our clients amenities, upgrades and other special VIP touches. It’s something you won’t get booking with a travel engine, and it’s one of the things that makes booking with LEATA so special!
ON DEMAND SUPPORT
Our job doesn’t stop once you’ve booked your trip. We’re always one phone call away if you have questions, concerns or you any need assistance. If you experience an unexpected occurrence (and we do everything we can to make sure you don’t) such as a missed connection, or lost baggage; you can rest assured we’ll take care of it for you.
Q. What are your rates/fees?
A. At LEATA, we understand that each client is unique. Based on the elements of what clients need when they travel and the complexity of the itinerary, fees will be quoted after the complimentary discovery consultation and before we move forward with our proposal.
Q. Why aren’t you affiliated with Virtuoso if you specialize in luxury?
A. While we appreciate and respect what Virtuoso does, we decided to go in a direction that better aligns with our goals, values, and standards for our clients, which is why we became an independent agency with Nexion Travel Group, a Travel Leaders Network member. Travel Leaders Network is the largest seller of luxury travel, cruises, river cruises, and tours in the travel agency industry; has over 300 global partners; is rated as North America’s #1 Travel Agent Network; and the Forbes 2026 Most Trusted Company in America.
