## What Lio handles

- **Bespoke itineraries** — Send your clients’ dates, interests and budget. We plan a realistic route, source the options and build an itinerary with a clear quote, so you can move the sale forward.
- **Hand-picked stays** — From boutique stays to group hotels, we source vetted suppliers, check availability and negotiate rates. You see the costs; we handle reservations and supplier follow-up.
- **Private transport** — Airport pickups, private drivers, group transfers, rail and boats. We book and coordinate the connections and timings, from the first arrival to the last departure.
- **Expert local guides** — Vetted guides chosen around your clients’ interests and language needs. We handle sourcing, bookings and timings, so every visit feels personal and well organised.
- **Events, groups & MICE** — Venues, rooming lists, group transfers and event logistics. One team brings the suppliers and schedules together for your group, incentive, meeting or celebration.
- **Curated experiences** — Private tastings, cultural visits and local experiences worth travelling for. We match the options to your clients and budget, then handle reservations and coordination.

## How it works

01. **Share your clients’ plans** — Share the destinations, dates, group size and budget, or attach the request you already have. We’ll take it from there.
02. **We draft & refine** — We get to work on the itinerary, vetted suppliers and negotiated rates. A first draft itinerary comes back in minutes, then we refine it with you. Every supplier cost is shown and hotel commission is labelled as paid by the hotel.
03. **We run it on the ground** — Once you approve, we handle bookings, supplier coordination and ground arrangements through to departure. You and your guests have 24/7 on-trip support, including help when plans change.
