How we work
From our first conversation to your confirmed trip.
The first call
A get-to-know-you conversation about how you like to travel and what matters most. We walk through how we work, the planning fee, and a timeline.
The proposal
A custom itinerary that reflects your travel style, refined together until every detail feels right. It’s yours to keep, whatever you decide.
Booked, and beyond
Flights, hotels, transfers, and experiences confirmed, with a clear itinerary and a pre-departure walk-through. Then all you do is pack.
In their words
Trusted with the trips that matter most.

Working with Red Tail Travel to plan Trey’s 40th birthday trip was an absolute dream. I lost count of how many times he said, ‘This is incredible.’
There is no way we would have had such a great trip without Red Tail. The planning was amazing and took so much of the worry and stress out of it for us.
Flawless. We cannot believe how perfect every aspect of the trip was. We had no issues during the whole trip.
From our first communication, throughout the trip and thereafter, Susie provided extremely thorough, professional service. She listened to our interests and came through for an unforgettable 40th anniversary celebration.
Everything went perfectly. I loved Zermatt, the town, the skiing, and the hotel was great. Susie saved me a lot of headaches traveling to a part of the world I hadn’t been before.
I cannot express how much we have loved every step. You have outdone yourself. This has been a trip to remember.
The planning process with Red Tail Travel was exceptional. Seeing a baby orca surfing below our balcony on our ship’s wake was an incredible moment in time. It was a great trip that we will never forget.
Meet the founder
It started with an atlas and a backyard playhouse.
Before Red Tail, Susie Hawkins spent years as a paralegal in top law firms, sharpening the research, organization, and precision that now go into every multi-stop itinerary. The first international flight, to France at age seven, is where the love of travel began.
