Travel Blueprint
Ultra-tailored itineraries & reliable support throughout your trip
What comes with the Travel Blueprint?
First things first. Turkey is a huge country, and Istanbul is a huge city. I don’t believe every tourist is meant to do the same ten things. That’s why I want to figure out what the best travel experience for YOU would be. You should travel the way you want to, not the way you’re told to.
So to have your dream trip (because I know a dream trip is not following around a tour guide and traveling alongside strangers) I will not only plan your trip from start to end but be in contact with you before and during your adventure – if you want, whenever you want. And what the hell, we’ll throw the Phrasebook Plus in there too. It’ll come in handy.
Check out how it works below- and when you’re ready, book a free, 15 minute Discovery Call.

Send us a message or book a discovery call to chat more about what you’re looking for or if you’d like to purchase an alternative service.
That’s another reason to take advantage of the free discovery call. Let’s talk about what you want from your trip, and I can help you out.
Several factors are considered when creating the itinerary, including length of stay, number of travelers, daily activity level, age, identity, lifestyle, personality, hobbies, interests, budget, dietary needs, mobility restrictions, and transportation preferences, among others. No two itineraries are alike. I’d say it’s pretty damn personalized.
Resources for all activities and events are included so if you’re not sure about something you can easily do your own extra research.
Completing the preference form takes 15-30 minutes.
Activities, attractions, hotels, restaurants, transportation, all with links to further resources. Every day includes alternative activities in case plans change, weather conditions aren’t right, or you don’t feel like doing something. Recommendations are based on your interests, not just popular tourist spots.
No, no purchasing or reserving is done. These are just suggestions so you can make your own decisions and do your own thing.
If you need help making a reservation, write me and I will do my best to sort you out.
After your itinerary is designed, you will be contacted about a date and time for our call.
The call will consist of:
- Discussing anything else I should know about what kind of experience you want
- Answering general questions about traveling to Turkey
- Reviewing your itinerary, tweaking what’s necessary before I draft the final
With the Travel Blueprint, you have the option of two 30-minute consultations – one before I make your itinerary, and one after. Otherwise, there will just be one consultation after your itinerary is made.
24/7. Right now, since I am stateside, I have limited working hours, from 17:00-8:00 every day. A Fish in Water team member will be with us shortly to help folks in the mornings and afternoons.
Most messages will be responded to within minutes, but may take up to 30 minutes.
Anytime, but at least two weeks before your arrival in Turkey to ensure enough time for itinerary curation and consultation.
I know. And we can do that. Send me a message and we’ll figure it out.
The service is tailored to your preferences. Specific types of advice or activities can be noted on your preference form and discussed during the consultation.
Yes, we’ve explored all over Turkey, even entering from borders like Syria and Iraq, but creating something like a 10-day itinerary for five different southeastern villages with non-stop sightseeing isn’t our usual deal. If you’re planning a specialized trip, particularly in the eastern regions of Turkey, it is crucial that you get in touch with us before purchasing and we’ll see if the Travel Blueprint is a good fit for you.
Both the consultation and text support are currently only in English. Turkish support is available upon request.
Of course! We are not stingy Netflix. Get the Travel Blueprint for your family, and everyone can have access to the Phrasebook Plus. Good deal.
