I've friends who can travel spontaneously without itinerary. I also have another group of friends who are like me: we need to know where we are going and what we are doing when... whether we do it or not is another thing lol. Basically when I travel, I need an itinerary, but I don't have time for research and planning. This is where the travel planner comes into place.
We hired the services of Reve Planner, Pamela. She basically plans a tailornade itinerary with instructions and details on how to get from one place to another.
Check out her website at http://www.reveplanner.com/
Tip: We gave her details of exactly what we wanted to see, how much budget we have overall, what type of budget we have for food, things we like to eat, what we would like to experience, what kind of travelling style we like (Eg shop and eat, nature vs historical and sight-seeing etc). And she works out the details for you. Just be sure to tell her what you like and not like. If there's anything that you are not sure of ask. Ask. Ask. Ask. Communicate with her. And leave the rest to her :)
She will meet up with you once to take a brief from you. Then another 1 or 2 times to run through a detailed brief to explain the route and how to get from one place to another. Ask as many questions as you can so that there's no missing links. It takes two to tango, so just tango all the way!
It could be overwhelming with all the details and facts to remember, writing them down and having another person to listen with you is most helpful.
With her recommendations, we've tasted really interesting Ramen like Black Miso Ramen, found the grilled scallop stall at Tsukji Market, eaten yakitori under the rail track and so much more! Some of which, even friends residing in Tokyo were not aware until we shared with them. It made our trip to Japan so much more interesting!
Have fun the RevePlanner way!
