Why Us

Why travelers hand us the planning.

We design tailored travel experiences that reflect your personal style.


ABOUT CRAFTED ESCAPES

Founded by Annie Chambers in 2016, Crafted Escapes has grown to a bi-coastal team of ten advisors. We plan honeymoons, family trips, destination weddings, safaris, cruises and group retreats. We bring firsthand knowledge, hotel relationships, and VIP perks to every customized itinerary.

What Changes When We Plan Your Trip

TIME BACK

Planning a trip well means hours of reading reviews, comparing rates, and coordinating bookings. We start with a conversation about how you like to travel, then handle the hotels, transfers, guides, and reservations. You review one itinerary instead of fifty browser tabs.

TASTE

Our advisors travel constantly to see properties in person. When we suggest a hotel in the Cotswolds or a guide in nPatagonia, one of us has stayed there or worked with them. You get recommendations with reasons behind them.

CARE

Before you check in, we brief our hotel contacts on your preferences, dietary needs, and arrival time. The team on the ground knows who you are before you walk through the door.

KIND WORDs

"Nothing could have prepared us for this absolutely stunning, perfect, magical trip. Surprised at every turn. Best service ever. Truly beyond our expectations x 10. We’re spoiled forever!"

— Friends Trip to southern Africa

"The Trip of a lifetime."

— Couples trip to the Dolomites & Venice

"I mentioned a couple things I wanted to see in Japan and she included them and even more for me to explore!"

— Family Trip to Japan

The tours and activities were private and well thought out. The icing on the cake, was the private driver/guide we had throughout our trip. He was friendly, kind, courteous, and went above and beyond in his duties. We feel we now have a bona fide friend in Scotland. 

— Family trip to Scotland

“Such a fabulous experience the whole way through. Thoughtful, family specific and high attention to detail!”

— Family trip to Norway
