Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work? 

When you select one of our destinations, we’ll ask you to complete a form to capture your preferences and any other relevant details. You’ll receive a personalized itinerary tailored to your needs, typically within a week. There are no fees or obligations to complete the form and receive your itinerary. If any modifications are needed, we’ll request the service fee before proceeding. Once you approve your itinerary, we’ll finalize the payment and book your selections. If you’d prefer to discuss anything over the phone, simply click 'Contact Us' to schedule a call at your convenience.


What happens after my trip is booked?

Prior to your departure, you will receive digital and physical copies of your trip details and information about the country you are visiting. Our goal is to provide you with everything you need to know. We don’t want you to have to research anything. We’re here for anything you need throughout the entire process, from initial contact through the end of your trip. 


What is the vetting process like?

We’ve personally visited every destination we feature because we believe firsthand experience is the best way to ensure that each location and supplier meets our high standards. We’re committed to rolling out the red carpet for you, and we expect the same level of excellence from our trusted suppliers.


Can I request a destination not listed on your site?

We’d love to hear about your bucket list! However, please note that not every destination you suggest may be featured on our site. We only offer destinations that we have personally vetted to ensure they meet our high standards. While we cannot accommodate one-off custom requests, if enough people express interest in a particular destination, we’ll consider it for vetting. If it meets our criteria, we’ll be excited to feature it on our site.


How are you able to have large-agency resources and boutique services?

Niksen Travel is an affiliate of Uniglobe Travel Center (UTC). UTC is a member of Virtuoso, the leading global network of agencies specializing in luxury and experiential travel. Through these relationships, we are able to offer unique experiences, special values, complimentary perks, VIP treatment and rare access. At the same time, Niksen Travel is independently owned and operated. We’re here to give you the personalized attention you deserve and make your travel dreams come true.


Does Niksen Travel offer packaged vacations?

No. Niksen Travel is a travel agency, not a tour operator. We do not offer packaged vacations, and Niksen Travel is not the source or provider of any travel services. Instead, we work with vetted suppliers to build you customized itineraries to destinations we have personally evaluated.


What exciting changes are coming soon?

We’re constantly working on new upgrades to enhance your experience, and we’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of our membership program, offering even more fantastic benefits.
