Private Transportation & Concierge: How Luxury Travel Advisors Handle Every Detail

Yes. A luxury travel advisor arranges private aviation — jets and helicopter transfers — alongside chauffeured ground transport, coordinating timings and transfers so the entire door-to-door journey is seamless.

Yes. Forest Travel clients have a dedicated advisor and concierge support throughout the journey, handling reservations, experiences and any real-time changes while they travel.

No. Your advisor manages every vendor and reservation on your behalf; you have a single point of contact for the whole trip.

Access. Advisors secure vetted drivers, private transfers and reservations through direct relationships — arrangements that booking platforms cannot offer. See why an advisor beats booking online: /why-forest/.

Usually not, and it matters. A driver knows the roads and the traffic; a guide knows the site, the history and which room to enter first. On a full day we normally arrange both, so the guide is free to walk with you rather than park the car. Where a single English- or Spanish-speaking driver-guide is genuinely the better option, we will say so.

Yes, and it is worth planning early. Beyond about six travellers the vehicle choice narrows sharply in most destinations, and the difference between two comfortable vehicles and one cramped van is the whole day. We size the transport to the party and the luggage rather than to the headcount alone.

You call your advisor, not the local supplier. We reach the operator directly, put a replacement on the way and tell whoever is waiting at the other end that you are running late. Because the booking is ours, we can escalate to the operator's owner rather than a dispatch queue — and support runs 24/7 for the length of the trip.

When you land on a trip arranged by Forest Travel, a chauffeur is already waiting for you. Airport arrivals include meet-and-greet and fast-track, followed by a chauffeured car with a vetted driver. Because flight timings, ground transport and transfer windows are sequenced before departure and monitored on the ground, the car is timed to your actual arrival rather than to a schedule you must manage yourself.

A helicopter transfer makes most sense when it replaces a long drive, for example turning a three-hour road journey into a short private flight. Forest Travel advisors arrange private aviation, both jets and helicopter transfers, and sequence each leg with the chauffeured cars at either end so the day flows. The point is to give the journey's time back to the places you came for, not to the road between them.

Yes. Forest Travel advisors arrange yacht and boat transfers that connect you to private islands, coastlines, a private yacht or a villa. These sea legs are planned as part of the same logistical chain as flights and chauffeured cars, with transfer windows sequenced before departure, so moving from the airport to the water and on to your stay happens without you coordinating a single vendor.

A Forest Travel concierge secures what never appears on a website: restaurant tables that are otherwise impossible to get, private guides, spa and wellness bookings, tickets and access, after-hours cultural access and off-market villas. These come from direct relationships with luxury hotels, private-aviation partners and on-the-ground fixers. In practice, it means a table that "doesn't exist" is confirmed for you.

Yes. Private transportation arranged by a Forest Travel advisor covers more than airports and cars: it includes scenic rail and inter-city connections alongside private aviation, chauffeured vehicles and yacht transfers. Every leg is sequenced together, with flight timings, ground transport and transfer windows set before departure, so a multi-city journey moves as one continuous itinerary rather than a series of separate bookings.
