Travel planning

Private family trips to Brazil

Planning and concierge assistance are included within an agreed transport and/or protection engagement.

Make room for everyone’s version of a good holiday. A beach afternoon, a museum visit and an early dinner may work better than a long checklist of sights. We help shape the visit around your family’s interests, pace and existing bookings.

Choose bases before adding activities

Start with how often the family wants to move hotels. Rio can anchor a city-and-coast visit; São Paulo may fit dining, culture or commitments already on the calendar. Compare the time spent transferring with the experiences another destination would add. Leave an arrival day flexible rather than relying on an immediate excursion.

Compare a hotel base with a private home

A hotel can suit a visit centered on a convenient base and on-site services. A private home can suit time together and more living space, but compare its location, access, housekeeping, meals and cancellation terms with the rest of the itinerary. When using more than one property, plan the journeys between them as well as the outings.

If you found accommodation yourself, bring the confirmed arrangements into the conversation. Ask who coordinates the property handover, who supplies each local service and who approves changes. Confirm the daily vehicle and protection scope separately from the accommodation price, including hours and overtime.

Define practical needs without oversharing

Share ages or age ranges, room preferences, luggage, meal timing and any mobility or child-seat requirements that affect arrangements. Request supplier confirmation for seats, room configurations and age rules. Childcare, medical support and dedicated protection are separate requirements; a family-planning inquiry does not include them automatically. If dedicated protection is the need, VIP family travel protection explains that separate discussion.

What will our family-trip proposal cover?

The proposal brings the family’s preferred pace together with room configurations, requested child seats, meal timing and local arrangements. It sets out the responsible suppliers, reservation holder and payer, service hours, fees and items needing confirmation. Childcare or dedicated protection requires a separately agreed scope.

A family holiday, or help with plans already made

Tell us what each person would enjoy, how often you want to change bases and which bookings are confirmed. If an assistant, family office or advisor is arranging the visit, name the approver and who holds each booking; leave sensitive personal details for the appropriate private conversation. Family-office planning explains the arranger’s responsibilities. Explore Brazil planning and concierge or Rio planning ideas.
