Every departure has its own private WhatsApp group, opened about six weeks before the trip. Fabio shares the daily plan, tickets, meeting points and local updates there. WhatsApp is free and works on wifi, so set up an eSIM or international plan before you fly. You join only with your permission, and personal details like passports stay in a private chat with Fabio.

Fabio then designs your itinerary for a $450 planning fee, credited in full when you book. Private journeys run from about $650 per person per day, for groups of 6 or more.
