Bespoke itineraries, hand-picked hotels, and private aviation — all arranged free via AI concierge. Faster than traditional agents, at no cost to you.

Start planning your trip

Tailor-made vs package holidays

A package holiday is chosen from a menu. A tailor-made holiday is built from scratch around you. Your interests, your pace, your budget, your dates — every element selected specifically for your trip.

The traditional problem with tailor-made travel has always been time and cost. Human travel advisors take days to research options, weeks to produce an itinerary, and charge planning fees of £150-500 per trip (or build it into inflated pricing).

Stirling Access changes this equation. Our AI concierge processes thousands of options in seconds, produces a bespoke itinerary within minutes, and charges nothing. You get the bespoke experience without the bespoke price tag or timeline.

How Stirling Access creates your bespoke itinerary

From message to complete itinerary in minutes. Here is how it works:

1

Send one message

WhatsApp, voice note, or web chat. “Plan me 2 weeks in Japan for April — food-focused, mix of city and countryside, luxury ryokans, budget around £10k per person.”

2

AI builds your itinerary

Our AI analyses your request, researches flights, hotels, restaurants, and experiences, checks availability, and constructs a day-by-day itinerary tailored to your interests and budget.

3

Iterate until perfect

“Can we add a night in Kyoto?” “What about flying private from London?” “I want a better hotel in Tokyo.” The itinerary updates instantly. No waiting days for a revised quote.

4

We book everything

Flights, hotels, restaurants, experiences, transfers, private guides. You receive a complete trip — confirmations, logistics, and a day-by-day plan you can follow or ignore as you choose.

The cost of tailor-made travel

A common misconception is that tailor-made always means more expensive. In reality, bespoke planning can save money by eliminating elements you do not need and finding the best rates for elements you do.

Traditional tailor-made agents add their margin on top of travel costs — typically 10-20%. Stirling Access is free. We earn a small referral commission from hotels, airlines, and experience providers when you book through us. You pay the same price (or less) as booking direct.

The result: tailor-made travel at package-holiday planning effort and cost. One WhatsApp message, minutes to your first itinerary, unlimited revisions, and zero planning fees.

Frequently asked questions

What is a tailor-made holiday?

A tailor-made holiday is a trip designed specifically for you, rather than selected from a brochure. Every element — flights, hotels, activities, dining, transfers — is chosen based on your preferences, budget, and travel style. No two tailor-made holidays are the same.

Are tailor-made holidays more expensive than packages?

Not necessarily. While some bespoke elements cost more, a tailor-made approach often finds better value by matching your exact needs — no paying for extras you don't want. Stirling Access is free to use, so there's no planning fee on top of your travel costs.

How is Stirling Access different from Scott Dunn or Kuoni?

Speed and cost. Traditional tailor-made agents take days or weeks to produce an itinerary and charge a planning fee or markup. Stirling Access AI produces a bespoke itinerary within minutes, works 24/7, and is completely free. We earn a small referral commission from travel partners.

Can AI really plan a bespoke holiday as well as a human?

For most trips, yes — and often faster and with more options. AI processes thousands of hotels, flights, and experiences instantly. For extremely complex or unusual requests, our AI works alongside human expertise to ensure nothing is missed.

What information do you need to plan my trip?

The basics: destination (or 'surprise me'), dates, group size, budget range, and any must-haves (beach, culture, adventure, relaxation). The more you tell us, the better the itinerary. Even a voice note describing your dream trip is enough to start.

Can I change things after you send the itinerary?

Absolutely. The first itinerary is a starting point. Want to swap a hotel? Add a day trip? Upgrade to private jet? Just reply and the plan adapts instantly. Iterate as many times as you like — there is no limit and no charge.
