Simply search your destination and book with one of our fully vetted local advisors! Once you’ve booked, our team will reach out to coordinate a time that works for you and your advisor.

From there, it’s all about you. There’s no set structure for the conversation; your video session is completely collaborative and tailored to your travel plans and interests. You can ask questions, get advice, and discuss whatever you need for your trip.

Once the consultation ends, you’ll receive a personalized Trip Summary with all of the intel and recommendations you and your Advisor covered in your session—so you don’t have to worry about taking notes!

And because we know questions may pop up as you finalize plans, we offer dedicated space to ask follow up questions — so you never feel lost.

Not sure which advisor is best? Drop us a note and a member of the Ella team will work with you to match you with the advisor best suited for your destination and personal travel style.

Want more time? Just DM us on WhatsApp or email us and a member of our team will help you book additional time.

Step 1: Pick the advisor and consultation length that’s right for you — either 30m for quick recs and short trips, or 60m for longer, more complex trips and challenging destinations.

Step 2: Book in, noting your preferred date(s) and time(s) for a consultation in the "check out" process.

Step 3: Once booked, we will send you a pre-travel questionnaire to gather more details to ensure we match you with an advisor who matches your vibe. A member of the Ella Travel team will coordinate a time for your session, using your preferred dates and times and send you both a calendar invite to join the call.

Every Advisor in our network is carefully vetted through a multi-step verification process to ensure she’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable, and uniquely equipped to help independent travelers plan their dream trip.

Our Advisors are savvy, knowledgeable women with unique perspectives on their destinations. From sommeliers and pastry chefs to art insiders and modern historians to sun-seekers and nature lovers, they bring deep local expertise to every trip. And, as women, they inherently understand the importance of safety, authenticity, and connection while traveling.

PS - Want to become one? Click here to get started.

You can ask anything travel-related, from whether (and where) it’s safe to walk alone at night to practicalities like how to get around, and how much time is needed in a particular destination. Looking for more authentic things to do? Your Local Advisor will share her go-to neighborhood spots and steer you to a hyper-local Italian cooking class taught by a beloved nonna. She’ll also be quick to jump in and let you know if something you’re considering doing is overrated—and tell you what to do instead.

We are adding new destinations every week, but if you happen to be planning a trip somewhere that we don’t yet have a match drop us an email; we may be able to recommend other resources.
