What you need help doing

Create a custom heritage itinerary

An itinerary turns research into days: which places, in what order, with what time allowed, and what to do when a plan does not survive contact with a rural road.

Who this is for

  • You have research and want it turned into a workable trip.
  • You are travelling with family and need a realistic pace.
  • You want research, travel, and visits coordinated together.

What you should already have

  • Documented or well-supported places to build around
  • Travel dates, group composition, and mobility needs
  • A sense of what matters most if time runs short

What a provider may be able to do

  • Build a day-by-day plan connecting places, records, and people
  • Coordinate repository visits, guides, and transport
  • Balance heritage sites with rest and ordinary travel

What a provider cannot guarantee

  • Access to every site, particularly on private land
  • That research will be complete before the trip
  • Weather, road conditions, or opening arrangements

What to prepare

  • Your research summary and any reports you hold
  • A prioritised list of places and why each matters
  • Budget, pace preferences, and any fixed commitments

Questions to ask before hiring someone

  • How do you handle places that turn out to be inaccessible?
  • What is included in the plan, and what do I book myself?
  • How much time do you allow at each site?
  • Can the plan be adjusted while we are travelling?
