Questions About Planning Your Trip? We’ve Got Answers.

You’ll get a real travel advisor who listens first, then builds a trip around you — flights, hotels, tours, transfers, and even travel insurance if you need it.

We handle the logistics so your vacation feels effortless from the start. You simply choose your favorite options and look forward to the trip.

No — we never charge a fee just to meet or plan with you.

Our consultations are completely free because we’re paid by our travel partners when you book.

That means you get professional guidance at no extra cost and the peace of mind that we’re here to help, not upsell.

For the best prices and resort choices, plan six to twelve months ahead.

If you’re eyeing holidays or school breaks, earlier is even better.

But don’t worry — if you’re booking last-minute, our team knows which partners can still deliver a smooth, affordable getaway.

Both! Whether it’s a weekend in Chicago or a bucket-list adventure in Europe, the Caribbean, or Asia, we can handle it.

Our advisors travel often themselves, so you’ll get firsthand recommendations — not just online reviews — for destinations around the world.

Yes — we serve travelers across central Iowa, including Johnston, Urbandale, Waukee, and Des Moines.

Virtual consultations make planning easy no matter where you live, and local clients are always welcome to stop by for a face-to-face visit.

We specialize in leisure travel — from beach resorts and cruises to guided European tours, honeymoons, and family vacations.

Because our team personally visits many destinations each year, we can recommend experiences we’ve truly enjoyed ourselves.

Online sites show prices; we show possibilities.

We compare real options, find perks you might miss, and handle every change or issue for you.

That way, you save hours of research and travel with confidence knowing an expert is just a phone call away.

Absolutely. From destination weddings and family reunions to anniversary trips and river cruises, we coordinate everything — flights, rooms, transfers, and special requests.

Our group specialists make sure everyone’s itinerary lines up perfectly so you can simply enjoy the trip together.

Life happens — and when it does, we take care of it for you.

Your advisor will contact airlines, resorts, or tour partners to adjust plans and minimize fees.

You’ll never be left on hold or alone trying to fix last-minute changes.

Real Stories from Our Happy Travelers

“Just returned from a trip to London & Paris that Allied Travel helped us plan. They arranged flights, hotels and train links. Their travel specialist was very accommodating and was happy to help us keep searching till we found the hotels we wanted. These ended up being nicer than we expected. This is the second time we have used Allied Travel to help us arrange a trip to Europe. We plan on using them again for future overseas trips.”

“Our wedding was perfect! We had around 40 family and friends at our wedding in Cancun. That was a lot of coordinating! Thankfully Allied Travel took all of the stress and worry off of our plates! They really allowed us the opportunity to enjoy our wedding and our honeymoon at another resort! The hardest part will be deciding where we want to go next! Allied Travel will do all of our resort and vacation planning from here on out! Thank you again!! 5 Stars, A+, 10/10, truly the highest praised rating available!”

“My husband and I were connected to Allied Travel through a friend and we could not have been happier we did. Outside of booking our own flight, they helped us find our hotels and activities while in Hawaii for our honeymoon. When one hotel put us in a different room than what we paid for, Allied Travel was on top of it and had the situation worked out within an hour…at 11 pm CST. Not being someone that enjoys trip planning, we will absolutely utilize their services for future trips!”
