What the quote is made of

Every line priced from real rates.

7hotel stays

8private transfers

17guided days & experiences

4booked meals

Five-star city hotels in the capitals, a sea hotel on the spit, a palace hotel and two restored manor estates.

In Deer Track each of these is a line from the operator’s own catalog, with its net rate. Hotels bill per room per night, guides and cars per group, tickets per person — so the per-person price is right for two travellers and still right for six. The operator chooses markup or margin once for the trip, and the total updates as the trip is built. See the maths in the free tour price calculator.

Why it is built this way

Notes from the operator.

Long drives are broken with a stop that is worth the day — Trakai, the Hill of Crosses, Sigulda — so a transfer never reads as a travel day.
Three nights on the Curonian Spit, not one: the spit is the trip's quiet centre, and a single night would be spent mostly in the car.
Single nights later in the route sit in characterful places (a palace, a manor), which makes the faster second half feel deliberate.
Every leg is a private car with the same guide, priced once per vehicle — the per-person price falls as the group grows.

On the client’s phone

One link, no attachments.

The client receives a branded web link, not a PDF. It reads well on a phone, is refreshed in one click after the operator edits the trip, and lets the client accept it, ask for changes or pay a deposit. The operator sees when it was opened.
