Travel Agency in Boise, Idaho: Vacation Packages, Cruises and Guided Tours
My Travel Innovations plans and books vacations for travelers from Boise and anywhere else. We are an independent agency, not an airline, a hotel, a cruise line or a tour operator. A quote is free, we add no booking fee of our own, and no page of this site asks you for a card.
Eight packages, priced from
Every package below is described the same way, by six questions with the same six answers, so two trips can be compared without reading two different sales pitches. Prices are per person for two people sharing, and every one of them is a starting figure confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Look up a flight yourself
The search below is run by an outside booking service on a subdomain of this address, not by this office. Any booking, any payment and any change after it belongs to that service under its own terms, and My Travel Innovations is not a party to it. Where a booking follows a search begun here, this office may be paid a commission out of that service's own margin, and the fare is the same either way.
This office publishes no fares of its own and quotes none here: the numbers come back from the service running the search and change without telling us. What the search is sets out what leaves the browser and what it refuses.

What an agency is for
You can book a flight yourself. Almost everybody does, and we would not pretend otherwise.
What is harder alone is the trip with parts: a cruise with a connecting flight that must not be missed, a family that needs two rooms that actually adjoin, three cities joined by trains you cannot read the timetable for, or a week away that has to work for four people who want different things.
That is the work here. We ask what the trip is for, we bring back options with the prices broken apart, we book what you choose with the supplier, and we send you one document with everything on it.
How it works, in short
- You tell us roughly what you want. Dates can be vague. Budget can be vague. Nobody is committed to anything.
- We come back with two or three options, each with the price broken into its parts, and each with the reasons against it as well as for it.
- You choose, or you do not. There is no charge either way and nobody will telephone you repeatedly.
- We book it with the supplier and send you the confirmations in writing.
- You pay the supplier, on their schedule, which is in the proposal before you agree to anything.
- You get one document with the whole trip on it, and a number that reaches a person during office hours.
The longer version, with what can go wrong at each step.
What we do not say
Most of what an agency writes about itself is unverifiable, so this site is built the other way round. Every claim on it has a page behind it, and the claims we cannot stand behind are named too, along with who would have to stand behind them instead.
| Claim | On this site | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A free quote, with no obligation | Stated | Stated. What stands behind it is the form on request a quote, whose first line says that asking costs nothing and commits nobody. No traveler pays this office to be quoted. |
| No booking fee charged by this agency | Stated | Stated, and it is narrow on purpose: this agency adds no fee of its own to what a supplier charges. It says nothing about what the supplier charges, which is on pricing in full. |
| A line answered at any hour | Not stated | The office answers Mon to Fri 9 am to 6 pm, Sat 10 am to 2 pm Mountain. Claiming any hour would take somebody sitting here at three in the morning, and nobody does. |
| Licensed and bonded | Not stated | Idaho does not license travel agencies and this company holds no bond. No license number and no bond number appears anywhere on this site. Printing one would be borrowing somebody else's. |
| Registered seller of travel | Not stated | California, Florida, Hawaii and Washington register sellers of travel, and this company is registered in none of them. It therefore takes no payment, holds no client money, and prints no registration number. |
| Industry accreditation | Not stated | This company holds no industry accreditation and displays no association logo. A badge without the membership behind it is the same thing as an invented number. |
| A price match | Not stated | Matching a price means promising to beat a market this office does not control. What it does instead is show what a figure is made of, on pricing, so it can be compared honestly. |
| Flexible cancellation | Not stated | Cancellation terms belong to the supplier holding the booking, and they differ by trip. Every proposal states them in writing before anything is committed. The policy. |
| Offices across the country | Not stated | One office, in Boise. It works with travelers anywhere, and that is a different sentence from having offices anywhere. |
