The Kohomada 20% Guarantee
Most travel companies don’t tell you how pricing works. We do.
Every Kohomada trip is priced the same way:
Actual local cost + 20%.
That’s it.
Note: To confirm your tour with us, you will have to pay the actual cost as an advance upfront. And the 20% guarantee should be paid at the airport when we pick you up.
What does that mean?
If a hotel costs $200 a night,
you pay $240.
If a driver costs $100 for the day,
you pay $120.
No hidden markups.
No “premium partner rates.”
No mystery math.
Why 20%?
Because planning a good trip takes work.
– Figuring out the right route
– Matching you with the right stays
– Finding drivers who won’t ruin your trip and guides who travel with you
– Booking everything
– Being available when things change (they always do)
That 20% is what keeps all of that running. Nothing more.
Why this matters
If you’ve ever planned a trip yourself, you know the drill:
Open 20 tabs. Compare 15 hotels. Message 5 drivers. Hope everything works out. We do all of that with you — and for you. But the important part is this:
You’re not paying 2x or 3x what things cost locally.
You’re paying almost exactly what it would have cost —
plus a small, transparent margin.
No packages. No markups.
We don’t sell fixed packages.
We don’t push specific hotels because they pay us more.
We don’t optimize for commission.
We optimize for your trip.
Sometimes that means a boutique stay.
Sometimes it’s a simple guesthouse with incredible food.
Sometimes it’s both.
What you’re actually paying for
You’re not paying for “a tour.” You’re paying for:
A trip that actually fits how you want to travel
Local knowledge without the guesswork
Flexibility when plans change
People on the ground who have your back
