How custom works with a coalition of independent designers
Every igniTours guide is also a researcher. A custom experience gets matched to the designer whose specialty fits, and you get their expertise, not a script.
Your theme, our research
Tell us the interest. We scout the route, confirm access with venues and write the story.
Any group, any pace
From a couple celebrating an anniversary to a multi-bus conference group. Accessible routes on request.
Half day to multi-day
Combine walking, a private cruise, a workshop and meals into one coordinated itinerary.
Examples
Things we have built before
- An architecture crawl of Downtown LA for a visiting design firm

- A food-and-murals walk for a wedding party the day before the ceremony
- A two-day San Francisco orientation for a relocated engineering team

Questions we get asked
How much lead time do you need?
Three weeks for a custom walk, six weeks or more for multi-day programs, since venue access and research take time.
Is the estimate in the builder binding?
No. It is a range based on our standard rate card so you can budget before you reach out. The written quote is the real price.
Do you run custom experiences outside LA and SF?
Occasionally in the Bay Area and Greater LA. Ask, and we will be honest about whether we can do it well.
What is the deposit and cancellation policy?
A 30% deposit holds the date and covers research. It is refundable up to 14 days before the event; the balance is due 7 days before.
