Which honeymoon is cheaper- self booking or travel agent?

I am getting married at the end of this coming September. My fiance and I would like to take a 2 week honeymoon (one week in Paris and one week in Rome). Would it be cheaper for us to book the trip ourseles, or go through a travel agent?

If you find a good travel agent that specializes in these places they should not be anymore expensive than a web shop or doing it yourself. Having a valued travel agent behind your travel plans is a GREAT piece of mind. They will know the best areas to stay, what you shouldn't miss, etc. I can say that as in all things, not all travel agents are the same. Find one you feel comortable with and confident in their expertise. remember they do this everyday. This is your honeymoon, focus on that, don't stress on travel plans.

50/50.

Talk to the travel agents for advice. Make notes. Then go home, get on the internet and set your own travel arrangements. YOU can do everything they can do. They just have more experience than you. If you want a programed travel, where you follow the crowd, then they can help. You will enjoy it more by going to a hotel and loking at what's available and choosing your own travels. Don't get trapped into a package. some pacages are good; but allow yourselves time to do what YOU want to do. One or two days should be spent just relaxing and following your feet. Go to the places the tourists don't go. Ask the locals what they like. Been to many places and have found that it is much more fun and enjoyable to just hang loose and go. Make sure you have extra camera batteries before you go.

Self-booking is ALWAYS cheaper than using a travel agent. They have surcharges and get paid by companies to sell their services to you, so you're not always getting the best service or the best price.

For those destinations a travel agent, they can get you net prices from consolidators for you air, which is sold to you with a min. mark up, but it's better then a published fare which you will pay for online, they also have better access too hotels and any tours you may want to do.

Good luck, and congrats!

I'd check both - travel agents will have access to better discounted fares, but add their commission on top, so it really depends on how much commission they add.

You avoid the commission by self booking and may also find special offers.
