Bespoke Luxury Holidays
Holidays come in all shapes and sizes and there will be one to suit you. These are just a few examples of the types of holiday we regularly put together for our clients.
Honeymoons
Every couple is unique, and your honeymoon should be too. Whether your looking for a beach paradise, an African safari or a dazzling New York city break we can help you to venture off on the trip of a lifetime.
family holidays
Whether it’s your first family holiday, or that final fling before your children fly the nest, family holidays are so important as they create lasting memories for years to come.
Luxury Beach Holidays
Fly and flop for the ultimate relaxing holiday by the beach. We’ll find you a barefoot hideaway or a resort for fun in the sun with the family.
Cruises
Escape from everyday life and explore a different destination every day. Cruise the Caribbean, along a European river or go on a polar expedition.
Sporting Holidays
Follow your favourite sporting events around the world with our bespoke tours. We offer premium seats and tickets, transfers and accommodation packages.
Adventure
The adventure of a lifetime is waiting for you… Ziplining through Costa Rica’s rainforest, white-water rafting in the Pyrenees, wildlife watching as you canoe the Zambezi or dog sledding in Lapland. All you need is a sense of adventure and we’ll do the rest.
Road Trips
A great way to explore the landscape and enjoy the sights en route. Keep it close to home in Europe or go further afield to America, New Zealand and beyond. Travel in style sleeping in hotels or hire a Winnebago to immerse yourself in the local surroundings.
Sailing
There’s a sailing holiday for everyone whether, you’re completely new to it or a salty old sea dog with years of experience. Clear waters, warm winds and an adventure are waiting for you.
Skiing
Crisp mountain air, beautiful scenery and cosy accommodation is what makes a skiing holiday special. We’ll take care of all your arrangements right down to ski school and lift passes. We work with small chalet companies, traditional hotels, short breaks, you name it we can fix it!
Safari Holidays
Jaw-dropping adventures that will take you into the heart of the action, whether you’re speeding along dusty roads tracking South Africa’s Big Five, or trekking through the mist on the trail of the mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
City Breaks
Take the opportunity to explore a city for its architecture, arts and culinary expertise, or just escape for the weekend on a romantic getaway. With a city break, the destinations and possibilities are endless.
Personalised Itineraries
Using our knowledge of top destinations, resorts and hotels, we can help you to create a very personal itinerary to match all your holiday plans, from accommodation and excursions to restaurants and activities for your children. As travel consultants we are committed to providing a service that is a cut above the rest.
Testimonials
We have close working partnerships with our preferred tour operators who understand our business and our clients. Here are just a few of the compliments they have paid us recently.
Spectacular Destinations
A few examples of some of our most popular and spectacular destinations. Don’t worry if we haven’t mentioned your ideal destination - we cover the whole world.
Africa
Perfect for honeymooners and intrepid explorers alike. See the Big Five wandering the plains and combine your adventure with a relaxing beach stay or a visit the wine regions. Take in Africa’s natural wonders, breath-taking vistas and iconic sights.
Asia
A vibrant, diverse and welcoming region of the World. From the cities to the rural villages, jungles to the beaches, temple visits to trekking the Himalayas, or watching orangutans and elephants, you will only ever scratch the surface of all Asia has to offer.
Japan
Cherry blossom in the Spring, snow monkeys in Yudanaka, skiing in the winter months, the vibrant breath-taking Tokyo – a foodie’s paradise. Tea ceremonies in Kyoto, the mountainous countryside of Hakone and sporting traditions from sumo to sword dancing – Japan has it all.
Arabia
A region that instantly charms with natural delights and magnificent man-made feats.
Oman, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are our favourites where days can be spent exploring ancient fortresses, haggling in souks, riding a camel through the desert, taking in the sparkling city sites or relaxing poolside.
India & Subcontinent
Whether you’re seeking a cultural journey, spiritual enlightenment, a revitalising health retreat, a wildlife safari or simply time relaxing on a pristine beach, you will fall in love with India and her subcontinent.
Indian Ocean
The Maldives and the Seychelles offer fabulous diving opportunities, palm fringed beaches, barefoot luxury and total relaxation. Mauritius has all of this and more – a playground for golf enthusiasts with courses designed by top golfing names.
Australia
Enjoy the excitement of Sydney, the mystery surrounding the ancient caves of Uluru, delight at seeing the Great Barrier Reef for the first time and marvel at the diverse wildlife of this remarkable country.
New Zealand
If you love the ‘great outdoors’, you’ll love New Zealand’s beautiful landscapes, vast mountain ranges and sweeping coastlines, not to mention its sporting excellence and passion for food and wine.
Europe
Whether you’re taking the family to the Algarve, island hopping on a yacht around the Greek islands or soaking up the culture of a city, Europe has a great deal to offer all the family… not forgetting skiing!
USA & Canada
There’s far more to the USA than Disney, although that’s a family trip worth experiencing! Both the USA and Canada are great for road trips, ranching adventures, city breaks, natural and cultural wonders. Deciding where to visit first will be the hardest decision of all.
Caribbean
Beautiful beaches, clear blue waters and friendly locals are what make the Caribbean so welcoming. From the legendary Sandy Lane in Barbados to charming boutique hideaways, whatever your taste we can find your perfect escape.
South America
South America is steeped in history with dramatic and diverse landscapes. Machu Picchu is an adventurer’s paradise, but there’s jungles, desserts, canyons and volcanos to explore across the continent too.
