🌍 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸?

Three very different holidays. Three very different ways to see the world…

🇨🇳 China – an incredible touring adventure with Wendy Wu Tours
🇪🇸 Malaga – sunshine and a relaxing escape with Jet2holidays
🇳🇴 Norwegian Fjords – spectacular scenery from the water with P&O Cruises

It’s one of the things we love about what we do — no two travellers, or holidays, are quite the same.

From an escorted adventure across China to Spanish sunshine or cruising through Norway’s fjords, being independent means we can work with a wide range of travel partners to find the holiday that’s right for each of our clients.

Which one would you choose? ✈️

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞… 🚢

Riviera’s 2028 river cruises are now on sale, and there are some wonderful journeys to discover. 🚢

From the vineyard-lined Douro to Budapest and the Black Sea, river cruising offers a wonderfully relaxed way to explore — unpack once, watch the scenery change and arrive in the heart of fascinating places. 🚢

There are also dedicated departures for solo travellers. 🚢

Perhaps 2028 is the year to see Europe a little differently.

Lovely to get some recognition from the specialist travel trade for a great weekend of bookings, but we couldn’t have achieved it without the support of all our loyal customers. Thank you once again Jo & Geoff

(and if you haven’t tried us yet just drop us a quick message before pressing “Book” elsewhere - you will be pleasantly surprised at what we can achieve!)

🇨🇷 COSTA RICA… BUT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

This video from AE Expeditions really caught our attention.

Rather than simply travelling through Costa Rica, imagine exploring its wild coastline by expedition ship — heading ashore by Zodiac to discover lush rainforest, remote shores and incredible wildlife.

🌿 Rainforest. Wildlife. Adventure.
🚤 And access to places you might otherwise never see.

If you’ve thought about Costa Rica before, perhaps this is a way of experiencing it you hadn’t considered.

Would you explore Costa Rica this way? 🇨🇷

🌞 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗨 — 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗔𝗧 𝗔 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥…

This caught our attention.

Once a year, Cusco comes alive for Inti Raymi – the Festival of the Sun, one of Peru’s most important celebrations of its Inca heritage, with traditional costumes, music and ceremonial performances.

Wendy Wu Tours have introduced a special departure of their Panoramic Peru tour, timed so you can experience Inti Raymi as part of the journey.

And it doesn't stop there. The 14-day tour travels through Lima, Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, the Sacred Valley and Cusco, with that unforgettable visit to Machu Picchu. 🇵🇪

For us, this is exactly what makes a touring holiday so interesting — not just seeing a country, but experiencing something you might never see on an ordinary visit.

🌍 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱?

Watching the sun rise over a new landscape. 🌅
Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat. 🐘
Travelling by rail through incredible scenery. 🚂
Discovering places you might never have found on your own.🫕

Touring and adventure holidays have become some of the journeys we most enjoy planning — because no two need to look the same.

They can be comfortable, immersive, slow-paced or adventurous. What matters is coming home feeling like you've really experienced somewhere.

Sometimes a holiday gives you a rest.

Sometimes it gives you stories you'll be telling for years. 💚

Many thanks and appreciated

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ANOTHER 5-STAR REVIEW -💚

One of the nicest things a client can say isn’t just “we had a great holiday” — it’s “we’ll use you again.”

Gregory and his family have trusted us with several very different trips, from a cruise and European short break to their summer holiday.

“We are already planning next year’s and will 100% be using Geoff and Jo.”

Thank you, Gregory. It means a great deal to have clients return to us year after year. 💚
