From one coast to another...

10 times a year I make the trip from Ayrshire all the way down to the Isle of Wight to visit my parents. It's a 500-mile trek of ferries, trains, planes.

But it never gets old, and it's worth every single step ❤️

This is one of the easiest routes I take...

Because no-one talks about price… 👇

Acadia Travel is all about being open, honest and planning unforgettable trips. I’m not incentivised by commission or contracts with big suppliers – I hate a hard sell! My job is to simply plan the perfect itinerary around your preferences, find the best way to book everything and pass the savings directly on to you.

To show what I mean, here is a complete breakdown of everything Mhairi & I paid for our 7-night Tuscany holiday (June 2026):

✈️ BA reward flights from EDI: £190 + 20k Avios
🏨 1 night B&B in Florence: £76
🏡 6 night Agriturismo B&B: £734
🚗 Car hire from the airport: £190 (7 days)
🍕 All food, meals out, drinks: £250
€ Euros for local spending: £80
⛽ Petrol: £40

Total spend: £1560
Per person: £780

The car hire could have been ~£50 cheaper for a manual car, but we wanted an automatic for the convenience of driving on Italian roads and through the hills.

I’ve put a link to our farm stay accommodation in the comments below 🔗👇

If this looks like your kind of trip, or if you’d like your next trip completely planned for you, send me a DM. No pressure, just open conversation about your next adventure.

It wasn't too bad in the end!

What country do you think has the best/worst driving conditions!?

It's the little details that make a trip truly unforgettable.

A special couple chose Acadia Travel to plan their honeymoon down the Pacific Highway from San Fran to LA. To make the celebration that little bit sweeter we organised a secret room upgrade - our way of saying congratulations and a thank you for trusting us with such an important journey.

A big thank you to the awesome Cambria Inns Collection for arranging everything!

Where are you dreaming of going next? Let us handle the planning (including the surprises)!
