My whistle stop trip to Scotland!

One of the biggest trends in travel I’m finding this year is the massive increase in interest in River Cruising and for good reason too - the value out there at the moment is AMAZING!

I’ve client’s recently back from sailing on the Danube, folks currently sailing on the Garonne and some lovely people waiting patiently for their Rhine cruise in a few weeks time.

I have a number of river cruise brochures so if you’d like to meet for a chat about what floats your boat for your next holiday, I’d be delighted to help!

Another 📌 on the map 🗺️

Although this was my second trip to South Africa, it was my first visit to Johannesburg.

There is just something about the place that is hard to put into words. A warm welcome and a friendly smile everywhere we went. Amazing hotels and great value for money.

This trip brought us from the townships of Soweto to luxury safari lodges. It’s an exciting time to visit, South Africa has much to offer every travel style and budget.
