Such a helpful and easy process. I was overwhelmed when trying to book a holiday. This made things so much easier. All I had to do was provide specifications and options were provided quickly that matched what I was looking for. The app also made it so much easier to review suggestions etc. Would definitely use again.

Our trip to Prague was made so simple because of Carla.
She even sent a note with chocolates to our hotel room.

Hen Weekend Fun in Lloret De Mar
05 September 2018
I've recently returned from a hen weekend away in Lloret De Mar, what a fun and exciting place! I first visited Lloret De Mar back in 1998 when I was 16.

Magical Mexico

Amazing Orlando!
26 July 2017
I'm not usually a huge fan of theme parks...far too much of a wimp! So when I was offered the opportunity to visit Universal in Orlando I'll admit I was a little nervous but not one to turn down an opportunity I went and I was not disappointed! My first stop was Portofino Bay which is one of Universal's hotels, as the name suggests it's mirrored on Portofino Bay, Italy right down to the finer d
