I have visited Mexico, the USA, Asia the Caribbean, The Maldives plus countless European destinations, also fortunate to have skied in Europe and the Rockies, dived in the Red Sea, giving me ample knowledge of all your needs and desires, to make memories of a lifetime and dreams come true.

The most amazing service from the very first contact. Knowledgeable and always happy to answer even my daft questions. We cannot wait to go on our dream holiday to Florida next year. I would highly recommend Colin to anybody that wants the hassle taken away from booking any trip away.

I have skied this area of France quite a bit, a great Ski area. You can get to Courcheval and back in a day.
Iceland, a Real Bucket list destination.
11/06/2021
Iceland is one of those places I yearn to visit, its architecture, the landscape with its lagoons, geysers, waterfalls and wildlife, Whales Its so different!

Singapore much more than a stopover.
25/05/2021
Many people make the mistake of labelling Singapore as just a city to visit ! Don't be fooled.

We love a Spanish break
09 June 2021
It’s a cliché but we love a quick jaunt to Spain, we try to go at least once a year, finding something authentically Spanish on the Costa Del Sol is not an easy task though. I have travelled and stayed in more exotic places with powder white sand for sure but it being just 2 1/2 hours away is a draw, particularly when we could fly from Southend airport, alas not at the moment. Over the years we h
Colin & Karen Love the Maldives
04 June 2020
So I thought I ought to see for myself, I’ve booked a lot of clients to the Maldives I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype, believe me it DOES ! Yes it’s a long journey most great destinations are, we flew to Male airport via Dubai with Emirates, truly recommend them good leg room and service even in economy, we flew to Dubai on the huge A380 then transferred to a smaller aircraft for the leg
Colin visits the Rock
23 September 2019
I have been to the Costa Del Sol in the south of Spain many times but never manager to get to Gibraltar. So I promised myself I would visit the iconic “Rock”. It’s a true blend of Britain adjacent to Spain, British Police, M&S and fantastic weather. I flew into Gibraltar airport which is an experience in itself as the runway is actually intersected by the boarder with Spain, consequently the borde
A short break to Barcelona
07 September 2019
Karen and I took a 4-night break to Barcelona in December. It was so rewarding; warm sunshine, blue skies, fantastic culture and a café lifestyle but without the crowds. Flying from Southend made it even more enjoyable. Staying at a traditional 4* hotel The Rivoli on the “Ramblas” our hotel was just a short walk from the Plaza de Catalunya so it was beautifully central. The Ramblas leads to the b
Colin & Karen's trip to the Rivera Maya Cancun.
18 August 2019
We stayed at the Catalonia Royal Tulum resort, a fantastic resort right on the beach. It’s adults only and we had a really good time. We upgraded to a “Privilege room” which gave us unlimited use of the spa and access to an extra restaurant, it wasn’t a dear upgrade but worked out really good value for money. The hotel is strange in as much that none of the rooms have a sea view. They back ont
