What my customers say

Jo was a superb help in finding us a family holiday. She took a great amount of time to listen to our needs and proposed a shortlist of fabulous options for us to choose from. She immediately helped us take this off our extensive to-do list and turned weeks of procrastination and doom-scrolling into action and results almost overnight. Thank you Jo!

Mr & Mrs W [Greece - May 2026]

London

This is the second time I've booked with Jo. She is so responsive and so fabulous that I would have no hesitation in recommending Jo to people I know.

Ms M [Corfu & Paxos - July 2026]

London

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jo, she is exceptional at what she does. From our very first call, she took the time to really understand what we wanted from our Vietnam trip for my partners surprise 30th birthday trip. The perfect balance of history, culture, and (very importantly!) food. She didn’t just listen, she got it. What she came back with was an incredibly thoughtful, detailed itinerary that exceeded all expectations. Every element felt considered and tailored to us. The proposal itself was amazing, and any tweaks we wanted were handled so smoothly. Jo always came back with great options (even down to the small details of where we can store our luggage) making the whole process feel easy and collaborative rather than overwhelming. When we were actually on the trip, everything ran seamlessly. The tour guides she organised were all fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely added to the experience. The balance of planned activities and free time was spot on, and during that free time Jo had given us recommendations, so we never felt stuck for things to do. What really sets Jo apart though is her level of care. From that first conversation right through to us being on the ground in Vietnam, she was there every step of the way. Knowing she was on hand if we needed anything gave us total peace of mind. It was, without a doubt, one of the best trips we’ve ever had and that’s entirely down to Jo. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking to plan something truly special.

Ms F & Mr J [Vietnam - April 2026]

Jo organised a fantastic adventure for me through Vietnam and Cambodia. As a paralysed person I have more requirements in terms of transport, accommodation & assistance than an able-bodied person. Her attention to detail and careful planning with local partners made the experience easy and thoroughly enjoyable. I did not think I would be able to manage such a trip but I have come home with incredible memories and confidence that I’m ready and able to do so much more.

Ms H [Vietnam & Cambodia - March 2026]

London

We had a brilliant holiday in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur was exciting, buzzing and vibrant. And Langawi was tranquil, relaxing and inspiring. Jo’s recommendations in KL to absorb in the older parts of the city as a walking tour were totally spot on and the trips to the caves and recommendations for the sky tops bars were magic. She took care of all of the booking details making it stress free, smooth and most importantly we felt safe at all times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and am planning the next trip!

Mrs J and Mrs J [Malaysia - March 2026]

London and Adelaide

What a fab week! Brilliant time had by the family in Val D’Isere. Hotel was fab , everything went so smoothly (transfer / hire of gear - next door to hotel ! ) The staff were great and we really loved our week over NewYear! Thanks to Jo - it was stress free and just perfect 🙏

Mrs H [Val D'Isere - December 2025]

Hampshire

We had an absolutely fantastic holiday all thanks to Jo! Her expertise and attention to detail were second to none, completely meeting our brief of toddler friendly escape, with a bit of adventure thrown in! Each spot Jo booked was top notch with some real hidden gems, we’d never have managed to find them ourselves without hours of research. She went above and beyond to make us feel cared for throughout the process, leaving no stone unturned, she even recommended plenty of brilliant day trip options and places to stop on our route. A million thank yous!

Mr & Mrs B [South Africa - November 2025]

London

This was the first time I asked someone else to sort out a trip for us. I met with Jo and she found out our likes, dislikes and must haves. Jo put together three options and we chose China. It was a totally stress free experience and fab knowing we had the support of Jo and Travel Counsellors if needed whilst away. China was an amazing experience. Great food, incredible sights and lovely people. Starting in Beijing, ending in Shanghai we travelled by various means: bullet train, bus, coach and plane. Everything went smoothly and on time. Difficult to choose one highlight because there were so many! The Great Wall, Terracotta Army and the Pandas have to be the best. Closely followed by cycling in the countryside, night markets, hiking, authentic shows, cooking class and visiting beautiful temples. Our final night was spent on a rooftop bar taking in the wonderful skyline in Shanghai. Jo's support was brilliant from our first meeting, to collating several options, confirming the booking, advising us about essentials for our trip, and checking in on our first day in China and on our return. We highly recommend her services.

Mr & Mrs D and Mr & Mrs P [China - April 2026]

Surrey

We had the most wonderful time. A huge thank you for all the work you put in Jo. It was both energetic and restful, and we loved the contrast of the 3 destinations. The whole holiday ran smoothly and we really felt we could switch off and just enjoy every moment!

Mrs F [Morocco - Dec 2025]

London

Visiting Father Christmas in Lapland was a once-in-a-lifetime, bucket-list experience for us and so we really wanted to get it right. Working with Jo to achieve our dream was wonderful. Her approach from the beginning is to really get to know you and what exactly you want to get from the holiday - this was very helpful to me in prioritising what was truly important to us and was the basis for her individually tailored proposal that ticked off everything we wanted to do. Jo is very efficient, quick to respond and extremely knowledgeable but most importantly for me, she really cares about making your experience everything you wish for!

Mrs W [Lapland - December 2025]

Surrey

Jo is OUTSTANDING! She listens intently, has excellent connections and resources to draw on, remains calm and committed to tailoring the very best holiday experience for our family, who have a range of varied needs. I'm SO glad to have been connected to her!

Mrs S [Vietnam - August 2026]

Hampshire

Jo has been fantastic, she really listened to what was important to us and provided a very tailored holiday of a lifetime within our budget. I wouldn't hesitate to use Jo again and I have already recommended her to a number of friends.

Mr & Mrs O [Sri Lanka & The Maldives - February 2026]

Staffordshire

Jo was absolutely AMAZING. She took time to understand our requirements and a little about us and our likes and dislikes. Her knowledge was great and her recommendations were spot on. If I'm honest, I did not know what to expect when first speaking to Jo, however, her service totally blew me away and we will definitely use Jo in the future and would recommend with no hesitation.

Mrs T [Canada & Alaska - May 2026]

Staffordshire

A big shout out to Jo Teasdale! We initially had a call so she could learn what we wanted to do, and she then did all of the legwork and investigating to come up with the amazing holiday we just had. She gave us lots of options, and booked us the most perfect trip. Not only that, we were met on arrival with a travel pack (mosquito spray, anti bac wipes etc) including our printed itinerary, and a gift of Sri Lankan tea, she literally arranged everything, there were welcome notes & little touches in all of the places we stayed, as well as 🍾 and 🎂 for Sue's birthday. Cannot recommend highly enough, everything was superbly organised, thank you Jo! 🙌🎉🌟

Mrs M [Sri Lanka - October 2025]

Staffordshire

We spent an amazing week in Alcudia, Mallorca, making memories and spending the best time in the sun together. We booked via Travel_with_Jo_T which meant we didn't have to do anything - from a shortlist of places to hire cars Jo took care of everything and I knew we were in safe hands. The only thing we had to do was get to the airport on time! We'll be asking Jo to help us again!

Ms T [Mallorca - August 2025]

Surrey

I’ve always wanted to go to Copenhagen and so approached Jo about organising a trip for me and my mum. She took my brief and came back with a fab itinerary which took into all my needs and what I wanted to see. Copenhagen didn’t disappoint! It’s an incredible city with so much to do and see, super easy to get around and navigate. Jo had booked a couple of activities for us, one of which was an amazing walking tour which gave us a sense of the culture and history as well as amazing food. Not only would I recommend a trip to this wonderful city, but doing it all through Jo just took it to that next level.

Ms M [Copenhagen - September 2025]

London

We had the BEST family trip to Thailand thanks to Jo. She made everything so easy, took care of all the tricky logistics and even got us into places we couldn’t have booked ourselves. Sleeping on a floating camp in the rainforest was such a dream, and the kids loved learning how to barter in Bangkok. Honestly, stress-free and unforgettable!

Mr & Mrs B [Thailand - August 2025]

Devon

We had the holiday of a lifetime in Costa Rica, thanks to Jo’s help and advice in planning and booking everything. Cannot recommend her enough - we’ve never had such an amazing holiday or had everything go so smoothly from start to finish!

Mr & Mrs A [Costa Rica - August 2025]

London

When it comes to holidays, I usually love doing all the planning myself, but this year had simply run out of bandwidth. Working with Jo to define our Norway trip was a treat. Genuinely fun and stress free. Jo really listened to our family’s needs to create an itinerary that delighted both us parents and our teenage boys… not easy! We totally fell in love with Norway and all the logistics were seamless. Can’t wait to plan another trip with Jo.

Mrs O [Norway - August 2025]

Surrey

Jo was amazing - suggesting places to go for our Scottish Skitt that we wouldn’t have thought of. She planned an absolutely fabulous adventure to Scotland for us and our pup, with the most charming and dog friendly hotels, and effortlessly arranged ferry crossings. All we had to do was sit back, soak up the beauty, and enjoy every moment. We're beyond grateful and can't wait to book with Jo again - she's a superstar!

Mr & Mrs S [Scotland - July 2025]

Luxembourg

Initially Jo helped decide on which part of the world to explore and then created a wonderful itinerary for Costa Rica… found and booked lots of activities to do. She went above and beyond checking and confirming everything for us. Our wonderful adventure was incredible and due to Jo’s careful planning and dedicated eye to detail the travelling around was seamless. Thank you xx

Mrs S [Costa Rica - April 2025]

Surrey

We're just back from beautiful Lindos in Rhodes. Thank you Jo - you managed every detail with precision and helped ensure our exacting hotel brief was fully met.

Mrs T [Rhodes - June 2025]

Surrey

We had an amazing time in New Zealand making so many memories, We couldn't have done the trip without Jo's support and knowledge, she made everything smooth and simple. The highlight was the Milford South cruise, seeing the dolphins swimming and the breathtaking landscape. Jo listened to what we wanted from a holiday, and worked with us to make it a real experience of a lifetime. She is brilliant.

Mrs W [New Zealand - April 2025]

Leicestershire

Huge thank you Jo to organising a jam packed weekend for us in the champagne region. Who knew there was so much to see & do - all washed down with fizz! Super easy to get to and get around. Thank you!

Mrs T, Mrs B, Mrs O & Mrs Mc [Reims - May 2025]

London

Huge thank you Jo. You carried out excellent research and presented well thought out itineraries. You answered the brief perfectly. Every detail was taken care of...perfect hotels, immersive & fun activities & tours with local, knowledgeable & personable guides. We could never have put this trip together ourselves.

Mrs W [Morocco - June 2025]

New York, USA

Jo was slick and quick, giving a professional and personal service. She listened to our needs and provided creative ideas for the perfect holiday. Kalkan and Kas in early June were just perfect - a stunning coast, beautiful turquoise sea, lovely accommodation and a good evening vibe to keep the teens happy. Thank you Jo for understanding our holiday wishes so perfectly and organising such a wonderful week that the whole family loved. Your customer service was second to none!

Mr & Mrs Mc [Turkey - May 2025]

Surrey

Thanks Jo, we had an amazing time, so relaxing. Such a magical place, incredible kids club, great facilities. It's the first time we've had assistance with our holidays and I don't think we would ever do it by ourselves again. We'll definitely be asking for your help again, you took all the hassle and pain out of organising the holiday. The myTC app was great too - so useful to have all our documents and itinerary in one place.

Mr & Mrs P [Mauritius - October 2024]

London

It was wonderful Jo, huge thanks! We had a wonderful time. The highlight was a horse & carriage ride around the city, it was magical in the dark with all the Christmas lights. I thoroughly recommend Vienna for a city break.

Mrs S [Vienna - November 2024]

Hampshire

We had a fab holiday in Turkey. Jo took all the stress out of finding somewhere that suited us all. It was the perfect spot!

Mrs H [Turkey - October 2024]

Surrey

Thank you so much Jo. Cannot express how grateful we are. We had no idea where to start and were starting to panic! Thank you for your calm, supremely organised and professional approach while also keeping at the heart of your task the fact that this is a holiday of a lifetime for us and the children, and something to be excited about. Perfectly done. Thank you!

Mr & Mrs M [Orlando - October 2024]

London

Jo's recommendations and personal service shaped our holiday perfectly and made it stress free. We really valued her advice and the experience was seamless. She was easy to chat to, understanding what we wanted and finding it for us. We had an amazing holiday in Bali, a fantastic mix of adventure and relaxation.

Mr & Mrs S [Bali - August 2024]

Surrey

Jo, what can I say - this was simply the best trip of our lives and loved every single day. Thank you for all your amazing organising and suggestions. We made so many treasured memories together as a family and couldn't have done it without you.
