Karen was a dream to deal with, she listened to our wish list and endeavoured to find us a holiday that really fulfilled our requirements . She took all the stress out of organising the essentials, she was like the holiday fairy - all done with a flick of her glittery wand ??. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Karen to anyone - so very glad we know how to reach her for our next adventure ???.

I have booked holidays through Karen many times. I am now in my late 60s and wanted to take my granddaughter on a ski holiday. Karen helped me every step of the way from the initial booking, ski equipment hire, ski school etc. Technology is used so much for checking on to flights so Karen did this on line with me. She gives me the confidence to travel knowing everything is under control. Karen is friendly, professional and is always willing to answer all my crazy questions. I would recommend her to anyone I know. Thanks Karen I had an amazing holiday.

Karen has helped organise 3 ski holidays for me over the last few years. She is very proactive, responsive and helpful. I have been impressed with how accommodating she is with frequent/last minute changes from my travel party (some at the 11th hour). She is a real asset when organising a lot of people and it takes a load off my mind to know everything is taken care of.

No detail was too much and Karen came across as someone who was experienced with good knowledge of the places we wanted to visit. We got the best out of our time on holiday and it was good value for money. She was always at the end of the phone and something we found so much better than an anonymous voice perhaps in a bigger travel agency. Even put her to the test when we missed our transport back to the hotel- she re-united us with a favourite bag that was left behind on the bus!
We hope to plan a future holiday with her again.

Karen has arranged my cruise holidays for many years now. The very personal service she gives has always been very much appreciated and it is always a pleasure planning holidays with her. Karen is a mine of useful information which makes the whole process stress free and fun. She always 'goes the extra mile' to be helpful and is full of tips and advice to make our cruises a huge success. She is a real gem.

I have been turning to Karen for help to plan holidays for five years and she has never let me down. My most recent holiday was to go skiing with my 13 year old granddaughter. I asked for advice and suggested Andorra would be a good location. She looked into my requirements and came back with a suggestion of Neiderau in Austria. I totally trust her so booked the suggested holiday and it was perfect. The location gave my 13 year old the opportunity to see the beauty of a ski resort while feeling safe and relaxed while I had red and black runs to keep me busy when she was having her lessons. The hotel staff and instructors made us welcome and I am please to say my granddaughter returned as quite a competent skier. I always get a friendly and professional service from Karen, and would recommend her to anyone with complete confidence.
Thanks Karen.

When I was looking for a trip of a lifetime, Karen was recommended to me through a friend. I contacted her with a wish list, including dates and a budget and in no time Karen got back to me with a range of options. Karen is very knowledgeable about everywhere and gives advice and tips regarding the place your going. Karen arranged our trip to NZ, Fiji & Singapore without any hassle to me. She ensured all paper and tickets were in order. It was so easy!! Karen then also booked a city break to New York for us - again, first class service! She arranged everything including transfers and visas!! And I have just emailed her to help us find this years holiday!! Thank you Karen!!

We would like to say a massive massive thank you for everything, we absolutely loved couples; the staff were amazing, the other guests were friendly and we have made a lot of friends from it. It will definitely be memorable for us in so many ways. We loved Jamaica and the people and the service you provided throughout was second to none. We honestly cannot thank you enough for taking control and leaving us to concentrate on the wedding itself. We have received your gift so no need to panic about that :-) thank you!!! We have it chilling in the fridge already. My brother is a courier and he got hold of it, I think there was a typo with the postcode but all is good! Thank you for your postcard also, it was a lovely surprise when we arrived home. I hope you are well and we will definitely be back when we are to book another holiday and will definitely spread the word.

Whistler, What to know before you go !
25 March 2015
A direct flight from London to Vancouver will take you 9hrs and 20 minutes. The best way to get from Vancouver is by private transfer, fast efficient, and you travel in comfort. The journey time will very much depend on the traffic because Vancouver is so busy so allow anything from 2 - 3 hours. Whistler is a year round destination, featuring two majestic mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb. Just
Karen Knows Ski
23 January 2014
I have skied every year for the last 20 years so consider myself a bit of an expert when it comes to recommending the best resorts for skiing ability, family resorts, best value and of course best après ski haunts. Obviously in lots of places it is the fabulous memories that make it such a great resort, but let’s not get too romantic over this and stick to facts. Here are a few ideas- Niede

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines – Allure of the Seas
07 January 2014
Before my departure I had so many pre-conceived ideas. I envisioned huge queues, jostling for sun beds, embarkation and disembarkation nightmares, but how wrong I was. I flew with American Airlines to Miami and was met by Royal Caribbean’s charming representatives. We travelled by coach to the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Fort Lauderdale for a one night pre-cruise stay. The following morning the
Culture And Comfort

I have just returned for a superb whirlwind trip to St Petersburg with Fred Olsen, the cruise operator. I flew in to Tallin, Estonia. Unfortunately there was no time to explore this beautiful destination but feedback from other passengers was that it is a real gem, especially ‘the Old Town’. This is definitely one for my bucket list. The Balmoral I boarded Fred Olsen’s ship, the Balmoral
