It's Nice To Meet You

Stress free, tailor made holidays, created just for you

Luxury holidays, complex rail journeys & multi centre itineraries with personal support from first chat to welcome home

Hi, I am Liz and I am here to take the stress, confusion and time out of planning your next holiday, so you can simply look forward to going away.

Whether you already know exactly where you want to go and which hotel you love, or you are still exploring ideas, I will guide you every step of the way. With over 20 years of experience, I specialise in:

Luxury beach escapes and family holidays
Cruises, from ocean voyages to river journeys
Tailor made safaris
Rail holidays and scenic train journeys
Complex, multi centre itineraries that combine several destinations or experiences
Cycling trips and walking holidays

We can chat over the phone wherever you are based, or meet in person if you are nearby. I offer a free, no obligation consultation so I can really understand what you want from your trip: pace, style, must sees and budget. From there, I design a bespoke itinerary that fits you perfectly.

I take care of every detail: from airport parking, hotels and transfers to excursions, activities and flight arrangements, including seats and online check in. While you are away, I am only ever a message or call away, and you also have the reassurance of 24 hour duty office support. Your holiday is fully financially protected, giving you complete peace of mind.

Holidays are important, and your holiday is important to me. I pride myself on going the extra mile so that you get the holiday you truly deserve.

If you are ready to start planning, or would simply like some inspiration, contact me by phone, WhatsApp or email and let us begin your next adventure together.

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris. Well it had been on the bucket list for a while so it was time to bite the bullet and finally “do” Disneyland Paris. Under the guise of going to Lille for a night we decided to surprise the kids (aged 7 and 10) once in Lille, that our final destination, was, indeed Disneyland Paris. The big reveal was somewhat anticlimactic. “Where?” “Will they have WIFI? “ “Will it be lik

From Majestic Mountains to Coastal Splendour: An Unforgettable Journey from Calgary to Vancouver

From Majestic Mountains to Coastal Splendour: An Unforgettable Journey from Calgary to Vancouver

Embarking on a journey from Calgary to Vancouver is a magnificent way to experience the diverse landscapes of Western Canada. This road trip takes you through the awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies, serene lakes, charming towns, and finally ends in the vibrant city of Vancouver. If you just do one road trip if your life, this is the one to do! Calgary. We made it! Finally arrived in Banff after a 90

Easter in Lanzarote

Easter in Lanzarote

If you're looking for sun at Easter time, then the Canaries are a pretty sure bet. Lanzarote is the most northern of the Canary islands, and with Fuerteventura directly to its south, it could easily be combined as a twin centre. (there are frequent ferries) We however decided to stick to Lanzarote for our 8 day holiday. We opted for Costa Teguise on the east coast of Lanzarote, just a short

Into the Alentejo- Portugal

Into the Alentejo- Portugal

Ever heard of the Alentejo region of Portugal? No? Well, me neither until a few weeks ago when I was fortunate enough to be invited by the Portuguese Tourist Board on a "familiaristion" trip of the region. And so it was that I found myself at Heathrow at 6am on an autumnal Wednesday morning, checking in for the 8am TAP Air Portugal flight to Lisbon. The Alentejo region of Portugal is the reg

Scintillating Sicily

Scintillating Sicily

What springs to mind when you think of Sicily? Lemons, Mt Etna, Mafia, Gelato, Pizza, Ancient Greece, Mediterranean seas, fresh seafood, olives, vespas, pebble beaches. It was time to investigate! Accompanied by 5 trusted friends, I embarked on a girls weekend to Taormina in southern Sicily. Flying into Catania, our transfer was ready and waiting when we arrived and we were whisked off to

Summer in Switzerland

Summer in Switzerland

Anybody who knows me well, knows that Switzerland is probably my favourite country in the whole world, the one that I return to time after time. I guess it feels like a second home, having worked my first Winter season there when I was 18, and returning many times since, both to work, and to play. Its my absolute favourite destination for a Summer family holiday. So what's so great about Switz

Travelling on Eurostar

Travelling on Eurostar

I love Eurostar. I really do. I think they are brilliant at what they do. London to Paris in 2 hours 20 minutes. City centre to city centre. So this year, with a train mad 9 year old, we decided to get the train to the Alps rather than fly, taking the Eurostar to Paris, stopping overnight to break the journey, and do a spot of sightseeing. We then hopped on a TGV high speed train to Geneva

All Inclusive in Gran Canaria

All Inclusive in Gran Canaria

Its funny how things turn out sometimes isn't it? Especially with holidays. 10 years ago the thought of an All Inclusive holiday would have filled me with absolute dread. Fast forward 10 years and 2 kids later, All Inclusive started to seem positively luxurious. No Cooking? Or cleaning? Or even thinking? No mental load whatsoever. No "but this pizza is too spicy" "these chicken nuggets don

A tale of the Taj Mahal, Rickshaws and Nassar Hussain

A tale of the Taj Mahal, Rickshaws and Nassar Hussain

Agra is a little like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Home to the magnificent Taj Mahal, and popular with Indian and foreign tourists alike, it is one of India's truly unforgettable experiences. The Taj Mahal was commissioned by emperor Shah Jahan in 1631, to be built in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died on 17 June that year, while giving birth to their 14th child. The Taj M

Paradise in Pembrokeshire

Paradise in Pembrokeshire

The last two years have been a little challenging for international travel to say the least. Fortunately it has given us an unparalleled opportunity to uncover hidden gems right here in the UK that may have otherwise have remained buried. One such area which commonly flies under the radar, in my opinion, is Pembrokeshire in South Wales. Breathtaking beaches, such as the award winning Baraf

Liz has helped us find two holidays now, one for the whole family and another just for me and my husband. Both times Liz totally understood the brief, our needs and wants. Both holidays were completely different in terms of requirements and budgets, and Liz was spot on with her choices and recommendations. Big thanks to Liz, would definitely recommend.

Emma R

What started as a dream, soon became a reality. Liz listened to exactly what I wanted to get out of our trip and delivered exactly what we had wished for. She gave options and advice and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Nothing was too much trouble.

Liz has been an absolutely fantastic support. We are going to Japan- which felt very overwhelming to book independently as we would usually do. She has found us some fantastic deals and been very responsive to questions. The whole booking has been incredibly pleasant, exciting and stress free thanks to Liz! Can't recommend her enough. Thank you... we are very excited! We will definitely book through Liz again!

Becky B

In short, Liz is exceptional! Liz has organised two holidays for us thus far (Thailand and Morocco) and we have just booked our third adventure to Mauritius for the Spring. Liz’s insight, knowledge and pure determination to get us the most perfect holiday experience… at the best price… means we would recommend her in a heartbeat. Not only does Liz find us the best holidays and accommodation, she has also booked our private transfers and trips, which again takes a lot of the worry out of travelling. We feel totally secure and confident whilst travelling because we know Liz has it all in hand. Cannot wait for our next trip… Thank you so much Liz, you are amazing!!!

Your travel pack arrived within 5 days . ?? printed boarding passes, travel passes and clear itinerary. Information presented in sequence of events for outward and return journey, with ATOL confirmation. Friendly, professional, efficient and reassuring service. Here’s to a fantastic, French break.

The perfect Tuscan road trip Just back from the most perfect and memorable, incredibly beautiful Tuscan Fiat Cinquecento road trip, all thanks to incredible Liz Hemingway! She listened to everything I wanted to squeeze into our holiday including my worries and concerns and then created a a wonderful itinerary with fantastic hotels chosen for our preferences and added interesting suggestions for things to see and do during our adventure. Whilst also booking flights, car hire and giving train advice, so that it all ran smoothly. One of the best holidays I've ever had, which would not have happened without Liz's invaluable help and extensive knowledge. It was a very special trip for me and my husband and has opened our eyes to this kind of sightseeing trip. We're excited to do many more and will always be starting will a call to Liz for her specialist help! Grazie Mille Liz!

Liz taking all the stressful elements of searching and booking a last minute holiday out of my hands has meant that I am more rested and looking forward to my holiday more than ever before! Thankyou Liz x

Lisa N

Hove

Liz found us a great holiday really quickly. No fuss whatsoever. She also I think worked 'after hours' on it which is very good of her. I have used Liz now for quite a few trips over a number of years and am yet to be disappointed in her service or the holiday. I recommend her when I get the opportunity. Thank you.

Helen R

It was super easy to make an appointment to speak to Liz. When I did she was friendly, informative, and listened to my (long!) list of wants and don't wants. Within 48 hours she had sent me 3 options to look at, all were great, but I decided against them, she sent another 3 and I found the perfect one! Liz really helped me focus on what I was wanting for my holiday. She was also always there to message which was above and beyond. I'm never going to try and book my own holiday ever again!!

Jo K

Liz had organised a couple of very different holidays for us and on both occasions we have found her to listen carefully to what we needed, come up with various options to consider and when we decided, the booking process was smooth and efficient.

Brighton

We cannot praise Liz enough! We wanted to book an extra special trip for the family having had a few big birthdays to celebrate and Liz was a font of knowledge and expertise. We settled on Thailand and given the time of year, we chose to stay 4 nights in Bangkok and 10 nights in Ko Samui. All flights, accommodation, transfers and trips were organised and confirmed by Liz, showing a level of service we have not experienced before… we felt truly looked after. Her recommendations, especially using tour guides that took you off the beaten track, made the trip an amazing authentic experience! We thoroughly recommend using Liz to book your holiday and adventures… you definitely won’t regret it!! Thank you Liz for helping make so many fab memories

Emma W

Shrewsbury

Liz was very helpful as our booking was only a month before the trip & one of our weeks was in half term. We went back to her with queries and requests several times during the booking process, and she was quick to contact the holiday company & get answers for us. It was great not to have to sort all of these out ourselves. We would recommend her to friends and family.
