Both boys have said it was the best day of their lives and both cried having to leave!!! Can’t thank you enough for such a perfectly planned trip!! We couldn't have done it without you.

Lucy has arrange a few holidays for me now. She goes above & beyond to make sure my holiday is exactly what I want. My next holiday is Vietnam & Cambodia and the itinerary looks amazing, can’t wait!

Sent by Katherine Agrell

Fantastic service! First time I have used after being recommended by a friend. We haven’t been on a family holiday for several years and I was finding the process online with the various companies and airlines quite overwhelming. I had an idea of where I wanted us to go and the team were brilliant at pulling together options that fit my family and budget. Also finding better flights. Thank you!

Sent by Joe Newton

I chose to use Lucy for her great service, experience and chose to use TC for the personal service you get, but more importantly if I did experience some unexpected difficulties in travel and accommodation I feel safe and secure know Lucy would be available 24/7 to assist me and resolve any issues should they arise.

I’ve recommended Lucy to lots of my friends, one just yesterday! Without question Lucy has hit the jackpot for us with this holiday, not only dealing with everything but ensuring the hotel was 100% suitable for us with having a disabled son. We’ve had the BEST time. Lucy you are an absolute gem, we’d never go to anyone else to organise a holiday ???? Thank you will never be enough xx

This week we should have been flying if to Singapore & Vietnam with friends but, like everyone else, have had holiday hopes dashed. But I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for helping us through this matter and securing rebooking to Australia. While we will have to rethink Vietnam we are extremely excited at what you have booked for us in December for Singapore, Melbourne, Whitsundays (sooo excited about the option you found for the reef experience) and then our fave Sydney... It’s going to be a special visit for us and friends/family are so excited too. So just a big thank you until we speak next. I’m sure it was nice to book something vs cancel and I hope the loses if 2020 soon grow into bigger adventures for people in 2021/22... All thru ‘Althorpe Tours’! Thank You.

I always book with Lucy and value her time and efforts. However with todays current situation I value her service even more. 3 of our holidays have been cancelled so far due to Covid and she has handled everything so efficiently I have had no stress or hassle whatsoever. This service is priceless and I can't imagine ever booking without her. If you don't book with Lucy then do it today. You won't regret it!

Sent by Camilla Dahl Veevers

Lucy saves me hours of looking through millions of holidays. We are a fussy bunch and a large family so it is never straight forward to book holidays. But Lucy takes all that stress away. Everything I throw her way - she comes back with a solution and an answer, always trying to get me the best holiday at the best price. I have recommended her to lots of my friends. Would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone! She is great!

Sent by Emma Chapman

We wanted a special holiday for our silver wedding anniversary and Lucy certainly delivered! Her recommendation of a trip to New York and cruise around the Bahamas in addition to our planned stay in Florida made it truly memorable for us all. Lucy also arranged special assistance for our son who is autistic. This included help at the airport and supported check in for the cruise which proved invaluable. We had a fantastic time and would recommend Lucy for all her help.

Sent by Paul Clarke

Just back from an amazing trip to Disneyland Paris!! Lucy arranged everything for us and gave us lots of tips before we went as well!! All in all a fantastic experience, I would definitely recommend Lucy and will always be our first port of call for all our travel needs!!

Sent by Heather Thornton

Looking for a holiday can be so stressful and I'm happy to say that Lucy takes all the stress away. She listens to where you want to go, what you would like to do and when, then as if by magic she finds you the perfect holiday. I would and do recommend Lucy to anyone who's looking for that dream break but doesn't quite know where to start. I can't wait to book my next holiday and Lucy's already given us food for thought as to where we should go. Thanks Lucy!

Sent by Matthew Moody

Lucy is a one-of-a-kind helpful knowledgeable and enthusiastic travel advisor. I will be using her for all my business trips and holidays going forward - thanks Lucy! I'd heartily recommend her to anybody who doesn't have the time to search the best deals but wants to get away for business or pleasure. And at no extra cost than you'd pay normally - awesome service!
