I have worked in the travel industry for over 24 years and it remains my absolute passion. After starting my career with Thomas Cook and Kuoni, I wanted to create a business built on service, care and honesty: Luxury Travel with Rebecca.

You will receive a friendly, trustworthy and highly personal service, and everything you book with me is 100% financially and ATOL protected for complete peace of mind.

I will design your holiday using my extensive knowledge, built over more than two decades in the travel industry and through my own journeys around the world. I love making thoughtful suggestions and recommending hotels and locations that truly fit your needs and travel style. I specialise in long‑haul, tailor‑made travel and have been fortunate to visit some incredible places, which I would be delighted to share with you, your friends and your family. I am not tied to any one tour operator or company, so I have the freedom to search from a wide range of options to find the holiday that is exactly right for you. I take the time to get to know you and understand what really matters for your trip, offering honest, impartial advice at every step. I will keep you updated with all the details of your holiday and make sure everything runs smoothly.
So whether you are looking to: escape for a few days to recharge, set sail on an unforgettable cruise, plan a romantic honeymoon in the Maldives, trek through Borneo in search of orangutans, explore Sri Lanka with the locals, celebrate a special occasion in style, the world is there to explore and with my help I will design your ideal escape and share my own personal tips and recommendations so you can get the very best from your trip.
