Rebecca provided a top notch, end-to-end service for our recent family flydrive holiday. She listened carefully to our requirements and preferences, advised us on realistic options for our budget and provided a tailored itinerary (including flights, hotels and parking) for our two-week visit across five national parks in Utah.
We would have struggled to co-ordinate this ourselves while working full time, and the access Rebecca has meant that we paid little more than if we'd booked everything ourselves. She was also able to provide ATOL protection for the full trip, giving us peace of mind to commit to what was, for us, a considerable outlay.
She even took time out of her own family holiday to check us in for our return flights, and provided reassurance and clarity at all stages of the planning for the trip. We would not hesitate to recommend her to our family and friends.

Having previously used bigger operators such as Golfbreaks to book my annual birthday golf weekend, I was referred to Rebecca through a friend for a more bespoke and personal approach. Rebecca was brilliant at diligently putting the trip together and communicating clearly, and handled any requests I had smoothly to make our 4 days in Vilamoura perfect. A group of 12 of us played 3 great courses including a special final day at the Dom Pedro Old Course, and all the accommodation, transfers and other arrangements worked seamlessly. I would definitely go to Rebecca again in the future and encourage others to do the same!

When I contacted Rebecca wanting to do a group tour I was ecstatic to hear she can book trips with intrepid (and other tour providers!). It meant I had all the benefits of the group tour plus flights and transfers sorted in a flash. I also wanted to add on hotel stays either side of arriving in Japan and Rebecca could organise those so I was in the same hotel to start the tour.
