It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I’m Richard Hoyle, and I would love to be your personal Travel Concierge.
Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury cruise, a sun-soaked beach retreat, a challenging ski season, or that once-in-a-lifetime experiential trek, I am here to manage every detail. My role is to support you before, during, and after your trip, ensuring your only job is to enjoy the experience. I treat every booking with the same level of care and attention as if it was my own.
Travel is deeply personal, and I believe the planning should be too. Based in Knaresborough, I’m available to chat at a time that suits your schedule, or we can meet in person to discuss your travel history and future aspirations.
Why Book With Me?
As a Travel Counsellor, I am truly independent. Unlike high-street agents, I’m not restricted to specific providers or "pushed" products. I have access to thousands of global suppliers, meaning I work solely for you to find the best value and the most authentic experiences.
I have a lifelong passion for travel and commitment to gold-standard service are the foundations of everything I do. I've been fortunate enough to explore the world extensively with my wife and two boys—from solo adventures to making memories with my young family—and I want to bring that wealth of insight into your next trip.
My Favourite Travel Memories
Lapland: There is nothing quite like the magic of taking the family to meet Santa. Seeing the pure wonder on the kids' faces amidst the snow and reindeer is a memory we will treasure forever.
Maui, Hawaii:A special anniversary trip with a ten-month-old in tow, proving that even the most exotic destinations are reachable with the right planning.
Yosemite National Park:People always say it "takes your breath away," but you don't truly feel the scale of it until you’re standing before the sheer face of El Capitan.
California’s Highway 1: A bucket-list drive from San Francisco to LA. It was my first time driving an automatic—just four months after passing my test—and it remains one of my favourite road trip memories.
Malaysia: An incredible honeymoon spanning the vibrant energy of Kuala Lumpur and the tranquil shores of Langkawi.
Halkidiki, Greece: Sani and Ikos resorts are firm family favourites where we’ve made some of our happiest memories.
Turkey: We have visited many family hotels in Turkey and I always rate them how good their kids club (and mini disco!) is.
My Top Travel Tip: Treat yourself to a private transfer. It’s the ultimate "holiday starter"—you arrive at your hotel faster and get to enjoy those extra precious hours of relaxation before your return flight.
Ready to Start Your Next Adventure?
From solo expeditions to multi-generational family escapes, I’m ready to help you see the world with total peace of mind. Every booking with me is 100% financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Trust.
Let’s start planning your perfect getaway today.
