It's Nice To Meet You

It’s Lovely to Meet You!

If you’re dreaming about your next unforgettable journey and looking for expert, personal support to bring it to life – welcome.

I'm Sarah and I specialise in highly personalised, luxury travel, thoughtfully designed for travellers who appreciate quality, attention to detail, and unique experiences.

Whether you’re planning an extraordinary celebration, ready to start ticking off your bucket list destinations, or simply want each journey to feel effortless and memorable – I’m here to make it happen. From our very first conversation to your safe return home....all you need to do is pack.

Working with the world’s best airlines, cruise lines, and destination specialists, I handcraft every itinerary around you – your preferences, your pace, your priorities.

My expertise is in creating bespoke, tailor-made escapes rather than set itineraries or one-size-fits-all holidays – each one thoughtfully designed to suit your individual style, interests, and goals.

I bring first-hand experience of travel across the USA, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, Asia, Europe, South Africa and the UAE, along with deep knowledge of many of the world’s leading airlines and cruise lines. This on-the-ground insight allows me to offer genuine recommendations and honest advice (and some hiddem gems) – the little things that make a big difference.

Since 2012, I’ve had the privilege of building long-standing relationships with every one of my clients – all of whom return to me each time they travel. It’s a collaborative journey: we shape each trip together until it’s just right, and I take care of everything else, right down to the finest details.

Before launching my own luxury travel business, I worked with British Airways in Sales, Marketing, and Commercial roles, including time on the Concorde Brand Management team – a personal highlight was landing in the cockpit of Concorde into JFK!

Today, I bring that same passion, insight, and precision to every journey I create. If you're looking for a trusted travel partner to support your adventures with care, creativity, and world-class connections – I’d love to chat.

Let’s create something truly special together.

A Whirl Through Lisbon: From Yellow Trams to Stadium Tours

We spent three nights in Lisbon staying at the Marriott, which turned out to be a great base for exploring the city.

The hotel itself was comfortable and welcoming — the staff were fantastic, the food was good, a

I had heard about the driving, but experiencing it is something else!! Driving into the city is wonderful - weaving in and out of streets that mix modern office buildings with bits of ancient Rome! We stayed at the stunning T

Memorable Mexico

Memorable Mexico

Mexico has been on my ‘to do’ for ages and so off we went in July to Riviera Maya for two weeks to stay at the H10 Coral Sea & Turquesa. Our private transfer took just 25 minutes from Cancun airport. Check in was a doddle and we were soon in our room. Our spacious room was modern and had 2 large beds as well as a sofa bed, table, desk and a large sea-facing balcony. The hotel is proud of i

What my customers say

Sarah is simply the best and prepared to go the extra mile for her clients. Over the years she has become a friend as well as a great travel consultant.

Helen Hants

Bradwell

Always goes the extra mile and most importantly we trust her to give us the best advice possible.

Arthur Armstrong

Saddleworth

We knew where and when we wanted to go, but the packages we had looked at didn't offer the slightly quirky factor we were looking for. We contacted Sarah with an outline of what we wanted and asked her if she could quirk it up a bit! She did! And arranged direct flights which was something we were keen on! Sarah has been extremely helpful in listening to what we wanted, and tweaking things to our needs. Can't wait for September now!

Sue Walton

Chorlton

Having booked a trip to Paris via Thomas Cook before I had met Sarah, I thought that I had to rebook my trip and fork out a further £5K on my trip, Sarah took all the details off me and confirmed that I hadn't lost the flights and hotel booking but just had to book the trip to Euro Disney & the transfer with her which was a total of £700, therefore because of her honesty & help Sarah has given me, she will be the first person I contact when booking trips going forward. Fantastic service I was very impressed!

Mary Walker

Middlesborough

Sarah has been really helpful from suggestions of holiday locations based her extensive knowledge, to hints and tips, the latest one being Fastrack Passport control which we used for the first time at the end of our recent holiday. Arriving back in Manchester the queues were huge for passport control and this must have saved us at least 30mins of queuing. Sarah was also helpful with a query that we had whilst away. We already have another holiday booked with her and it will not be the last.

Colin Lambert

Jude Honeyman

Littleboro

I stopped using travel agents many years ago as the staffs' experience fell increasingly behind mine as I travel so much. Lack of continuity and common sense meant having to provide a list of 100 do's and don'ts such as "try to avoid a night flight as we have a four year old son" Sarah is clever and experienced with bundles of common sense, attention to detail and tenacity.

Kevin Philbin

Manchester

Whenever we have used Sarah to assist us with our travel plans - which have not necessarily been straight forward! - her patience and ability to look at what we are planning to do, offer advice and her obvious love of her job means that any trip we are looking to undertake we will looking for Sarah's assistance.

David Buckley

Brilliant help and support - Sarah has definitely gone the extra mile to help me with our family trip to Florida. Thank you!

Jennifer Bower

Derbyshire

I would have to give Sarah 10/10 due to her vast knowledge and patience in dealing with our group. There have been name changes and people added and taken away on the group and throughout she has been patient and absolutely professional. She has made the whole process smooth and straightforward with no jargon which is a must for people who are not familiar with the travel industry.

Demain Tayor

Manchester

Sarah was fantastic and extremely patient taking us through all of our options for our first trip to West Coast America. We had exact dates we needed to meet and lots to fit in but Sarah managed to find us the perfect solution, an escorted tour, Virgin flights and additional extras to make our trip perfect. We can't wait!

Marian Arnold

Edward Turner

Bradwell

Sarah planned a fantastic honeymoon for us and as a result of this we have booked other hotel stays with her in the future. We have recommended Sarah to many of our friends, and we will always go to Sarah for all of our holidays.

David Shelton

Tyldesley

I call Sarah my 'Travel Angel'… nothing is too much trouble! She looks after everything from start to finish and comes to bring our tickets when it's time to go. To have a travel agent who looks after every minute detail is so refreshing! From the car parking to the flight home all the documentation is in order for you! Would I recommend ABSOLUTELY!

Jan Lord

Hyde

My wife and I must have caused no end of hassle for Sarah, chopping and changing potential dates and destinations, then changing our mind about where we wanted to be on particular dates. Sarah never seemed to mind however and was very patient with us and came up with a number of great ideas. Sarah is dedicated to finding the perfect package for her customers regardless of how long this may take. She fully understands how everything has to be exactly what the customer wants and her levels of effort and patience are second to none. This is our second holiday in a row booked with Sarah and we will do so again. We have already recommended her to a friend and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her again. Chris and Lisa McGrath.

Sarah was really helpful and available at all hours of the day to speak on the phone or communicate by email.

Lisa Mcgrath

Oldham

Sarah has done a fantastic job for us, the whole process was done quickly but not rushed, Sarah listened to exactly what we wanted and provided us with a number of options which made our job of reviewing these options quick and easy especially while I was very busy at work and did not have the spare time.

Alan Coleman

Bolton

Sarah was extremely helpful at all times nothing is too much for her she certainly goes the extra mile and beyond. We will certainly be using her again and I have already recommended her to friends and family. A well and truly happy customer.

Graham Hill

Oldham

Sarah was extremely helpful and very patient as we were struggling to find flights at a time that would not make travelling with young children too much of a nightmare. Sarah made everything very easy and stress free and I won't hesitate to call her next time we are looking to go on holiday.

Sarah is our 'travel angel'! In all our years of travel, I have never come across anyone who has had the knowledge and understanding that Sarah has. Each time we have commissioned her to look and book for us, she has always come up trumps and supplied us with a holiday to remember. From that initial call to book, to handing over your travel documentation, Sarah is always available at the end of the phone…she says "with me it’s personal" and it certainly is, I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah to my friends, family, work contacts and customers. She certainly is the best Travel Counsellor around.

She went above my expected level of service by suggesting nice pubs and restaurants too. She was prompt in response to initial booking queries and extremely pleasant throughout.
