we have been using Sarah for some years now for a variety of holidays; family; large groups; complex long haul and for short get away breaks. The service and advice is just excellent and we wouldn't book a trip without first checking in with Sarah. We have recommended Sarah to friends who have booked a Regent cruise with her this year.

We have used Sarah regularly since 2017 and have found the service to be excellent. We value Sarah's opinion on holiday choices and her informed advice particularly on non standard trips, such as a recent one to Iceland where advice on trips etc was appreciated, or on more complex multi site holidays or on large group holidays The service provided also hugely assists with the holiday admin especially on non standard / bespoke trips and it is a big comfort to have someone else going over all the details including transfers and inter connecting flights etc.The service is always prompt, professional and timely - difficult to fault and I have recommended her to friends. I would not book a big trip without asking Sarah's opinion!!

We’d whole heartedly recommend Sarah to help anyone source their dream holiday - she’s so friendly and helpful. We chose to book our dream family holiday with her as a result of recommendations from friends and we totally see why - she’s kept in touch, explained all the options and treated us like no question is a silly question...which really reassures us that everything will be spot on, and we haven’t missed anything due to our lack of experience. We’ve already recommended her to other friends and family, and will be booking with her again I’m sure.

I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough. She booked a holiday to Disney for our family (21 people) at the start of this year and it was the trip of a lifetime. I couldn’t fault a thing, it would take me a week to write how amazing it was. This is the first time I’ve contacted her myself to book a short break as a surprise present, and I am impressed again. I can’t believe I’ve spent years booking holidays, hours on the internet searching and not really having a clue. Sarah took the hassle and time waste out of it, she’s super quick in coming up with a full package, flights, hotel, transfers and activities and the price was extremely reasonable. It’s a lot less stressful knowing someone who is an expert is booking it all. I’m already considering booking another holiday with her and probably won’t book a holiday myself again! Thank you so much.

We gave Sarah a fairly brief outline of the holiday we wanted in Canada and she interpreted this very well. Within a few days she had compiled an itinerary which required only a few minor adjustments. Throughout the whole process Sarah was easy to approach in order to pin down the finer details which are so important to us when booking a holiday such as airplane seating, room type and cabin position. Her patience and tenacity ensured we have the holiday we wanted - we are very much looking forward to our trip.
