Worldwide Travel Guru
Hello, I’m Steve, and thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
Travel has been my world for over 30 years, and I still get a real buzz from helping clients plan trips they absolutely love. I’ve been fortunate to travel widely myself, so I combine first-hand destination knowledge with a level of personal service that is increasingly rare.
Whether you are dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a relaxed family holiday in the sun, a honeymoon to remember, or a quiet romantic escape, I am here to design a trip that feels just right for you.
I provide a fully personalised, award-winning service that gives you complete peace of mind: from knowing your money is 100% financially protected, to having someone you trust take care of the details, and being on hand if anything unexpected crops up while you are away.
My support covers every part of your journey, not just the flights and hotel. I can arrange airport lounges, hotels and parking, private or shared transfers, car hire, help with visas and advance passenger information, as well as special requests with your accommodation and recommendations or reservations at local restaurants in resort.
You might be wondering how much all of this personal service costs.
The answer is: nothing. I do not charge you a fee for booking your holiday, just as a travel agent or tour operator would not. The difference is the experience you receive. You have one dedicated point of contact from start to finish: no call centres, no being passed between departments, just me, available at times that suit you, focused on not only meeting your expectations but exceeding them.
I offer independent, honest advice. I can book well-known package holidays, but I also have access to a huge range of flights, accommodation and transfer options, which means I can tailor-make your trip to fit you perfectly, often at very competitive prices. Every penny you spend with me is fully protected, so you can relax and look forward to your holiday.
Over the years I have travelled extensively, including cruises and city breaks, and have built up personal experience across many parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. I love using that knowledge to add extra value to your plans, whether that is the right neighbourhood to stay in, the best time to travel, or those small insider touches that make a big difference.
I am proud that 96% of my customers say they would recommend me to their family, friends and colleagues. If you would like to experience that level of care for yourself, please get in touch by phone or email at a time that suits you, and let me help turn your holiday ideas into reality.

Journeying from the Caribbean back to Europe
There is something wonderfully indulgent about a repositioning cruise. No frantic airport dashes, no constant packing and unpacking. Just the gentle rhythm of the ocean, a steady journey across the Atlantic, and a string of beautiful ports to look forward to. Over 12 days I sailed on Marella Discovery 2, journeying from the Caribbean back to Europe. Along the way I called at Barbados, St Lucia, A

From the Golden Triangle to Kerala & Mumbai: My India Adventure
India has been on my list for years, a country that feels more like a whole world in one. From the vibrant chaos of Delhi to the calm backwaters of Kerala and the buzz of Mumbai, this trip was everything I’d hoped for (and more!). What a start! Flew Virgin Atlantic from Heathrow to Delhi — scheduled for 9h05 but landed in just 7h25! I went for Economy Delight for the extra legroom, and it was a

ANTIGUA & BARBADOS Why visit just one island when you can visit two or more?
My first stop was Antigua where I stayed at the adults-only Pineapple Beach Club. The hotel is situated on a stunning stretch of white sand beach and has the reputation for being among the friendliest and most authentic all-inclusive resorts in Antigua. The hotel offers five dinning locations, three bars, two freshwater pools and complimentary non-motorized watersports and a spa. I hired a car

SRI LANKA The exotic isle
Following a superb overnight flight with SriLankan Airlines we arrived in Colombo, the island's capital. Here I began my one week’s tour around this fascinating island. First stop was Habarana and I checked into the 4* Cinnamon Lodge. From here, we had a trip out to climb to the top of Sigiriya Rock Fortress, stopping partway up to have a look at the cave paintings. On the rock’s summit are t

CORK AND KILLARNEY The emerald Isle
Cork and Killarney: The emerald Isle - highly recommended for a short break or longer stay. Having previously visited Dublin twice, I wanted to try somewhere different in Ireland. I flew from London to Cork and collected a car at the airport and spent two nights in Cork, a city which is steeped in history. Ireland's third- largest city began life as an island and now spans both banks of the Ri

BARBADOS Gem of the Caribbean sea
Barbados is the gem of the Caribbean Sea. It is one of my most visited and favourite destinations! Just 21 miles long by a smile wide (14 miles), this paradise island with palm trees swaying in the tropical breeze, coral pink and white sand beaches all washed by the emerald and turquoise warm waters of the Caribbean has something for everyone! Having gained its independence from Britain in 1966
