It's Nice To Meet You

Hello. My name is Tanuja.

Thank you for visiting my website. As you will read, travel is a passion of mine.

With over 40 years experience as a travel consultant I delight in using my wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience to plan your holiday. My clients have commented that they find my enthusiasm and pleasure in arranging their trips exceeds their expectations.

I feel privileged to have visited over 86 countries. Some of my previous trips include a wonderful holiday in Laos and Cambodia, island-hopping in Indonesia including a 3 day stay on a schooner boat, a sleepover in the Ice Hotel in Finland, fly-drive holiday in Costa Rica, a cruise in the Galapagos Islands, relaxing in Cancun and silver wedding anniversary celebration in Botswana & Mozambique.. Truly amazing!

I am slowly ticking off the places on my Wish-List and have completed a cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula including the Polar Plunge! It was out of this world, a true Once in a Life-time moment. I discovered the most beautiful country Colombia. Such a colourful place, a hidden gem. I celebrated my 20 years as a TC with a fly-safari holiday in Tanzania. It was breath-taking. And most recently I have visited the Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan, a very special country.

Do read my blogs where I share some of my experiences of places that I’ve visited. And also some that clients have shared with me of the holidays I've arranged for them. If you’d like to know more please call do me, I’d love to hear from you.

My speciality is in arranging tailor-made holidays worldwide, weddings and honeymoons, round the world itineraries and cruises. However, I do arrange all types of holidays from city breaks to beach holidays, ski holidays and UK breaks. With me it’s important to get to know you personally and to discuss your requirements so that I can make the right suggestions and turn your dreams into reality.

I am proud to have been a Travel Counsellor for 21 years and to have a successful business which recognises my commitment to my customers and the services I provide them. You can follow me on Instagram tanuja.sudra_travel and learn more about my business, my personal travel experiences and those of my clients.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I hope that you have found it useful and look forward to hearing from you and ‘talking holidays’.

I wanted to thank Scenic Cruises for a wonderful Fam trip sailing on Scenic Amber on the River Danube. 4 nights of the 7 night 'Gems of the Danube' itinerary from Vienna to Nuremberg. Stops were made at the charming village of Durnstein and at Melk Abbey after sailing through the picturesque Wachau Valley.

Review on Kos from my client

Review on Kos from my client

There's nothing better than receiving a great review from clients who have returned from their holiday! Claire sent me a blog on their recent family holiday in Kos where they spent two weeks at the Mitsis Blue Domes hotel. She has shown that it is more than just a beach destination. I am delighted that they had such a wonderful time. 'We went on the KOS Island tour. We visited the city of Kos f

'Gods own Country' - Kerala

'Gods own Country' - Kerala

Having been to India on so many occasions I was expecting my trip to Kerala to offer me a similar experience - vibrant, noisy, colourful. Instead I found it quiet, slow paced and with gentle people. The heat and humidity may account for the pace. Education plays a key role with extremely low unemployment, a history of invaders it makes for an interesting state to visit. My itinerary arranged w

Magnificent Angkor

Magnificent Angkor

I had wanted to visit the Temples of Angkor for a very long time and my wish came true in November 2017! I planned a three-centre holiday in the Far East, of which four nights were spent in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The city has undergone some rapid development and you can find small traditional boutique hotels in the Old Town and modern ones on the outskirts of the city. It’s busy with traffic. Tra

"On the Road to Mandalay...."

"On the Road to Mandalay...."

It was in February 1999 that my husband and I took the brave decision to take a holiday to Myanmar, originally known as Burma. Brave for political reasons and for facing the unknown. Very few foreigners had visited this country. And we were so glad that we made that decision. We discovered a place with friendly and interesting people, culture, scenery, history and religion. Our journey star

Costa Rica

Costa Rica

Visiting Costa Rica has been high on my travel wish-list for a number of years. So when direct flights from London to San Jose were introduced in 2016 it was an easy decision to plan a holiday there. We chose to hire a 4WD jeep as we enjoy being independent. It is possible to book shared and private transfers if you prefer. The scenery was magnificent. Rolling hills, mountains, valleys, waterfa

Ecuador & the Galapagos

I have recently returned from a business trip to Ecuador and I wanted to tell you more about this wonderful destination. The country offers a mix of stunning scenery, culture and wildlife. Friendly people and great food are components for an excellent holiday which exceeded my expectations.

Caribbean with a difference – the Cayman Islands

Caribbean with a difference – the Cayman Islands

When it comes to a Caribbean holiday most people request an all-inclusive holiday - for reasons such as the high cost of living and a lack of nearby restaurants, thus favouring a resort style hotel. On a recent visit to the Cayman Islands, courtesy of the Department of Tourism, it was really refreshing to discover an alternative way of enjoying the Caribbean. Being so close to the US mainlan

Mauritius - 5 star service

Well where do I start? I am one of the very fortunate Gold Travel Counsellors to have attended the most amazing ‘Gold Conference’ in the stunning destination of Mauritius. This annual trip is a reward from the company for being one of their top performing agents. The reception we received at The Beachcomber properties was outstanding and we were all blown away by the standard of service and cui

Australia - The great outdoors

Australia - The great outdoors

Huge in size but sparsely populated, it’s really the great outdoors that makes Australia a unique destination in my mind. Visitors need to be prepared to juggle with distances, money and time before making any firm destination choices. I think that it's essential for anyone visiting for less than three weeks to plan and book their itinerary before they leave the UK. I did just that for my persona

A World in One Country - South Africa

A World in One Country - South Africa

I have made two enjoyable trips to South Africa; the first was in 1993 and the second 14 years later in 2007. It is a vast country and I have been fortunate to travel by road along most of its coastline. Each area offers a completely different experience. The capital city Johannesburg is one of the gateways into South Africa. Most people will go shopping there or visit a gold mine. I took an

The Train to Machu Picchu

Most of us have a wish-list of places that we want to visit. At the top of mine was Peru. Cox and Kings Travel invited me on a familiarisation trip, and I was delighted. There are so many highlights, wonderful experiences and memories that I have from my visit. I developed a love of the Andes Mountain range during a visit to Chile, and this continued on my travels in Peru. Arequipa is a be

Paradise - The Maldives

Wondered where Paradise is? Well you need not wonder any longer. I have found it on the islands of the Maldives. I have been to many beautiful beaches on my travels, felt talcum powder white sand between my toes and swam in the bluest of oceans, but I have to say nothing has taken my breath away quite in the way it did when I flew over on a seaplane to the Maldivian island I was to call home for o

Tanuja was recommended to me by a family member for the incredible trips she had organised for them.

Tanuja wall brilliant as usual, not easy finding us a holiday at short notice in the current circumstances, but as usual knew exactly what I was looking for, provided lots of advise and made it as easy as possible for me. Thank you so much

Rachel Moffat

While trying - with difficulty - to find somewhere suitable to stay over a specific date only a month hence, within easy reach of a specific location, I thought: time to call Tanuja! As ever, she was very helpful and quickly found us the perfect cottage in the UK to rent - thank you, Tanuja!

Mandy Taylor

Tanuja, has been so helpful from the moment I queried her about my holiday request. She gave me three strong options, which made the decision so much easier (too many options and it becomes confusing). She also really tailored the holiday to our needs. Love booking my holidays with her as you really get that personal touch! Thank you Tanuja Sudra!
