I got married and organised my own wedding in Santorini. I also love cruising.

Lake Como

Lake Como

This was my first visit to the Italian Lakes, and it won't be the last. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of this destination. We flew into Milan and hired a car from the airport taking about an hour and a half to reach our home for the weekend. We stayed in the quaint village of Maltrasio with stunning views over Lake Como and great boat trips/connections to the other many villages aro

Playa Blanca Summer Sun

Playa Blanca Summer Sun

We booked our family summer holiday late this year and ended up in Playa Blanca in Lanzarote and we had a fabulous holiday. We prefer to stay bed & breakfast or self catering in Europe but the Hotel Mirador Papagayo was half board; the food was nice but we just prefer to eat out. Playa Blanca is a great resort and our hotel was in a prime location 10-15 minutes walk to the stunning Rubicon M

Zurich City Break

Zurich City Break

I travelled to Zurich with my dad and sister to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. We stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel which I would highly recommend, it was a 10-minute tram ride from the city centre and then a 5-minute walk to the Crown Plaza. Zurich is such a beautiful city and very easy to travel around. We purchased a 3-day tram pass and got great use out of it, even using it to get to an

Sunsets in Santorini

Sunsets in Santorini

This was my third visit to Santorini and I will certainly be back again very soon I hope. We stayed in the resort of Kamari at the Tamarix del Mar suites. As it was a 40th birthday treat we upgraded to a suite with a rooftop Jacuzzi with beautiful views over Kamari - I felt very spoilt. Kamari is only a short drive from the airport and not far from Thira, the old capital. Thira is one of

We decided to take our first family long-haul holiday over Christmas, I have previously travelled to Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's pacific coast so I knew we would have a fabulous time and we certainly did! We stayed at the Canto Del Sol hotel, a smaller option against some of the much bigger vast hotels but knowing the area this hotel was a winner for us as it was very close to the fabulous male

This is one of the fleet's flagship ships with the famous Royal Promenade We love cruising for lots of reasons - including the food, entertainment and getting dressed up! You don't have to go all out on getting dressed up though on a week's cruise. They have t

Magical Lapland

Magical Lapland

I was very lucky to spend Christmas 2014 in Lapland with my family. Flying on Christmas Eve the magic started as soon as we boarded the plane, our children received Christmas hats and we spent the flight singing along to Christmas songs. Once we landed at Kittila airport we were greeted by Santa's Elves and taken to collect out thermal suits and boots; these were included in our Lapland package

Have already mentioned to my other son that he should contact Trudie for her to book his future holidays for him. She was so very friendly helpful and went above and beyond to help us get what we wanted and accommodate my son who has some special needs and is profoundly deaf. We cannot wait to travel to Rome next weekend thanks to Trudie and her professionalism.

Nothing was too much trouble for Trudie, she checked and rechecked every option possible to ensure we booked the best holiday possible. We've already asked her to source a winter holiday for us and would highly recommend her to find a great holiday for anyone. Thank you ??

Christine Browning

Cottingham

I just wanted to say what a fantastic, friendly and personal service Trudie provided for our trip to Vietnam recently. It was not somewhere that we had been before, so she did plenty of research for us and provided us with lots of information. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We also really appreciated the messages we received from her before, during and prior to our departure and even a welcome home postcard. She was brilliant. We have already got her on the case for our next few holidays.

Lee Gray

Cottingham

Trudie was extremely helpful in finding our holiday as we were undecided where we wanted to go. She sent us plenty of choices and when we still couldn't decide it was no trouble to search for others. We are now looking forward to a fabulous holiday in Dubai. I would and have recommended her to others. She's a lovely girl and knows her job very well.

Nicola Pearson

Hull

An excellent service, answered all my questions immediately, really came away feeling I had booked with a true Travel Professional. Will use Trudie all the time now based on this experience. Fantastic.
