Ways to travel

Whatever kind of trip you have in mind.

From a long-awaited family reunion in Sicily to a fortnight on a Bali daybed, I plan trips of every shape and size.

All services

Europe & family visits

Italy, Greece, Malta and beyond, built around time with family.

Ocean & river cruises

Mediterranean, Alaska, the Pacific, and Europe’s great rivers.

Escorted tours

Travel with an expert guide and like-minded travellers.

Beaches & islands

Bali, Fiji, the Maldives and resorts closer to home.

Japan & Asia

Cherry blossoms, temples, street food and rail passes.

Groups & occasions

Weddings, milestone birthdays, golf and fishing trips.

How it works

Simple for you. Every detail covered.

Tell me about the trip

Call, email or send an enquiry. Where, when, who’s coming and what matters most to you.

I design and quote it

You get a clear, itemised quote with options. Nothing is booked until you’re happy.

Everything is arranged

Flights, hotels, transfers, insurance and visas, with one set of documents covering it all.

I’m with you until you’re home

If plans change while you’re away, one message and I’ll sort it out.

Everything in one place

One booking. One person. All of it handled.

Most trips involve a dozen moving parts. I look after all of them, including the things that are easy to forget, like seats together, airport wheelchair assistance, visas and travel money.
