Sri Lanka voted Best in Travel 2019 by Lonely Planet

Posted: 29th November 2018

Sri Lanka is quite unlike anywhere else in the world in what it has to offer; merely a tear-drop off the south coast of India, Sri Lanka is a tiny island packed with delights. Spectacular scenery, an abundance of wildlife and a rich history make Sri Lanka a must-visit destination all-year-round. And thus, Lonely Planet have voted it number one on their Best in Travel list for 2019, describing it as a “country revived”. See what Sri Lanka tours we have to offer here.

Cuba: Destination Tour and City Break Now Available

Posted: 6th August 2018

When one thinks of Cuba, it likely strikes up romantic visions of classic American cars roaming colonial streets, rum-infused evenings at beachfront Cabarets, and dancing down El Malecon through a sea of smiling locals. And such visions wouldn’t be far wrong, but Cuba exceeds expectations in a way that you wouldn’t, well… expect. The experiences, opportunities and emotions found on this fascinating Caribbean island know no bounds, which is why we have introduced not one, but two tours to this amazing destination. A Cuba Grand Tour and a Havana City Break.

A bad start with missed connection due to flight delay, but we loved Havana and the Honeymoon at the Melia Cayo Coco in the overwater Grand Premium Lagoon View suite was simply amazing. Andres & Amy

Venice Testimonial

Posted: 30th September 2016

We had a fantastic time in Venice; lunch at Locanda Cipriani was the highlight, thank you so much for the recommendation! We arrived at the restaurant at 1pm and didn’t leave until 4.30pm after a fantastic meal and an over-indulgence in the local wine! Gary K

Hamburg Testimonial

I have arrived back in the BVI after a fantastic Stag weekend in Hamburg. Thank you so much for organising everything, it all went perfectly to plan. The transfers were spot on and the restaurant, Parlament Hamburg, was fantastic. I will pass your details to a couple of people I think you will be able to work with going forward. Jonathan B
