Our collection of imaginative holidays includes thrilling winter adventures and laid back summer explorations, epic wildlife watching, expedition cruising, self drive itineraries and small group escorted tours.There’s nothing like firsthand experience and our Travel Specialists have it in bucketloads. We guide client's through every stage of holiday planning, sharing experiences and helping client's choose between the different options available and more often than not, tailor making our trips to the client's individual requirements for a truly unique holiday to remember. “We’re based in Banstead, Surrey. As well as a team of around 100 staff members, the office is home to our friendly chocolate Labrador, Sam. Client's are always welcome to come and visit, talk about their holiday and pick our brains. Our team of Travel Specialists are passionate about their destinations and love any opportunity to chat about them!” Dawn Evans, Head of Sales & Operations
