Our Awards

We’re proud recipients of multiple awards which recognise our commitment to exceptional service, expertise, and client care.

  • We’ve recently returned from a two week Caribbean cruise with Azamara organised by Perfect Cruises. All the arrangements were perfect and this was our second Azamara cruise this year. Anita, has always come up with a cruise package to suit our needs and we have already booked an Italian cruise through her, with Oceania this time.

    Robert M.
  • We had a most enjoyable and relaxing cruise. We went on one excursion from Funchal, we should have seen a sunset but a cloud intervened.

    Jim R
  • Our recent voyage aboard Fred. Olsen’s Bolette through the stunning Norwegian fjords was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped aboard, the experience was warm, welcoming, and wonderfully smooth.

    Thank you to Sarah for the recommendation.

    Beverley T.
  • We both would also like to say that Riveria Travel and their holiday on the river Danube was wonderful, and the company looked after us all from arrival in Budapest to our departure, The ship, food, entertainment, and tours were of high quality and well organised and a company we can recommend to others.

    Margaret and Grahame
  • We had a fantastic holiday, the hotel was excellent and the staff were as accommodating as they could be to support our specific dietary needs. Everything you sorted for us was, from your side, as good as it could have possibly been, and I’m very grateful to you for resolving the car issue as far as you could do. Your time spent sorting our vehicle bookings and subsequent changes around the flight was greatly appreciated, and the added complexity of coordinating and booking for friends from a different country worked perfectly as well.

    Thank you.

    Tim B.
  • We are both so grateful for your help when we had to return from our holiday in Canada prematurely.  Special thanks to Ann for her support in getting us home.  We will be back to arrange another holiday very soon.

    Sylvia and Frank
  • Thank you so much for helping us arrange our dream honeymoon.  We had a fantastic time!  Your advice and helpful guidance was spot on!

    Gary and Monica
  • Thanks for your impeccable guidance and recommendations for our holiday in the USA.  We enjoyed a great vacation and look forward to dealing with you again in the future.

    The O’Sullivan family.
  • We’ve had several people asking how we’d booked our travel as it seemed more organised and with better itinerary, hotels etc. We of course gave them your details so don’t be surprised if you get some random enquiries! Feeling smug and lucky to have you!

    John B.
  • Lisa was recommended by a friend and she was a delight. Nothing was too much trouble and never felt pressurised to go with suggested routes, hotels or tours. She arranged a tour in Vietnam around an already planned week golfing in Da Nang. Couldn’t fault the service and all ran smoothly on holiday with great communication, accommodation & tours.

    Mrs B.
  • Huge thanks to Lisa for organising our family trip to Ombria in the Algarve. We spent 4 nights at this beautiful hotel nestled in the hills and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.  We were lucky enough to receive a complimentary room upgrade, and it certainly didn’t disappoint, the room was stunning with lovely views over the countryside. My husband and son also thoroughly enjoyed playing the challenging golf course. With Lisa’s expertise, efficiency, and knowledge everything ran perfectly, and we’ll definitely be booking our next trip with her again.

    Mrs O.
  • We consider ourselves very lucky to have you as our travel agent. We’re frequently left feeling a bit smug as others moan about their agents or sigh in envy at what you have arranged compared to theirs. People always assume tailor made holidays are loads more expensive, but that’s not been our experience and you end up with an itinerary that only goes to places and things we’re interested in.

    Thank you.

    A & J
  • Just want to say thank you so much for organising my Japan holiday.   Will be going homeward bound today – it’s gone soooo quick.   This holiday has been amazing in everyway!  It has just been simply incredible!

    With many thanks and kindest regards,

    Gem

    Maxine and Pete
  • We had the most amazing time and thanks to you we felt really prepared given all your tips beforehand. We’re looking forward to the next one already!

    Lindsey & Paul
  • It was lovely to meet you. We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.  Your love for Canada and your enthusiasm has rubbed off on us and so we’re now even more excited for our holiday. Thank you so much for sending this information on and for all your help and advice.  We look forward to continuing to plan our holiday with you.

    Jane
