Just a quick message to thank you for your proactive support and management of our travel plans during the Iran crisis. It was a very clear example of the difference between booking a trip like this myself and booking it through you. I know if I had booked it directly, and was left to work out the various options and make a quick decision on this before all available alternative options were booked up or had doubled in price, it would have put the entire trip at risk. If anything, it has once again convinced me of the importance of booking trips like this with an expert in the area who can offer their insights and experience when unexpected challenges like this come up. Thanks again for making this so straightforward and stress-free! Regards. B

We can’t thank Andre enough for the incredible support she provided while planning and managing our trip to Thailand. From the very beginning, she made the entire booking process seamless, taking the time to understand exactly what we wanted and tailoring everything perfectly to our needs. Andre had come highly recommended to us by a work colleague, and I have since recommended her wholeheartedly to friends. As we were a mother and daughter travelling alone, and not a honeymoon couple, I was sceptical that she would tailor to our needs. How wrong I was. From the first zoom, to the rearranging of our flights in the current climate, I have been blown away. I genuinely can not thank her enough for the help, and I can 100% recommend her to anyone who is thinking of using her services. Thank you Andre.

A hairdresser actually recommended Andre to me and I’ll be doing the same to any couple that asks us. It was honestly such a relief to have a itinerary on hand and to just rock up to the airport after the wedding. The locations and hotels were beautiful and Andre did so well with advising timelines for us and even got us two hotels in Cabo as she knew two weeks in one be too much. Its little things like that, that we wouldn't have thought of. Thanks again Andre for everything!!

Andre organised our recent Honeymoon trip to Thailand and Australia. She came very well recommended by two friends of mine. Andre's service from start to finish was excellent.

She organised the perfect mix of relaxation and activity, and everywhere we stayed was lovely. The MyTC app was so useful. Andre provided all our documentation well in advance. We had multiple flights, for which Andre organised flight transfers to and from the airport which was so helpful. Andre organised the holiday to perfection, and responded to all correspondence so promptly and efficiently. We were away for a month and had zero flight, transfer or accommodation issues, which I feel is a testament to Andre's planning. We're looking forward to availing of her services again in the future!

We would highly recommend Andre to any future honeymooners! We certainly would not have been able to prepare our honeymoon to the same standard as Andre if we booked it ourselves. She provided us with so much knowledge at the initial honeymoon consultation and followed with such informative emails from then until our trip was booked! I always felt she had everything covered along the way which put me at ease throughout the booking experience. Thanks a million Andre, you’ve been a pleasure to work with! 10/10!

It is great that I get to email and phone the same person all the time. Having had experience with previous travel companies you would have to ring and be put on hold for a long time to then have to be transferred to the right person who may not be available. We had a difficult itinerary but André was able to overcome all the obstacles for us and book an amazing honeymoon keeping within budget.

Andre, was so helpful throughout the honeymoon planning process. Life is really busy for us at the minute and Andre took all the stress of planning a honeymoon away from us. She understood to brief and has planned the honeymoon we described. A really lovely person to deal with.

We really appreciate all Andre’s help in making everything go so seamlessly from start to finish with our bucket list trip. Andre really listened to what we all wanted from the trip. From booking the perfect properties/hotels for our needs and wants to taking the stress out of the Aer Lingus Pilot strike potentially affecting our outward bound flight. It was huge peace of mind to know that her first-hand experience of our destination meant she could give us the best advice. Thanks for everything, we had an amazing trip that we will never forget.

Booking our honeymoon with André was a no brainer as soon as we had our consultation. Her expertise, knowledge and professionalism was just what we needed to book our dream holiday. It was seamless from the beginning, once we had an idea of what we wanted, André had all the answers and had a draft devised the following day. After such a busy time in our lives we knew we had nothing to worry about with our Honeymoon. Thanks again André. John and Andrea

My fiancé and I left it very late to book a honeymoon (2 months out), but Andre was quick, responsive and made changes to the first suggested itinerary until it was perfect for us. She was a pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend asking her to book your trip for you. Her first-hand knowledge of cruises and different destinations for stopovers and places to stay made booking our honeymoon the easiest part of the wedding planning!

Andre went above and beyond in helping us to choose our dream honeymoon. She was a fountain of knowledge and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Thanks for all your help Andre.

Andre was brilliant in helping us to plan our honeymoon destination. She listened to exactly what type of trip we wanted and had amazing suggestions as she was so knowledgeable of the areas. Andre was so quick to follow up with things and it was such a great experience and relief to have it all organised while we were planning our own wedding. I couldn't recommend Andre enough to any other couples looking to book a once in a lifetime holiday.
