Mediterranean Magic Aboard Celebrity Edge: A Family Voyage to Remember

Mediterranean Magic Aboard Celebrity Edge: A Family Voyage to Remember

When you think of a perfect family summer holiday, effortless luxury, cultural richness, and a splash of adventure, our family cruise aboard Celebrity Edge in July 2023 ticked all the boxes and more. My family (two adults and two teens) embarked on a Mediterranean escape that blended historic wonders with indulgent relaxation. We set sail from Civitavecchia, the port gateway to Rome, on 29 July 2

Exploring the Golden Triangle

Exploring the Golden Triangle

India has always been on my travel list, and when the opportunity to attend GX India 2024, I knew it was the perfect time. Not only would I be part of an event focused on travel as a force for good, but I’d also get to explore the iconic sights of India’s famous **Golden Triangle**: Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Here’s a glimpse into my 5-night journey through India, where I attended inspiring session

Cuba Cycling

Cuba Cycling

Before the pandemic, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend a week cycling in Cuba as part of an Exodus small-group adventure tour. To say it was enjoyable would be an understatement. It was amazing. The scenery, architecture, people and landscape were all outstanding. Of course, there were some mojitos to be sampled too, (for research). Day 1 - Arrival day in Havana Day 2 - Havana cyc

Japan - Small Group Adventure

Japan - Small Group Adventure

Let me say from the start, I’m a huge fan of small-group adventures. Over the years I’ve been very lucky to have enjoyed many great trips. However, Japan stands out as one of the best. It has it all. In just an 8-day tour we packed in a massive amount. There is no way you’d get to do as much trying to DIY it. Osaka was the starting point of our tour. After meeting the tour leader, and the rest

Singapore F1 Grand Prix Weekend

Singapore F1 Grand Prix Weekend

During the Covid lockdown, my wife and I got bitten by the F1 bug, following the fantastic Netflix show “Drive to Survive”. We just had to experience a Grand Prix first-hand and where better than a night race in Singapore? As luck would have it, we were fortunate to have family there so we were treated to a weekend of a lifetime by ex-pats who know the city. Flying premium economy is certainly

River Cruising

River Cruising

What an amazing family trip!! After a hectic weekend camping, it was time for a more sedate second half of our 2022 family holiday. A few days on the River Shannon was just what we needed. We collected our 36ft cruiser from Carrick-on-Shannon to set off on our voyage. Feeling confident, after the initial induction, we decided to head north to Lough Key where we spent our first night on the

We booked our our once in a lifetime trip for our family of five to Lapland last February 2024 with Paul. We initially deliberated on booking all this independently i.e Flights, accommodation , Santa, reindeer rides etc. but we are VERY glad we spoke to Paul first and did this through a Professional Travel Agent and experienced company (Sunway) who made everything so seamless, stress-free and utterly magical. Paul had some great tips and guidance on what to expect, bring etc. which added to our excitement and ease for packing. The whole trip exceeded our expectations and we are still buzzing 3 weeks after returning. Both kids and parents had a ball and we would love to return again someday. Thanks again Paul

We had used Paul for a previous trip this year and the service we received from him then only encouraged us to go back to him for this trip.

Paul is brilliant at what he does and he selects really good high class destinations to suit your needs and budget. His experience in the travel industry shines through. The service is brilliant and the MyTC app is so easy to use.

It's also great to support local.

Joanne Morrissey

Really enjoyed working with Paul. He really had a good understanding of what we wanted and he definitely delivered. I would highly recommend him.

Sam Foley

Co Limerick

Using the TC service removes the endless hours we would have spent researching all the various elements involved. In essence all that was required from our end was our general expectations & destination options, once clarified Paul made it very easy by providing us with the various options and with some more input, Paul was able to curate an amazing experience along with working out all the logistics involved with air travel, transfers etc...Any changes to the itinerary are detailed in the TC app and clarifications can be discussed with Paul who seems to be always "on" , he is so reliable and always gets back without delay. Engaging with TC is highly recommended particularly when time constrained , we are now in a comfortable position of having our holiday booked and can begin to look forward to an amazing experience later this Summer!

I highly recommend Paul’s services. No fuss and ability to make the decision fast. Just provide a quick outline of your interests and holiday requirements; and you get a quick succinct range of options. A follow up conversation helps clarify any questions and highlights the options and watch outs. The complete solution of flights, transfers, and shore accommodation took the stress out of it for us.
