Susan not only has a great knowledge of travel, but also has an enormous love for it. Her enthusiasm is very evident on meeting her. Susan makes light work of organising a holiday. All I needed to know was my destination and after that nothing was too much for her no question too difficult. I very quickly knew I was in safe hands. Without a doubt Susan knows her stuff. She goes beyond the call of duty and does her very best for you. Her enthusiasm fires you up. Susan is a very friendly approachable person, very efficient and gives her all. She has my vote any day of the week.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Susan as our travel counsellor who went above and beyond to plan and book my recent holiday to Thailand, Kuramathi in Maldives, and Sri Lanka. From start to finish, Susan's expertise and attention to detail made my trip an unforgettable experience. Firstly, her knowledge of each destination was truly impressive. She was able to provide me with comprehensive information about the cultural highlights, must-visit attractions, and unique experiences in each location. Her recommendations were spot on and helped to create an itinerary that perfectly suited my interests and preferences. Susan's meticulous planning ensured that every aspect of my trip was seamlessly organized. From flights and accommodations to transportation, everything was taken care of with utmost care and precision. The accommodations selected were absolutely stunning. Whether it was the luxurious beachfront villa in Kuramathi, the charming hotels in Thailand, or the exquisite resorts in Sri Lanka, each property exceeded my expectations. Susan truly understood my desire for comfort, luxury, and unique experiences, and she delivered it flawlessly. Throughout the entire process, Susan was incredibly responsive and accessible, promptly answered all my questions, provided timely updates, and ensured that I felt supported and informed at every step.

Susan organised and advised us on a fabulous family holiday to Costa Rica and Florida. We had never been to Central America before and Susan's knowledge and expertise really made sure we enjoyed every minute. Our itinerary including hotels, transfers, activities and excursions were perfectly organised allowing us to see and do as much as possible. The white water rafting on the Pacuare river staying over in the river lodge was a highlight as were the tours we took to see the animals, birds and insects in each location. We also had plenty of time to enjoy the hot springs at our hotel in Arenal and to relax in the sun. Would highly recommend Costa Rica as a destination. We had a great time in Florida staying in Lowes Royal Pacific Hotel which gives you express passes for the Universal theme parks reducing queueing time dramatically. Very comfortable room and lovely pool area for chilling. We usually arrange our own holidays but when going further afield Susan's help was definitely required and appreciated .
