We have now recently booked two family holidays with Howard Travel, both times dealing with Gemma. The experience was by far better than booking online. Not only was the price better than online but... See more

The Matterhorn and The Glacier Express

The Matterhorn is very impressive, enjoyed the trip up very much, Zermatt is beautiful and quaint, could have done with more time in Stresa rather than spend a lot of time travelling, but enjoyed the mini cruise.The Express was a let down, but Klosters is magical. The journey on the Bernina Express is really a lot of fun, if you’re going do travel for some time in the back carriage, having an Italian ice cream in Tirano was wonderful. Overall had a great time but a higher class hotel for the first few days would be an improvement

All worked well flying from Bristol to Belfast and returning a week later Belfast to Luton - despite the plane being delayed by one and a half hours! The fast track and the priority seating was a bonus and so cheap. Thank you Howard for printing my tickets a month in advance whch was very helpful.

Howard travel for trusted experience and personal attention.

Howard travel is an excellent independent travel agency. Howard and his team have a wide and in-depth knowledge of bespoke travel, adventures and holidays. We have used Howard travel for more than 10 years and trust them to help plan and book trips ranging from European mini-breaks in boutique hotels, catered ski chalets, cruises (where there is a bewildering array of choice) and once in a lifetime trips such as to Machu Picchu and the Galapagos. Long may they continue, their customer service is first class.

Exactly what you need...

From start to finish the team at Howard Travel were everything we needed to book our honeymoon. Matt with his expert knowledge and dealing with my late night emails (sorry!) and Jo who made me feel immediately at ease when we had to do a very last minute change to our travel.

Our trip was everything that we wanted, and we’re both VERY sad to be home, but know where we will be going to book our next adventure!!

Thank you SO much to everyone, we will be back :-)

A wonderful holiday.Well organised for us but would suggest it is not a good idea to travel through Spain during the Easter break.If people must travel then it is vital that the hotels booked have dining rooms. We found it difficult to find food and drink on Sunday as we travelled north. Our hotel had no food or drink except a machine in the lobby.

First Class Travel Experience

Howard Travel were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable throughout our booking process.
Wayne was particularly helpful in ensuring that we received the best possible advice resulting in a first class holiday experience.
We have, so far this year, booked two holidays through Howard Travel (Wayne) both of which have fulfilled our expectations.
We will continue to use Howard Travel for all our future holiday needs.

Always surpass expectations

We have booked with Howard Travel several times and they always surpass expectations. This was our most complicated custom built trip yet and Wayne couldn't have done more to get us the best places to stay, the cheapest flights and made the schedule work with all of our last minute adjustments too. We will definitely travel with their help again and would recommend them to others.

Thank you Howard for the super and very satisfactory travel arrangements made for our Australian visit - Coral Expeditions are excellent - we would strongly recommend them over other companies offering similar trips. the Tasmania trip and, I am told by passengers who had done it, some three or four times!, their trip around the Kimberley is said to be superb.
