Amanda was absolutely fantastic and very patient with me as we arranged a special trip for my wife's birthday. Nothing was too much trouble and Amanda has guided me through every step of the process.

I basically had an idea of what we wanted, contacted Amanda and roughly gave her the bare bones and she magically had an itinerary in a day. Not just one option but two for us to choose. Thereafter... See more

thank you for your 5* review and for allowing me to book your holiday I am sure you will have an amazing time, Amanda :)
Service second to none!
This is my second time dealing and booking my holiday through Amanda. Very personal feel to the booking. Wee touches like remembering my previous booking and family details gives that special feel.
We discussed destination and dates. Amanda promptly got back to me with not one holiday option but 3!! On picking the right option for us Amanda then gave further options of hotel for the duel location holiday.
I honestly can’t recommend Amanda enough and tell everyone about the amazing service she offers EVERYTIIME!!
Thanks again and can’t wait to send my holiday snaps through.

thank you for your lovely review, I love booking your holidays, thank you for continuing to support me its much appreciated, Amanda x
Excellent service & great value for money
Amanda priced our holiday giving us options that we had not initially thought of, but that we actually required. We messaged back and forth a little, and after she allowed us time to discuss and consider, our holiday was booked in no time at all. Excellent, efficient service. Best price on offer to us, both locally and further afield. Keeping business local is important to us, as is getting the best value for money. We cannot fault any part of this experience.

thank you for your kind words and 5* review, I am honoured to book your first holiday abroad, many thanks, countdown has started Amanda :)
Highly recommend Amanda
Amanda was extremely helpful when booking our first family holiday abroad in a while. She took the extra time to explain everything step by step when going through the booking process and once everything was booked made a phone call to go over anything again that I wasn’t sure of or give advice.
Emails since booking have been prompt and nothing has been any hassle for Amanda.
I highly recommend booking through Amanda, and will definitely be using her again.
