Who doesn’t love to travel?
Welcome to our first column! We are two Tandridge-based friends, who decided after years of travelling that we loved it so much we would start our own business! We are part of a network of travel agents across the globe, with a strong team in the local area.
Each month we will give you a few friendly tips on great places to visit. These will range from short-haul to long-haul so, whether you’re looking to sunbathe by the pool, surf in the sea, take a great city break, practice yoga, or indulge in a cookery course (complete with wine tasting), the range is huge and there will be something for everyone!
Try Budapest for a fantastic and easy city break
Budapest is a three-hour journey away, and is the most amazing city. If you let us know what you like to do on your city breaks, we can personalise your itinerary to help you achieve the perfect getaway.
From wandering through the city, getting a boat along the Danube, lounging in the city’s hot pools or doing a ruin cave bar tour, this city has so much to offer.
Visit the Maldives for an exotic long-haul break
Maldives is one of the most accessible luxury destinations. It has 1,200 islands in the Indian Ocean, 158 island resorts, 138 liveaboards and 26 atols: it’s a holiday paradise!
Packed with activities, you could take a surf lesson, swim with nurse sharks, do a local island or submarine tour, take a day trip to another island or do a dolphin or sunset cruise…the list goes on. Or you could just lie on the beach and drink lovely cocktails!
The flight time is 11 hours, direct from the UK. The high season is November to April, with rainy months in June, July and October: it’s less expensive to go in August.
Experience something new with a horse-riding holiday in Mallorca
Discover the joy of horse-riding in the scenic landscapes of south-west Mallorca. Perfect for beginners, it’s an eight-day retreat of daily lessons and exhilarating excursions. This is a family-run equestrian school, with small classes and experienced instructors: you’ll ride with confidence and explore the beauty of Mallorca at your own pace. Unwind in the accommodation with a pool and spa after an exciting day in the saddle. (Experienced riders are also catered for.)
If you would like to find out more about the above breaks, or if you would like a quote for any other holidays, please get in touch: we are more than happy to help.
We also offer a huge opportunity for anyone interested in becoming a travel agent and learning how to travel smarter for yourself, your family and your friends. If you are looking to return to work, complement your existing income or simply learn something new, reach out and we can tell you how – we wish we had done it years ago!
