It's Nice To Meet You

Organising travel, whether for your colleagues for business, or yourself for leisure, can be confusing, stressful, time-consuming, and at times, just plain exasperating.

But it needn't be.

I provide bespoke, tailor-made travel experiences, that save the busy professional, time - and ultimately money. Whether for business or leisure.

I do this through efficient planning and by streamlining all the components that make up your travel, taking care of all the details from flights, hotels, activities, transfers, airport parking, pre-departure airport hotel stays, and airport lounges.

I do this so that you don't have to spend hours researching, planning and booking - with all the potential mistakes that can be made by someone who does not have my experience.

I provide you with a single point of contact for all your travel needs. And if something does go wrong, I am backed up by a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week, duty office with an emergency number to call - to speak to a real person.

Moreover, I can build flexibility into your travel itinerary, should your plans change or due to unexpected events.

By trusting me with your travel plans, I take away the hassle and stress of organising your travel, leaving you to focus on what you do best.

But above all, in a world of website clicks, chatbots, and anonymous call centres, I make travel a more human experience.

I have nothing but praise for you and TC, Marco, we had a wonderful time and everything was either amazing or dealt with really well, so thank you. We are truly grateful for all the care, organisation and service that you have provided us.

Sent by Tanya Sumner

Marco has been amazing from the very first holiday inquiry I made. I had no idea exactly what type of holiday I was looking for and Marco patiently walked me through my options. He was always open and honest about what my budget could buy and helped make my dream holiday a reality. Marco has always answered all my correspondence quickly and effectively, always keeping me up-to-date. No request of mine was ever too much trouble to deal with and he happily tweaked details until we had created the perfect trip. Thank you for all your time and help.

My husband and I had previously engaged the services of a larger corporate company for our honeymoon. I then met Marco at a networking event and I am so pleased I did. Marco not only put together the most incredible package options for our honeymoon, but he did it in record timing, at a competitive cost and also gave us an experience we didn't realise was an option. I wouldn't hesitate to come to Marco again in a flash. I have already told so many friends and family about what he did for my husband and me. We had the best holiday we have ever had and part of that was due to the planning Marco did for us. The whole process from picking our locations, transport and hotels to the board basis and paying for the holiday was brilliant. Marco helped us all along the way and even let us know about potential weather warnings in case we were not aware. In case this helps anyone think about booking a holiday through Marco we went to Abu Dhabi and the Seychelles.

Marco recently sent my mother and father to Venice. They were both thoroughly impressed with the choice of hotel and ‘James Bond esque’ ferry ride to the island. I would definitely recommend!

Sent by Olivier Carion

Marco is a highly professional provider of travel. He organised our trip to Bruges, Belgium, for a group of 12 and provided a most enjoyable experience, it was a fabulous weekend. Thank you, Marco! I have been repeatedly impressed by his expert knowledge in the hospitality and travel sectors. Any company wanting to have an outstanding service from a business travel expert should talk to Marco. Not only is he dependable but Marco will not hesitate to tell you how things really are to help you avoid unpleasant surprises when travelling abroad.

Marco was great at helping us find a great holiday in Turkey. He was really patient with all our queries. It was simple to book and we found the whole process really easy.

Sent by Steve Bowie

Marco booked a holiday for us to Turkey. His knowledge and professionalism are amazing. He made everything so easy. Massive thank you from us.

Sent by Danielle Khan

Could not rate Marco highly enough. He spent time listening to my requirements and budget and was so speedy with coming back to me with options. Nothing was too much trouble and we found the perfect holiday for us in the end....he was very patient with me being picky and did not go over my budget. Our holiday was perfect and the extra messages from Marco offering help with anything and counting down the days until we went was a lovely touch which you don't usually get with a big company. On arrival home, we had a lovely thank you card waiting for booking with him. Great service from start to finish and will be using Marcos's service for our holiday next year!

Sent by Georgina Duffy

Marco found us an amazing place. Miller’s Retreat in Somerset. It’s so fab I’d like to move in permanently. So clean, modern and toasty warm! We are looking forward to using the on-site spa too. Might even try out our hot tub! Thanks so much for finding it for us and for the great service. Really appreciate it.

Sent by Rob Jones

Dear Marco, Just a quick note to say how pleased Louise and I were, with the first-class service you provided for our holiday in Crete. It was a very uncertain time to be travelling abroad, with the ever-changing Covid restrictions, and you went out of your way to keep us updated, with links to 'passenger locator forms', and Covid insurance policies, which really put us at ease. You promised us a 5-star all-inclusive, and we certainly got that! Everything was as you explained and even better than we expected! We hadn't been away for over 18 months, and it was great to be in the Mediterranean sun and enjoy the local cuisine - and fantastic wine! I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who wanted a hassle-free, bespoke holiday. Thank you again for looking after us so well.

Sent by Pritesh Ganatra

Marco, I am writing to thank you for your excellent services and expert advice in organising my recent business trip and the long weekend visit to Paris. I had to visit a client, where we have installed a new phone system and I was there to train the company. I needed to be there for 2 complete days and wanted to go on a Friday, leaving the weekend free for some sightseeing, and be back to the client on Monday. You took this brief and, with only the client's address in central Paris, expertly put together a hotel & flight package. You also kept me abreast of all the Covid rule changes which were going on at the time, some of them changing just as I was about to board the aeroplane. I know I would have made a mess of the arrangements and was pleased I could hand over all the arrangements to you. I have no hesitation in recommending you to organise and arrange any business or leisure travel arrangements in the future. Yours sincerely Pritesh Ganatra. Managing Director.

Dear Marco, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent work you did finding my flights to Cape Town. It has been 4 years since I was last home, and with all the disruptions in life over the past few years, it has not been possible to visit my parents. It has also highlighted to me how important spending time with family really is. I had looked for flights, but they were all at 'silly' prices. I called you, (which is what I should have done at first!), explained what I was looking for, and you responded quickly, not only with the flights that got me home when directly, when I needed to be there, but were only £20 more than I paid 4 years ago, going via Dubai! I will be recommending you very highly to everyone I know who is making travel plans. The service and professionalism are exemplary. Your sincerely Gareth Leven Charles Derby Mortgage Bureau Milton Keynes

Sent by Lucie Howard

Dear Marco, I would just like to say thank you for making the booking of our holidays so simple. We told you what our requirements were, and you found various options for us to look at. You gave us information about each option and links to find out more. Both hotels looked great, and we are really looking forward to finally getting away. Moreover, you have always been available to answer my questions, and after the last few years with Covid, we really feel confident to go away - knowing you are always there if we need help. We will definitely book with you again and I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. Kind Regards Lucie & Chris Howard Leo Bookkeeping Services Ltd Olney - Milton Keynes

Sent by Sarah West

Thank you, Marco! You saved me time and money - and my sanity. Looking at our family trip to Australia and working out how to make the flights to three areas of the country over Christmas and New Year, was more than a little overwhelming. It was great to be able to pass it over to you, knowing that you could sort out flights and accommodation, where needed. The advice you offered for passports and visas was valuable too, as again, you saved me time trying to decipher different processes and procedures on various websites. Kind Regards Sarah West Office Manager Acorn Commercial Finance Northamptonshire

Sent by Andy Parker

Dear Marco, My wife Melanie and I, would just like to drop you a few lines in appreciation and thanks for our recent trip to London you organized for us. I didn't have the time to hunt through websites to book hotels and theatre ticketing sites, to arrange a special birthday treat for Melanie. So it was fabulous that we were able to call on your expertise to book the package for us. You sent tickets to see 'Mamma Mia', in advance, and the hotel you chose was ideal for shopping and with easy access to restaurants. We would have no hesitation in planning a holiday with you in the future, and we have already booked a family holiday to Lanzarote with you in the New Year, which we are looking forward to immensely. Once again, thank you for your service. Kind Regards Andy & Mel Parker Directors of Parkers Decorating Limited Northampton

"Eternal Charm: The Timeless Allure of Rome."

14 January 2024

Many years ago, I had the task of creating or maintaining commercial agreements with hotels in Rome. As such, I used to travel regularly to Rome. Dubbed the “Eternal City”, Rome is a testament to the grandeur of ancient civilizations and the enduring allure of history. Steeped in a rich tapestry of culture, art, and architecture, it seamlessly blends the old and the new. A legend dating back to

Many think of Grenada as just one island, but it comprises 3 islands: Grenada, Caricou and Petite Martinique. It’s a place where a turquoise sea, meets pristine beaches of both black and white sand.

Is Qatar the new Dubai?

30 September 2023

IS QATAR THE NEW DUBAI? It certainly has ambitions to take over Dubai as one of the 'winter sun' destinations of choice, for the British travelling public. Strategically located at the crossroads of East and West, Qatar is an average of 6-7 hours away from major international hubs. But for those who want to escape to somewhere warm, Qatar is an ideal getaway for many reasons. And whilst Dubai rema

Kerala's Backwaters are truly one of the 10 paradises of the world.

When I mention India to my clients, they usually tell me that their first thoughts are of the Taj Mahal, the hot bustle of Mumbai or Delhi, the Golden Temple of Amritsar or the Rose Palace of Rajasthan. The classic tour of India often includes many of these destinations and sights. But in a country so vast, not surprisingly, it has numerous hidden gems, that many miss, and one of these is the ‘Ba

Firenze - The Jewel of Tuscany

06 May 2023

Surrounded by beautiful Tuscan hills, the history of Florence stretches back almost 3,000 years. Originally founded by the Etruscans between the 6th and 7th centuries BC, by 59 B.C. it had become a Roman settlement. Florence prospered during the Roman, Byzantine, Medieval, and Renaissance periods of history. It emerged as an independent city-state in 1425, but with the unification of Italy under

'Benvenuto' to the beguiling islands of Ischia and Capri

04 May 2023

Whilst the Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia are fairly well known within the UK market, less well known are the two beautiful islands of Ischia and Capri. Both islands lie at the entrance to the bay of Naples, and both have a unique identity and history. (By the way, in Italian, the emphasis is either on the first or middle syllable, never at the end – so it’s CApri and not CaPRI and ‘ch’ i

The Best Cities to Visit in Portugal

10 March 2023

Portugal is among my top recommendations in Europe, whether you’re looking for a couple’s break, a family holiday, a foodie experience, a cultural escape or a beach getaway. And while it’s perhaps best known for the many Blue Flag beaches of its sun-drenched Algarve region, I also think it’s the perfect spot for a city break. Porto: It would be hard to dream up a more romantic city than Porto. T

Discover and explore fascinating Sardinia

Sardinia has some of the dreamiest beaches you’ll find in Europe. But there’s more to Sardinia than just beautiful beaches. There's something about Sardinia that sets it apart from the large number of holiday islands that scatter in the Mediterranean. As DH Lawrence put it - rather succinctly. “Sardinia is different”. Ever popular with Italian Tourists, it’s not at all mass market, in the way so

Step back in time to discover enchanting Puglia

Puglia, renowned for its "Trulli" as well as its great wines and food is a true gem of a region. Undoubtedly, the land of the sun and sea. It is the “heel” of the Italian boot that looks out over the Mediterranean Sea, meeting the Adriatic Sea on the east side and the Ionian Sea on the west side. Now one of the most famous of Italian regions, it has everything an Italophile craves in abundanc

If you're going to South East Asia, don't miss out on Singapore

15 February 2023

Nowhere else in the world is quite like Singapore. Located at the southernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula, the tiny (slightly smaller than New York City) island is a towering city-state of superlatives. But let’s dispel the first myth; it’s a city of not just one island. You may not know, but Singapore’s land area includes 64 offshore islands that surround the main island. These include Sentos

If you love Italy, you'll adore Sicily

14 February 2023

My mother was born in Sicily, in 1933, in Messina, just across from Reggio Calabria and the mainland. Her father ran the local Kia Ora factory – and the family were well off for the time. They even had their own car! His death when she was 7 years old, and the war changed all that… And so it was, that my sisters and I, whilst in our early teens, were fortunate enough to spend many summers with my
