Uli has been exceptional in recommending, booking and managing all the paperwork, correspondences and tickets for our amazing family summer holiday to New York and St Lucia.
She is extremely efficient and provided regular updates during the booking process and a full pack of information pre-departure. Uli also checked in with us during the holiday to ensure the arrangements were running smoothly and to provide important flight documents. She is a very pleasant lady and provides a high standard of individualised customer care to her clients.
I highly recommend using Uli for any travel requirements.

Uli has been organising our travel for more than a year. My husband and I are frequent travellers so at any one time have several trips being organised. Uli has taken away all the stress of juggling flights, hotels, car hire, sightseeing trips etc. Uli has organised trips to Cyprus, Sicily, South Africa, Italy and several parts of Spain to name just some. Uli’s attention to detail is exceptional and we have no concerns on any element being forgotten which was normally the case when we did the planning ourselves! The precision and speed with which she works is remarkable and she is marvellous at super-quick planning if we decide to travel with little notice. She has, without doubt, transformed our lives! I thoroughly recommend Uli as a first class travel manager

We asked Uli to help us put together a Vietnam itinerary for March 25. We had a few ideas, but Uli has filled in the gaps and produced a trip which really will be the holiday of a lifetime.

We have just returned from our family holiday in Italy. It was a two centre break and Uli organised everything from flights, villa, car hire, train travel between Pulia & Rome as well as hotel booking in the city centre and some local tours .
We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our holiday and all the suggested accommodation more than lived up to our expectations. Despite perhaps not being the easiest trip to organise, given the itinerary, everything worked seamlessly thanks to the effort & dedication that Uli put in. She kept us constantly up to date and was always on hand to answer any queries before and during our trip. She also gave us a comprehensive pack of information/details before we left and talked us through it. The travel counsellor app was also extremely useful.
This was the first time Uli had organised a holiday for us but we would definitely do it again and would not hesitate to recommend her.

We got in touch with Uli as we were unsure where to visit next year to celebrate some major milestones. Her knowledge of the different countries was very good and she helped us narrow it down to two countries. She then went away and came up with very different itineraries for each country, which were within the budget we had set. After another consultation, we asked her to tweak a couple of things, which she was very happy to do. We then had to make a decision!!

Just to give you some feedback of the hotels :-
Rome hotel was fantastic ( great recommendation ), loved the room, roof bar nice, service and location was spot on. We were lucky as Rome was not too busy and it was easier to see all of the sites !
Sperlonga was a really nice beach resort, restaurants in old town were lovely, great views, we had a good time.
The car hire at Rome we got a free upgrade which was nice. :)

I would highly recommend Uli for any travel plans and can't wait to use her for our next holiday. Thank you Uli

I recently visited Sicily with Uli's help and the hotel was fantastic with views of Mount Etna and the vegetation was spectacular, so green and lush. The hotel was so accommodating and incredibly kind. It is very car friendly, so no walking around the area of Etna itself although neighbouring towns are great for strolling. Uli kept us updated on our delays on the flight home and was incredibly attentive with making sure we knew what was going on. Also, the phone call and postcard welcoming us back was an amazing touch. The service is amazing with Uli and she goes out of her way for you. This is the third break this year through Uli and I look forward to next years breaks and would highly recommend Uli.

We have just returned from another great trip organised by Uli. Our India holiday was everything we hoped for. Gorgeous hotels and lodges and we felt like VIPs throughout. The standard of all the accommodation that we stayed in was excellent and the food was amazing.
We felt that we could contact Uli at any time, but we didn’t need to. We will always ask Uli to organise our holidays because it’s stress free and she really cares about our experiences.

I contacted Uli after being made "head" of organising a villa holiday for a group of 12 people. Knowing that I had to book the flights, the cars, the insurance, the villa all together meant that I had a headache even before I started.
I told this all to Uli and she said "leave it with me". Within a few days I had a had a full costing with location, prices and dates, with just one price! Such a relief.
We are yet to book due to coordinating work holidays but when we do Uli will be the first to know!

We booked our big Mauritius holiday with Uli. As we are living in Austria, we normally book trips there. Uli showed just how much service and attention to detail you get if you book with her. She's a true travel expert and found a choice of lovely hotels, exactly what we were looking for. We were impressed by the suggested properties and even more astonished to find out that Uli's Travel Counsellor rates were actually better than what we could find for flights from Zurich. Add the private transfers, some extra services included with the hotel and the knowledge that we will be well looked after by Uli during our whole holiday, we cannot fault Uli's services and product. We will certainly be booking with Uli again in the future and recommend her to all our friends and family in Austria. 10/10

Uli managed to arrange and book our 16 day Safari trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar...just a week and a half before we travelled. She found us an excellent company to travel with and the places we stayed were truly amazing. We were looked after so well and every lodge and hotel we stayed in really cared about our vegetarian/vegan dietary needs. In fact the food that was prepared for us was outstanding.
Uli was passionate about giving us a holiday to remember and knowing that she cared so much was invaluable. We felt relaxed as soon as we arrived and that feeling continued throughout our stay. We cannot thank Uli enough for this important family holiday.

All the trips were planned into the schedule very effectively, they were at ideal times of the day and fitted into the schedule perfectly. Everything from flights, accommodation and trips worked out superbly well.

We visited Jungle Aqua Park, Hurghada, Egypt 18th-25th January 2017. The best part of it was not having to lift a finger AGAIN to book it!!
Uli did everything for us, from finding the resort to booking seats in the plane, there and back and also arranged a private transfer to & from resort. We stayed at Airport Inn Gatwick the night before as the flight was at 10am so didn't want to fight the M25. Highly recommend it!
The resort was beautiful to look at when we arrived at 7pm .
We had a 5 bed room with sliding partition doors. We asked for ground floor facing anywhere lol. Walk in shower that was best ever and loads of room
. In the morning we explored the resort. Impressed by the many restaurants; we tried all of them but really liked the outdoor BBQ. I was watching what I ate due to a previous illness and found it easy to eat without having to touch salads etc, although to be honest I prob needn't have worried.
The Aqua Park was big and at one end of resort but due to time of year not busy, also had heated paddling pool
Wherever we stood there was a pool, 22 in all although only another 2 were heated.
Double beds and 4 posters round some pools and only single row of beds anywhere. Mattresses on a lot. Nipped over bridges to restaurants and ate lunch on our ground floor patio.
Didn't stay up for entertainment so can't comment.
Very quite at night due English term time. We found mainly German people.
Designated beach area we found very uninviting and served food only at lunch we think.
Shuttle bus to beach good service
. All inclusive was just that.
No extra to pay unless you want branded shorts. Bottled water on all tables at restaurants or just ask.
Coffee bar in reception was great along with the staff there. All staff throughout smiling.
Would definately go back, not in summer. 3000 max. cap. with sun bed trouble, only 900 when we were their.
