Vacation Planning.....

Are you finding the task of planning your vacation to England difficult?
Are there too many choices yet not enough information?
Would you like help?

I provide a full vacation planning service and am here to help you

I know how confusing it is to plan a tour to a foreign country. There are so many choices of places to see, so many different tour operators, options for fly/drive or using the trains and busses or just how to plan the best route to maximize your valuable time

What are the benefits of using a Travel Planner?

  • An experienced Travel Planner can save you considerable time as they will already be familiar with the area you want to visit.
  • I am familiar with the distances involved between places, traffic conditions and potential delays that may be encountered along the way
  • With so many choices, I can suggest hotels to suit your desire and budget
  • The best mode of transport to use on your tour is a major deciding factor and can end up being cost effective or transversely, very expensive and these costs can be minimized
  • I can help you handle bookings for hotels, car hire, rail passes, day trips and transatlantic airfares, especially where a small group is traveling together
  • Acts as a central point to create a single package with consideration to the budget expenditure total

What does a Travel Planner Cost?

  • Surprisingly, just a small fraction of the total cost of your vacation, especially where a family or business group are traveling together
  • The rates vary depending upon the length of the vacation and the number of people traveling
  • Once you decide to use my services and we have agreed upon the total amount, I will send you a contract for your signature. A 75% payment is required with the signed contract and the balance due when the planning document has been prepared

What do I get for my Retainer?

  • Personal service
  • A travel planner who was born and grew up in England and visits several times a year
  • In-depth telephone and E-mail consultations to define your interests so as to accurately create your vacation
  • Suggestions and costs for your transatlantic air travel
  • Transportation suggestions, from private coach, train or private self drive car based upon your numbers and level of comfort moving around in a foreign country
  • A detailed route plan with suggestions for places to stay and visit refined from several initial different route plan suggestions
  • For parties over 20, access to private dinners at Stately Homes
  • Hotel suggestions, day trips, walking tours or City tours
  • Places of Heritage interest that you may like to visit beyond the regular tourist routes

Do I book your hotels, car hire, train and air travel?

  • Yes. However, if you prefer to make your own bookings, telephone and fax contact numbers are included in your tour wallet
  • A small additional charge will be made to cover the cost of telephone voice and fax charges

Can I have a tour guide accompany us on our tour?

  • Yes. I can arrange for a certified tour guide to join you on your tour
  • The guide could meet you at the airport, join you later in the tour or just for a single day entirely arranged to suit your personal requirements
My services are moderately priced and can
save you frustration and valuable time.
