Tailored Travel News - March 2015

Of course, we can take your group on tour to Paris. But, unless they stay in the outskirts of the city and so run the gauntlet of the Paris rush hour each day, they’ll also pay top prices. Rates for central Paris hotels of a suitable standard are not cheap to put it mildly. We think we may have a rather special alternative for you. Why not stay on full board basis on a luxury river cruiser moored on the Seine, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower?

Maureen Wilcox, the group organiser for Reigate and Redhill U3A, has been travelling with Tailored Travel for 10 years now. She started with North Wales in 2005 and then annual tours to the Rhine, Holland, Valkenburg and Northumberland. Since her first flight tour to Jersey in 2011, her group have flown to Lake Maggiore, Northern Spain and Lake Garda. This May she will take 63 to Croatia’s Istrian Riviera.

Running great group holidays is really just a by-product of our aim to make things as easy as possible for you, the group travel organisers. Our latest way of seeking to help you is to put your group’s own tour on our website so that you and your members can view the tour online and share it with friends and family. Hopefully, this will make it easier for you to distribute details of your tour to as wide an audience as possible.

After Kate’s departure in November to take up a job closer to her Harlow home so that she can better balance the demands of being a new mum, we were delighted to welcome Becca and Petra into our Operations Department in December. With Nicola, Louise and the Operations Manager, Sandy, there are now five in the department and we have a great team to ensure that everything that the Sales team promise is delivered on tour.
