Tailored Travel News - May 2016

The Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the former Berlin Wall, Alexanderplatz and Museum Island are more than enough to enthuse and excite your group on a five day tour of Berlin. But just a two hour drive south of Germany’s capital lies Dresden whose own celebrated art museums and reconstructed old town offers either a wonderful two night add-on to your Berlin tour or a destination itself in the heart of Saxony for your next group tour.

David Moye has been the travel organiser for North Lincolnshire DFAS and before that East Midlands Area DFAS for 10 years now. In 2013, having travelled to all parts of the British Isles, David felt it was time to expand his group’s horizons with an annual flight tour. After spotting an advert in NADFAS Review and then on the recommendation of other NADFAS travel organisers at the next Area meeting, it was to Tailored Travel that David turned for his group's first foreign venture, a tour of the Amalfi Coast, Herculaneum, Pompeii and Naples.

We all feel better for a little care and attention. When you are pampered or get your hair done, maybe you have a bit more of a spring in your step. And the Tailored Travel website is no different to the rest of us. We’ve given it a bit of a makeover to give it a cleaner, fresher feel. In reality, it’s still the same source of inspiration for our Group Travel Organisers as it was before but now it’s easier on the eye and easier to navigate around. It's also now mobile friendly so you can easily navigate the site on your tablet or smart phone.

Back in February 2006, Michael and John had a tough decision to make. Which of two excellent candidates were they to choose as the company’s newest recruit? Damian came from a sales background in the group travel market. While Louise’ experience as a PA made her the perfect candidate to work alongside Sandy in the Operations Department. It was Michael who came up with the inspired solution. We recruited them both!
