Julie Kenyon

Hello my name is Julie and welcome to my website which I hope will become a regular port of call for you. I consider myself very fortunate to work as a Personal Travel Agent, and pride myself on always finding the perfect holidays for my clients. The benefit of having your own Personal Travel Agent is I will save you time and take the hassle out of trawling the internet, looking at Trip Advisor and all the other sites when trying to make the right holiday choice.

Working directly with me will not cost you a penny more and avoids dealing with call centres, booking agents and intermediaries.

I have access to all the same systems as the internet travel companies and most of the travel agents. I am available six days a week from early morning into the evening to fit around my clients’ needs. You will always speak to me and won’t be passed round different people who don’t understand your specific requirements.

I am based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and have worked in different areas of the travel industry for over 25 years, including high street travel agents, specialist tour operators as well as being based overseas for many different travel companies.

I lived and worked in Kalkan, Turkey for six years and gained unique knowledge of some of the country’s best ‘off the beaten track’ places to visit. I have spent time in Istanbul, Cappodocia, Cirali, Olympus, Dalyan, Antalya and Akyaka. I also worked in Finland for a Lapland holiday company managing the Santa Lapland breaks.

Now I have my own family, I love booking these magical trips for my clients and seeing the lovely photos they send me on their return. I have travelled extensively and have visited Disneyworld Florida, Clearwater, New York, Dubai, as well as mainland Spain, the Balearics, the Canaries, Greece, Croatia and more!

I understand the importance of your well-deserved holiday and you can trust that I will get exclusive prices and late deals for every budget, from an overnight stay in the UK to include a West-End show to a Round the World Cruise. Call me today for a competitive quote and unrivalled personal service, Please feel free to let me know what you'd like to see advertised on my website too.

My last holiday was

February 2024 - Marrakesh Morocco

WOW what can I say about Marrakesh...

We did a whirlwind 3 days in February half term and stayed in a traditional Riad in the Medina area, we loved the whole atmosphere, the colours, the weather the smells and the landscapes. We braved the souks with our own guide and travelled out up 6000 feet in the Atlas mountains to see the natural waterfalls and a short hike through some of the most stunning scenery I have ever seen.

August 2023 - Madeira

We spent a fantastic week in Madeira staying at the 4* Porto Mare Hotel overlooking the Atlantic, everything about this hotel was luxurious, the rooms, the food ( we did half board) but you can just include breakfast, the cleanest pools and fantastic spa. We managed the Funchal cable car and a wander round the town, the people are so kind and we had a fantastic week there.

May 2023 - Back to a favourite beautiful Kalkan in Turkey to visit old friends and enjoy the vista's and of course the choice of fantastic restaurants. No visit to Kalkan is complete without a Gulet boat trip to quiet bays and clear blue sea to swim, plus the luxury beach clubs now dotted around the Kalkan coast.

October 2022 - Myself and my teenage son recently visited New York for 4 nights, we made sure our itinerary was planned before we arrived to make the most of our city pass and to see everything we wanted. As we booked a year ahead we got a great deal on a hotel including breakfast which is quite rare in NYC. In August 2022, we dipped our toes into cruising holiday and had 4 nights on the beautiful Enchanted Princess ship from Southampton and visited Amsterdam and Guernsey, we loved the high tech Princess Medallion system for ordering food and drink and accessing your cabin, we also upgraded to Princess Plus and our drinks were all included.

My next holiday is

We are lucky to have a couple of trips booked for 2024, in March a 2 night city break to Seville with a friend, then on the Celebrity Apex cruise ship in July for a week visiting Lisbon, Porto and Vigo and cheekily 4 days in August too visiting Bruges and Amsterdam.
