What my customers say

Liz has the patience of a saint and is meticulous in all that she does. I must have been one of her worst "leaving things to the last minute" travellers but she pulled out all the stops to get me on decent flights and at the accommodation I wanted, all at the most reasonable price. I've no hesitation in recommending her excellent services to others.

Kerys Williams is the one to book your holiday with. She has been amazing, we literally just sat back and left her to it and she even sent us a thank you card in the post! x

Thanks again, as always your a star.

Well Tony Manning , looks like you have come up trumps again. Hotel is fabulous, every thing was spot on could not ask for more ????

Thank you for a fantastic trip.

Thanks Nat for putting together the best break in New York , found flight times to fit in with the schedule & a really well located Hotel. Looking forward to Next year already xx

Would like to say a big thank you to Natalie Cannell for arranging our holiday. We didn't have to worry about anything but enjoying ourselves. Everything organised with professionalism. The grand finnahlee to our holiday was the Gay Pride weekend, the march and fireworks were amazing and felt as if it was especially for us as it came directly past our apartments. I would recommend Natalie to any of my friends or family if they are looking for the personal touch.

Thank you for your email and itinerary received this morning. In the interest of economy we have decided to assemble our holiday completely independently as in previous years, and would like to thank you for your time spent on our behalf.

Thanx for sorting our Oz n Thailand trip Natalie. Excellent service tailor made our holiday and got us a really good price !

Hiya Carol, Welcome home to you too. Hope you had a fab one and that the pounds haven’t piled on too heavily . We had a fab time, the ship was lovely and the scenery absolutely stunning. The meal we had at Sindu was, I thought, the best meal of the cruise. There were so many little add on’s that they brought out with the meal that we weren’t expecting and the actual meal was lovely. I would definitely eat there again. We had a great time at the Ice Bar in Bergen, a real giggle. The o
