Whether your dream holiday is discovering your own backyard, or wining and dining your way around Europe, all holidays have one thing in common, they can be a minefield to plan and organise alone.

There’s so much to arrange, flights, accommodation, transport in and around the country, visas. Not to forget navigating the border restrictions many countries have in place. It’s enough to turn your dream holiday into a nightmare before you even leave your house.

What’s worse, if you forget something or make a mistake, all your planning and preparation could end up being for nothing!

So, how do you get your well-deserved dream holiday effortlessly? The answer is simple – a bespoke holiday.

Bespoke holidays are no longer reserved just for the rich and famous. They’re an affordable and effortless way for you to get your dream holiday with all the bells and whistles but without all the hassle.

What’s a bespoke holiday

When it comes to booking a fixed package deal with a travel agent, you may discover after reading through the brochures or webpages that you may have to do a number of things you don’t want to, just to achieve the one or two things you do want to do on your trip. You can’t choose your:

• Accommodation
• Locations to visit
• How long you stay for

You can’t even choose which day you want to depart and return in most cases. The entire process can leave you with a bad taste in your mouth and erode the excitement of your impending trip.

This is where bespoke holidays come in. Bespoke holidays don’t have fixed package deals. They can’t, because they are individually tailored to your needs, wants and desires from beginning to end.

A bespoke holiday will deliver your dream holiday by working out a travel plan and itinerary individually tailored to your travel needs. What could be better than that?

What do bespoke tours include?

A bespoke holiday isn’t a one-size-fits-all travel package. Every moment of your trip will be considered, to ensure you have a seamless travel experience that you’ll remember for all the right reasons.

Because of its highly individualised nature, every bespoke tour will have slightly different elements, but some things you can expect to receive when booking a bespoke tour are:

• Flights booked
• Transfers arranged
• Accommodation sorted
• Tours organised
• Administration support for those finer details like visas and insurance

Of course, because every bespoke holiday is tailored just for you, you will be actively involved in the decision-making process to ensure your dream holiday becomes a reality.

What is available on a bespoke tour?

When it comes to bespoke, the world is your oyster! Your bespoke holiday is your dream holiday, so this is your chance to dust off your bucket-list and have that adventure you have been fantasising about. Because every bespoke holiday is individually planned and organised to meet your needs, there are no fixed packages.

There are, however, some common themes you might like to use to guide your journey.

City life tours

If dining out every night and enjoying the vibe and nightlife in new and exciting cities sounds like your dream holiday, then this type of tour is your best bet. Take the opportunity to get out and about, explore popular attractions and get immersed in the culture of your dream destination.

Relaxation tours

Perhaps you’re yearning to slow down and relax? Relaxation tours could be just the ticket. Take the opportunity to improve your tan, stroll stunning coastlines or perhaps have a sneaky afternoon nap! Relaxation tours are about giving you the opportunity to unwind from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life and enjoy the opportunity to engage in your surroundings at your own pace.

Adventure tours

Do you like to take a few risks and get your heart pumping? Look no further than an adventure tour. Go off the beaten track and trek through rainforests, raft down rapids or explore the wonders of the ocean on a scuba diving adventure. Your adrenaline desires will be well satisfied with this option.

Don’t know what you want?

Of course, it’s entirely possible that you don’t know exactly what you want to do. Perhaps it’s a combination of excitement, relaxation, and adventure. A bespoke holiday really can be your dream holiday which  can feature as little or as much of all three themes as you want. You really can have your cake and eat it too.

What if something goes wrong while you’re away?

Along with individually tailoring your travel plans and itineraries, when you book a bespoke holiday, you also book support for while you’re away. You will be kept up to date with any changes taking place in the destinations you are visiting, and if anything unfortunate happens during your dream holiday, you will have access to 24/7 support, which includes arranging alternative travel if required. What could give you better peace of mind than that?
