Amanda Holidays

Hi Amanda, Other than a short luggage delay at Gatwick, our walking holiday to Austria was one of our very best - the whole trip was...

How we travel and where we visit were perhaps amongst the many things that the pandemic caused us to consider differently, especially...

The Noyes know how much of a ‘big kid’ I am when it comes to the Orlando Theme Parks, so they were confident to ask me to plan their eagerly anticipated family holiday over Easter 2020. By September 2018, I had secured everything for their 15-night stay, adding theme park tickets the following summer, and then it was a nine-month countdown to departure. Then Covid hit and lingered long enough to enforce multiple re-schedules, and then a mere two years after the original trave

Howard and Nicola have booked some fantastic holidays with me, which have included road trips in California and Western Canada, and a tailor-made tour around Cuba. When they contacted me looking for a once-in-a-lifetime Tanzanian safari and beach holiday for early 2022, I knew just what to suggest. From booking to travelling, we had to contend with a few pandemic-related flight schedule changes, but we got there, and I couldn’t wait to hear how things turned out... We were ke

I have booked some amazing holidays for Jason and Julie which have included a family Silversea cruise, and a week in Dubai shortly before...

Buoyed by a brighter outlook for travel, many are understandably eager to start catching up on holidays, including finally managing to...

I have arranged some fantastic holidays for Steven since 2016 when he and a friend drove the iconic Route 66. Singapore was high on his...

One of the most awful consequences of this pandemic has been not being able to see loved ones in person. As our bubbles hopefully begin to expand as more people become vaccinated, time with family and friends will become even more important. A great way to reconnect next year will be with a multi-generational holiday which will create new and lasting memories. With that in mind I have found a fantastic offer for Orlando that I wanted to share. Having been six times, I see mys

I couldn't possibly have a website that didn't feature Orlando in Florida - having been six times - and with my next visit lined up for 2023. Orlando is a fantastic option for fun and excitement and you certainly don't have to be a fan of pulse-pounding rollercoasters and rides to thoroughly enjoy it. My husband isn’t a fan at all but still has it as his number one destination. There is so much here for every member of the family, whatever their age. Whilst many do of course

The Happy Planet Index measures what matters: sustainable wellbeing for all. It tells us how well the world’s nations are doing at achieving long, happy, sustainable lives and guess who once again has topped the recent rankings of over 150 countries? Costa Rica is home to the greatest density of species in the world and its residents have higher wellbeing and live longer than those of many rich nations, including the USA and the UK. All of this is achieved with a per capita

If a little exhilaration and extreme activities press your buttons, then the 'adventure capital of the world' New Zealand is for you. It...

Chris and Jane like to plan their holidays in advance and I really enjoy bringing their ideas to life. It was inspiring to work on their Costa Rica and Nicaragua adventure, and I love how they immerse themselves into a country taking advantage of local tours. Unfortunately, due to local unrest, Nicaragua became a no travel destination, which gave some added time to further explore Costa Rica and especially its diverse wildlife. Here’s how they found it... Our choice of holida

Having visited Orlando six times at different stages of my life thus far, I feel qualified to provide some answers to questions I am often asked: when is the best time to go and where are the best places to stay? Your options will obviously be dictated by personal preference and when you are able to travel, and remember, I am just a big kid at heart who loves a family holiday. I've stayed in all types of accommodation and travelled at different times of the year, as part of a
