15 November to 6 December 2019 my wife and I spent the most wonderful time together celebrating our silver wedding. Catherine Lornie organised our trip with precision and not a detail was left out. From start… to finish the holiday went without a hitch with all transfers going like clockwork and packages organised perfectly. 10 days in the beautiful relaxing Maldives, then 4 nights in Dubai seeing all the sites followed by a cruise of a lifetime on MSC Bellissima around many different parts of the UAE. Already planning the next trip with Catherine at TTCE. Thanks again, Gavin and Catriona

Just want to say thank you to Catherine. Currently sitting in 27 degree heat with a cocktail in Tenerife. Messaged her a week before we wanted to leave and she booked and organised everything for us right down to airport parking and sent me all the documents via post and email so I literally did nothing. Thanks Catherine!!!

Just home from a family trip to euro disney. We booked our holiday with Catherine, and I cannot fault our experience. I gave Catherine the dates and she worked her magic and done the rest. Not only did we get an amazing holiday, Catherine managed to get us "breakfast with disney characters" at no extra cost, memories my kids will treasure for life.… Also as Catherine had visited disney herself she was able to give us lots of really helpful and useful information, totally maximising our experience. This is our first time using The Travel Company and given our "A star" service, it certainly
