Overwhelmed by all the different choices out there?

Where will your next amazing holiday be? Let us decide!

Comparing too many holiday options can be challenging and become a roadblock. There are so many great destinations on everyone’s bucket list. Which one will you explore next? What if you’re missing out on some fantastic destinations just because you never considered them?

Mystery destination holidays are not a new concept, but the way we do them is. There are no hidden costs to our packages and we include flights, accommodation and transfers as standard. Where something may not be included, it will be made crystal clear to you before any payments are taken. We work on live pricing and don’t use per-determined hotels or destinations. Each quote is tailored to your exact requirements and preferred dates by a licensed and trained Travel Agent. All our mystery destination holidays come with complete ABTA and ATOL protection for your peace of mind.

Worried about what to pack or what the weather will be like? Don’t stress. We’ve got you! We will send a destination weather forecast and recommended packing list to suite the location at least 7 days in advance. We will also send fun holiday countdowns with clues about where you might be headed at well timed intervals in the lead up to your departure.

Whether you request a customised quote or live spontaneously and pre-book a popular package type on offer, your trip will be fully bespoke and offer you great value for money. Top quality surprise holidays are what we’re all about!
