Nikki F On Location: Baveno and the Magic of Lake Maggiore

Picture the morning light on Lake Maggiore, the Borromean Islands floating offshore and the mountains rising behind Baveno. That was my setting for the Barrhead Travel 2026 Conference in the Italian Lakes, and it was every bit as beautiful as it sounds. Yet the real...

On Location with Nikki Findlay... Some cities shout for your attention. Amsterdam simply waits for you to slow down. On my recent weekend break, I went looking for the real city behind the postcards: the cafés, the canal-side conversations and the little bars where...

Very Competitive Pricing

"I have had the pleasure of dealing with Arlinda and Nicky at experience the world travel on a few occasions and have nothing but praise for their efforts. They go over and above to answer all of your questions and are always at the end of the phone if you need anything. It is these important details, together with their very competitive pricing, that make us prefer to use them over an internet company. For these reasons we highly recommend them.:)"

Great Recommendation

"Having just returned from a 5 night stay in New York I just wanted to say thank you to Experience the World Travel for recommending the Refinery Hotel we were well looked after by the staff there and any requests were dealt with quickly! The location was perfect as we were quite central to visiting the sights and attractions of NY. Thank you for providing a list of places to visit and recommending to book advance tickets particularly for the Empire State Building. We’ll be back to see you soon to book our summer holiday, thanks again."

Simply The Best

The staff in Experience the World are simply the best. So wonderful to find people who actually listen to what we want and find out if the trip we envisage and all our requirements are possible. Thank you ladies for looking after us, we feel very special when we pop into your office. M & G - Bletchley

Friendly and Professional Travel Agent

We used Experience The World to book our holiday last year and cannot praise the service from Nikki highly enough. We couldn't have asked for a more professional or friendly travel agent. Our holiday was tailor made to our requirements and was considerably cheaper than other quotes which was great! Would not hesitate to recommend Experience The World travel and we'll definitely be visiting them again

Went The Extra Mile

Nikki was a great help in both developing and managing our holiday plans. She gave us prompt service and really went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed for our trip. It took all of the burden from us - we just had to go and enjoy the holiday!

Nothing Is Too Much Trouble

It was a pleasure booking our holiday with the lovely ladies at Experience The World Travel. They spent a lot of time researching and pricing our dream holiday to The Maldives for 2014. We are quite fussy and know what we want but nothing was too much trouble for them while they patiently trawled numerous holiday companies, packages and resorts before they found the one that was perfect for us! Thanks Nikki and Arlinda, we will definitely be back to book our 2015 holiday with you soon and would not hesitate in recommending you to all our friends, family and colleagues. People should not just "Experience the World" but they should experience "Experience The World Travel". We love it!

Friendly And Helpful Service

I found my experience with Experience the world travel friendly and helpful and everything was explained clearly and the prices quoted where the best around at the time of booking.

I have already booked 2 holidays through them so far. One of them being a family 50th holiday including members who live all round the world and trying to tie it in as one holiday. They found flight and accommodation for us all and looking forward to this holiday to come summer 2014. I will continue to book my holiday through them in the future due the friendly staff, efficient service and hassle free booking. Why don't you give them a go and see how easy it is yourself.

Great Tips And Recommendations

For ‘stress free’ holiday planning, look no further than Arlinda, Nikki and their team, at Experience the World Travel. Arlinda put together a great New York break for us, with tips and recommendations (together with a list of shops we simply have to visit). Things such as ‘don’t book breakfast – you need to go out and experience it’ (then we find the Hotel gave us complimentary breakfast any way).and ‘don’t book airport transfers – you must have a ride in a New York taxi’. It’s these things that really make the difference to going on holiday and then really experiencing the place you are visiting. You will not find a better level of service in the High Street so turn off the computer now!!

Amazing Company 10/10!

I've been using the company for over 4 years now and I'm more than impressed with their services. Not only do they find the best accommodation to fit my personal wants/interests but they do it with the fixed budget I give them. Whenever visiting the Woburn office, the staff are always happy and very helpful. As a customer, I never feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. I've just recently returned from Lanzarotee and I had the most brilliant time. Everything from the flight, transport to the hotel and the hotel itself were amazing! Everything I was promised was more than fulfilled.
