Kind Words
from Clients
"We have booked a number of cruises through Simon over the past few years. He gives a very personal service, competitively priced, sorting out any problems in a professional manner. He does his best to ensure the holiday you finally secure with him will be one to remember for all the right reasons. And when you are ready for your next holiday/cruise, he will be there to assist through the whole process once more!"

"Amazing..... If anyone is considering using Designer Travel I'd recommend them all day long. Nothing was any trouble. Between Simon and his wife Kristy they sorted out our wedding in the Dominican Republic. From start to finish they stayed in touch, if they didn't know the answer to our questions they made sure they found them out. I honestly will say I will only use Designer travel moving forward, Friendly, approachable and reliable everything you need when booking a holiday. Thankyou Simon & Kristy for making our day amazing..."

"Designer Travel by Simon Collinge was the most helpful and efficient person, and nothing was any trouble. we recently lost our family holiday which was booked with Thomas Cook. I phoned Simon at Designer travel and gave him our list of requirements and with in two hours he had found us what we wanted and although the system kept crashing he managed to get us the last 3 rooms. We all had a fantastic holiday in Fuerteventura... Thanks again Simon for saving our family holiday."
- Susan F
"At 9pm last night our holiday was cancelled by text when we were all packed ready to leave for the airport the following morning. The Jet2 helplines were closed until 8am the following day and no other available holidays were showing online. Luckily, for the first time ever, I’d booked our trip through an agent after seeing Simon being recommended. He worked until midnight last night trying to find us somewhere else to go. He understood what we wanted and kept going until he found something for us. He acted as though his own holiday had been cancelled not ours! Every single holiday I book from now will be with Simon, I highly recommend you do the same. Fantastic service and very tolerant of my pestering! "

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my money safe if I book with you?
Yes: Designer Travel is an Accredited Body Member of Hays Travel Limited, ATOL 5534. We are a Member of ABTA which means you have the benefit of ABTA's assistance and Code of Conduct. We provide financial protection for your money when you buy a package holiday.
FAQ
Can you help with booking accommodation and flights separately?
Whilst we can book accommodation or flights separately, we don't normally do this. Most of the holidays we sell are classed as 'Package holidays', even if we source flights, hotels, tours and extras separately, we would still normally put these together as a 'Package' under ATOL 5534.
However, in some instances if you buy other travel arrangements such as accommodation only this protection may not apply and we will advise you accordingly.
Do you offer assistance with visa applications and requirements?
Although we are able to advise on Visa or entry requirements for the places you are booking and where you can get more information and assistance if required, as Visa application processes can require an amount of personal information, we do not normally offer assistance with these.
How do I contact you in case of emergencies during my trip?
At the time of booking you will receive several documents, on those will be all the emergency contact details for both myself, our out of hours emergency team and also any relevant operator emergency numbers and contact details.
DROP US A MESSAGE AND WE WILL ANSWER WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
