Holidays Designed Around You

What Do You Want To Experience?

Daydreaming about unwinding on a palm-fringed beach in Mauritius? Want to soak up the rhythm of New Orleans jazz? Ready to spot penguins and whales on an expedition cruise to the ends of the earth? Or craving wide-open ranch skies where the kids can run wild?

I’ll design your holiday around what you want to experience – and handle every detail from the first spark of an idea to your safe return home.

Unforgettable Experiences.

Rachael, travel agent Tavistock, specialising in tailor-made holidays for couples and families.

I’m Rachael.
Your Travel Designer

I believe extraordinary is different for everyone. Some people find it on a campervan road trip through New Zealand. Others discover it by diving coral reefs or exploring ancient temples in Japan.  Some need the freedom of wide-open spaces, while others crave culinary tours through Italy.

I’ve explored many countries – from months in South America to weeks interrailing through Eastern Europe. Each trip taught me that it’s not always about the destination. It’s the memories you create and how you experience them.

Now, I design holidays around what matters most to you – your style, your pace, your priorities.

My Planning Promise

Ease & Simplicity. I take care of everything, from research to bookings, so all you need to do is turn up and enjoy.

Designed Around You. Every itinerary is tailored to your style, pace, and priorities, with thoughtful touches along the way.

Memories That Last. I create trips that leave you feeling joyful, rested, and inspired long after you return home.

Why Book With Me

I’m part of The JLT Group, which means you get me – your dedicated travel designer – with the security of an award-winning company protecting every booking.

Here’s what that means for you:

You’re fully protected before, during, and after your trip. Quick question? Change of plans? Unexpected hiccup? I’m here to help, not a call centre halfway around the world.

You get access to holidays you won’t find on Google. I compare hundreds of suppliers and tap into insider contacts to find options perfectly suited to you – whether that’s a handpicked package or a completely bespoke itinerary.

You work with someone who genuinely cares about your holiday. I value every booking and every client, and I’ll always go the extra mile to make it special.

Happy Travellers

Croatia wasn’t even on our radar, but Rachael suggested it as a wildcard — and it was perfect.
From the private airport transfer to the fine dining at the hotel and the sea view room upgrade, every detail was spot on.
We’d never have found this gem on our own
