Fantastic experience: We booked sunhill lodges via expectations travel and we were so impressed from start to finnish Karen and her team were fantastic and found us sunhill lodges which was exactly to our requirements. I was a little apprehensive as I have never used expectations travel before and found them on facebook I did some background checks and also looked at reviews, I cannot give enough praise to Karen and the team and most definitely be using them again, Thankyou so much for finding us an absolute gem in Sunhill Lodges Julie & Family

Fantastic experience: Karen at Expectations organised a long weekend in Amsterdam for our group of 2 couples. Everything was amazing, from the printed tickets and information for the hotel everything was so easy. The flights were as you'd expect from easyJet but the hotel was on another level, the staff, pool, breakfast, really good and a fantastic choice. Thank you Karen.

Fantastic experience: Karen and the team at Expectations always take the time to really listen and consider everything you want from your holiday, building a bespoke holiday package that means you get exactly what you want from your trip. We've just got back from a 4 night stay in New York, staying in a great hotel that was perfect for us, and on Karen's recommendation, we took advantage of the City Pass that opened up so many things to do and experience! We had a great time! Thank you Expectations Travel!

Fantastic experience: A massive thank you to Karen at Expectations Travel who booked us an arctic adventure in the wilderness of Finland. We had such an incredible time, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone! The staff at the hotel & the guides were great.  The food on offer at every meal time was excellent.  The activities were well organised and spaced nicely throughout the week, leaving us a few spare days to book our own extra activities. We stayed in a private cabin with our own sauna. The cabin was so cosy and really comfortable - it very much felt like 'home' and we were very sad to leave at the end of the week!

Fantastic experience: We booked a UK lodge break with Expectations Travel after finding their details on Facebook. Service was friendly, fast and efficient and they made our booking very straight forward. We received all of our information by email and they were always available to assist us. Great service, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Booked a trip for my wife to Berlin for the Christmas markets. She had a great time visiting the area using the Marriot in central Berlin. All arranged by Karen at Expectations Travel with first class customer service. Will be using them again for future travels. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best honeymoon we could have asked for. We were extremely lucky to have met Karen and her partner, Bryan, in Egypt early 2020. Karen has since been at the forefront of booking several holidays for us, with the process always running smoothly and the holidays being brilliant! Having booked the time off for our honeymoon in June of this year, we simply wouldn’t have entrusted anyone else to book our honeymoon except Karen. We had fancied the idea of a safari for a long time, with it being a bucket list of my wife’s. We put the idea across to Karen and within the day, she had come back to us with different stays across Africa, with the thought to move on to Mauritius afterwards for a more relaxing time (Karen knows how much we enjoy the sun). We ended up selecting the Mdluli Lodge for 5 nights, followed by 9 nights in Mauritius. I simply cannot fault Karen’s efforts throughout our booking and making it a honeymoon of a life time. Obviously you can never guarantee what you will see on the safari, however luck was on our side and we saw the big 5 and more! Mauritius topped everything off and we enjoyed 9 days of luxury at the Zilwa Attitude. Our trip from the North West of England to South Africa, followed by Mauritius and back, featured 8 flights and private transfers where ever feasible - all booked way in advance with extended information. Thank you again Karen for making it a trip to remember. We will no doubt be booking with you again soon (in fact we already have as we’re off to Greece in September). With love, Mr and Mrs Irving x

Fantastic experience: Brilliant service everything was perfect definitely will be going back beautiful place the lodges are beautiful there's nothing that disappointed hottubs are brilliant and lovely couple on sight 5

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful holiday arranged by Expectations Travel on The Emily Bronte riverboat. Starting in Cologne we sailed down The Rhine to the junction of The Rhine and Moselle rivers at Koblenz. Turning down the Moselle we traveled through mile after mile of vineyards with frequent stops to explore the medieval towns along the way. Then back to Koblenz and down the Rhine,through the Rhine gorge all the way to Rudesheim. We then returned to Cologne for our flight back home from Dusseldorf. The crew and service on board Emily Bronte were exceptional and we would highly recommend Riviera Travel the operators as we would Expectations Travel who will definitely be using again to book a future holiday.

Fantastic experience: Karen is amazing! Excellent customer service. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I always get exceptional service from Karen and the team. They really do go the extra mile. During COVID they were a god send. They dealt with any cancellations and transferring holidays so I didn't have to and really made me feel like a top priority. Nothing is ever too much trouble and it is always a pleasure to speak with Karen and the team. I can't recommend them highly enough and have now got several of my friends who book their holidays with them. Congratulations also for the award they just won, "Best Independent Luxury Travel Agent 2024 in Bournemouth" Just proves what I have been saying.........

Fantastic experience: First Class Customer Service! We use Expectations Travel as our exclusive business partner for England and Wales, and we wouldn't go anywhere else! Great business service, professional customer service for our customers and, first class personal service which you just don't seem to get these days. So good, we even use them for our personal holiday bookings too. We highly recommend Expectations Travel and their team.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Expectations Travel as their customer service is the best! We have used them to book a few nights stay for the Berlin Christmas Market and nothing was too much trouble. No hassle, just proper, old fashioned first class customer service.

Fantastic experience: I called Expectations Travel by accident, and I’m so glad I did! Karen sorted out my trip and went beyond my expectations (excuse the pun ). FYI, I meant to call P&O directly to book. She touched base with me at each stage that needed my input. What an absolute breeze! As I type this, I’m on my way to the ship now on the Inter-cruise coach. Thank you, Karen, for your support and attention to detail.

Fantastic experience: I have always found working with Expectations Travel in creating our holidays a great experience. From dealing with our questions, looking at holiday accommodation options to cruise travel they have gone above and beyond in making sure everything was right for us.
