RB Collection: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank RB collection for arranging a fantastic holiday in Australia, this included flights, hotels, all of which were perfect, excursions, and car hire which enabled us to explore the east coast from Sydney to Brisbane. We felt that RB was on hand should we have a problem which ment that we could relax and fully appreciate Australia. I would happily recommend RB as we felt we received first class service and support.
Thanks so much for your kind words Roger, and your 5* review! We are all pleased to read you had a great time, great photo's too! Thanks again for booking with us, Oliver & all the RB Collection team.
Fantastic experience: RB Collection provide great service from generating suitable holiday ideas, to putting together great packages and sourcing the best hotels and transportation. We have been using their services for many years and have always had excellent experiences and service - the team are really passionate about what they do and want you to have the best time and create great memories. Looking forward to booking 2026 holidays!
Many thanks Maria for the lovely 5* review! It is always a pleasure booking your trips and we look forward to the next! thanks again for your continued loyal custom, Oliver and all the RB Team.
Fantastic experience: Well priced,superbly planned by RB Travel,our flight to Nice and private car to Monte Carlo brought us to our cruise ship the Siver Spirit. Having travelled with Silver Seas before we knew what to expect….quality service throughout. Excellent food,entertainment and comfortable suites secured by Nathan ensured a wonderful 12 day break. Trips to spectacular coastal resorts,approaches by sea to so many memorable land marks and superb guides meant that the cruise will live long in our memories. Monaco,Sardinia,Sicily,Malta,Montenegro,Croatia and Slovenia provided wonderful tasters of what the countries have to offer. The weather was brilliant throughout..RB travel even provided that! Thank you Nathan for ensuring we got the voyage we wanted,Sam for taking us through all the travel arrangements so simply and professionally and Clare for putting all the paperwork together. R B Travel come up trumps again! Sue and Allan Williams
Thanks for the lovely 5* review Sue! It’s always a pleasure to take care of your trips and even more so to read feedback like this!
Fantastic experience: We have booked several holidays in the past with RB Collection. We have just returned from a wonderful Mediterranean cruise with Oceania which we booked with the help of Sam Cooper at RB Collection. This was our first cruise and we weren’t 100% sure it would be for us. Sam listened to our concerns and found the perfect cruise for us. We are definitely going to book another and would have no hesitation in recommending RB Collection for all your travel requirements.
Hi Lesley, thanks so much for the 5* review! We are all so pleased you enjoyed your Oceania cruise booked with Sam. We look forward to standing the next special trip! Oliver
Fantastic experience: 'We have recently returned from a special trip to Italy to see Andrea Bocelli in Lajatico. Kayleigh organised everything, through a series of phone calls and emails - and it all worked perfectly. We had had a longer trip perfectly planned by Oliver and the team a couple of years ago that had to be cancelled at very short notice due to family bereavement, this was our third attempt to get there. Kayleigh worked extremely hard to find us the ( elusive ) executive tickets we wanted , along with flights from our area and the right hotel and the room with a view. All the transfers worked like clockwork , with Angelo the driver for the concert deserving particular mention - he was wonderful and looked after us so well. A massive thankyou to Kayleigh for working out the perfect package for us, with patience, understanding and in a professional and friendly manner . Tuscany was everything we thought it would be, and more - stunning scenery and peaceful. To see Andrea Bocelli outdoors in the Tuscan countryside was magical, and the hotel Borgo Pignano was truly amazing. There’s so much to love about this place ( too much to write about !) , its location , stunning scenery, the beautiful house and buildings, the vineyards, the first class food. Too many little touches and details to list ! Gigi’s tour of the estate was very much appreciated and fabulous , his passion for the place, the land, the animals, and all the food grown and produced here is very special. World class service from every staff member we encountered without being over bearing. The people that work here are a special power. The lovely lady who runs the bar said she was proud to work here and you can tell , and see exactly why. If you are thinking about a special holiday I can highly recommend the trip, the hotel, the event and of course RB collection . We are normal people who wanted a special once in a lifetime trip and the whole experience exceeded all my expectations . Needless to say, I’m now hoping to go back soon !'
Thanks so much for the 5* review and the photo's, we really appreciate you booking with us and it looks like you had a great time!
Fantastic experience: We had a fabulous family holiday to Canada. Kayleigh was amazing helping us with an itinerary that factored in some very specific stops! The trip flowed perfectly starting in the East, flying over to the West then taking the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff. The wildlife sightings and scenery throughout the whole trip were just incredible. Bears, bald eagles, whales and sea otters were the wildlife highlights. RB Collection were great to partner with, incredible customer service helping us achieve a very special family holiday full of incredible memories.
Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for the lovely 5* review. Kayleigh and the team will be over the moon. It is always a pleasure arranging your trips and we are really happy you enjoyed Canada. It sounds like a wonderful family experience with loads of memorable moments. Thanks again and we look forward to arranging our next special trip with us! Oliver
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Kayleigh . This was my first time abroad as a solo traveller . I was blown away with my total experience. Kayleigh done R&B proud . From start to finish my holiday was total amazing. My first words when I arrived was WOW WOW WOW! From speedy boarding , hotel choice , location choice & private transfer . It was all 2nd to none . I will definitely book again in the near future & recommend to friends & family . Once again thank you Kayleigh . Also the concert to see Andre Bocelli was well organised and was a special experience.
Hi Sonja! What a lovely 5* review! Thanks for taking the time to leave such great comments about our team here at RB Collection. We love arranging trips like these and taking care of the fine details for our clients so it is great to read when the hard work pays off. It looks like Andrea Bocelli gave a great performance too and we are over the moon you enjoyed it. Thanks again, and do stay in touch, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Put simply, RB Collection are simply outstanding! Responsive, supportive, friendly, knowledgable and always prepared to 'go the extra mile!' This is the first time we have experienced their professionalism and it won't be the last! We had an amazing time in Florence and this is largely due to the expertise and support of RB Collection, their organisational skills and their first class customer service.
Hi Sue, thanks for the 5* review. We are all so pleased to read you both enjoyed the trip to Italy to see Andrea Bocelli perform. It looked magical! Do stay in touch and we look forward to arranging your next special trip. Oliver.
Fantastic experience: We used RB collection to find us the perfect holiday for the first time this year. We consulted with Sam told him everything we wanted and a bit about what we enjoy on holiday. We always wanted to go to Sicily and I in particular wanted to see an active volcano as I studied geology. The result was perfect Sam could not have improved on the holiday he found us and the private 4x4 excursion he also booked for us. We will be consulting Sam for every holiday from now on. Sam got to know us and our preferences so well then with a wealth of knowledge smashed our requirements of the park. I cannot praise the Company enough from the personal and relaxed consultation and booking, you really don’t have to think about anything to the complimentary surprises when you get your tickets. Holiday of a lifetime thank you Sam and RB.
Many thanks Neil, what a lovely 5* review! We are so pleased you enjoyed Sicily, Sam and the team will be most pleased. Thanks again for booking with us and for leaving such a great review. Do keep in touch, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: We were impressed that Sam took our information over the phone and looked for the best holiday for us , in the dates we could go , before we visited the office. He knew the hotels he had recommended to us and gave us examples of customers who he knew loved the hotels named. This was very reassuring. The service provided was excellent. Sam explained everything clearly to us. And he even recommended other hotels we may be interested in for the future. These we have looked at and want to book one for October this year as soon as we are back from Cyprus. Sam also rang me and mentioned we may need documents to take 11 year old Daisy out of the country as we hold a Special Guardianship Order. He took the time to print off some information about Cyprus and rules entering and leaving the country. We have booked a few times with Robert broad travel and each holiday was amazing. We feel the service given as always was excellent , and all aspect of the trip covered ie travel insurance , taxi to airport , airport lounge. The private taxi is a lovely touch so is the security fast track. Thankyou very much for those. We are all excited to get away , and there is something for all of us to enjoy. Sam made sure we will have the relaxing holiday we have all been needing for a few years now. I will recommend RB travel To all my friends and family. Thankyou for your help !
Many thanks for the glowing 5* review, Sam will be pleased. It is always a pleasure taking care of your trips and hope you have a great time in Cyprus!
Fantastic experience: We have just returned from our Florence trip organised by Sam at RB Collection.... I need to say the service is second to none from start to finish! Sam organises absolutely everything, leaving no stone unturned! It was my husband's 60th birthday while we were there, again Sam liaised with the hotel and a restaurant for me to ensure the day was memorable. RB Collection make you feel so special, wanting to understand exactly what you want from your trip and then going away and tailoring that trip to your dream holiday! I cannot praise them highly enough ... and in particular Sam from the team you're amazing!
Hi Dawn, What a great review to read! Thanks for taking the time to write such lovely words and leave the 5* review. All the team are over the moon, in particular Sam and we are delighted we were able to make your husband's 60th birthday so memorable. We look forward to arranging your next RB trip! Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Exemplary service. A seven-day Greek Island cruise with added on days in Athens front and back was planned to perfection from start to finish by RB Collection. Hotel and cruise advice was spot on and Sam Cooper put everything together with patience and a smile. He even managed to organise a couple of extra requests made by our travelling companions coming from Florida! Thanks also to Oliver and Clare for their equally smart input during the process. Would definitely recommend!
Thanks for the lovely 5* review, Phil! It's wonderfull to hear you enjoyed your Greek Island cruise and that our team took excellent care of you. How special that you were able to share this experience with your friends from Florida - what a perfect way to create lasting memories together. Do stay in touch, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to RB travel for another excellent holiday. Everything you booked for us worked perfectly, the express lane at the airport, transfer and hotel, even an upgraded room, fizz and chocolates! We had a great time in Prague. Thank you for Kayleigh for looking after us as always and your advice. We will be booking with you again soon!
Hi Sarah - thank you for the lovely feedback and 5* review! Kayleigh will be so pleased to read your comments and thanks again for booking your next trip to Paris with us too!
Fantastic experience: If Italy is your destination of choice think about Sorrento as a base. With a trip with Riviera Travel booked via RB Collection every trip you would wish to take is organised for you with expert guides. All you need to do is relax and go with the flow.
That sounds great! Thanks Helen for the lovely 5* review, the team will be pleased.
Fantastic experience: Dear Nathan I just wanted to send a personal thank you for arranging an absolutely amazing holiday. The Maldives surpassed all expectations. The welcome on arrival at the airport and at the resort was incredible, (thanks for the card). The room was filled with balloons, banners, cakes and sweet and savoury treats, one of the staff opened a bottle of Moët with his sword just as a dolphin swam past our villa, what a way to start a holiday! The resort staff are so friendly, you feel like one of the family. The sea/sand/fish looked like pictures from a magazine, I have never visited anywhere so beautiful. We've got the travel bug and are excited to start planning more holidays, we've booked to attend your safari evening in May and will be looking forward to more suggestions for trips near and far. Thanks again!
Thanks Robert, so glad you enjoyed the island as much as I did! Nathan.
Fantastic experience: On our return from South America we have been reflecting on our holiday of a lifetime and the wonderful service we received from RB Collection and particularly Sam whom, from the moment we walked tentatively through the door in the the middle of 2024, until we returned from our trip in the middle of march2025, guided us expertly through a continent we knew little about. What an experience we had witnessing different cultures, traditions and stunning scenery. the 3 weeks were seamless and the confidence that Sam had installed in us to 'go and embrace everything' helped us to fully enjoy all that we encountered. A huge thank you to Sam and all at RB Collection for striving to provide such a first class service to their clients. We certainly will be back.
Thanks Mr Churchill, what a great read. We are so pleased you enjoyed your trip to South America. Sam will be most pleased with the 5* review. Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Kayleigh and all at RB for organising a wonderful holiday in India, we even managed to see a tiger.
Thanks Anita, great to hear you enjoyed your trip to India.
Fantastic experience: Just back from a 3 camp Kenyan safari in the Conservancies. Having assessed our preferences on price and type of holiday Nathan Collins and his team sourced the perfect holiday. The camps were just as we like and the game viewing spectacular. Organisation of the outward and inward travel from and back to Heathrow/Nairobi went without a hitch, too. Clare was always at hand to deal with checking in and general queries. Best holiday ever and superb service from RB as usual.
Thanks Chris for the continued custom and 5* review! What a statement, 'Best holiday ever!', really pleased to hear that. Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Great company to deal with, very friendly and helpful and tailor holiday to your requirements. Would highly recommend them. Holiday was amazing, an experience not to be forgotten.
Thanks for the 5* review Jayne! Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Customer Service I was looking to book a very special trip for my wife and I to the Ice Hotel in Sweden. I didn’t want to leave anything to chance as it’s a trip we had been wanting to do for many years. After a quick search I came across RB Collection. What a result! From first contact to make an enquiry the team were amazing. Proper, old school customer service. Knowledgeable, human, personal and attentive. It started with a quick response to the enquiry message on their website, became a Teams call to discuss what we wanted from the trip (we live far away from their office) became a written quotation and then a seamless booking. Payment was made easy too. The information they gave us on the hotel, the activities and the local area were fantastic. RB Collection even got us an upgraded room at no extra cost which made an amazing experience just a little more special. Just before departure two very nice touches that you just don’t get from other companies and certainly not when booking yourself: Four days before we were due to depart a parcel arrived at our house containing all our travel documents and information printed out in an RB collection folder, a very nice touch and handy. (Swedish immigration were questioning arrivals and a quick open of the RB Collection folder had everything we needed for the immigration official, nice one). The day before we were due to travel Sam from RB Collection called us to let us know there were closures of the M25 and that we should allow extra time to get to the airport and to wish us a safe trip. Nice touch. The trip was fantastic, and I already have a call booked in with Sam at RB Collection later this week to book our next holiday. A fantastic company that goes above and beyond the modern expectation of customer service. Thank you
Hi John! Love the photo's - thanks so much for posting them and for the 5* review. We are all so pleased to hear you enjoyed your trip to the Ice Hotel in Sweden. It is one of our favourite hotels in the world and we love arranging special trips there. Thanks again and we look forward to arranging the next one! Oliver, Sam and all the RB Team.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been using R&B for a few years now. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.First choose where you would like to go, pop in there and then they will help you sort it. There knowledge of all destinations is amazing. They never fail in choosing the best hotels. Last year went to Africa fabulous holiday they helped put together. They arranged all the trips I wanted to do. You can E mail Clare and she will respond that day that’s a great service. Thank you Team
Hi Jenette - thanks for the 5* review and great photos! It is always a pleasure to arrange your trips.
Fantastic experience: We asked RB to create a holiday of a lifetime for us ….. and they did exactly that. We visited Stockholm and the Ice Hotel and all the arrangements were perfect. The hotel in Stockholm (Nobis) was superb. A fabulous location and such friendly and helpful staff. The rooms at the Ice Hotel were anmazing and the activities RB found for us were perfect. The day with the huskies was the best ever but the sauna ritual was also great. If you want a special holiday that will last in your memory forever, give RB a call!!
Hi Rachel - thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We really enjoy arranging trips to the Ice Hotel in Sweden, it is such a special place! Thanks again for booking with us and please do stay in touch. Oliver
Fantastic experience: Had a fabulous time on our APT Amsterdam to Budapest cruise. Excellent boat with wonderful staff from the Captain to the cleaners and everyone inbetween. The food was superb and plentiful. Saw some beautiful places and plenty of Christmas markets. R & B Travel, our agents from Lichfield did a marvellous job for us sorting this trip out and can’t thank them enough.
Thanks for the 5* review Pauling! So pleased to enjoyed your river cruise.
Fantastic experience: Can not recommend RB Collection enough,(Kayleigh) friendly yet professional service from start to finish,nothing is ever too much trouble
Thanks Sam for the 5* review! Kayleigh will be very pleased.
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to RB Collection and an especially big thanks to Sam who put together a fantastic itinerary for our holiday to Vietnam at very short notice. All the team at RB Collection are very professional and answered all our questions, concerns and queries very promptly. I love the personal touch of discussing holiday ideas with the team it makes a refreshing change from dealing with bigger companies. Vietnam itself is a fantastic country to visit, the food is delicious and you can soon immerse yourself in their way of life as the people are so friendly. We have already booked a ski holiday to Switzerland in March and can't with to book our next long haul holiday with them.
Many thanks Mrs Gibbons for the wonderful 5* review following your trip to Costa Rica! We are all so pleased you enjoyed the trip and we look forward to arranging the next one. Nathan.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant. Can’t speak highly enough of RB Collection. Would recommend to everyone
That is great to hear, many thanks!
Fantastic experience: We have used RB Collection 3 times now, and we will be using them again. A one stop shop for a wonderful, memorable holiday. They listen to what you want, and come up with ideas that suit you as an individual. From flights, transfers, accommodation, trips, they will arrange everything and you know you will be in safe hands. Totally hassle free. I 100% recommend them, especially if it's an extra special occasion that you want to celebrate. Special mention to Sam who has done an amazing job for us, but all of the team are very knowledgeable and really helpful. ☆☆☆☆☆
Hi Sophie - thank you so much for this lovely 5* review! What a delightful read. It is always a pleasure to arrange your trip and Sam will be over the moon to be mentioned here I am sure. Thanks again, speak soon - Oliver.
Fantastic experience: We have been booking our holidays with RB Collection since they were established in Lichfield and have always received exemplary, professional and friendly service from all of the team and nothing is too much trouble. We have always felt confident and reassured when using the services of RB Collection and we will certainly continue to use their services for all our future travel.
What a wonderful 5* review to read! Thanks Mr Plimmer for the kind words, it is always a pleasure taking care of your trips, long may it continue! Thanks again, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: We have been using RB Collection for a number of years and would highly recommend them. All the staff are very friendly and their extensive knowledge of destinations helps you choose the perfect holiday. We've not been disappointed at all. Nothing is too much trouble and they arrange everything for you without hesitation.
Hi Michelle, thank you so much for the lovely 5* review - how delightful to read! Thanks again for your continued custom, long may it last. Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Sardinia - Golfo Aranci - June RB Collection organised a great holiday for us in Sardinia at relatively short notice, Golfo Aranci was very well located from the airport - less than 30 minutes and it was beautiful! The hotel was very well located and extremely clean and well maintained and all the staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend booking a holiday with RB Collection. They did a superb job! Big thank you to the team! Helen
Hi Helen, thanks so much for the wonderful 5* review following your trip to Sardinia. We are so pleased to hear you had a great time and enjoyed our recommendation. Sardinia is a real favourite of ours and we love sending clients there. Thanks again and do stay in touch. Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: A big thank you has to go Clare and the team at RB for your help in organising a surprise birthday trip for my wife. It is the first time we have used London City Airport to travel from/to and it was definitely one of the most relaxing trips we have had through any airport. Florence is one of the nicest cities we have visited and the Hotel L'Orologio was perfect and close to great restaurants, the Ponte Vecchio and many other historical locations. Train travel is easy and the station was less than 10 minutes walk from the hotel. We decided to travel to Pisa for the day to see the leaning tower and it was not a disappointment. The bus station is directly outside the train station in Pisa and LAM 1+ bus takes you to the tower. All in all a fabulous trip and would recommend RB Collection to anyone for their perfect mix of professionalism and personal service.
Hi Paul - well what a lovely 5* review to read about Clare and the RB team. It is always a pleasure to arrange your special trips and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed Italy. Thanks again, we will no doubt see you again soon! Oliver.
Fantastic experience: RB Collection - 'Travel no further for all your travel needs'. ' As always - a personal, knowledgeable and helpful service. We continue to book our main holiday through RB over 15 years now. Our latest trip to Jersey was again perfectly organised for us.
Hi Nick, what a great testimonial and photo! Thanks again for your continued support over the years. We look forward to arranging your next special trip. Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic holiday of a lifetime in Canada. Many thanks to the team at RB who made it all go smoothly before, during and after. We have used them for all of our holidays for the last 18 years and can’t fault their service, knowledge, professionalism and above all their friendliness. Thank you for all your help.
Hi Stuart, many thanks for the 5* review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your trip of a lifetime to Canada! Thanks again for your continued support over the years. Speak soon, Oliver & Nathan.
Fantastic experience: I recently asked RBC to organise a short trip to Paris and Normandy for the D-Day 80 commemoration. Despite many changes to the arrangements in France RBC responded with patience and enthusiasm, suggesting alternatives, and with an attention to detail that ensured a very successful trip. Use RBC,speak to Sam, that's an order !
Thanks Paul for the 5* review!
Fantastic experience: We would highly recommend using RB, we were looked after by them recently with a trip to America, Kayleigh was exemplary and nothing was too much trouble; every aspect of our holiday was communicated perfectly and made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. Every request was efficiently answered or actioned meaning we could just enjoy the whole process from booking onwards.
Thanks Gez for the 5* review, much appreciated. Oliver
Fantastic experience: We've recently returned from a fantastic rail trip to Spain and Portugal taking in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville Lisbon and Porto. We probably could have arranged this holiday independently but we know that using RB helps ensure that everything will be tailored to our requirements and will run smoothly. It’s also comforting to know that in the unlikely event of something going wrong, that we can contact the RB concierge service for assistance. Huge thanks to Kayleigh for sorting out travel arrangements and for her excellent advice on accommodation and activities in each location.
Thanks for the 5* review Trish. We are so pleased to read you enjoyed your trip in Spain and Kayleigh did a great job reviewing it, she will be over the moon to see your review. Do stay in touch and we look forward to arranging your next special trip.
Fantastic experience: RB Collection travel agents are friendly, very knowledgeable and keen to help you choose your ideal holiday with excellent suggestions and alternatives. I have used them several times and have never been disappointed. I would recommend them to anyone.’
That’s great to hear! Many thanks for the 5* review.
Fantastic experience: We all just want to say a huge thank you to you and your team for arranging a phenomenal holiday! We have had the best time and Japan has stolen our hearts. We couldn’t fault a thing - from the transfers to the cruise we felt like VIPs and we didn’t have to worry about anything because we knew you had it all in hand. Cant wait for our next adventure!
What a lovely read, thanks Cath! It was such a pleasure arranging your special trip to Japan and can't wait to put together the next dream holiday for you all. Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: RB Travel listen and advise with empathy - they find out what you want from a holiday. Highly recommended.
Thanks Matt, we really appreciate your kind words and 5* review!
Fantastic experience: My wife and myself stayed at Blue Waters from the 7th February to the 21st February 2024. We had been to Antigua twice before staying at another property that we both loved. However we decided to try somewhere else and we challenged Robert Broad to find something just as good. Their choice of Blue Waters was excellent. It is a beautiful resort and apart from all the things you would expect like great food, good accommodation, good entertainment etc. the highlight was the people, they were just so helpful and friendly, I have found that throughout the Caribbean to a large extent but this was beyond anything else. 6 days into our stay my wife slipped on a step, no fault of anyone just an accident but everyone at Blue Waters were just excellent, they couldn't do enough for us. It involved a 14 hour stay in hospital and they made contact with the staff to ensure we had the best treatment and even brought me some food from the resort. Once we were back in the resort again couldn't do enough, whenever they saw her in her sling they went out of their way to help, excellent. Throughout this the local rep was very good making enquiries and Robert Broad helped me enormously when I was considering flying home early. You never want these things to happen in a strange country on holiday however they do and what you then need is the best care, that's what we got. Thanks to everyone.
Thanks for the 5* review Mr Carter. We are so pleased to read your wonderful comments and hear that the hotel took great care of you both. Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, knowledgeable and friendly service. Clare at RB Collection put together an amazing itinerary for us within our date constraints. All information was clearly laid out both in online portal and hard copies posted just before trip. Excellent support available if needed while away. A truly magical trip to Sweden to the Ice Hotel and Tree Hotel! So glad we picked RB Collection - this was a one-off trip of a lifetime and it truly was amazing!
Hi Kate! Thanks so much for the 5* review and for posting the photos too, they look great. I am so pleased to hear you had a great time at the Ice Hotel in Sweden and Clare looked after you well. Do stay in touch, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: RB Collection are highly professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Oliver, one of the co-owners takes personal interest in his clients requirements and importantly understanding how the holiday went. They offer a comprehensive caring service and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Thanks Mr Meeks for the glowing 5* review! It is always a pleasure to take care of your arrangements and we look forward to many more wonderful trips with us! Oliver
Negative experience: Very specialist luxury travel package agents. Not what I was looking for. Appointment only
Thanks for the review. You are indeed correct in that we are a very specialist agency focussing on luxury and experiential holidays. Sorry this was not what you were looking for on this occasion. We invite you to use our services should your needs change in the future. Oliver
Fantastic experience: RB Collection has organised four amazing holidays for us - two to Australia, a road trip in New Zealand and most recently a trip to Hawaii, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Yosemite and Carmel. We have loved planning these trips with Oliver, whose knowledge and enthusiasm is brilliant. Every detail was just spot on, from flights, transport, hotels and additional tours. We have seen and experienced so many beautiful and interesting places and Oliver has always made sure our love of nature and wonderful scenery is at the centre of our holidays. The RB team are all so helpful and friendly and we look forward to many more adventures in the future. Jeff & Sally McMahon
Hi Jeff & Sally - it is always such a pleasure arranging your amazing trips. Thank you so much for the very kind words and 5* review! Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Such a great company, nothing is ever too much trouble for them. They are only a call away for all our holiday needs, before, during and after, we would not use anyone else.
That is lovely to hear Mrs Carroll, thank you so much for the lovely feedback! It is always a pleasure to look after your trips. Oliver
Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of my recent holiday in Chile, arranged by RB Collection. The scenery and wildlife were exactly what I hoped for and the accommodation and transportation arrangements were superb. The guides and drivers in Chile were helpful, efficient and prompt. All the local arrangements worked smoothly. The recommended hotels and estancias were excellent and I undoubtedly ate too much as a result. The planning by Nathan Collins was very thorough and detailed, and the arrangements were well coordinated with assistance from Oliver Broad. All the components fell into place very smoothly and I had a wonderful time.
Hi John, how wonderful to read! Thank you as always for your continued custom and for your 5* review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your trip to Chile - what a great itinerary. Speak soon, Oliver.

Fantastic experience: All we knew was that we wanted to visit Sicily. Kayleigh was extremely helpful. She recommended the resort and 2 hotels for us to choose from. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely use RB Collection again.
Great to hear thanks Chris! So pleased you enjoyed Sicily, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend this company enough, they have organised many family holidays for us now & a massive thank you to Kayleigh for her recent hotel recommendation, it was absolutely perfect & one of the best holidays we’ve had! It’s one thing looking online but great to get first hand knowledge and advice for someone who’s actually been. We will continue to use them long into the future.
Thank you Kyria, what a lovely 5* review to read! Kayleigh is over the moon to read your comments. Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: RB travel have been superb in tailoring journeys and holidays to our needs , requirements . Three years ago during Covid Nathan re arrange flights found flights which brought us home safe and sound from New Zealand . Now planning a further trip as relative in NZ very poorly , he has put in time and effort to find journey times that suit in busy months of travel to NZ . We would highly recommend Robert Board Travel
Many thanks Mrs Edwards for the glowing 5* review. It is always a pleasure to look after your arrangements. Speak soon, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: I booked via RB Collection as I was looking fjr a trusted agent to book a bucket list trip to Italy to see Andrea Boccelli. The derive from the start was first class and the team were exceptional in the support provided and helping to arrange a tailored trip. They suggested a beautiful hotel in the Tuscan countryside which was exactly what we were looking for, The hotel staff, the food, etc were all fantastic. We were very well looked after by our driver who took us to the concert. Everything was very well organised and we did t have to worry about a thing! I’ll definitely be using RB Collection again (and be visiting Tuscany again!), thank you all!
Thanks Natalie for the wonderful review! We are all so pleased you enjoyed the trip and were impressed with our 5* VIP service! Do stay in touch, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service Oliver kept us informed at every stage. The transfers were so very smooth and so easy. The hotel location was perfect ideally situated to see all the sights. Would highly recommend using RB.
Thanks for the 5* review Andrea, so pleased all went well and you enjoyed your trip!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Oliver, Kayleigh and the RB team for a truly memorable holiday and outstanding customer service. We are just back from five days in Florence, Italy, which included seeing Andrea Bocelli in concert, in the magical outdoor setting of ‘Teatro del Silenzio’ in his hometown of Lajatico. Although myself and my husband know Florence well, for this trip we were accompanying my parents - both in their 80s and who hadn’t been abroad for some time. Booking with RB meant we felt safe and confident, knowing the team were there for us if we needed assistance. Flights, all transfers, concert tickets and the event itself, plus accommodation at Hotel Santa Maria Novella (superb central location!) were all excellent and very well organised. Information and support throughout from RB is personalised, friendly, open, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Thank you RB!
Thanks Alison for your lovely 5* review! We are all so pleased to hear you enjoyed your trip and your parents had a great time too!
Fantastic experience: Have used RB for two holidays (Ice Hotel and Japan) and both have been brilliant. One of the trips was postponed due to Airline difficulties and RB were brilliant at re-arranging the Trip (Ice Hotel) for the week after.
Thanks Barry for the kind words and 5* review! Love the photos of Japan too and look forward to arranging your next special trip.
Fantastic experience: I recently had a wonderful travel experience in London booked through Oliver at RB Collection. The hotel's location was perfect, exactly where I needed to be and super conveniently located both for getting to and from the Eurostar and my work events. The company took care of all the planning, removing any guesswork and exhaustion. From start to finish, Oliver's attention to detail and personalized service made the trip truly fantastic. I highly recommend this travel company for a seamless journey.
Hi Ania, thank you so much for your wonderful 5* review and kind words. We are so pleased everything went well and you had a successful trip. Thanks again! Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Great way to travel, everything went very smoothly, trips were great and logistics faultless
Many thanks Mr Lacey, great to hear! Oliver
Fantastic experience: Oliver and the team are excellent - we knew where we wanted to go but RB Collection took that and then suggested the best options in our budget. We've used RB Collection before for our longer haul holidays so we knew we would be well looked after. We were and then some ....Thank you Oliver, Nathan and your team for making our holiday so special.’
Many thanks for the 5* review! Always a pleasure, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service. Pre COVID I booked all of my holidays independently. Using an agent gives you peace of mind and protection if something goes wrong or gets cancelled. RB offer a personalised service tailored to your individual needs.
Many thanks for the 4* review Mr Williams!
Fantastic experience: It was awesome! Safari was unbelievable, accommodation amazing, people so lovely, food fab! The same with Zanzibar. Such an experience for our girls! Oliver really helped us so much when the flight got cancelled we had no worries. They know so much about the destinations.’
Thanks Blaithin. So happy to hear you and the family enjoyed your safari adventure!
Fantastic experience: Well planned with great supporting information. Good guidance throughout the whole experience. I have since shared RB Collection details with a customer of mine who is looking for a complete holiday experience!
Thank you Mr Bebb, much appreciated! Stay in touch, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Customer service at its best from Oliver and the team, hassle free, proactive and just a nice easy experience from start to finish. They just the difference when the Managing Director is hands on and visible, well done RB.
Many thanks Mr Nicol, great to hear! Oliver
Fantastic experience: Had a bucket list trip arranged via RB to the Ice Hotel. Oliver and the team were on hand to navigate the multiple changes imposed due to COVID flight schedule changes etc with the minimum of fuss. The team were fantastic in producing an itinerary to ensure we got all we wanted from the trip even with personal recommendations which were incredible, making our trip truly memorable. Cannot recommend them highly enough! Get travelling again and use RB!
Thanks for the 5* review Mr Samuel, it was a pleasure to arrange your trip. Oliver
Fantastic experience: We have travelled quite a few times on holidays planned and booked with the helpful staff at RB collection. Some have been simple bookings chosen from brochures, others have been personalised tours. Service is always excellent and the tours have been outstanding. Travelling this year was a bit nerve racking with all our concerns about Covid but we went on a grand adventure around Iceland and they helped us with everything, including when we missed our return flight on a Sunday which was our own fault. Outstanding service every time and we're looking forward to planning our next grand adventure with RB Collection.
Thanks so much for the wonderful, positive review. It is always a pleasure arranging your trips Gillian and we look forward to the next adventure! Oliver
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend RB Collection enough- they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish (we’re so sad our holiday had to finish!). The service was second to none. Oliver helped shape our holiday destination based on our fairly broad specification (far away, hot, quiet, nice beach, posh hotel) into a perfect break for us. It felt great to know we were heading to a resort that RB Collection had visited personally. All of the stress and admin involved in booking a holiday during the current climate was taken out of our hands by RB Collection. The holiday was incredible. Luxury transfer to and from the hotel, fantastic hotel with the best room in the whole place. Great beaches, weather, food and service. Thank you. Will definitely use RB collection for our next holiday.
Thanks Joanne, really appreciate the kind words! Oliver
Fantastic experience: What can I say about RB Collection other than absolutely excellent customer service from Oliver. Very few organisation's I find nowadays pride themselves on this but RB have genuinely been exceptional in everyway, before and during the pandemic and now. Customers are certainly their focus. Also such a wide variety on offer abroad and home and all quality options I can't recommend them highly enough and will certainly be using them again.
WOW Thanks Maria! Always a pleasure to arrange your trips, thanks again for the review and recommendations. Oliver
Fantastic experience: Since the pandemic we were quite nervous about travelling, but RB advised wisely on hotels and destination. They were very clear and thorough about all the new travel requirements and took the stress out of the whole process. They looked after everything for us, from lounges to restaurants and even all our travel documents printed before we travelled, along with sending us a checklist. We have used them for a number of years now and they haven’t yet disappointed us. Highly recommend them. Thanks RB for another great holiday.
Thanks Mrs Williams, what a wonderful review! It is so great to hear all the hard work pays off. We look forward to arranging the next wonderful trip for you all.
Fantastic experience: Booked to go to the F1 in Monaco 12 months ago but it obviously got cancelled. Great customer service from the RB team during lockdown, very attentive. Recently received full refund. Shall definitely look to booking through RB again as soon as it is possible.
Thanks for the kind words Denise, it was a pleasure to look after you.
Fantastic experience: Nicola and the team looked after us with their usual professionalism.We now feel that once we have decided the holiday we want we can leave it in their capable hands.They also recommend places we would consider.Thank you all .Peter Johnson
That's great to hear thanks Mr Johnson.
Fantastic experience: I am always impressed with the personal attention and professional service received.

I will only use RB Collection and would highly recommend them
Thanks for the kind words Mr Dancer, they are very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service Nicola and Oliver have provided us with an excellent customer service.

They take the stress out of booking a holiday, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Superb customer service. Excellent customer service..... friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! I would highly recommend RB collection.
Thanks for the 5* review and very kind words!
Fantastic experience: ‘I changed my mind so many times and Sam always came up with other options - he was so helpful and PATIENT
Great to hear thank you !
Fantastic experience: Outstanding Knowledge and Service
Many thanks Mr Bagley.
Fantastic experience: ‘Professional and helpful! Professional and helpful. Took time to fully explain the holiday and to work out the most financially advantageous options without compromising on the quality of service my wife and I were looking’
Thanks for the kind words Mr Phelps.
Fantastic experience: Every time one needs advice on planning a trip, particularly with more than one destination, there are no better advisors than RB. Service levels and responsiveness have been outstanding. Attentive, thoughtful and experienced. Look no further.’
Many thanks Mr Davies! It’s always a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: They were very thorough in arranging my flight and nothing was too much trouble in explaining the requirements for visas and insurance.
Thanks for the 5* review Mr Beynon, your comments are very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: My sisters and I have just come back from four fabulous days at the Icehotel in Sweden. We have had simply the most fantastic time there from sleeping in an ice room to the various activities and we were even blessed to see the aurora. From the outset Clare and the Oliver from RB Collection have been so helpful. They gave me what I can only describe as the personal touch, as no question was a problem. Thank you for a first class and professional approach.
What a wonderful review! Thanks Yvonne for taking the time to write such lovely words about our service, we are all thrilled you had a fantastic trip.
Fantastic experience: Great service from RB Collection especially Oliver, quick response to any quiries and very knowledgeable in the area we stayed. Would strongly recommend
Thanks for the 5* positive review Mr Barry, it was a pleasure taking care of the arrangements for you, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely first rate. Clare has been a delight to deal with. This is how customer service should be, so why aren’t more companies providing this standard as the “norm”? Clare has been pro-active by calling me and updating me on any progress, which I really appreciate. I have been in the travel business as a Tour Manager and am well aware of how customers should be treated, but rarely are. I will be using RB Collections again!
What a wonderful 5* review - thanks very much! Clare will be most pleased to read your comments. We are all over the moon, thanks again for your booking and for helping spread the word.
Fantastic experience: Really helpful and competent staff. They are well traveled and know their stuff. The advice was both helpful and time saving in arranging my business trip. This is the second time I have used RB Collection and I will continue to do so
Thanks for the amazing positive review! It is great to read the hard work pays off and we would like to thank you for your continued custom.
Fantastic experience: When we were stranded in Budapest following the cancellation of a river cruise we thought to phone RB Collection who we had booked the cruise through. We explained our predicament and Nathan and his team got to work. Within an hour we were booked on to connecting flights back to Birmingham together with a hire car to return us home. Nathan then discussed compensation with the tour operator and recovered all of our out of pocket expenses plus a discount on a future cruise. Our experience shows the benefit of using a specialist travel agent when things go wrong.
All part of the service Mr Waite, thanks for the kind words and your continued custom.
Fantastic experience: I book a surprise trip for my husbands birthday to the Ice Hotel , with this company , they are very very good at there jobs . All went as clock work so so good . A big thank you .
Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: Awesome customer service. Oliver is the ultimate professional. will be back
Thanks for your kind words and positive review Mr Wosley. I look forward to being of service to you, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely a lifetime trip came true with RB Collection. Traveled to Florence, Tuscany and Rome! Oliver handled everything and the trip and tours were perfect! Attended Andrea Bochelli concert and seats were 5th row center! Outstanding travel services and personal care was just simply fantastic! Looking forward to our next trip!
Thanks Mr Weitz for your very kind words, it was a pleasure taking care of these arrangements for you. I am glad everything went well, feedback from the performance has been wonderful! We look forward to helping in the future, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Wow. Oliver booked us the trip of a lifetime to central America and he and the R B team totally delivered. Thank you R B for helping us live the dream for a few weeks! Will definitely be back next time we're ready for another adventure!
Thanks for your positive review Phil. It was a pleasure taking care of the special arrangements for you and we look forward to the next one! Do stay in touch, Oliver.
Fantastic experience: Once again, superb service from Robert Travel. Clare has the patience of a saint, with the amount of changes we made to the itinerary. This is the 6th trip we asked RB to organise and as always, they are meticulous with the planning, they are through with the explanations. The hotel chosen on this trip to Morocco looks fabulous plus exactly what we wanted for my 84 year old father. Thank you very much Robert Broad, especially Clare.
Mr Jokhia, What an amazing trip Clare has arranged for you...it looks like a real adventure to Morocco! We really appreciate your continued custom and kind words. Clare will be really pleased to read your comments and we look forward to being of service to you again soon, Oliver.
Negative experience: l recently booked up with RB to see Andrea Bocelli singing live in concert in his home town l was absolutely disgusted to find out that on the night, he performed one song and that was sitting down,and it was an Opera I was totally mislead about the performance
Mr Palmer, Sorry to hear you did not enjoy Andrea's performance. We have received a mixture of comments from fellow clients who also attended, some extremely positive. Opera may not be to everyone's taste and we shall certainly pass your comments onto the promoters of the event. You can read one of the positive reviews on our website here: http://www.robertbroadtravel.co.uk/opera/. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your review and we are sorry the performance was not to your liking.
Fantastic experience: I have used this company for many years and they have never let me down. What a fantastic team that have never failed to invest the time to make sure our holidays are perfect. Would never go anywhere else and cannot recommend enough. Dave Townsend
Thanks Mr Townsend, your continued custom is very much appreciated, Oliver.
