City escape destination in London

“Most reviews talk about how great their trip was. And yes, my trip was great, but the true test of a booking company is how they plan ahead, solve problems and respond. Travel Butlers absolutely had my back, doing the research, answering endless questions & solving problems BEFORE they occurred. I have traveled over 40 countries now and most of the time I make all my own arrangements. But African countries can be particularly challenging and then throw in the varying and ever changing Covid requirements, yellow fever, etc. and it can be a nightmare. Prior to the African safari trip with Travel Butlers, I had another Safari planned with a different booking agent in Uganda. It was Tracy at Travel Butler's that alerted me to the yellow fever vaccine required that I did not have, not the other booking company! It was Tracy at Travel Butler's not the other booking agent that helped me maneuver through all those requirements. Travel Butlers solved several other problems for me that were not their doing. They were simply awesome. I met with a couple whose trip was a disaster and they blamed it completely on the booking agent that they hired. I believe that Travel Butlers is very competitive in their pricing but for your sake as well as the trip - look beyond the pricing. You want to have great memories, not a nightmare like the other booking company almost provided.”

“The best decision we’ve ever made!! Emma has just been fantastic, organising every little detail of our big trip in the Southern Hemisphere. She has taken all the stress out of booking a holiday!! She has found us flights, car hire, accommodation and even a baby friendly safari - she has been responsive to all our needs and changing minds!! We can’t thank you enough!!!”

“Our honeymoon to Sri Lanka, created by True Luxury Travel really was a once in a lifetime experience. With only a few weeks away, we were worried we might not be able to achieve the relaxation we needed after such a busy time, whilst soaking up as much of Sri Lanka as possible. True Luxury Travel created the most amazing bespoke itinerary for us, which provided the perfect amount of relaxation on the South West beaches, combined with the culture and adventure of Kandy and Ella. The service was outstanding, and we cant wait to explore Botswana with their help next year.”

“We booked our trip to Canada with 7Seas Holidays and the service was excellent. They assisted us when we missed our layover flight, they rebooked our flight within minutes. We highly recommend 7Seas Holidays and we have already booked another trip in December with them!”

“I found this travel agents after some research and what a gem, my wife and I have always wanted to see the Polar Bears live but arranging the travel to Churchill in Canada was a nightmare. With the help of Frontier Travel we made a custom-built itinerary just right for us whilst also being covered by ABTA and ATOL. The first-hand knowledge and suggestions made to us was superb enabling us to have a holiday of a lifetime, and yes we saw Bears, lots of them.”

“My second time doing Paddleboard Yoga was so much fun. The combination of being on the river and yoga is so beneficial. I have already booked my next session and would recommend to anyone. In addition - Charlie, India and Josh are so lovely and re-assuring. Do it!”

“It’s the perfect class whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced dancer! Excellent teachers and everyone will make you feel super welcome”

“When I first started dancing tango 18 months ago, I went around London trying out different classes and teachers but was not satisfied with the progress I was making. I then travelled to Italy, Switzerland, and Germany and many other cities looking for the same but to no avail. One fine day, I met David in a Tango festival in London and he invited me to his classes. When I completed my first lesson with David and Kim I knew this was the place for me and these were my teachers from then on. As I continued the lessons under David and Kim's teaching, I was making rapid progress. As far as I am concerned in terms of elegance and style in Argentinian tango dancing, there is no other couple to match them in London. Their classes are extremely well structured and David is a very strict and passionate teacher who never gives up on his students. Kim and David ensure that you don’t leave the class unless you have learnt what was taught on that day. What is important in tango dancing, like anything else in life, is the continuity of lessons with a particular teacher. It is a good idea sometimes to try different workshops but you need one teacher whose style connects with you. David and Kim’s lessons are not just a series of tango moves but instruct you on how to dance with complete elegance and grace. Above all they are the only tango teachers I came across who are not totally money orientated and are more concerned with improving student performance on a weekly basis, building great relationships with their students and show genuine care for each and every student. If anybody wants to learn how to dance tango with elegance and feeling then David and Kim are your teachers.”

“I’ve had counselling a few times before but Joanne is the most welcoming and caring therapist I’ve seen. She has really helped my partner and I overcome some challenging times and she has also helped us through our individual difficulties. Joanne is genuinely caring and trustworthy, she is never judgemental and provides a balanced point of view. Her garden lodge is so comfy and warm, we would recommend having therapy with her 100%.”

“Stayed here while attending a wedding at Hoath House. It was marvelous. The dome had a lovely view, a hot tub, a bbq, and once we figured out how to use the bio furnace was toasty warm over what we’re two cold nights! Plus, the bed was so comfortable I will be emailing the owners to find out where I can buy the same mattress! Finally, my boyfriend is 2 meters tall (6’7) and he could stand up and fit comfortably - this is a huge win!!”

“Wonderful amazing place. The grounds are breathtaking. The owner Daisy is do friendly and helpful. We loved her”

“Gorgeous pods with literally every thing you could possibly want, beautiful setting in a wonderful fruit orchard, and super helpful friendly hosts, cannot recommend highly enough and cannot wait to stay again soon!! Thank you so much! I absolutely loved it here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Came down from Cardiff for a tattoo with @meltingbody_ink. The atmosphere was great, the gal on the desk -Lauren was welcoming, polite, and accommodating as was Emily - the co-owner despite having her own client. Definitely recommend.”

“I was tattooed by Barbara and had an excellent experience from start to finish! She was lovely and welcoming, we took regular breaks to make the process as comfortable as possible and it was one of the easiest tattoos I’ve had the pleasure of sitting for as a result. Absolutely recommend!”

“We haven't been there for a while because of travelling, but the food was excellent as usual. The choices on the menu were awesome, with so much to choose from. The service was also of a very high standard as always. We highly recommend Umbertos for quality food and top service.”

“Great food, very friendly staff. Vada pav had a slightly different coating but tasted delicious. Pav bhaji was good, ras malai cake is a must try. Good find in Croydon given that there are rare Indian street food restaurants here.”

“After an amazing haircut by John recently in his Kingston shop, I thought I'd pop into his soho venture to pick up some of his grooming products for my boyfriends birthday and it did not disappoint!! This shop is a fab wee find in soho, would definitely recommend taking a jaunt round if you're looking for a unique wee gift or a treat for yourself!”

“Best hot or ice coffee I've ever tasted and I'm fussy as hell with my coffee. John is an artist”

“As you maybe aware I’m a big foodie who loves dining out in the finest of restaurants. But when it comes to choosing wine we either go for the countries that we know or we leave it to the recommendations of the sommeliers. So with this in mind we wanted to broaden our horizons let’s say by learning more about wine in general ie taste , smell , tannins , acidity etc. with the additional knowledge of knowing what wine wine is good value for money and which style of wine goes with which style of food. So we gave it some thought and approached our good friend and drinks expert Alison Taffs at the Hop Inn Hornchurch our local micro pub to see what she thought and because it was only going to be the two of us if it would be worth her while. But after a little chat we discussed a budget so it would make her time and effort worthwhile. We gave her a couple of weeks to put together a format and gather some wines to taste and talk about. This led us to sunday when our tasting would take place. We arrived at the Hop Inn and our table was laid out in the corner. You could see straight away that Alison had put a lot of effort into this to which we were very grateful. She had laid out tasting note sheets , an iPad screen displaying various information and a list of the six wines we would be tasting. She decided that we should keep the discussion to european wines and in particular Portugal , France , Austria & Germany. Her knowledge was incredible as she guided us through the different stages of tasting wine. This begins with appearance which will include the colour. This is followed by smell , condition , intensity and the character. Then it’s time to taste to find out if the wine is sweet or dry as well as how much acidity , length , body and tannins. To finish you would decide what type of food you would match the wine with. We followed this by talking about pricing and what wines from specific regions when you look at a wine list are good value for money. This information really was invaluable and will certainly help us in the future. We’d personally like to thank Alison for a fabulous wine tasting afternoon. To listen to her knowledge and passion really was a pleasure and we definitely got more out of this than we first thought. I would highly recommend if your interested in wine to arrange a session yourselves whether your a couple like us or a larger group you will certainly benefit from her vast experience in the industry. We’re certainly looking forward to booking another session with her soon”

“Well I can't express how much I enjoyed my experience having my hair done here, as a 52 year old, and having fine hair and so out of condition . Ryan done wonders, he guided me on colours that would suit me and was careful not to over treat my hair with bleach. Lovely salon, lovely stylists definitely will recommend to all my friends and family. Never felt so comfortable and pampered . Thank you to you all xx”

“I loved Naomi’s professional and personable approach. The consultation was thorough and I came away feeling really confident about my upcoming appointments. The whole experience at The Little Parlour was excellent.”

“I love going to Lisa's. The girls are so friendly and it's a lovely atmosphere. I have recently had hair extensions by Lisa and they look amazing! better than i expected. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my tan, pedicures, lashes and hair extensions.”

“I always get my eyebrow waxed and threaded with Nayab there and she is amazing at what she does. She makes me love my eyebrows at the end of it. Great job Nayab.”

“Great lash lift. I was amazed at how easy and painless it was (I have sensitive skin). Wil definitely become addicted to not having to use mascara :D”

“Simin is wonderful! I initially had a series of laser hair treatment with her and I have been seeing her ever since. The results of my treatment were brilliant. Highly recommend!”

“I've recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure and so having headaches etc. I decided to have a neck and head massage. Manju has healing hands as she made me so comfortable and relaxed. It has made a big difference in how I was feeling. I will definitely try to go back again. Thank you Manju.”

“Huge thank you to the beautiful Luisa for my lip neutralisation! I had uneven coloured tones on my lips, darker top and lighter bottom and wanted to match them but still have a bit of the brown so they looked natural and even. Luisa took her time to talk me through the process and made sure I was happy and comfortable. I’m so happy with the results! Luisa is amazing at what she does and her salon is immaculate! I highly recommend her to every and anyone x”

“Roza is incredible, I am going to her for mani & pedi, wax, facial treatments and all the time she surprises me. She is extremely professional but also very warm and lovable! I am a new woman all the time she gives me not only treatments but also positive vibes.”

“The best laser hair removal treatment!! I’ve had LHR at other clinics without the results promised or expected. After only 2-3 sessions of Laser Hair Removal @the face by SK 80% of my hair no longer grows - the results are quite shocking especially around bikini area. The type of laser used is phenomenal with minimal/no pain. Theodora the therapist whom does the LHR makes you feel so comfortable and is so friendly and lovely. Excited to see my results once I’ve completed all my sessions. Highly recommend if your looking for lasting results and excellent service.”

“Got my nails done today by the amazing Roja! She’s so brilliant and very patient with everyone. She makes you feel relaxed and takes her time to do what you want. I would high recommend Toni and Cut. Very happy customer. Thank you so much Roja.”
