What made the holiday special, and so easy-going, was the meticulous organisation by Mickledore Travel, from the initial booking to the end of the trip. I know it is a cliché, but Mickledore really did exceed our expectations.

Professional, responsive and a very well-organised self-guided tour. This was particularly important as I was travelling from abroad and travelling alone. Realistically, I could never have made the arrangements as seamless as Mickledore did. Excellent in every respect.

Everything went like clockwork – our bags were always waiting for us, the taxi was on time, all the hosts were expecting us.
