"The itinerary struck a great balance between must-see highlights and enough flexibility to explore at our own pace. It felt like having a well-informed guide without losing the freedom to personalise our experience."
"Lucy was so helpful when we were planning our trip to Tromso and gave us great tips ref accommodation, restaurants, trips and what clothes to pack to keep warm. We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 days in Tromso."
"Every moment of the holiday had a purpose and the holiday flowed so smoothly, it was the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. The route was mapped out perfectly, with hidden gems along the way."
"Their tips were clear, authentic, and made me feel like a savvy local even though it was my first time in the city. It was like having a well-travelled friend whispering local secrets in my ear."
"If it weren't for Lucy's recommendations, we would never have spent a glorious day visiting Greenwich while traveling in the UK. Thank you for great suggestions and easy to follow directions."
"Packed full of really useful advice and inspiration for fantastic holidays. I love the road trips and can't wait to go to Australia to follow the itinerary for the road trip from Perth to Esperance."
"I have been able to find some hidden gems in terms of food and drink in Harrogate, currently working my way down the list of both! Will absolutely be using this website again."

There is a section dedicated to planning techniques, stories and resources, including how to maximise reward schemes.
Maximising reward points
Signing up to an airline reward scheme, or hotel points scheme, can be a great investment for benefits further down the line, as it takes time to build up points to hit the reward levels. The following blogs outline how to sign up and start saving for airline and hotel rewards.
