Hattie helped us organise a fantastic holiday to Iceland. Due to severe weather on one of the days we needed to change plans and Hattie was quick to sort things out, allowing us to continue with our day. Would highly recommend Travelling Whale.

We were very lucky to use the Traveling Whale for our latest family adventure. With so many opinions and ideas the team really created the perfect holiday for each of us. We had the opportunity to visit the places we wanted to go to with ease along with a few other places that we did not think/ know of. All the travel and venue suggestions, activity recommendations and thoughtful planning considerations that were given to us were most appreciated. (Also) The little check in's by Hattie really put my mind at ease as we were bouncing from one sunny island to another. I could not go back to doing any kind of holidays or traveling without the Traveling Whale team now (I've been royally spoilt). Thank you and thank you again!!

Booked my summer holiday using travelling whale and couldn't recommend them highly enough. Our trip had numerous locations and hotels across the Caribbean to factor in. The travelling whale team made moving between spots a breeze, all while maintaining clear comms, despite being in a completely different time zone, cant wait to use their service again!

What a great travel company Hattie is running,sustainability being the key. My old mate and me recently decided to do two F1 races that were running back to back ,the Spanish at circuit de catalunya Barcelona and the race at Monaco,we now had 5 days to explore the coast between Barcelona and Monaco ,now this is where the expertise of Hattie came into play ,we gave her the task of booking trains ,boats and hotels along the route which saved us a huge amount of time. The trip was marvellous and seamless ,a very scenic route along the coast stopping of at Montpellier,Heres,StTropez and finally Nice... what a great way to see and visit these lovely towns,we will be back.... can’t thank Hattie and team enough for all the booking and information to make the trip so good .

My husband and I spent the most amazing couple of nights here with our two young children and our friends who also have two little ones. It was perfect. Plenty of space upstairs and downstairs, super comfy beds, a wonderful garden and walking distance from a number of excellent pubs, with a playground in the one next door - brilliant! Beautiful walks all around us with lots of animals roaming free - just wonderful. We couldn’t have hoped for more. Thank you!

Travelling Whale were absolutely amazing in organising a perfect long weekend away in Istanbul. We were recommended a shortlist of handpicked hotels that were locally owed, ideal locations and each had something special / unique about them. We picked our favourite and then Travelling Whale took care of the rest! Our booking with the hotel was immediately secured and they also offered to book airport transfers and other reservations to enhance our holiday. Hattie at Travelling Whale then sent plenty of local area recommendations, key language phrases and helpful tips, which were so appreciated. I couldn’t recommend our experience enough and cannot wait to avoid scrolling through Booking.com for our next trip and book directly with the TW team again.
