About Us

With more than four decades of first-hand experience, travelling to all four corners of our planet in search of hidden gems and supporting local communities as we went, we have an enviable edge in sharing its wonders with you.

Nothing we do is off the shelf; one size never fits all. We work only with trusted partners overseas and, between us, devise itineraries that are entirely bespoke to you.

Your dedicated consultant will be with you throughout the process, from that first call to the day you return home, drawing from their own personal experiences and helping you make the right choices.

But don’t just take our word for it. We’ve received awards from The Sunday Times, The Observer and Conde Nast Traveller, as well as a five-star Feefo rating from our clients.

In line with our company ethos of ‘treading lightly’, we’ve committed to an annual mangrove-planting scheme in Madagascar which will more than offset the emissions created by both our own and our clients’ travels. Your globe-trotting also supports our yearly donations to a variety of health, education, social and wildlife projects worldwide.

We are fully ATOL, ABTA and IATA bonded, which ensures total financial protection for your holiday.

By committing to a future holiday with a fully accredited and bonded travel company such as The Ultimate Travel Company, you can book with confidence, safe in the knowledge that…

• Your holiday will be fully protected financially by our bonds with ATOL and ABTA.
• Our team of destination experts are on hand to talk you through the specific conditions relating to all aspects of your holiday and to help you make safe and informed decisions.
• If within a few weeks of departure government restrictions in place either here or abroad prevent you from travelling, you can choose to postpone your holiday or receive a full cash refund.
• Flight Disruption – we will do everything we can to get you to your destination as quickly and smoothly as possible. In the unlikely event that we are unable to do so, we will either re-arrange your holiday for a later date and absorb any additional costs incurred or reimburse you in full for all monies paid to us.
