For the last 4 years, I've been creating holidays for customers here in the UAE and also from the UK and I am so excited that travel is now absolutely back and booming after the last couple of years of uncertainty.
With 25 years of travel industry experience, I'd be delighted to create your next trip, whether it is family time away, a special occasion or a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list holiday. And this can be to pretty much anywhere in the world! I specialize in tailormade holidays and aim to exceed expectations with unique and authentic experiences – all personalized just for you.

I'd like to quickly tell you a little more about me…
I’ve lived here in Dubai with my family since 2011, with a short stay of just 15 months in Singapore as well.
I am lucky to have travelled extensively over the 7 continents, with one of the highlights being the absolute privilege of visiting Antarctica. Tabular icebergs, penguins galore, exploration history and amazing wildlife are memories that I’ll treasure forever. In recent years, I've been to Costa Rica, Japan, Iceland, Maldives, Mauritius, Greece, USA, Georgia, Nepal and Zanzibar. And this local knowledge, as well as my years of working for leading Tour Operators (Trailfinders in the UK and Emirates Holidays in the UAE) has given me a lot of information to share.
We are so lucky in the UAE to have access to an amazing flight network and many destinations within easy reach as well as lots of long weekends and extended holiday periods to take full advantage of. All of which means great travel opportunities all round!
So, please do get in touch to discuss your next holiday - I look forward to hearing from you.

So glad I got in touch with Andrea for my short holiday in Thailand. She suggested 3 great options and organised the hotel bookings very quickly. Payment was easy. The hotel she suggested for us was absolutely perfect. Exactly what we needed. I would absolutely recommend Andrea if you want a personalised service and the know-how of an experienced travel agent.

Andrea and I have worked together on two trips to date. Lapland and the Maldives, she is amazing in what she does by taking the stress out of planning a family holiday. Lapland we travel this December.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Andrea for booking our holiday to Dubai. It's the first time Andrea has helped us and it won't be the last. All of her help and knowledge was invaluable. She totally understood what was important to us and helped us from beginning to end, with flights, hotel and trips. We had an amazing time. It's given us a taste and we'll definitely be back in the future. We'd highly recommend.

Working with Andrea to arrange a 50th birthday holiday bash for 5 of us was made so easy thanks to her!
Andrea listened to all our needs and expectations and then guided us in a direction to suit all our needs. With 5 people with different expectations , she managed to secure the perfect place for all of us. Even though we constantly asked many questions, nothing was too much trouble.
Her professionalism and approachability was second to none and I would highly recommend using her if you plan a visit to Dubai and we will definitely be issuing her for future visits.

Just wanted to say thanks to Andrea for organising a great trip for us. The resort was exactly what we wanted and we absolutely loved having the water villa - a must when staying in the Maldives if you ask me! The food was lovely and catered for lots of different cuisines and tastes and the cocktails in the bar were delicious! All the staff were very friendly. Thanks a million!

Andrea and her team helped us organize one of the best staycations ever! We were all very wary of a staycation in RAK at 50 degrees, so undoutedly had many questions and bothered Andrea a lot! She was always available and even when she wasn't she made sure someone was looking after us. We were a party of 12 so you can imagine the requests and silly questions that came her way. Even from the hotel, she was helpful and guiding me on how to get things done. I'm now completely spoilt and could never go back to booking.com! I haven't gotten to the best part yet! The deal she scored us for Hilton RAK all inclusive was outstanding. I wasn't extremely impressed with the hotel but the experience through Andrea and her team was fantastic. Would highly recommend her.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Andrea Britchford for yet again going over and above what we expected. We checked in to Le Royal Méridien in Dubai for a two night staycay. On arrival we had been upgraded to a two bedroom suite with club lounge, half board and 5pm check out. Incredible value for money for a family of four so we enjoyed breakfast, afternoon tea, pre-dinner drinks and 3 course dinner in any of the restaurants, all included in our original quoted price. We even received complimentary wine delivered to our suite!
Andrea made the booking and phoned the hotel to ensure that we were looked after. We certainly were! Thank you yet again for incredible value for money and amazing personal touch service.

A huge thanks to Andrea for assisting with our weekend to the Intercon in Fujairah with friends. Everything was organised beautifully and we had a super weekend. We were particularly grateful for the use of the private dining room which was fabulous and we really enjoyed all our meals in there and appreciated the privacy. The hotel were very accommodating and we really did have a lovely break away from Dubai...

I cannot recommend Andrea enough !
We had an amazing two night stay at Al Maha for our wedding anniversary.
Everything to do with the booking was handled so smoothly, her knowledge of the property and the most up to the minute Intel on what was open made the decision making process so much easier.
Andrea followed up with the hotel to ensure the most secluded of the villas and arranged some lovely extras for us - this connection with the hotel and attention to detail makes a break/holiday even more special.
We all know that with the internet , booking a hotel is just a click away, but the personalised service, unbeatable offers and the little touches that Andrea delivers make her a gem who's number and email you need in your phones contacts list.

Spent the last weekend at RAK Waldorf. What a fantastic getaway! Andrea found us an amazing deal on a beautiful suite overlooking the sea. The room was huge! All the amenities you could ask for. She even arranged a couple of extra special surprises. Andrea is an amazing travel counsellor as she knew what we wanted before we even asked. She checked on us to be sure we were being treated like royalty (we were!). Her contacts at the hotel went out of their way to make us really welcomed. Honestly this is the first time we have used a travel counsellor (we all have the internet!). NOW we get why and will do so every time. Special deals and personal attention took any stress off us and made sure we were happy. Thank you Andrea!

Exemplary service. Andrea listened to my requirements carefully and met them wholeheartedly. Any questions were answered promptly and nothing was too much trouble. I felt valued and important as a customer and I am thrilled with every aspect of my travel package including convenient flight times and the optional extras which were suggested and are now booked in. Andrea provided me with a truly professional experience from start to finish and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect, tailor made holiday. You won’t be disappointed.

I'm a pretty seasoned traveler so I was hesitant in going to a Travel Counsellor but boy am I glad I did! Andrea was so amazing in helping us prepare for our Arabian adventure. We've always been so curious about Dubai and its' endless luxury and Andrea really showed us a beautiful extravagant holiday without breaking the bank. Huge highlights were obviously the two Burj's and we also visited beaches and local restaurants and took a tour through the desert with a reputable and safe company - all at Andrea's recommendation. Thank you Andrea for such a beautiful experience. I can't wait to use your services again on our next adventure - I'm thinking Bali!!

Andrea was so good at giving solid travel advice but she's also an expert in the 'off the beaten track' treasures...we had an amazing holiday...and we are, of course, now planning our next adventure with Andrea.
