I'm Jake, an independent UK travel agent. I've been in travel since I was 16, and I still get properly excited about it. Whether it's a family holiday, an all-inclusive break or a full package holiday, tell me who's coming, roughly when, and what you want out of it, and I'll do the digging, the comparing and the paperwork, then send you something worth getting excited about.

"Jake was so quick with getting a quote for us. Found a great deal. Will always be using him in the future. Thanks again 😀"
"Have followed Jake for a while on socials and for a really big holiday had got a few quotes but occurred to me would be good idea to reach out to Jake. SO glad we did. He ran with the brief , beat the quotes and exceeded expectations (incredible villa , best flight times, longer Disney ticket all for best price). Next level contact and support throughout quote and booking"
"Jake and I actually go back 10 years! Because I wanted a bespoke trip to India with a guide and because I know Jake will be there for anything that I might need to know, it was a no brainer to use him. Jake is helping with all 3 holidays next year for me. A typical package 5 star to RAK, an India trip with tiger safari and a Canadian RV trip. He's brilliant. Quick to help and is there at the end of a message. I trust no one else as much!"
"What an amazing experience! From making contact with Jake to the final booking, was the smoothest experience we've had. His knowledge is endless and advice was spot on. Nothing was too much trouble and every question answered with patience and understanding. I've recommended Jake to all my friends I was so impressed."
"I enquired with Jake about a cruise I saw via his social media, after messaging Jake and receiving more details of everything we made the decision to book. As it will be our first cruise we had some questions and Jake did not hesitate to reassure us and answer any and all questions we had. From start to finish Jake was amazing and I will definitely be booking with him again"
"Jake is amazing! I would not hesitate to book with Jake going forward. So knowledgeable and helpful. He knew exactly what we needed to book. I will be booking with Jake going forward. Thank you Jake. D"
"Jake was really helpful and responded quickly. Booked holiday which was really easy and with a discount."
"Super easy to book with Jake ,no hassle at all .Helpful service 😀"
"Great service; really responsive, professional and helpful. Very user friendly. We'll definitely see how Jake can help again on future holidays!"
"Jake took less than 2 days to achieve what I had tried to over 2 weeks. He got us a great deal for skiing in half term, which came in under budget and looks ideal for us. His communication was excellent and his knowledge and passion was obvious. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing help with booking a holiday. Thanks Jake!"
"I contacted Jake after reviewing travel advisors on Instagram. I was nervous about using this route to book a holiday but was getting fed up of looking online. I had been trying to secure a three generational holiday with free child places, but each time I looked the prices started to rise and it was so frustrating. Working with Jake was so much easier. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and made the process so much easier. I will certainly be using Jake again for future bookings and highly recommend his services to others."
"Jake recently helped us book our DLP trip, would definitely recommend. Very helpful! Thanks, Jake."
"I started following Travel Agent Jake on socials as I find his posts really useful, so I then messaged him to quote on a package holiday and he responded so quickly, matching my price. He is great to deal with, super responsive and knows his stuff, sharing his knowledge of the places and even hotels I was looking at, which helped me decide on which for our family holiday. He is patient, as I was trying to coordinate with other family members before eventually booking, and the booking process was also quick and easy! Would definitely come back for future holidays!"
"Jake was super friendly and quick. He got me quotes for a couple of holidays and answered any questions I had. I was more than happy to book through him and I will definitely use him in future. Thanks Jake"
"I was given Jake's details from a family friend, and I am so glad I was. He helped us change our holiday booking from what was originally just Dubai to also include the Maldives. He found a perfect hotel in the Maldives to complement our Rixos hotel in Dubai and did so for a price that was hard to reject. Jake made the booking process easy and hassle free. We have already asked Jake to quote for our next holiday in 2027, use Jake with confidence."
"Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! Jake was so helpful, always replied really quickly and was so accommodating with all my questions. He never made me feel like I was being a pain, even though I'm sure I asked more questions than most! He listened to what we wanted and helped to find the right holiday for our family. Would definitely recommend him and definitely use him again!"
"Excellent customer service, so helpful, kept me updated with a voicemail if he was busy for a few minutes. Thank you, you're a wee star making the booking stress free, will use you in future for bookings."
"If you're a complete Disneyland Paris novice like me, Jake is the man! I told him what I thought I was after and he literally found the perfect holiday for us and gave me so many helpful tips too! Holiday booked less than 24 hours of contacting him! Will definitely use Jake again for stress free booking, thank you Jake!"
"Jake made the experience of booking our holiday so easy. He was so informative and quick with communication, always at the end of the phone for any questions."
I started in travel at 17, and fifteen years later I'm still at it. Every hotel I recommend is one I've either stayed in, visited, or vetted properly through people I trust.
You get me on WhatsApp, not a call centre. Same person from the first message to the day you land home.
I get asked how booking through an independent agent works all the time, so here it is in plain English.
Tell me what you have in mind, including any examples or quotes you have had so far.
I use my knowledge and expertise to find you a holiday that matches your needs.
Pay a deposit to secure the holiday, then pay in monthly instalments or pay the balance on the balance due date.
Message me with any questions about your holiday, either before or during your trip.
I'll help you get things back on track.
As a self employed travel agent I do not charge any fees to book your holiday. I rely solely on the commission I make from booking it, so you are not paying more than you need to, but you still get a great service.
Did you know?The prices from big companies like TUI, easyJet Holidays and Jet2holidays already include travel agent commission. When you book direct they keep it, but when you book with me I receive it, which helps support my small business and my family.

Real 5-star, not brochure 5-star. Room categories matter more than star ratings.
Kids' clubs that actually get used, pools with shade, and flights at humane times.

Two or three places in one trip, sequenced so it feels like a holiday, not a route march.
No need to find the full balance in one go. Set up monthly payments or one single date to clear what you owe, whatever suits you. Use the calculator to see what your plan would look like.
No obligation, no hard sell. Tell me the rough dates and who's travelling and I'll come back with options.
