We have recently returned from an Argentinian cruise organised by Stanhope travel. As always, every detail was sorted, I would have expected nothing less, they always go that extra mile. On the way home we were caught by problems at Schipol airport.

Wouldn’t use anyone else,just had an amazing cruise in the caribean(6 or 7 now) all booked through Stanhope travel. Never used any one else since they moved in to the town near us. Staff are all so helpful and friendly,nothing is a problem
Lesley Blackett
Fabulous and faultless travel agent to use.
They did literally everything possible for us to make our holiday as slick and easy as could be - Including booking our seats on the return journey within seconds following my sos call from Dubai to them as I was unable to navigate the emirates booking site . Huge thanks . Wouldn’t go anywhere else x

Cannot speak too highly about the standards of service offered by Stanhope Travel. Several years ago, I needed a winter break from my busy job. They recommended Lanzarote and a particular place and made all the arrangements. It was one of the best holidays I have ever had.

We’ve used Stanhope Travel for many years and highly recommend them. Sam, Jon and the whole team really know their stuff. You’re in safe hands with this company.
