Hours spent internet browsing to get the best deal when booking my holiday and then I called Ed at Seventy Ten Travel and this is what happened…

I don’t know about you, but I have been suckered into the trend of internet browsing for the cheapest deals for flights and accommodation. It takes quite literally HOURS to coordinate a family holiday from trying to find flights that link in with accommodation availability, sorting the transfers (usually in a foreign language!), not to mention the endless googling on hotels or Owners Direct Villas. Don’t get me started on my deeply stressful villa scam where emails were intercepted and monies paid to rogue hackers….

Even trying to book flights to Ireland this summer with 2 groups flying out on different days and returning together on the same day seemed to be unduly complicated and definitely expensive.

Then, it was recommended that I contact Ed Burke…

Ed and Rosie run a boutique travel company called Seventy Ten Travel, offering their customers a truly personalised travel service.

Contrary to popular belief, using a personalised travel service will not cost any more than D.I.Y’ing on the internet and of course comes with much less risk, wasted time and the potential for disappointment. Ed and Rosie charge the same prices as booking directly with the hotels or airlines who pay them a commission for booking – a real win win – you get the free advice, the organisation taken out of your hands, full backup and 100% financial security without paying any more!

Together Ed and Rosie have a combined 25 years experience, helping people make the most of their limited holiday time.

They have found many of their customers have become frustrated with the never ending choice and potential pitfalls of booking online.

They also find many clients have become tired of the impersonality and inflexibility of the larger tailor-made travel companies. They appreciate dealing with a real human being, who “gets” – and really cares about what they are looking for – rather than just trying to sell them what comes up on their computer screen!

Ed and Rosie pride themselves on understanding what their customers want – this can only be achieved through experience. Throughout their time in the industry, Ed and Rosie have the enviable task of “testing” much of the product they sell. Ed has a young family so knows the perils of traveling with children and Rosie is about to embark on two exciting honeymoons!

Everyone has a different ideal holiday: some want to lie on the beach and do nothing, others don’t want to sit still. Some want a mixture of the two. Or a family might all want different things. Our job, and we like to think a skill, is interpreting that and designing the perfect holiday.

Ed and Rosie are always contactable, realising that you may prefer to organise your holidays in the evenings or over weekends.

So next time you are trying to organise a family holiday or perhaps a romantic getaway [from the children!], then why not at least give Ed & Rosie a call and see if they can find you a brilliant holiday at a great price with no hours of internet browsing!
