Kath is a lovely woman and was very helpful with booking our holiday and had lots of patience with me cos we kept changing dates and other people kept dropping out so had to change everything. So thank you kath 5 stars from me.

Kath was so helpful in arranging a multi stop holiday to Thailand, she took on board all our needs and wishes and I think she’s come up with something really special tailored to us. It must have taken some working out with multi destinations, flights, hotels and transfers. The knowledge that Kath has with her experience is worth a phone call to her, she isn’t pushy and she will tweak it, always happy to answer questions you may have. I can’t wait for our dream holiday.

Great servie despite the trounles in Far East Guide very thorough. My only criticism would be that it was too busy , no time to relax or buy souvenires. Comfort breaks were too hectic to even get a coffee. Sites were good Drivers and guides excellent. But would hesitae to go with Titan again just because of the rushed atmosphere. Door to door pickup was the key for me as I hat airports. But other excursions have been more relaxed. This was definately a tour not a holiday 9 out of 10 from me.
