Amelia at Flitch Travel carefully listened to our requirements for our bespoke four-week holiday to South Africa. She obtained quotes from various specialist suppliers for comparison, which enabled us to select a package that met our needs perfectly. We have just returned from our once-in-a-lifetime trip and couldn’t be happier with all the arrangements made for us. We had an amazing time.

The Only Way to Book!
Amie & Amelia have been outstanding!
I usually handle our holiday bookings, but I must say I have enjoyed taking a back seat this time. Ladies, this is definitely the first of many more!
Roll on October....I'll be back!

Amelia was incredibly helpful and guided us through the booking process. Nothing was too much trouble, and upon completing our booking, we received a box of chocolates that was greatly appreciated.

I’ve visited Flitch Travel a few times, and Amelia has been exceptionally kind and helpful. I will definitely be using Flitch Travel for all my flights. My daughter has booked flights with you as well on my recommendation. I’ve also shared with many friends what a great service you provide.

Flitch travel booked our honeymoon 3 years ago which was amazing and no other holiday lived up to it... until now. Shandrani beachcomber hotel, Mauritius was incredible. We were looked after so thoroughly. All the staff were incredibly welcoming, couldn’t do enough for you. Thank you so much for booking such a wonderful holiday, can’t wait to go back!
Claire Katie Eastaugh
Very friendly and understanding. We had a detailed set of requirements which Flitch managed in a way that made us feel that an individual plan was being made.

A big thank you to Rebecca of Flitch Travel, I went in not really knowing where to go for my family holiday, I gave her my requirements, she ran through the pro’s and con’s of various options and I opted for Turkey. Now returned from an amazing time my family and I had at the Resort we chose, I look forward to dealing with her again for my next holiday experience.
