Why choose escorted travel? Charlotte Ashleigh Product Manager Sales Manager Charlotte creates tours for several regions around the world, working to curate perfect itineraries to delight our customers. Ashleigh leads a fantastic team of Tour Advisors who help customers find and book their perfect escorted holiday. 10 How do you curate the best itineraries? It's about creating the right balance of iconic highlights and hidden gems, ensuring every destination feels authentic rather than rushed. I also look carefully at journey times, pacing, accommodation and customer feedback, so that every itinerary delivers the right mix of experiences. The aim is always to create a holiday that feels genuinely memorable. What is special about our immersive excursions? Our immersive excursions go beyond sightseeing and help customers connect with a destination on a deeper level. One of my favourite excursions is the pink rickshaw experience in Jaipur; not only is it a fantastic way to explore the city, but the initiative also supports local women. These are the kinds of experiences that transform a holiday from simply seeing a place into truly understanding it. How do you decide where new tours should be? It's a combination of customer demand, market trends and finding opportunities to offer something distinctive. We analyse customer feedback, look at emerging destinations and assess what gaps exist in our range. We then work with our trusted local partners to craft new itineraries that complement our existing tours while bringing something fresh and exciting to our customers. Your time is precious and we know you want to make the most of your holidays. From our destination experts who plan the itineraries to our customer service team and market-leading Tour Managers who escort you throughout, we look after all the details so you can savour every moment. How do you help our customers? We help customers choose the holiday that's right for them. We take the time to understand what they're looking for, answer any questions, and share our knowledge to help bring their travel plans to life. We want every customer to feel confident, informed and genuinely excited about the incredible experiences waiting for them! What are our customers' most common queries? We often hear: "What is an escorted rail holiday actually like?" It's the best of both worlds! You get to relax and enjoy the experience, knowing all the planning has been taken care of. Whether it's their first trip with us or their tenth, it's always a pleasure to answer their questions and reassure them that they'll be looked after every step of the way.
