Marvellous Escapes Omdömen 

Laurie was very helpful - gave information, kept in touch etc, all at the agreed times.

Explained everything very clearly.

18 day trip across Canada, premium economy from Heathrow to Vancouver, car to hotel waiting at airport. We had a hop on hop off bus tour which was a good way to to use our limited time. We had a full day coach trip to Vancouver island to Butchart gardens which were beautiful and Victoria. Transfer to the Rocky Mountain train, goldleaf excellent food and plenty to drink great staff making sure we wanted for nothing while we experienced the sights of the Rockies. Night stay Kamloops transfer back to train and on to Jasper yet more food and drink. More organised trips out to Maligne lake for boat cruise, next day
Columbia Icefields sky walk and walking on the Glacier great day out. Coach to Calgary night stop over . We flew to Toronto and had an excellent hotel view of lake and harbour. We took the trip to Niagra falls,the boat trip was a great experience but you'll get damp despite the ponchos. We took a Toronto harbour boat tour which gave a nice alternative view of the city. Business class train travel to Ottowa for one night, next day by train to Montreal, hop on hop off bus tour then day at leisure . We travelled on to Quebec city by train,the following day we had coach trip around the city. Our coach driver/ guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Return to Montreal airport by limousine for flight home. This was a great trip of life time all sorted by the staff at Marvellous Escapes, covered all our wishes . All travel and transfers were all smooth and we were lucky enough to have great weather. This is the second time we have used Marvellous Escapes both time a good experience.
Thanks to the staff for all their help.

I spoke with Hayley, having messaged her earlier in the year. I was unable to guarantee I could fly at the time of travel due to medical reasons. Hayley took my budget, my dates of preferred travel, my destination and expectations and put together an amazing package as a surprise for my husbands 70th. Hayley arranged for all the travel to be done by train, from start to finish to avoid any problems with flying.
Hayley put this together super quickly and in great detail. Hayley emailed the schedule with links and images and details of all the trips. We’ve also discussed what to wear and I have been sent restaurant recommendations too.
I’m also really impressed to know that the package including all tickets will sent out to me before the trip and although I will also have digital copies, I will be more relaxed if I have the paper copies too. I didn’t realise how important this was to me until I discovered this would be done.
I cannot wait to gift this to my husband on his 70th Birthday.
It will be such a brilliant gift and the bonus is I get to share every minute of it with him! 😉😍
The booking process was straightforward and the service from Hayley was exceptional.

Incredible from planning to end of holiday.
Hayley listened to the holiday we were looking for. Then presented our plan, a few tweaks and we had our holiday.
Great support package with tickets, timetable, we added journey time from our hotel. We requested early breakfast for early starts at the hotel when needed.
The tours where amazing, although we made a newbie mistake and miss heard the time to return to bus, so got a taxi to catch up. For us this was okay, no panic just do it.
The odd day off to relax and explore the local area was also amazing walking in the gardens in Florence, exploring Sorento and we went Kayaking which I would highly recommend as you visit a hidden cove with ruin villa, our guide was very knowledgeable and told as about the fishing, Sorento, and history of the ruin. Bus tour of Rome, wow!
Get you feet ready to tour Vatican and Colosseum, we did this and wore comfy walking trainers. I noticed others struggle and grumble.
Not exactly what we were seeking to start, but absolutely perfecto! Thank you Marvelous Escapes

The holiday organised on our behalf was well considered and well organised. Communication throughout was brilliant. We were in Oslo when the funeral of the late king Harold was taking place and Laurie got in touch to warn us of road closures etc.
Having never visited Norway before, the advice received prior to travelling was very useful.
I would recommend Marvellous Escapes to anyone looking to travel to Norway and we would certainly use them again.

Hayley organised the perfect trip for us to explore Italy by train. Venice, Florence and Rome. The hotels were wonderful in great locations to explore the cities. Travel by train was easy, reliable and comfortable. Documentation provided was thorough and well presented. Would highly recommend Hayley for your travel needs.

Our first time using Marvellous escapes the service has been incredible and such a personal experience we dealt with Christian who Taylor made our golden wedding anniversary trip I cannot speak highly enough about every aspect of the experience in booking our trip I think we will be making many more journeys with the company thank you Christian excellent

We have booked a holiday for 2027. The initial organisation and booking has been flawless.
Laurie created an itinerary that fulfilled everything we asked for and was incredibly helpful.
Customer service is exceptional.

Christian was patient and attentive and drew up an itinerary that matched our wish list
Very prompt responses even out of hours.
Impressive

My experience was tailored to me and as I will be travelling alone I felt safer being guided by experienced people. It has taken away the stress and enabled me to look forward to my trip to Norway which is something I have wanted to do for a long time.

I have been doing my own travel planning for many years but due to a very busy schedule this year, I decided to use an independent travel company. We are still very much independent travelers so wanted just the bare bones of a rail trip to Italy encompassing Venice, Florence and Rome. Marvelous Escapes (ME) listened carefully and planned a trip for us that worked out perfectly. The train timings were at sociable hours designed to arrive at the hotels in time for check in and the seats were all in good quieter locations on the train. The hotels were all good and centrally located in each city. ME suggested appropriate tours and activities for each city, some of which we took up and some not, preferring to 'do our own thing'. The whole process was spelt our clearly from the initial call and followed exactly from booking to departure. We received an excellent travel pack containing all the information we needed to follow the routing successfully, including travel tickets. We also got the tickets in softcopy for use on our phones and tablets. All in all it was a good experience from a highly professional team. It wasn't cheap but didn’t break the bank either,

We haven’t actually gone anywhere yet, but the booking experience with Laurie was delightful. She had prepared an ideal itinerary for us and explained everything extremely clearly.

Laurie organised my Orient Express trip Verona to Paris
Well organised stayed in touch in case we had problem and everything was perfect
Thank you for wonderful trip

Back from absolute trip of a lifetime for husbands 60th surprise birthday. Laurie arranged a perfect itinerary which encompassed the orient express starting in Paris and ending in Venice. I could not fault anything and made the whole holiday stress free with everything arranged.

Firstly, Laurie Bizouard, Travel Designer, Marvellous Escapes, put a holiday package in Switzerland together for my wife and I that suited our needs perfectly and we did not have to change any of it - two days in Lucerne, two days in Zurich, and two days in Chur. We had the right balance between free time as well as the organised events. All the tickets were provided in advance and with supporting information - all extremely helpful. The holiday was great and the Swiss trains an absolute joy, especially the Bernina Express. If you are going to Switzerland for the first time, please note that many of their plug sockets are different from those in the rest of Europe and you will need a special adaptor.

We had our holiday to Switzerland arranged by Laurie. It was so well organised and we enjoyed it so much we would love to do something similar. Travelling by train was a fantastic opportunity to relax and admire the scenery. We hope to return to Switzerland in the future- a truly beautiful place.

Absolutely fantastic trip last week - Norway in a Nutshell. The trip was extremely well planned and everything ran exactly as planned. Trains were perfectly timed to give you time to explore as well as get to your destinations. Hotels were excellent and perfectly located for ease of access to the train stations and amenities and sights. Most hotels were next door to the train stations. The hotel and train in Flåm were exceptional and such a great addition to the trip. Would highly recommend this trip and Marvellous Escapes - Olivia Price was extremely helpful. The organisation of the paperwork was excellent and sent in a timely manner.

We had an amazing time in Switzerland, flying to Basel then using trains, including Glacier Express and Bernina Express to travel to Lucerne, Interlaken, Montreux, Zermatt and StMoritz. Our step by step itinerary which Christian created for us, was easy to use we didn’t encounter any issues with trains. There was staff in each station to offer help if needed. The hotels were easily found, were in great locations and we had plenty of choice for breakfast. We had some added surprises in the way of chocolate, snacks and the free minibar. Before we left, we searched for extra information about the areas we were visiting and were able to fit in a few extra attractions in addition to those suggested. Having beautiful weather throughout the trip together with spectacular scenery, made the whole experience wonderful. I would recommend Marvellous Escapes and will definitely use this company in future.
(for anyone’s information, Interlaken has two stations, Ost and West, something to be aware off when arriving/departing).

Amazing service from Olivia.
Really understood exactly what we wanted from a holiday.
No pressure - just gentle guidance & support.
The booking process was so easy & gave us confidence with the future holiday.

The staff went over and above to find me exactly what i wanted. Great price great service. They were very helpful and very knowledgable.
