An incredible trip to Venice to see Andrea Bocelli all arranged by Mollie. Everything as planned, flights, water taxis & accommodation couldn’t ask for more. A magical time. Thank you

Mulberry Travel, especially Sasha, has been an incredibly helpful partner in creating wonderful journeys for us. Despite the fact that we are in the United States and they are in the UK, Sasha and team have been exceptionally accessible, patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Last year when a luxury train journey in England was cancelled at 4 am on the day we were set to fly to England, she helped us plan an alternative trip at the very last minute. She planned another trip for us this summer. Kudos to Sasha and her team. They are great!

Back form a fantastic holiday organised by Sasha at Mulberry Travel on a Med Cruise with the Monaco Grand Prix. Sasha sent hard copies of all paperwork which made it much easier than looking on our phones. We had a 1 day / night in Nice before the Cruise, - he hotel was very nice and central for going out in the day / night and then only a 10 mins walk to the port to pick up our cruise. I asked for an end of aisle seat at the Grand Prix as my husband has a bad left knee and easier to sit at the end of aisle. - This request was delivered. We will definitely use Mulberry Travel again.

Sasha, our agent, compiled a wonderful and exceptionally well thought out trip to Paris to catch the Venice Simplon Orient Express to Istanbul and a short stay in Istanbul afterwards. Everything was perfect; from the proposed hotels in Paris and Istanbul, to the transfers between airports and hotels. Sasha listened to everything we wanted to experience and delivered above our expectations, with exemplary and timely communications. Altogether, we thoroughly recommend Mulberry Travel.

Andy Williamson

just wanted to say thank you for all your help booking the Grand National trip aboard the British Pullman. We all had a wonderful day and everything was organised so well. They arranged reserved seating on the coach transfers for us and my wife managed the whole day despite her cancer, such was the care taken.

Dear Lee and all the Mulberry Travel Team, We just wanted to thank you for organising such a wonderful trip to the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. The Hotel Mayfair was absolutely perfect for us, comfortable, elegant, and ideally located. The drivers throughout the weekend and for our airport transfers were excellent, especially Riswan, who drove us to and from the races. He was not only professional but also a wonderful guide, sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge of Paris and France, which really added to the experience. Attending the Arc itself was something we had wanted to do for many years, and we’re so glad to have finally experienced it. Thank you again to you and your team for arranging everything so beautifully. You took all the stress out of the trip for us and we are very grateful. It truly was a memorable weekend. Warm regards, Maggie, Richard & Eleanor

I cannot recommend Sasha at Mulberry Travel highly enough. Her exemplary service, talent at curating trips and attention to detail as well as support while you travel is unsurpassed. I continue to use Sasha for my travel and have recommended her to friends and colleagues.

Sasha and her colleagues did a fantastic job helping organising our honeymoon, arranging everything; sorting the flights and transfers and picking the hotels for the two centre trip to Verona and Lake Garda that we wanted. Everything went smoothly from the flights, the transfers from Verona airport to the hotel in Verona, between Verona and Sirmione and the return to the airport, the hotels and the Opera (which was a highlight).

Mr & Mrs Gray

Exceptional company who are responsive at all times .Outstanding communication and all arrangements were perfect

Wendy Taylor

We have just returned from seeing Andrea Bocelli in Italy. The whole trip was organised by Mulberry Travel. I cant recommend them highly enough. They organised everything from flights to transfers to accommodation and also tickets for the concert. Everything ran seamlessly. The Hotel L'Orologia in Florence was one if their recommendations. It was beautiful and centrally situated on a lovely piazza. Transfers to and from the airport and the concert ran like clockwork. I will certainly be booking with Mulberry Travel again for any trips. It took the worry out of organising myself which I would normally do.

Jane Stonehouse

Sasha and Mollie were fantastic from the initial enquiry to the final plans . Every aspect of the trip was amazing and the Concert was truly amazing ! I cannot praise Mulberry Travel enough . A wonderful trip ! Thank you 😊

We booked the British Pullman for my wife’s birthday and Mollie Ellis your Consultant could not have done more for us. She answered any questions that I had and kept in touch from the initial booking through to our day out to Bath. We had a fantastic day and I will certainly book through Mollie and Mulberry travel in the future.

Robert Hawkins

We contacted Mulberry Travel to enquire about a 2025 Monaco F1 package as we could find nothing that suited us in Australia. Sasha was incredible and put together a wonderful package for us. The whole booking process was so easy and we were kept informed every step of the way. Our trip leaves us with fantastic memories. Thankyou Sasha and Mulberry Travel. We certainly recommend this company to anyone in UK or Australia

Nick Phillips

I recently booked a cruise to include tickets to Monaco Grand Prix for a special birthday surprise. Sasha contacted me via email so as not to spoil the surprise. This attention to detail continued along with timely correspondance throughout the whole planning period. The cruise was a great success but the hotel recommendations and even private hire transfers from airport, hotel and cruise port were all part of the very professional service and nothing was too much trouble. I would happily recommend Mulberry Travel to friends and family and will definitely use their services again. Thank you.

Fantastic service, before, dueing and after by the team

Hilary Ware

Sasha has been the most amazing partner in planning and arranging travel. Her care, responsiveness and creativity is outstanding. I am deeply appreciative of all she has done and look forward to planning future trips with Sasha.

Siobhan O'Shea

Thank you Lee for organising our trip so well. So professional, organised, proactive and helpful. It was a wonderful trip and we will certainly recommend Mulberry Travel to friends and family.

Neil Sheridan

Thank you, Mulberry Travel, for putting together an amazing trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary to Venice, returning to London via Paris on the iconic and timeless Venice-Simplon Orient Express. Big thanks to Mollie and Sasha in particular for all their efforts to make it such a memorable experience.

Mollie, put together a surprise trip for my wife's 50th on the Orient Express to Venice. The whole process was organised and delivered to perfection. Highly recommed their services.
