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

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).

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 😊

Richard Goodenough

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.

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

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.

Booked a holiday on the Orient Express to Venicewith the lovely Sasha she sorted everything for us all we had to do was select the Hotel we wanted to stay in Venice for 3 nights . Nothing was to much trouble and answered any question we had very quickly ... would highly recommend Mulberry Travel to book holidays and so glad we came across them. Thank you all again for your help in booking us a fantastic holiday.

I recently travelled to Vienna and stayed in a five star hotel San Souci. After spending two days in Vienna my son and myself boarded the famous Orient Express train back to Paris and then onto London with Eurostar premium. The whole trip was organised by Mulberry Travel who arranged everything to perfection. I would recommend Mulberry travel to anyone. They took great care to ensure that we did not have any problems with our itinerary. The train ride on the Orient Express was in my opinion one of the best experiences of my life.

Sasha at Mulberry Travel was a delight to work with and she curated a trip of a lifetime. All the transport was seamless, the hotel was fantastic and the event was an event of a lifetime. I will definetly work with Mulberry Travel again.
