Trips I can plan

From a quick break to the big one you’ve been saving for, every trip starts with a chat about what you love.

  • Palm trees and a thatched parasol on a white-sand beach beside calm blue sea

    Beach & sun

    Packages, all inclusive resorts and villas, from easy short-haul sunshine to far-flung islands.

  • The Hungarian Parliament building on the Danube in Budapest at golden hour

    City breaks

    Fly-and-stay, rail and UK theatre breaks, with hotels in the right spot so you make the most of every day.

  • A white cruise ship sailing on a calm sea at sunset

    Cruises

    Ocean, river and expedition cruising. I’ll help you find the line, ship, route and cabin that suit you.

    Family holidays

    Kids’ clubs, villas, Florida, family cruises and UK breaks, with the practical details thought through.

About Tarryn

Hello, I’m Tarryn Bates, an Independent Travel Agent with InteleTravel, originally from South Africa and now based in Liverpool. I’ve spent years in the travel sector, including many years working on cruise ships and travelling all over the world, so I know first-hand what makes a trip feel special.

Read more about me

I plan all kinds of holidays: beach escapes and city breaks, honeymoons and celebrations, family holidays, tours, and cruises too. Because I’ve seen so much of the world myself, I can talk you through a destination, not just book it.

I have a degree in Hospitality Management and have worked as an events coordinator in Abu Dhabi, which gave me an organiser’s eye for detail. That shows in every trip I plan, especially celebrations and group holidays, where the little things matter. Tell me what you’re dreaming of, and I’ll plan it.
