Awards

Best Small Tour Operator - Second place

Announced on October 16th 2010

We are absolutely thrilled to have received this award in such a hard fought category. We are indebted to the many Guests who voted for us to whom we would like to offer our most sincere thanks. You know where our aspirations lie next!

The Guardian & Observer Travel Awards constitute the UK’s most prestigious awards

The awards are the result of the UK’s largest independent travel survey

The award is voted for independently by members of the public – not by a panel of judges

As well as thanking our Guests we would also like to thank our family of property owners and their teams, together with the entire Exclusive Escapes team for their considerable enthusiasm and commitment.

We fervently believe that our property portfolio and associated services go somewhat beyond the normal scope of traditional ‘tour-operating’ (an expression we abhor incidentally). We also believe with a passion we have only just begun to achieve what is ultimately possible and assure our guests we will continually strive to improve.

We thank you all once again for your support - it is very much appreciated.
