Sue – The Ring of Kerry & South West Ireland – July 2022
We have recently returned from our holiday - Ring of Kerry and South West Ireland - and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Our hotel, Westlodge, was excellent, the staff were all very friendly and helpful, and we found the food to be delicious. We enjoyed our trips out, and Liz our rep was very informative. We also enjoyed the company of our fellow holidaymakers.
Thank you, Newmarket Holidays, for a fabulous trip to Borneo. What a fascinating place. We were a party of 15 strangers who, thanks to Newmarket Holidays, are now 15 friends. We ranged in ages from 18 to 76 years, all with a common purpose, to see wildlife and see it we did. The hotels were as described (we loved the stilted village on the river), and for the last few days, we were transported to a five-star beach hotel where we could relax and reflect. Now we are planning a trip to Kenya, almost all the 15. Keep up the good work Newmarket Holidays, thank you!

A lovely introduction to the Highlands of Scotland. Very well organised – from the flights to the train and coach travel to the hotel. Our excellent guide was Robert – very knowledgeable and entertaining, and our driver Mick is great too. Fabulous scenery with three great train journeys and the bonus of a cruise on Loch Ness and a trip to Culloden battlefield when our steam train was rescheduled.

Heather – Belfast & the Titanic Experience – May 2022
David – Scottish Highland Railways – April 2022 it.
David – Dubrovnik, Montenegro & the Dalmatian Coast – June 2022
We have had a wonderful holiday with the tour, Dubrovnik, Montenegro & the Dalmatian Coast. Our guide Ivan and driver Nick were first class. Ivan was very experienced and knowledgeable. We visited three countries in one week. An excellent itinerary with lots to see – all very interesting. Both hotels were lovely with delicious meals. The staff at both hotels were very friendly and nothing was a trouble to them. The second hotel was an upgrade, which was a bonus. This was our first Newmarket Holiday, and we’ll definitely use them again.
Beautiful Belfast! We just spent a three-day organised trip with Newmarket Holidays. The itinerary tour itself was fantastic but it was made to be an even better experience because of the attention to detail by the tour guide Louise and the bus driver called Charlie. Highly recommended.

There is no denying that a shared experience is a happier one, especially when travelling. Whether it’s a shared sunset over the African bush, a shared gelato near the Trevi Fountain or the first shared sighting of an Indian Bengal tiger through a densely packed jungle, that feeling of connection and mutual appreciation is truly unmatched.
This very special safari holiday features an all-inclusive six-night stay at a luxury tented safari by the Kruger National Park.
