Luxury tailor-made holidays from Original Travel
At Original Travel we believe that life is in the detail
Northern Lights
Swedish Lapland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, the extraordinary natural light show that occurs in the depths of winter.
Amalfi Coast, Capri & Rome
Italy has more UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other country on the planet, the food is mouth wateringly good, and the landscapes are varied...
Porto & the Douro Valley
The Brits have long had a penchant for port, but the vineyards where the fortified wine is created and the eponymous city of Porto are, in themselves, a delight.
Peru
The scenery is striking in its diversity, from plunging canyons to soaring mountains, lush rainforests to arid Altiplano.
Family South Africa
Malaria free, easy to get to and home to some of Africa's best family-friendly hotels. It doesn't get much better for a family safari.
Morocco
Morocco is an immediate and exciting immersion in another world, where Arab and Berber blood, history and culture are inextricably bound.
Norway
Who needs Canada when you've got big country and polar bears on your European doorstep?
Hotels We Love
Pop quiz – what’s the first thing that springs to mind when you hear the word holiday?
Ultimate Tanzania
Tanzania is a country so full of diverse and fantastical scenery that it can be almost impossible to select just one or two destinations to visit....
Where to go
Explore the world to find the destination of your choice.
Wine Tasting in Bordeaux
We love a city that's recovered its mojo, and Bordeaux has most certainly done so. The grand 18th-century boulevards and buildings - paid for by the proceeds of the wine industry - spent decades down at heel until a recent sense of urban renewal lured young entrepreneurs back. Now, with the…
Rome vs Florence: The Battle of the Italian Cities
The days of the Grand Tour may have passed, but 60 million people visited Italy in 2017, and you can bet that a significant chunk of them (according to a very scientific straw poll at Original Travel HQ) went to Florence or Rome, or both. Since both cities are prime Big Short Break territory…
Best Experiences in San Francisco
At first glance Frisco is a city without a clear narrative, swinging from late 19th Century Gold Rush greed to flowers in your hair hippie free love and now home to techpreneurs from Twitter to Instagram. What's the common theme? An over-riding sense of what might be possible when groups of…
Authentic African Adventures
Authenticity: a perennially peddled promise which is rarely truly fulfilled. Yet authenticity is increasingly what we look for in our holiday experiences; the desire to feel like we've seen the real destination; that we've got beneath its skin and seen into its soul. Well, authenticity just…
Five of our Favourite Slow Travel Experiences
While in danger of sounding like an overly-cheesy Hollywood film, sometimes it's as much about the journey as it is the destination, especially when said journeys involve stunning scenery gradually unfurling before you while you soak up local life. Oh yes, there's so much to be said for…
Capital Idea - the Best Capital Cities Around the World
Does your ideal holiday involve spending your days weaving through winding streets, coiffing coffee and local eats at hidden restaurants and immersing yourself in a completely new city? Then you've come to the right place. Here is our definitive list, which took much refining, of our…
Instagram Competition: Win a Stylish Holiday for Two in Egypt
Picture this. Five nights aboard a luxurious 19th century steamship, cruising in style down the Nile from Luxor to Aswan and visiting fascinating sites en route. Interested? Then read on…
A Day in the Life at Danai Beach Resort
Having recently returned from Greece's Danai Beach Resort, I can comfortably state that a day here can only be described as heaven on earth…
The Best of Mexico City
¡Bienvenido a Mexico City! Formerly known as DF (distrito federal) for the past two centuries, Mexico's capital changed its official name last year and is now known as Ciudad de Mexico (CDMX). Once centre of the Aztec Empire, latter day CDMX (catchier than one-time Tenochtitlan) sits gritty…
My Trip to Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Area: Hiking and The Highlands
When you think of Tanzania and its Ngorongoro Crater, which I've just returned from, I am sure that 92% (precise, expert figure here) of those who haven't been before would not immediately associate either with the Scottish Highlands. But believe it or not, the similarities are uncanny.…
Cambodia like a Local
The phrase 'like a local' is thrown around a lot in travel these days, and while it's a great concept, we tend to find it often comes without much backing from an actual local expert. Without blowing our own trumpet too much, this is where we'd like to think we differ.
Navigating Norway: Oslo to Bergen
Travelling around Norway from Oslo to Bergen is no mean feat; a landmass so speckled with mountains and fjords that everywhere you turn it's impossible not to be awed by the staggering and dramatic landscapes that surround you. And there are several modes of exploration available, from boats…
