MAJOR NATIONAL AWARDS
2010 -
Trailfinders has been voted 'Best Tour Operator' 2010 by Wanderlust readers.
An astonishing 627 companies were nominated in this category so we are hugely proud of this award. The recipe for success, according to voters, was simple: a genuine desire to find the right itinerary for each customer.
Yet again Trailfinders' has proved that our award winning service is the only choice for your next holiday, wherever you're planning to travel to.
2009 - Trailfinders is delighted to have been awarded an extremely impressive 89% in the Which? Holiday Survey 2009, as voted by over 500 of their online panel members. Scoring higher than our competitors, Trailfinders staff were commended by Which? members for their efficiency and the flexibility involved in compiling global itineraries.
Offering tailormade travel worldwide, just one category TF came out top in was beach resort breaks in the Which? Holiday Survey. Demonstrating that whilst we can still plan an a round the world tour, these days we are just as likely to be helping a client plan their honeymoon, put together a world cruise or discover India on a tailormade private tour.
The more detailed your travel plans, the more stressful it can become, so why risk organising it yourself - leave it to Trailfinders, the award winning travel experts.
