Why Choose DG Travel?

Established in 2006, DG Travel is proud to be based in the beautiful riverside town of Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Between Darren, Jane, Maria, Sharon, and Jenny, we bring over 35 years of individual experience in planning and crafting incredible travel experiences. In a world where we’re told the internet is king, we know that nothing replaces the insight, expertise, and personal care of a knowledgeable travel professional. The internet might offer choices, but it doesn’t know what we know—and that makes all the difference.

Our passion is creating the perfect holiday for you. We love the process—from finding the ideal destination and accommodations to fine-tuning every detail. But what we love even more is hearing from our clients when they return, knowing that their trip was everything they hoped for—and more.

We have travelled extensively, covering almost every corner of the world. And for those rare destinations we haven’t personally visited, we have trusted industry contacts who have, ensuring that we always provide first-hand expertise.

Trust, Integrity, and Personal Service

Booking a holiday isn’t just a transaction—it’s an investment in experiences and memories. That’s why trust, integrity, and honesty are at the heart of what we do. Unlike many big online platforms, we believe in transparency and personalised service—giving you expert advice, ensuring the best value, and always looking out for those little extras that make a trip special.

Ever noticed that the couple next door at your hotel got a free room upgrade or a bottle of sparkling wine on arrival—while you didn’t? Chances are, they booked through an experienced travel agent. Over the years, we’ve built an extensive network of industry contacts, which means we can often arrange those thoughtful touches that enhance your trip.

Why Choose a Travel Expert Over the Internet?

In the 21st century, the internet may seem like the answer to everything—but when it comes to travel, it simply cannot compete with the personal attention and tailored recommendations we provide.

Once we’ve booked a couple of trips for you, we’ll get to know exactly what you like—from the type of room you prefer to how far you’re willing to travel, and even those small details that make a big difference. Many of our clients trust us so much that they simply send a quick email saying, "We need a break—where should we go?" And because we know them so well, we can suggest the perfect getaway without them lifting a finger.

If you feel like you’ve been missing out on service, experience, and expert guidance, and you’re ready to travel with confidence and ease, we’d love to help.

Get in touch today—we look forward to planning your next adventure!

Many thanks,

Darren, Jane, Maria, Sharon & Jenny
