Why settle for one Mediterranean island when you could discover three? From Sicily's historic towns and wonderful food to Sardinia's dazzling beaches and Corsica's dramatic mountains, this is island-hopping with a difference. When we think about Mediterranean holidays, most of us tend to choose one destination, find a lovely hotel and settle in for a week or two. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, at DG Travel, we rather like the idea of doing things a

Why settle for one Caribbean island when you can experience two? From Antigua's lively atmosphere and beautiful beaches to the secluded luxury and spectacular sailing waters of the British Virgin Islands, this is a combination I would thoroughly recommend. Over my many years working in travel, I've been fortunate enough to visit some extraordinary places, and the Caribbean has always held a particular appeal for me. I've visited Antigua, explored several of the British Virgin

From bear-watching in Canada to the ancient wonders of Egypt, culinary adventures in Vietnam and luxury African safaris, 2027 promises some remarkable travel experiences. As we approach the end of another year, thoughts inevitably turn to what the next one might bring. And, if you're anything like me, that usually includes wondering where in the world you might like to explore next. At DG Travel, we're already looking ahead to 2027, and there are some particularly exciting de

From Ferrari and Lamborghini to Maserati and Ducati, discover the birthplace of some of the world's most iconic motoring legends on a five-night Italian fly-drive holiday. Italy has given the world many wonderful things: extraordinary food, beautiful architecture, magnificent wines and, of course, some of the most desirable cars ever built. For anyone with even a passing interest in motoring, names such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Fiat conjure up images of Italian c

Forget the stars for a moment. Some of Europe's most memorable hotels are the ones that don't come with a five-star price tag. After nearly 40 years in the travel industry, I've learnt one very important lesson: a hotel's star rating doesn't necessarily tell you how good your holiday is going to be. Those who know me well will know that I love a nice hotel. I've been fortunate enough to stay in some wonderful properties over the years, from grand five-star establishments to t

Discover the heart and soul of American music on an unforgettable nine-day journey with Tauck. With the recent passing of Dolly Parton, one of my own all-time favorite country music artists, I've been reminded just how much music can connect us to places, people and memories. For those who grew up listening to Dolly, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash or the great blues and jazz musicians of America's Deep South, this wonderful journey with Tauck could be something of a musical pilgr

Imagine sailing through the heart of the Netherlands in spring, past colourful tulip fields, historic windmills and picturesque towns, without having to unpack your suitcase every few days. There are some destinations that are particularly special at certain times of the year, and the Netherlands in spring is undoubtedly one of them. At DG Travel, we're often asked about holidays that offer something a little different from the traditional sunshine escape. River cruising is o

Some holidays are about relaxation. Others are about experiences that stay with you for the rest of your life. Travel has changed enormously over the past few decades. Destinations that once seemed almost impossible to reach are now accessible to travellers looking for something a little more adventurous, unusual and, above all, memorable. At DG Travel, we're finding that more and more clients are looking for what the industry calls experience-led travel. Now, there's absolut

Australia is a destination that deserves to be explored properly. And with a country this vast, a little expert planning goes a very long way. Australia has always been one of our most popular long-haul destinations at DG Travel. Over the years, we've arranged holidays to just about every corner of the country, from its vibrant cities and beautiful coastlines to its remote outback communities and extraordinary natural landscapes. And one thing we've learnt is that there reall

Sometimes, the best journeys take you off the beaten track. At DG Travel, we're often asked about holidays that offer something a little different. Not everyone wants to fly to their destination, travel in a large group or spend their holiday following the crowds. Increasingly, our clients are looking for smaller groups, interesting itineraries, beautiful destinations and the opportunity to really get to know the places they visit. That's why we'd like to introduce you to Bac

You can often tell quite a lot about a hotel from the things its people choose to talk about first. When the team at Carlisle Bay recently shared more about the resort with us, they didn’t begin with the number of suites, the size of the swimming pool or a long list of five-star facilities. They talked about Goat Water fresh from the kitchen, rum punch as the bay turns coral at sunset, locally grown produce and a chef who knows the fishermen by name. And actually, that told u

El Retiro Park The weather during our recent visit to Madrid was, quite frankly, appalling. However, even several days of rain could not disguise what a wonderful city it is. As many of you will know, I have travelled extensively since starting my career in travel since the 1980s. Yet one major European city had somehow escaped me: Madrid, the capital of Spain. We stayed for three nights and were genuinely impressed. Compared with many other European capitals, Madrid feels re

When most people start thinking about a winter escape, their minds naturally drift towards the Canary Islands or the Caribbean. But for those looking for something a little different, Asia offers an incredible mix of warm weather, fascinating cultures, outstanding wildlife and unforgettable experiences. At DG Travel, we've seen growing interest from clients wanting holidays that go beyond simply relaxing on a beach. They want to immerse themselves in a destination, discover n

There is something different about July. The evenings are longer, the schools are preparing to break up, airports are getting busier, and for many people, thoughts turn from "we really should book something" to "where are we actually going?" At DG Travel, the last few weeks have been incredibly busy. We've been arranging everything from family adventures in Thailand and Australia to luxury rail journeys through Southern Africa, city breaks in Europe, cruises, honeymoons and t

South Korea offers a captivating blend of the exotic and the familiar — a destination that feels both intriguingly different and warmly accessible. For travellers drawn to ancient culture, scenic landscapes, and unforgettable cuisine, a journey here truly ticks every box. Better still, it remains one of the most compelling and surprisingly affordable destinations in the Far East. What makes South Korea so unique is its striking contrast between past and present. In the heart
