Her specialty however is all things Europe. This region is home to her favourite travel destination, Italy, which she says offers amazing history and architecture, beautiful scenery, friendly people and of course amazing food and wine.
She has a wealth of travel advice for those visiting Europe. For example, she often recommends her clients hire a bicycle for a day if they are travelling to Amsterdam, as she feels it is the best way to see the city and makes you feel like one of the locals.
Further east, she recalls a memorable holiday she organised for a couple going to Russia. “They had spent years saving for it and were lucky enough to be the only two on their Peregrine tour. They were treated like royalty the entire trip, were upgraded to a Palace suite in one of their stays and had so many extra special moments that would not have been possible in a larger group”, she says.
Testimonials
Throughout the entire process, our Travel Consultant Sam, was excellent. Her attention to detail, advice and support made the entire process easy. She went out of her way to accommodate our requests and come up with different options to choose. The end result was a very organised and customised Holiday for the entire family. We look forward to dealing with you again for our next Holiday. Thanks very much Sam!
After booking two trips with Sam, I would highly recommend visiting Travel Associates. Our first trip was a month overseas and Sam took the time to help us in planning all the details. Our second trip was a little closer to home and Sam provided us with excellent service and recommendations. Thank you. I will definitely be using Sam at Travel Associates again!
We used Sam and Ian for our travel and it went off with any issues at all. Communication from the team was excellent and I have no issues in referring Sam and ian to anyone.
What a remarkable team of professionals. Having booked several overseas holidays through Carswell and Turner Travel Associates over the years, I know I am guaranteed quality service and the best prices. Their genuine support prior to departure and during and the trip ensures I feel confident travelling with my family. The team, especially Sam, have assisted in planning amazing adventures leaving lasting memories.
Travel Associates were fantastic to deal with both when we had to cancel because of COVID 19 and also when we rebooked for 2023. They coordinated flights, a cruise, accommodation over a 14 week period in 5 different countries and did all this around us making our own booking around these as well. Everything ran so smoothly, every booking was there and ready to go when we turned up at the airport, hotel, boat etc. Thank you to Sam for all the time she put in towards making our holiday of a lifetime, just that.
