My first time using Mark Bratt Travel & will definitely be back for more.
There exceptional attention to detail when satisfying my requests were second to none.
They ticked all my boxes on every request & threw in some surprises.
Yes it will cost you a little more than your High street agent but they represent great value for money.

Mark Bratt Travel offers a superb, bespoke service and we were delighted with our road trip across Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans. In particular, the initial consultation to ensure your requirements are met was excellent and also included great suggestions to enhance our experience. These included the choice of hotels and the routes to take and where to have stop points. You can stay in touch with them 24/7 with the use of the app which is reassuring. I would definitely recommend using them.

We used mark bratt travel for our holiday to brazil and it was amazing from start to finish. Mark dealt with all of our flights, excursions, transfers and hotels so we did not have to and everything worked out on time and exactly what we were looking for! All the tour guides were phenomenal and the communication with mark was perfect. We wont be using anybody else for our future trips away!!

We've just returned from a fabulous two week trip and adventure to Vietnam and Cambodia. The itinerary was tailored by our dedicated Mark Bratt Travel consultant, based on our family requirements. The whole holiday has been an amazing experience made more memorable by a smooth and well planned schedule available at all times through our 'Trips Plans' App, which meant we could focus on the experience and not the the admin whilst we were on holiday.

Cannot thank Mark Bratt Travel enough for finding us the most perfect honeymoon location and hotel. Scott sent us a few ideas and all we had to do was pick our favourite - from that, everything was organised for us and the whole process was stress free and easy, we didnt have to think about anything. They went above and beyond to make our holiday so special. Once again, THANK YOU!

This is the second time we have booked with Mark Bratt Travel (MBT) following a brilliant trip to South Africa. We had such an amazing time, we completely trusted MBT to organise our next holiday…a trip to see the ancient ruins of Egypt.

When we approached MBT about Egypt, they were totally honest and said that they hadn’t sent anyone to these parts of Egypt before (Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel & Cairo) but were keen to do so. We had done plenty of research about the ancient sites and how best to see them so sent the team an interesting itinerary which was being offered by a larger corporate company and asked them to try and piece together something similar, with a more bespoke slant. After a few consultations, we had decided on the perfect holiday and booked it! A week before we were due to fly, we met with Scott who went through our itinerary step by step to ensure we felt as comfortable as possible. This is another great feature of MBT.

A few highlights of using MBT for this trip:

- Great choice of local travel agent, including the guides. MBT found the perfect guides for us through a great agency in Egypt. We had two guides throughout the trip and both were incredibly knowledgable and local to the area. In addition to this, they were warm, engaging and lovely people. This really made the trip an unforgettable experience for us.
- Itinerary - we spoke to quite a few groups throughout our time in Egypt and none had an itinerary quite like ours. The work done by Scott and the team to select the right flights for arrivals and departures meant we really maximised our time in Egypt and could see some ancient ruins that weren’t usually included in the package tours (I.e. Abu Simbel, Valley of the Queens), whilst still having enough free time to relax. The order of our events planned by MBT was also perfect as it didn’t clash with the larger group tours that also visit these parts of Egypt. We found our itinerary meant we could visit the main attractions at times when other groups were travelling to other sites or changing locations.
- Mobile app - this is a great addition to the MBT package. It contains all the information you need for your trip (tickets, dates, times, contacts, communication with the MBT team)
- Location and choice of hotels - MBT really listen to the “brief” provided by clients. This means they really understand what is important to their clients and work hard to match up their preferences to options available, that were always in line with budgetary constraints. For our Egypt trip, Scott got this spot on and our hotels were beautiful and in great locations for us to explore local areas and have convenient transfers.

We had a couple of hiccups with some practical aspects of the trip (miscommunications with hotels and Nile cruise company) but MBT (Scott especially) was quick to respond and worked his magic to sort out the issues so it didn’t impact our holiday.
However, even with these minor hiccups, the trip was a total success and is an experience we will never forget. We have yet to find an independent travel agent who is able to match, never mind go above, what MBT can offer. I’d highly recommend MBT and we will use them again for our next big trip.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Scott, our travel consultant was really thorough in his understanding of what we wanted and his consultative approach and wide knowledge were hugely appreciated given we were considering areas of the world we had never visited.

We were celebrating a special occasion and it was tricky for us to manage the fact that we wanted our first proper luxury holiday, but on a tight-ish budget. Scott worked really hard to secure us a great deal, and he put together the most memorable, awesome trip imaginable.

I would recommend Mark Bratt Travel 100%. They delivered the holiday of a lifetime, and I have them, and in particular Scott, to thank for us creating so many epic memories on the most wonderful trip.

Mark did a great job understanding what sort of holiday we were looking for. The hotel was excellent- fantastic breakfast, comfy beds, good size rooms, plenty of sun beds, spa, welcoming staff and we ate in the restaurant for dinner one evening and the food was amazing. Mark arranged two tours - TukTuk around Lisbon which was informative and lots of fun, and a jeep safari around sintra, stopping off to see some sights, have lunch and also go off road too. Great holiday, mix of relaxing and adventure- wish we’d gone for 10 nights as didn’t want to come home!
