Meet Your Personal Holiday Expert – Mike Shinnors
Hello, I’m Mike Shinnors, and I’m delighted to be your personal Holiday Expert.
With many years of experience in the travel industry, I’m passionate not just about holidays, but about people. Providing a personalised service to each and every client is my top priority.
For me, it’s not just about travel or securing a booking – it’s about you. I take the time to listen, research thoroughly, and match you with the holiday that’s right for you. One size does not fit all – every traveller is unique, and I tailor every experience accordingly.
My motto:
“Cheapest is seldom the best value.”
Sometimes spending a little extra can make the difference between a good holiday and a truly great one. I’ll help guide you, but the final decision is always yours.
What I Offer:
Tailor-made holidays – from long-haul adventures to relaxing sun getaways
City breaks, group bookings, and honeymoons
Cruise holidays – both ocean and river, with all the major cruise lines
Fully licensed and bonded home-based travel service
Flexible, friendly service – including out-of-hours appointments by arrangement
I have access to powerful systems that let me search hundreds of suppliers for flights, accommodation, car hire, attractions and more. This means I can offer you the best possible options to suit your preferences and budget.
I’m proud to say that most of my business comes from repeat clients and word-of-mouth recommendations – and I truly value each and every one of them.
Get in Touch
I’d love to help plan your next trip. You can contact me in whatever way suits you best. Once we connect, we can arrange a chat – in person or by phone – so I can really understand what you’re looking for. If you prefer messaging or email, that’s fine too.
I’m also happy to arrange appointments outside regular hours, with a little notice.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
Mike Shinnors
