Unmatched personalisation with Once in a Lifetime Holidays tailor made trips

Tailor made holidays, also known as bespoke holidays, have become increasingly popular as more and more people seek a truly individualised travel experience. These holidays are tailor-made to suit your specific preferences, needs and budget, offering a level of customisation that cannot be matched by standard package holidays. You can tailor every aspect of your holiday, from flights and accommodation to tours and activities, ensuring you get precisely what you want from your trip.

In addition to giving you more control over your holiday, tailor-made holidays offer better value for money as you can choose what you want to pay for and avoid unnecessary extras. Overall, tailor-made holidays provide a unique and personalised travel experience perfect for those who wish to explore the world on their own terms.

Joan created a round the world holiday starting on the west coast of the USA before heading to New Zealand for a 6-week campervan adventure. We headed to the South Pacific for a desert island beach break and finished up in San Francisco for a city break - The trip was just over 8 weeks, and every detail was taken care of. We had a fantastic Once in a lifetime Holiday and couldn’t have arranged it without Joan’s expertise and knowledge.

We've discovered a gem in Once in a Lifetime Holidays - they offer a bespoke service that left us buzzing with the excitement of overseas adventure. Our brief was challenging and included trekking, jungles, mountain summits, rivers, scuba, diversity, adventure, and a little bit of luxury, grandeur, and exuberance. Boy, did they deliver - the trip was everything we dreamed of. Thank you so much for making our dream holiday happen. In the world of travel, you are our new BFF.

Once in a Lifetime Holidays planned our three-leg dream holiday to the Far East. Joan tailored our brief perfectly, creating a fluid and seamless journey, including four flights and six private transfers. Their 24/7 emergency service came in handy when disaster struck 6 hours before an internal flight with a doctor-ordered ‘no flying’ rule due to falling ill. Joan rescheduled flights and hotels at short notice, making a stressful situation manageable. We can’t thank her enough – first-class service on every count.
