Arranging your holiday online used to be liberating. Now it feels like a tyranny of choice, so onerous you need a holiday from the act of booking it. So why not try a travel concierge service to take the strain out of your holiday?

The Luxury Travel Book is a family run business founded in 2012. It offers bespoke travel itineraries, with all the benefits of a luxury hotel stay with the privacy of your own place. The team have taken the trouble to find out the best places to visit in the local area, from the top restaurants to local attractions. If you want a spa treatment, a yoga instructor, a personal chef, a chartered yacht, or even a private jet or helicopter charter, they’re there to book it for you.
