You may always use a Travel Agent and value the specialism they bring to your plans or have never used a Travel Agent in the past and usually DIY your family plans. Whilst the internet has provided an easy way to book and travel, there are elements which only a Travel Agent can provide, including expertise, knowledge and support, which we deep dive into below.


  1. Expertise

With decades of experience in planning intricate family holidays across the globe, we not only know what the best accomodation options are in different circumstances, we can advise what the best option is for your holiday based on your family’s needs.


Travel experts know the travel scene better than anyone, and at GG Travel is about utilising this knowledge and expertise to perfectly match your families individual needs for the best possible experiences.


As well as destination and location advice, we also go further than you possibly could online. We consider local knowledge, for example it’s hurricane season at the time you have looked at travelling - knowing this and accepting the possibility is very different to being unaware if simply booking online and not receiving this advice. From knowing what time of year is best to visit, what do locals recommend, any pre-booking needs for excursions or any cultural sensitivities you should know, that’s where our concierge service ensures you are prepared prior to travel.

If expertise is something you value, please get in touch.


2. Local Recommendations

Our customers tell us there is no easy equivalent for local recommendations, being their number 1 struggle when DIY planning their past holidays.


GG Travel is proud to be a member of the Independent Travel Experts. Providing access to hundreds of suppliers and partners, which in turn allows us to connect with people, with local knowledge, when planning bespoke itineraries for our clients. 

This means our customers get local knowledge built into our recommendations and itineraries, something even the internet cannot replicate. 


In addition to this, our travel concierge service include reserving the best experiences which match your family’s desires, not off the shelf options, securing local guides or top tips which might otherwise take lots of time researching yourself.

Our travel concierge service also includes options such as upgrades, priority reservations on activities or making travel a breeze with priority/VIP options in all aspects of your travel timeline. 

If you’d like to breeze your travel and know you have selections which match your family, please get in touch. 


3. Stress Free Experience

We know planning travel and all its intricacies can be stressful, not everyone’s idea of a hobby is meticulously planning options and gaining local insights. Whilst that is the passion of the GG Travel team, we know its not for everyone!


Our customers can rely on a stress free process right from the moment we speak until beyond the holiday.

Packing light for a two-week holiday may seem impossible, but with the right strategy, you can travel with just a carry-on. Here's how:


  1. Plan Your Outfits: Choose versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched. Stick to a color palette to make it easier.
  2. Pack Multi-Purpose Items: Bring clothing that serves more than one purpose, like a scarf that can double as a blanket or a dress that can be dressed up or down.
  3. Roll Your Clothes: Rolling not only saves space but also helps reduce wrinkles.
  4. Use Packing Cubes: These help organize your suitcase and compress your clothes.
  5. Limit Shoes: Bring just two or three pairs that are comfortable and versatile.


With these tips, you'll breeze through airports and have everything you need for a fantastic vacation.

Japan's cherry blossom season is a magical time when the country is blanketed in pink and white flowers. But timing your visit can be tricky. Here's when to go:


  • Tokyo and Kyoto: The blossoms usually peak between late March and early April. Check local forecasts as they can vary slightly each year.
  • Hokkaido: If you miss the main season, head north to Hokkaido, where the cherry blossoms bloom in late April to early May.
  • Night Viewing: Experience the blossoms illuminated at night, a practice known as "yozakura," in cities like Tokyo and Osaka.


Book your trip early, as this is one of the busiest times in Japan, but the breathtaking beauty of the cherry blossoms is worth the effort.
