What Our Travellers Say
Real experiences from guests who have explored the world with us.
“Without question the most seamless holiday we’ve ever experienced. Every hotel, every transfer, and every tour was thoughtfully arranged from start to finish. We were able to relax and truly enjoy the journey knowing every detail had already been taken care of.”
— Margaret Thompson
Our Nashville trip was truly an experience we will never forget. Chris Watson was absolutely amazing from start to finish. His knowledge, organisation, communication and genuine care for everyone on the tour made the whole trip so special. Travelling to Nashville with my sister and getting to experience Alan Jackson’s farewell concert was already a dream come true, but Chris made it even better. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was looked after, included and having a great time. By the end of the trip, our tour group honestly felt more like family than a group of travellers. There were so many laughs, wonderful memories and special moments that my sister and I will treasure forever. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. Thank you, Chris, for an absolutely unforgettable Nashville adventure and for being such a wonderful part of it. We would travel with you again in a heartbeat!
— Amee Hobday
My trip with Chris Watson Travel has definitely been one of the best experiences of my life. The included extras, the once in a lifetime experience and the friendships formed will last a lifetime. I would 100% recommend travelling with Chris and his team, so experienced, knowledgeable and welcoming. He and his team make you feel like old friends.
