ATOL and IATA bonding
We have an Air Travel Organiser’s License (ATOL - 6283) granted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). ATOL protects you from losing your money or being stranded abroad. It does this by carrying out checks on the tour operators and travel organisers it licenses, and requiring a financial guarantee called a bond, which is lodged with us. If a tour operator goes out of business, the CAA will make a refund to you, or if you're abroad, we'll arrange for you to finish your holiday and fly home. For further information please visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. The company is also a member and is bonded by the International Air Travel Association (IATA - 91257073), which allows us to issue tickets on our premises in Islington. All RTW airline tickets also include Schedule Airline Failure Insurance (SAFI) - which will be added to your invoice if scheduled airline flights are booked. RTW Travel insurance is strongly recommended at all times more

Customer Comments...

Dear Stuart

I would like to formally acknowledge the help and support that Geoff has provided during what I am sure you will agree has been a very trying time. We were due to leave last weekend on a holiday that we had to put on hold last year due to unforeseen circumstances. The events of last week left us disappointed like thousands of others but unlike many others we had Geoff keeping us advised and trying at every stage to sort things out. I have heard numerous complaints about travel agents/ tour operators but we have received a superior service from Geoff and felt that you should know. Give that man a pay rise - he has been a star !

Kindest regards
Lisa (London April 2010)


Hi Sanjay,
Just returned from our trip and thought I'd drop you a quick note to say
everything went very well with our flights and the airline managed not to lose
our luggage for once. Probably be in touch in a year or so to plan for 2012.
Thanks very much,
Dave (UK April 2010)


Dear Jarvis

Just to let you know the whole trip went off without any complications and all flights were perfectly arranged. Thank you for all your help and would certainly love to do it again in 2011.

Lee (UK April 2010)


Hi James,

Thanks Muchly. Like I said on the phone, thanks for your advice this morning, it was really helpful and I'm a lot happier!

Kind regards, Oliver (UK April 2010)


Thanks Geoff 
Managed to grab a last minute seat on the first flight out of Tokyo yesterday. Thanks very much for all of your help with our trip. We had a fantastic time and will certainly be using you in the future for our travels.
kind regards Trev & Steve (UK April 2010)
