What are Bespoke Travel Experiences?

Bespoke travel experiences have become more and more popular over the past 25 years. The holidays that people book (and how they book them) have moved away from the traditional package holidays booked through high-street travel agents, replaced by customisable online booking experiences. People have also become more interested in going on a holiday with the sole intention of having a truly unique experience to share with others. So, what are bespoke travel experiences? Why have they become so popular?

Bespoke travel experiences are holidays that are customised to meet your unique desires for a trip. This includes having input over the location, accommodation, activities, and the duration. A bespoke trip offers a tailor-made itinerary that promises a truly unique experience.

What is a Bespoke Travel Experience?

In recent years, people have become far more conscious of how they are spending their time and money. In 2019, 81% of all holidays were booked online, and websites like ‘Booking.com’ allow various customisation options to plan the perfect holiday on a budget. You can now decide which flight provider to travel with, which airport to travel from, what time you leave and return, what accommodation you stay in, and you can even add vehicle rental during your stay, all booked online. Holidaymakers are looking for good value for money, whilst still having an enjoyable and memorable trip. This is where bespoke travel enters the picture. To ensure that you will receive the best trip possible, every element of a bespoke experience can be tailored to meet your unique desires.

Whether you are looking for a one day personalised tour starting from Glasgow, or a multi-day adventure taking you to the stunning photography opportunities of the highlands, a bespoke experience can give you the unique travel experience you are looking for.

What Makes a Bespoke Experience So Special?

With a bespoke trip, you are not just paying for the trip itself; you are also paying for the ability to share a unique experience with others. For example, there are areas of Scotland that may not occur to the average tourist visiting the country. By arranging a bespoke experience with the help of a seasoned tour guide, you can plan the journey of a lifetime to some of the most remote and scenic areas of the country. This way, you will be going on a trip designed specifically for you.

Is a Bespoke Trip More Expensive?

Bespoke trips can sometimes be slightly more expensive than an off-the-shelf package holiday due to the extra service provided to deliver a memorable experience. The extra work associated with planning and making necessary bookings to create a tailor-made experience can increase the cost slightly. However, it is worth remembering that at the end of the experience you will be left with memories that no one else will have. When working with a trustworthy and reliable company, you can be sure that your money will be well spent, and put towards crafting the perfect holiday just for you.
