Our inspiration for Bristol & Clifton members.

Welcome to the Authentic Travel Company where we believe it’s all about the experience. Travel isn’t just about where you go – it’s about how it makes you feel, the stories you bring home and the moments that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked.

We are a personalised travel service and every journey we create is tailored to your interests. Whether that’s exploring remote landscapes on an unforgettable expedition, discovering hidden cultural gems or sailing in style aboard a world-class luxury cruise, we design travel that is seamless, meaningful and completely individual.

In addition, we work with a specialist golf tour operator offering tailor made golf holidays to traditional destinations like Spain & Portugal as well as long haul destinations like Asia & South Africa. Trips can be hosted or Bristol & Clifton members can create their own group with a personalised itinerary with access to many famous courses around the world.

For more information please email Jane Middleton at jane@authentictravelcompany.com or call 07971 568165 to see what else is available and discuss your travel requirements.

Ideas will be updated regularly and are subject to availability. We will always ensure there is an Authentic surprise with each booking – after all, it is all about the experience.

A quick note from me, Jane

One of the things clients often say to me is that working with The Authentic Travel Company feels different from working with a typical travel agency.

And the truth is – it is.

When you get in touch, you won’t be speaking to a sales team or a call centre. There’s no automated system or pressure to book anything straight away. It’s simply me.

Very often the best trips begin with a relaxed conversation. Sometimes clients know exactly where they want to go. Sometimes they just have the beginning of an idea – a special anniversary, a family adventure, a long-awaited escape. You get the idea.

Wherever you are in the thinking process, you’re always welcome to pick up the phone and have a chat with me.

No hard sell. No obligation.

Sometimes we simply talk through ideas. Sometimes a conversation turns into an extraordinary journey.

But it always starts the same way: with a conversation.

If you’re starting to think about your next trip, I’d genuinely love to hear what you have in mind.

Jane
