Why book a holiday with us
We are a small independent company and because of that each and every booking is very important to us. We want every client to have the best holiday possible which means you receive a very personal service. You are not just another number in a sales target.

A truly bespoke service.
When we create our itineraries we listen to you throughout the entire process. We don’t have any set trips or itineraries, simply suggestions, and we can amend your trip as many times as you like prior to confirming everything to make sure you get the holiday you want.
Our contacts are second to none.
We have built up a fantastic array of luxury travel contacts throughout the world and we use this to our advantage to obtain exclusive access to properties and experiences plus free hotel upgrades wherever possible. The suppliers we use are friends as well as colleagues.
You are fully protected.
We are ATOL bonded and members of the Travel Trust Association providing full financial protection for your holiday. Our ATOL number is 12237.

Who we work with
– companies and suppliers that we know and trust
To ensure you have the best possible holiday we only work with companies and suppliers that we know and trust. Because of the close relationships we have established, we are able to guarantee that the services we offer are of the highest quality.
Our network of contacts enables us to guarantee that if something goes wrong on your holiday there are people close at hand to resolve any issues straight away which is not always so easy to do independently, especially if your language is limited. To put your mind further at ease, when you book with us, we will provide you with a 24/7 emergency number allowing us to help out if any real problems arise.
Due to the number of destinations we offer, it is impossible for us to have personally inspected all the hotels we recommend, however the colleagues we work with have done and we are working on doing so ourselves! You can therefore trust our recommendations; after all, trust is such an important aspect when booking your holiday.
All the guides we use are fluent in English, and the majority of transfers we offer will feature an English speaking driver where possible.
Humboldt Travel and our suppliers always aim to provide you with an exceptional service to make your holiday a memorable one.
Our style
– LOCALLY OWNED, SUSTAINABLE, BOUTIQUE HOTELS
Where possible, we try and recommend locally owned hotels rather than international chains. You will see from our sample itineraries that many of these are boutique style properties offering a real charm and the sort of attention to detail for which we aim.
We also prefer to recommend hotels which do not negatively impact on their environment. There are a number of hotels at the forefront of sustainability projects creating environmentally low impact properties which mould into their surroundings.

Our Background
Humboldt Travel is a small family business, owned by Simon and Kirsty Williams. The small size of the company means that you receive a very individual service which we are proud of. Humboldt started life as Bespoke Brazil, established in 2011 by director Simon. The company has since grown from the roots of Bespoke Brazil, expanding to offer more countries in Latin America and then Asia and Africa.
Humboldt Travel creates tailor-made holidays to some of the most vibrant and exciting parts of the world, incorporating luxury accommodation and exceptional service. We are passionate about the countries we sell, and we work hard to create the holiday of a lifetime for each of our customers by finding out your requirements and building a holiday around these.
