From the initial contact outlining how to get the best out of a holiday with a 16yr old girl and 14yr old boy, through to the final itinerary, we were very impressed with Blue Lizard Travel. A very personal service, helped by their extensive experience of our chosen destination (ok, they suggested that as well!), led to a fantastic holiday that fulfilled all our requirements. Even the kids were happy - that's a first! Would definitely use them again for the perfect tailor-made holiday

We have just returned from a great holiday to Bali. We had originally planned a trip to another destination but the weather wasn't great .Blue Lizard Travel were the first to be honest about weather and we were very grateful. We took their advice and went for a destination we had not really thought about before. Wow, what a good decision. They know this destination inside out, we stayed in 3 different areas, including a little known resort in the East. Blue Lizard Travel organised rafting trips, elephant rides, tubing (our kids loved it) and adventure buggy riding. Bali offered far more than we had expected. Our last 4 nights at The Samaya were well worth the extra money and although we went above our budget we are so glad we did. What a finish, thanks to a prefectly arranged itinerary. Blue Lizard Travel deserve all awards. Their unsurpassed knowledge and service will have us coming back. We highly recommend them. A Weller and family

I stumbled on Blue Lizard Travel quite by accident whilst planning a 'big birthday' trip to Australia for 2010 and punted off an email for more information - Chris was back to me immediately and he patiently worked with us for about three months getting the trip just right.
His knowledge of Oz was amazing and he pointed us in the direction of several options which we may not have considered ourselves - including a self drive around the Meereenie Loop in a 4 X 4 which was a highlight of the trip. During our month long trip we packed in Sydney, the Great Ocean Road, the Red Centre and Queensland. The trip was further enhanced by touches of hedonism included to maximise our experience - for example the Quay West Suites in Sydney with amazing 19th floor views of Sydney Bridge and the Opera House and the Stamford Plaza in Brisbane.
All arrangements were perfectly executed and the handling agents in Oz were fantastic - nothing was too much trouble.
We came back feeling that we still had unfinished business in Australia and were straight back on to Chris to sort out another month for us for this summer, this time in the Northern Territory and the Kimberleys - with that touch of luxury in Singapore at the end - can't wait. Again it took us at least three months to get the trip just right but it was never a problem - it's as important to Chris as it is to us as all he and his team want is for us to have the best possible experience.
We are already contemplating what to do in 2012 and will be on to Chris again soon to set the wheels in motion.
Can't recommend Blue Lizard enough - do not intend to go elsewhere. If you want a great bespoke experience give them a go - you won't be disappointed.

Chris & the team at Blue Lizard arranged for my wife and children to go to Barbados. With all three under six it was a daunting prospect but Chris new exactly what would suit us and the much needed holiday turned out to be superb. The resort, travel palns, hotel... all superb - even the Pina Colada's! The best thing I can say about Blue Lizard is with all their years of experience between them, they really understand what works & what doesn't... and what would best suit each individuals requirements. We couldn't recommend them enough. The Featherstone's

We have booked two holidays with Blue Lizard Travel - our honeymoon to Thailand in 2010 and our recent trip to Australia which we just got back from on Sunday 08 May.
We would definitely recommend the company to anyone. The knowledge of the destinations/flights/hotels and the value for money has been superb.
Emails always get answered and the staff/handlers have all been very professional and always on time.
We found out about the company through the glowing reviews of my parents who have organised two trips to Australia with Blue Lizard.
The difficulty is trying to work out where to go next. I'm sure Chris will have a few ideas for me.
Use this company and you won't be disappointed.

This was our first holiday organised by Blue Lizard Travel (Norwegian Fjord Cruise)and I must say that everything went like clockwork, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We would travel with them again.We had quite a complicated itinerary and if doing it again would fly from Gatwick instead of Heathrow but that was due to the ship we wanted sailing on a day when there wasn't a flight from Gatwick.

We have just booked our second holiday with this Tour Operator. They aren't one of the big players (yet) and really do provide friendly service. What is impressive is their destination and resort knowledge. You feel that the holiday you booked is just for you and our first experience was exactly this.
We found out about Blue Lizard Travel through word of mouth. Give them a try, we thoroughly recommend them.
