“Travel is about journeys, both within and without”

Ciao Travel’s forte is “no-fuss travel” with well composed itineraries, proposing interactive, enriching and fun experiences. As a boutique travel-agency, we choose not to promote cheap mainstream-travel deals, our focus is on listening to our clients and providing quality valued trips.

Culture, Art, History, Music, Food, Gardens, Nature and overall Well-Being, be it on Land or Sea.

All journeys are customised, comprehensive and inclusive of luxury essentials that are unique to each of our independent travellers or group’s wishes. Our knowledge of a destination, its culture and highlighted experiences can be introduced into your customised journey, along with any special interests.

Ciao Travel’s specialty destinations are Italy, Europe, Britain, Ireland and Australia, created by our in-depth personalised knowledge of living, working and travelling in each of these wonderful places. Our company has operated by word-of-mouth recommendations over many years, as our travellers have continued to enjoy the holidays created for them by our travel specialists and the wonderful people and places they have been introduced to through their unique itineraries.

Beyond is everywhere else in this captivating world; the exotic, the spectacular, the untouched, the vibrant, and the surprising; places like New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, the Americas and the list goes on; all places we love and have been fortunate to travel to by land, air or sea.

Environmental focus is the responsibility of everyone world-wide, and we encourage traveller’s to support tourism choices that are committed to treading lightly on our fragile planet, to ensure the existence of every living thing is protected for a sustaining and positive future.

What is Your Lure for Travel? 

Seeking a new destination and immersing in culture?

Plunging your taste buds into the local cuisine?

Purely connecting with nature?

“Travel to anywhere, is travel to somewhere. A place to broaden ones mind of cultural diversities and the understanding of life’s complexities, simplicities and wellbeing.”
