Holiday of a lifetime in Sri Lanka

Our holiday in Sri Lanka greatly exceeded our expectations, it was truly the holiday of a life time. Lesley-Ann used her great knowledge of the country to construct an itinerary for us which encompassed Sri Lanka's cultural heritage, its stunning tea country and its splendid coast line. Every detail worked perfectly and two fully packed weeks passed like clockwork. Thank you. – Andy and Karen

A Cultural Adventure in Japan

Hi Lesley-Ann,

We had an amazing trip. Thank you so much for being the catalyst to actually making our adventure to Japan actually happen. We crammed a lot into two weeks - all aided by flawless logistics.

The guides were very knowledgeable and polite. We enjoyed all the experiences. Tea with the Geiko and Maiko was a highlight as was seeing Mount Fuji in full sunshine, the Hiroshima Peace Museum and the food!

The properties were all good and in locations that meant everything was easily accessible.

We loved the country, the people, the food, the cleanliness, the transport and the culture. We will have to go back one day and see the rest of the country.

Thanks again for all the ideas, the planning and the organisation. – Avril and Brian

We were blown away by Chile

Lesley-Ann, we just wanted to say a huge thanks for creating a very memorable trip for us. We were blown away by Chile, the experiences you organised for us and the places we stayed. If the rest of that continent is anything like Chile then we have a lot of exploring to do with you! We were very sad to leave. Thanks again. –Jude & Bob

An amazing and varied tour

Lesley Ann has a fantastic knowledge of India, which she utilised to create an amazing and varied tour. Our hotels ranged from 5 star luxury former palaces to safari camps (don’t worry also luxurious) and boutique hotels, which were former private homes of India's aristocracy.

All our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and totally reliable. We enjoyed 24 days of roaming through India’s fantastic history without a hitch and both of us think it could easily be our best trip of all time. We can honestly say that we recommend Lesley Ann and La Concordia without hesitation. We will certainly be booking our next trip with her. – Stu and Sue

Stunning Sri Lanka

Our holiday to Sri Lanka was just brilliant - one of the best ever. Thank you for all your help, planning and guidance. – Nigel and Gill

Beaches and big cats in Kenya and Zanaibar

We just wanted to say thank you for arranging our family holiday. It met all our expectations and beyond! Indeed it was a once in a life time experience. The accommodation was great, brilliant locations and our guides were fantastic. – The Hodson Family

Canadian family adventure

Lesley-Ann has been organising our family’s summer holidays for the last few years. These usually involve some form of road trip and there’s been an eclectic mix from Yellowstone to Orlando and then this year, western Canada. Lesley-Ann provides a very efficient and personalised service, booking the full trip from start to finish including the wide variety of additional activities we do. This year’s Canada holiday was a varied trip of planes, boats and automobiles. An amazing journey of spectacular scenery and wildlife sightings (whales, bears, seals) in a variety of locations including the magnificent beaches and surf town of Tofino on Vancouver Island to the breath-taking mountains, rivers, lakes and waterfalls of the Rockies, concluding with the bobsleigh run at the Olympic Park in Calgary (The Cool Runnings track). Lesley-Ann has an extensive knowledge of most locations including the best hotels in these areas backed up by detailed research where necessary. She always has excellent suggestions for other activities you could do or places to visit along the way, but will always leave the final decision with you. I’m already looking forward to next year’s road trip wherever that may be and my discussions with Lesley-Ann about what we should do! – Ed and family

Costa Rican Adventure

What an incredible adventure! A huge thank you to Lesley-Ann for piecing together such a seamless, sumptuous, and thrilling 12 days in Costa Rica for our entire family. We had the perfect balance of adrenaline filled days and unworldly wildlife encounters alongside times for reflection, relaxation, and rest. With four children ranging from 19 to 6 years of age, we are a real challenge for any personal travel planner, but Lesley-Ann, using her own personal experiences and deep contemporary knowledge of all things Cost Rican, devised the perfect trip that catered for everyone’s dreams and desires – from white water rafting, zip-lining and horse riding to chocolate making, whale and dolphin watching and turtle hatching, the whole family were wowed by the phenomenal range of activities Lesley-Ann conjured up. We couldn’t recommend a Lesley-Ann inspired and orchestrated holiday highly enough. All the stress taken away, all the fun put in! – Edward and family

Magical India

Our magical trip to the north and south of India was planned to perfection. Eight cities in just over 2 weeks felt seamless. Lesley-Ann’s attention to detail and knowledge helped to make every moment of our trip truly special. Thank you so much. – Rachel and Daniel

Multi-centre USA holiday

Your attention to detail and hotel and restaurant recommendations were invaluable. The flow of our trip was well balanced between staying in cities, sightseeing and relaxing. I would certainly recommend your services to others, especially anyone planning a multi-centre holiday; it would have taken me a long time to arrange our trip without your help. – Mark and family

21st Birthday Holiday to India

It’s almost hard to put into words just what an incredible holiday Lesley-Ann arranged for us to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. Every single detail was considered, the hotels that were recommended were perfect - each had its own wonderful style and the quality of service was second to none. The brief that we provided was vague - simply we wanted to visit India, see the Tigers and find time to relax before returning home.....but it had to be the trip of a lifetime, creating special memories to last! Lesley-Ann has such extensive knowledge and it was clear that she cared deeply that our holiday lived up to expectations. What blew us away was the thoughtful personal touches and surprises along the way and we knew that the entire team who were involved in looking after us had been well briefed to ensure that we had the best possible time.

This is the second time that Lesley-Ann has arranged a trip for me and I have already recommended her to a number of friends. There is no one else that I would choose and I look forward to planning many more special trips with La Concordia. Thank you. – Caroline and Evie

The best personal service

Lesley Ann took our basic ideas for an itinerary and translated them into a supremely well organised sweep around Myanmar and Malaysia with the odd detour into Thailand for particular sites. She has abundant knowledge about accommodation and travel itineraries and took great care in designing our trip. It is the kind of personal service you expect but rarely get. – Richard and Hilary

Wonderful Family Holiday in South Africa

Lesley-Ann created a magical last minute two week tour of South Africa over the festive period. Thanks to her amazing local knowledge, from the best places to stay and dine and picking the best guides and drivers, we had the most memorable trip that the whole family loved and will never forget. We would challenge anyone to try and beat her attention to detail to create a personalised trip that meets the exact requirements we asked for. Thank you so much! – Paresh, Lisa, Marco & Milan xxx

Amazing trip to Colombia and Panama

We just wanted to write to you to thank you so much for planning such an amazing trip to Colombia and Panama for us all!! It was organised to perfection and we had THE best time. We loved every minute from the hotels to the tours. A truly memorable and personalised holiday. We can’t thank you enough for making it the holiday of a lifetime. Will be in touch soon to start planning our next trip!!! Thanks again. – Vicky, Richard, Vicky and Simon Xx

A Honeymoon to Asia

“We are just at the airport about to fly home and we cannot say thank you enough for everything. This has been the most unbelievable honeymoon and everything you planned for us has been incredible. All the logistics have been perfect and it has all been planned so well by you. We really appreciate the fact we were able to fit so much in, but still experience both countries. We feel like you made us the most perfect itinerary. We are already discussing where we want to ask you to help us go next!” – Benjy and Natalie x

A perfect trip to Peru

Wow - what can we say, what an amazing trip we had!!! Thank you so much for the organisation and planning, all the activities we did we’re phenomenal and everything went perfectly. Marco our guide for 6 days of the trip was amazing and great company. Also, it took us about 3 hours in all for Wayna Picchu, with plenty of time at the top for photos but it was very steep! Definitely glad we chose to do that walk though :) Thanks again Lesley-Ann, massively appreciate everything and couldn’t speak highly enough of Peru and the trip you organised. We had the most fantastic holiday! – Will and Ellie

A Balinese Honeymoon

Dear Lesley-Ann, Many thanks for your amazing work on creating the perfect honeymoon for Grace and I. Without your help we would have had a particularly stressful couple of weeks before the wedding. You have our endless thanks. – Billy and Grace

Mother and daughter cultural trip to Jordan

We are safely home after the most amazing, memorable and valuable trip. We loved every moment of a very beautiful and fascinating country with the most charming people. We really appreciate your help putting together such a prefect program for us. Here’s to many more adventures....! – Roisin and Niamh

Sensational South East Asia Trip

We wanted an amazing holiday to celebrate Kevin’s 50th Birthday, but we wanted an adventure at the same time. We had already thought that our selection of Vietnam as a destination was adventurous……..but then, in came Lesley-Ann!! She widened the holiday to add on cultural Cambodia and contemporary Singapore. My goodness what a sensational time we had! Lesley-Ann’s connections abroad and meticulous planning ensured a seamless holiday experience. Her knowledge of our destinations was vast and her passion for travel was contagious. We went on activities that we would have never considered trying had it not been for her enthusiasm, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We even went on an amazing Vespa tour in Saigon! Lesley-Ann found us huge savings on our business class flights and gave us various choices of hotel to suit our budget. We considered the holiday first class and excellent value for money. If you have a special holiday to plan and you want it to be superb, then we can’t recommend Lesley-Ann highly enough. It was a ‘5 star’ ‘AA’ experience. We can’t wait to use Lesley-Ann again! – Sally and Kevin

An Unforgettable Trip

Lesley-Ann never fails to come up with a truly outstanding holiday option for whatever occasion. We have used her many times to help source amazing locations and every time the outcome has been an unforgettable trip. – Paul

Breath Taking Experiences and Memories

Our first experience of using la Concordia and what a great experience it was. Our initial instructions to Lesley-Ann were somewhat vague i.e. we wanted to visit Vietnam and Cambodia. Lesley-Ann quickly teased out what was important to us. The result was an action packed experience of top hotels, some great local private trips and a host of memorable and fun experiences. We were the envy of many other holiday makers we met on our travels as we had a “Silver service” breakfast served on a tuk tuk at the temples in Cambodia, after a very early start. An evening Vespa trip around Saigon (we are so glad Lesley-Ann persuaded us to do it). Witnessed local ladies rowing 4 bicycles and two of our friends (who joined us for part of the trip) across a river on a sampan to enable us to complete our self-guided bicycle tour. Had elderly ladies in the markets in the North Vietnamese countryside rushing out to pat Bill's stomach for good luck as he cycled past, as they believed he was a happy Buddha! We would strongly recommend Lesley-Ann and we have just started to plan our next trip with her. – Bill and Carol

Every trip a unique experience

Lesley-Ann has organised a few trips for us over the past year and everyone has been a unique experience. She has a great knowledge of any area we have been to and on our last trip to Canada I had the misfortune to suffer an injury that meant we had to quickly change our itinerary. I was unable to get in touch with her as I was the injured party, but my husband sent her an email and within an hour or so she had made all the necessary contacts to make the changes we needed efficiently and with the minimum of fuss. I’ll be getting in touch again shortly to begin making plans for next year’s adventures! – Kathleen

Californian road trip

Our trip to California really has been the most fantastic holiday. We all absolutely loved every place we have been to - each one so different from the last. Everything ran like clockwork, all the bookings and payments were spot on.... and the folder was immaculately put together! Thank you for organising the most wonderful family holiday. – Mike, Trudie and the girls

Cruising around the Galapagos Islands

Lesley-Ann, thank you for an incredible family holiday of a lifetime in Ecuador and cruising around the Galapagos Islands and for making the impossible, possible. All three of us had the most awesome time and we can’t thank you enough! – Jane, Chris and Elouisa

An Australian Adventure

Thank you to our amazing travel angel for making our “holiday of a lifetime” dream come true and for giving us lifelong memories of a special time together xx. – Pip, Henry and Will

First family safari and Mauritius

Our holiday was absolutely brilliant and we all loved both our safari and Mauritius. Having the private safari experience at Little Madiwke was certainly the best way to do our first safari and we were definitely spoilt! We can’t thank you enough for giving us the ideas and doing everything to ensure we had an amazing time. We would definitely recommend you and have no hesitation in using you again! – Rachel, James, Katie and Ben
