Gina Galvin
Designer Travel Expert
Since May 2025
Hi, I‘m Gina, a Professional Travel Expert based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, helping clients across the UK plan tailor-made holidays.
If you're looking for a personal travel expert to take the stress out of planning your next holiday, you've come to the right place. I specialise in creating tailor-made holidays, family adventures, luxury escapes, city breaks and multi-centre itineraries, all designed around you.
With a background in Art and Design, I've always been inspired by the beauty of the world. From incredible architecture and local cuisine to museums, landscapes and authentic cultural experiences, I believe travel should be about much more than simply reaching a destination.
Since becoming a mum, my passion for travel has grown even stronger. I love helping families create unforgettable memories together, introducing children to new cultures, experiences and destinations that broaden their horizons and inspire a lifelong love of travel.
As a Professional Travel Expert with Designer Travel, I combine meticulous research with first-hand knowledge to create holidays that are truly personal. I enjoy uncovering hidden gems, recommending unique experiences, and taking care of every detail, so you can relax knowing your trip has been carefully planned from start to finish.
I've recently planned and travelled to destinations including Corfu, Rhodes, Athens, Lefkada, Parga, Málaga, Marrakesh, Barcelona, Dubrovnik, Costa del Sol, Cologne, Paris, Monaco, Rome, Bologna, Lapland, Ski Destinations, Helsinki, Budapest, Sardinia, Canaries, Caribbean and destinations throughout the UK, as well as Honeymoons and Stag/Hen do's. Whether you're dreaming of a Greek island escape, an Italian road trip, a European city break, a cruise adventure or a sunshine holiday, I can help create the perfect itinerary.
My Favourite Travel Recommendations
- Experience the spectacular Orthodox Easter celebrations in Corfu Town.
- Visit southern Spain during the Summer Solstice and witness the incredible total solar eclipses in 2026 and 2027.
- Explore Italy on a tailor-made multi-centre road trip.
- Discover Greece during the vibrant 15 August celebrations (Dormition of the Virgin Mary).
- Wander Monaco's charming Old Town for a more authentic side of the principality.
- Lapland without the commercial expense? Book a Nordic Ski holiday and build your own Lapland experience
Destinations on My Bucket List
Japan, Sicily, Iceland, the Nordic countries and the stunning islands of French Polynesia are all high on my travel wish list—and I'm always researching new destinations to inspire my clients.
Whether you're planning a family holiday, couples' escape, honeymoon, group trip, luxury holiday, city break or once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I'll provide expert advice, personalised recommendations and support every step of the way.
I offer no-obligation quotes and a friendly, personal service from your first enquiry until you return home, and beyond. I'd love to help you plan your next unforgettable holiday.
