Welcome to Designer Travel by Helen Hollinshead

Hello! I’m Helen , your personal travel enthusiast, group holiday fan, and all-around lover of adventure.

Travel isn’t just my job, it’s my absolute passion. I’m especially drawn to the beauty and culture of Greece, a country that has truly stolen my heart. From island hopping under the sun to discovering tucked away villages. It’s a place I return to again and again. I love sharing this passion with my clients and helping them fall in love with Greece too. But wherever in the world you‘re dreaming of, I’m here to help bring it to life.

What I Love

I love helping people discover the joy of group travel, whether it’s relaxed small group tours, fun and sociable 18–35s holidays, or thoughtfully arranged solo group trips for people who want great company while exploring the world.

I also have a big passion for activity and wellness holidays. Think sunrise yoga on the beach, creative art and pottery retreats, cooking classes in sun-soaked villages, or energetic hiking, cycling, and sailing holidays, the kind of experiences that leave you feeling alive, inspired, and refreshed.

And as a mum who‘s raised a family, I know how special family holidays are. I’ve been there myself, and I love helping other families plan trips that are exciting, smooth-running, and full of magical memories for every age.
