Rebecca Lavelle
Designer Travel Expert
Since January 2021
Hi, I’m Rebecca, your personal travel expert at Designer Travel.
Travel has played a huge part in my life for as long as I can remember, and with over 17 years of experience in the industry, I’ve turned a genuine passion into a career I absolutely love. I specialise in creating holidays that are completely tailored to you – your style of travel, your budget, your wish list and the memories you want to make.
Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury beach escape, a magical Lapland adventure, a family getaway, a multi-centre itinerary, a romantic city break or the bucket-list trip you’ve always wanted to do, I take care of every single detail. From hotels and flights to seat selection, airport hotels, lounges, parking, special assistance and excursions, you can rely on me to handle everything from start to finish.
I currently look after over 300 individual bookings travelling each year, with many of my clients returning to book with me time and time again – something I am incredibly proud of. The majority of my business is built through recommendations, and my repeat customers are a true testament to the high level of service, care and attention to detail I provide.
One thing my clients value most is that you always deal directly with me. There are no call centres, no long waiting times, and no passing you from person to person, just personal, friendly, knowledgeable support every step of the way. I genuinely care about getting everything right for you and making sure your booking experience feels easy, stress-free and enjoyable.

💜 Why Book With Me?
Booking with me means your holiday is not only planned with care but also fully financially protected.
• All holidays booked through Designer Travel are ABTA and ATOL bonded.
• You’re covered in the unlikely event of airline or supplier failure – protection you don’t get when booking online independently.
• You always receive one-to-one personal service with someone who knows your booking inside out.
• My service is completely free to use, with no hidden fees – you simply get personal support, expert advice and full financial protection at no extra cost.
• I go above and beyond to ensure your holiday feels special, memorable and perfectly tailored to you.
• With extensive destination knowledge and first-hand experience, I offer honest advice and recommendations you can trust.

✨ A Little More About Me
I’m passionate about helping people create their dream holidays but also about making the journey as easy and enjoyable as possible. My clients often tell me they book with me because they feel genuinely “looked after”, and that means everything to me.
I love what I do, and I’m here to make sure your next escape is planned with care, attention and excitement from the very first message.
Whenever you’re ready to start planning, I’d love to help.
