Tailor-Made Holidays & Bespoke Itineraries
Let our experienced travel specialists create a holiday around you
Planning a holiday that’s yours
Your holiday should reflect the places you want to see, the things you enjoy and the way you like to travel. At Travel Tailors by Acklams, our experienced travel agents help bring those details together.
Whether you have a clear itinerary in mind or just the beginnings of an idea, we’ll listen to your plans and explore the options that suit your interests, preferences and budget.
From a family escape with a few personal touches to a carefully planned journey through several destinations, we can help you find the right combination of flights, accommodation, transport and experiences.
Speak to us by telephone, Facebook or through our website, or arrange a face-to-face appointment in Beverley, Anlaby or Hull.
Tailor-made holidays don’t have to be expensive. At Travel Tailors, we cater for all budgets, from great-value sunshine breaks to once-in-a-lifetime adventures. We’ll work with you to choose destinations, travel dates, accommodation and experiences that suit your budget and make the most of what matters to you.
Holidays tailored around you
A tailor-made holiday gives you more choice over how your trip comes together. You might want to combine a city break with time on the beach, explore a country by rail or visit several destinations in one journey.
We’ll help you consider the practical details as well as the possibilities, from sensible connections and travel times to choosing accommodation and allowing enough time to enjoy each stop.
We can help personalise:
Destinations: visit one place or combine several destinations.
Travel dates: explore options around your preferred dates and flexibility.
Accommodation: choose hotels, room types and board arrangements to suit you.
Flights and transport: consider departure airports, rail journeys, transfers and car hire.
Activities and experiences: include sightseeing, excursions and opportunities to explore.
The pace of your trip: balance busy days with time to relax.
Duration: spend longer in the places that interest you most.
Budget: prioritise the parts of your holiday that matter most to you.
The options available will depend on your destination, suppliers and travel dates. Our team will explain what can be adapted and help you compare the choices.
You can combine different ways of travelling in one holiday. Flights, scenic rail journeys, cruises and road trips can all form part of the same itinerary.
How your tailor-made holiday takes shape
We make planning a bespoke itinerary a conversation, with time to explore ideas and refine the details before you book.
1. Tell us what you have in mind
We’ll discuss where you might like to go, when you want to travel, who is coming and your budget. You don’t need to have every answer — we can help you find a starting point.
2. Explore our recommendations
We’ll look at suitable holiday companies and travel options, then talk you through our recommendations and the reasons behind them.
3. Refine the details
Together, we can review the route, accommodation, duration and experiences. We’ll explain the choices, availability and any changes to the price.
4. Bring your booking together
Once you’re happy with the arrangements, we’ll explain the booking details, payment requirements and applicable financial protection before confirming your holiday.
5. Stay in touch
Our service continues after you book. If you have questions about your arrangements or need help preparing for departure, you have a team you can contact.
You don’t need to choose a destination before speaking to us. Your interests, budget and the kind of experience you want can be the starting point for planning your holiday.

Our sample itineraries show the range of holidays we can help arrange, from adventures across Canada and Alaska to great-value sunshine escapes. Use them as a starting point, then speak to our team about your own plans, preferences and budget.
Five-Star Alaska Cruise & the Canadian Rockies
Combine the mountain scenery of Banff and Lake Louise with a journey aboard Rocky Mountaineer and a seven-night Alaska cruise. Discover an adventure bringing together spectacular landscapes, scenic rail travel and time exploring Alaska’s ports.
Explore Alaska & the Canadian Rockies
Canada’s Maple Leaf Trail & Niagara Falls
Experience the power of Niagara Falls before exploring Toronto, Ottawa, Québec City and Montréal. This escorted journey combines some of eastern Canada’s best-known sights with time to discover its waterfronts, historic streets and distinctive cities.
Explore Canada’s Maple Leaf Trail
Benidorm Summer Sun
Enjoy golden beaches, traditional tapas bars and lively evenings on Spain’s Costa Blanca. This seven-night bed-and-breakfast escape offers inspiration for a great-value sunshine holiday, with the same personal advice and attention we bring to every trip.
Some examples use organised tours or fixed departures, so the scope for changes varies. Our team can explain which elements are flexible and help you explore alternatives to suit your plans.
A personalised holiday doesn’t have to mean moving from place to place (unless of course, that’s what you prefer). A single hotel stay can be planned around your preferred flights, room type, board basis and activities.
