Warwick Travel

Having 1st asked Dave Pope, founder and senior Pope of Pope&Sons, to arrange a "dream holiday" for us 15 years ago, he has become our travel guru and go-to for all of our holiday needs. The conversation 15 years ago started with me asking Dave where he would recommend as a holiday destination - I knew that he was well-travelled and wanted to know where in the world would be his 1st choice. What I hadn't appreciated was that Dave would take the time to understand what I was really looking for. It seems obvious now, but I hadn't considered that what represents luxury and/or the ideal holiday to one person wouldn't necessarily be viewed the same way as another. Dave arranged to meet with me and discuss (over a beer!) what I hoped to get from my dream holiday. (If you're interested, he arranged for my wife and I to spend our 1st holiday together at The Datai, Langkawi, where we slept in a villa surrounded by tropical rainforest).
Since that 1st meeting and brilliant holiday, Dave has been involved in our travel experiences. In addition to the personal treatment (I've never felt like "just a customer"), Pope&Sons pride themselves on the lack of opening hours. I have tweeted Pope&Sons whilst on the West Coast of the US to ask for a recommendation of an itinerary for an impromptu day-trip to San Fransisco. Not only did I get an instant response (despite the 8 hours time difference); I was also introduced, via Twitter, to one of Dave's contacts in the City who offered to host us for "the best cocktails in town"). In summary, I cherish the time that I get to spend on holiday and don't like to leave anything to chance. Pope&Sons have always helped make that precious time filled with great memories.

Have used Dave several times now for holidays in Europe, the Caribbean and South East Asia. Dave is very knowledgeable, particularly in regard to SE Asia and has recommended consistently excellent hotels and destinations. We cannot recommend Dave highly enough.
