Independent Travel Consultant in Solihull
Your holiday deserves more than a search result. Personal travel advice, thoughtfully tailored to you — from family escapes to extraordinary experiences.
See the world differently.
I’m Gareth, your independent Personal Travel Consultant at Olton Travel, based in Solihull and helping clients throughout the UK.
Finding a holiday online isn’t difficult. Finding the right one can be. I take time to understand who’s travelling, what you want to feel when you’re away and what matters most to you.
I look beyond the headline price — comparing flight times, transfers, room configurations, facilities and guest reviews before recommending a holiday.
From your first enquiry through to your return, you’ll deal directly with me.
Holidays worth looking forward to.

Independent advice
Honest recommendations, even when a hotel isn’t right for you. I work with established providers including Jet2holidays, TUI and easyJet holidays, alongside specialist suppliers.
Details that matter
Two five-star hotels can offer very different holidays. I compare the practical details — from flights and transfers to board options and rooms — not just the headline price.
One point of contact
From planning and proposals to documents, reminders and support after booking, you deal with me personally rather than being passed between departments.
It starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch.
Tell me what matters
We’ll talk about who’s travelling, what you loved about previous holidays and what you’d rather avoid.
Your personal proposal
I’ll research suitable options and explain the differences. If something isn’t right, we refine the choices together.
Support throughout
When you decide to book, I’ll help with the arrangements, documents, reminders and practical details.
There’s no pressure to book. The decision stays with you.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between a travel agent and a Personal Travel Consultant?
Both can help you arrange a holiday. My approach as a Personal Travel Consultant is to take the time to understand what you’re looking for, research suitable options and explain my recommendations.
You’ll deal directly with me from your first enquiry through to your return, rather than being passed between different people.
Do you charge a fee for arranging holidays?
At present, I don’t charge a fee for my holiday planning and booking services. I earn commission from holiday suppliers when you book through Olton Travel.
I’ll explain what’s included in your proposal, along with any optional extras, so you can make an informed decision.
Can you help if I don’t know where to go yet?
Absolutely. You don’t need to have a destination in mind before getting in touch.
Tell me who’s travelling, what kind of holiday you’d like and what matters most to you. I’ll help narrow down the destinations and hotels that could suit you.
Do you help with family and multi-generational holidays?
Yes. I help plan holidays where different ages, room requirements and priorities all need to work together.
Understanding who’s actually travelling is an important part of finding the right fit.
Do you only help people in Solihull?
No. Olton Travel is based in Solihull, but I help clients throughout the UK.
You can deal with me personally by phone, WhatsApp or email wherever you’re based.
