My favourite holiday memories

  • North Korea
    North Korea Torin Wilson

    Arirang Mass Games in Pyongyang. The biggest show on earth with around 100,000 people participating to a nightly audience of over 100,000 people. The screen in the background is actually 30,000 people holding signs they change over with such precision you would think it is a TV screen. 

  • Egypt

    The detail in the hieroglyphics was incredible, even more amazing than all the other wonderful sights Egypt has. 

  • Myanmar

    I spent an afternoon just travelling on the loop line. A really great relaxing way to go around the outskirts and through central Yangon. 

  • Hungary

    Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest, next to a huge city park and the famous Baths. I have a photograph of my grandparents as a young boy in Budapest in the early 1930s with the same backdrop - the light poles and car boats are new! An amazing bit of history among a really nice gentle but rewarding walk. 

  • Cuba

    After spending the day being shown around Santiago de Cuba with my taxi driver, we went up the hills to look back down over the area. Here we shared a couple of beers and some plantain chips. He spoke no English and I spoke no Spanish but somehow we had a great conversation!

  • North Korea, Ukraine, Chernobyl
    Weird and Wonderful Torin Wilson

    The weird and wonderful - I like to travel to places where I often get asked 'why'? Such as North Korea and Ukraine to Chernobyl. 

  • Asia

What my customers have to say

  • Torin has been wonderful to deal with. With him, I’ve planned a museum/history trip renting a Tesla and driving across California/Nevada/Arizona, flying into Washington DC, and a train to New York City. Then visiting a friend in London, a friend taking me all across Ireland, and a stop in Singapore on the way home. I had gotten the run around from another travel agent, with long periods waiting for them to reply, or send updates. I was sick of waiting, asking for updates….and then being subsequently forgotten about. House of Travel High Street Lanes came highly recommended, so I gave them a chance. I’m glad I did! Torin was glad to book an initial appointment. I since had two further face to face catch-ups, and all the way through he has stayed in touch by email. I feel Torin listened to my travel plans, and took my interests into account. Some of his hotel knowledge in particular has been fantastic. He has situated me near hidden gems that showed he’d really listened to my ideas and hobbies. One particular example, choosing New York City’s Moxy Hotel near Time Square. It is not only close to many places a NYC visitor would enjoy, but also very near the hotel where inventor Nikola Tesla passed away. It’s a historic spot for nerds like myself :-) Torin knows a lot about aviation history, and I feel he really “gets” both his industry, and what an overseas traveller is looking for. Thank you Torin, you’ve been a great mate helping with my dream holiday :-)
