ANGELA PIRIE With a background in group travel and product research, Ange is dedicated to ensuring that your journey is personalised and exceeds expectations. Having travelled to many inspiring destinations, Ange’s knowledge of Africa is second- to-none. A few of her highlights have been hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, swimming with dolphins in Zanzibar, and on a recent trip to Myanmar, e-biking around the temples of Bagan.

CHRIS LYONS Chris started his travelling career in the mid 1970’s, spending over a year travelling Central and South America, a part of the world for which he has a real passion, and a region he returns to regularly. Fascinated with history and archaeology, Chris has delighted in exploring historical treasures including Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, and the Persepolis ruins. Many years of hosting tours means Chris has a real understanding of the needs of every traveller.

BRETT BARCLAY Brett has visited over 100 countries but the bucket list keeps growing! Highlights include being in the Rio Carnival, exploring West Africa, and being immersed in Japanese culture in ryokans (traditional inns). Brett is an avid cruiser, a rail buff, and a huge fan of family travel (as his son can testify!). Latest adventures include Ethiopia, “One of the most fascinating countries I have ever been to”, an expedition cruise to Antarctica, and meeting the mountain gorillas of Uganda.

KATE COULING With a 12-month OE that somehow stretched out to 12 years, Kate has a particular passion for the history, people, and culture of North Africa and the Middle East, even choosing to live in the region long enough to learn Arabic. However, she is equally content getting lost in the alleys of Venice Island, chatting to child monks in Bhutan, or checking in to the Manor Houses of Ireland. If travel is a bug, Kate is delighted to have caught it.
