How we add value to your plans
As travel agents, we like to think of ourselves as your personal travel concierge!
Our job is not only to inspire and assist you in your research and preparations but also to support you at the destination. Also, we care for you and will be there when things do not go as planned… Whether you’re facing a medical emergency, dealing with a local strike, or a natural disaster, we can help you find alternative accommodation, transport and we’ll guide you in your dealings with insurance companies if you require.
Inspiration
We live and breathe travel. We constantly talk to operators locally and overseas about the latest experiences, events, trends and we share that knowledge with you.
We save you time
How much time have you spent comparing hotels or working out visa requirements? We do that day-in day-out and can advise you on how to get from A to B smoothly and safely.
Special deals
In most cases, we have access to deals that are just as good if not better than what you’ll find online. Try us and compare what you get for your money.
Concierge & Emergency Assistance
Need tickets to Wimbledon, delaying your return flight or facing an emergency situation? We are here for you. Contact us on the phone, email, or chat and we’ll sort you out.

I have used St Ives Travel for organising and booking many of my holidays over the past few years, and recently specifically with Emily. Due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Covid-19 and not being able to travel, we had to cancel two large overseas bookings we had made. This was very disappointing for us, however Emily made this process so smooth and trouble free for us, dealing with the cancellations/postponing of flights and hotels, so we didn't have to worry. I could not recommend her and the team at St Ives Travel enough!! We are truly grateful for the time and effort they put into making our experience easy!read more

I'm a single parent, and had to organise travel for myself and my children travelling overseas to the US. Given I don't travel often, I chose the aid of a travel agent to assist with tickets, connections, etc.At St Ives Travel, I was treated with the utmost courtesy, given advice for things I had not even considered, and the service did not end there.Throughout the holiday, I had someone to contact in case of anything, and they assisted in making the flights over and back the most comfortable possible.The best experience I could have hoped for, and looking forward to the next trip!read more

I assumed that going to a travel agent would be the best way to book a holiday but when booking a trip to the UK through Vietnam for my husband and myself the agent advise was wrong, we were told we didn’t need a visa during transit we did, we were told we needed a visa for our 2 day stop over, we were told this would have been provided by the Vietnam Airline also we didn’t have the room to use during our long stop over and the late check out on our way back. Not very impressive.read more

We have had nothing but complete satisfaction with St ives Travel over many years especially in our dealings with Adelina who provides excellent service. She has taken time to understand our travel preferences and many times offers up travel proposals that meet our expectations. Adelina is always a pleasure to deal with and at the same time is very thorough and highly reliable. We couldn't arrange our travel without her.John and Jenny Boughtonread more

St.Ives Travel have never let me down. I'm totally confident if I book a trip or flight it will be as ordered. I get back-up if things change and I trust my Personal consultant, Adelina Arancibia, in her professionalism, attention to details & commitment to my needs. Adelina crosses the "T"s & dots the "i"s in my travel plans.........if there is a better or cheaper alternative I am advised. Cruises are their specialty and I have enjoyed many. I have cruised 140 days, over 80 flights & visited 65 Countries, 650 Cities on 6 continents. I have seen Antarctica on a Holland America cruise which is the 7th continent. I have had upgrades & extra on-board incentives. I trust St. Ives Travel & in over 10 years and 20 tours I can recommend their personalised service and dedication to their customer's peace of mind and pleasurable travel experiences. I can't thank them enough!read more

I’m a Uni student in St ives and I booked my Europe tour with st ives travel. They knew everything about all the destinations and every little detail that may have caught me out if I didn’t see a travel agent. Would recommend booking here if your looking for well travelled and experienced consultants. Very happyread more

A travel agency normally lives and breathes flight bookings doesn't it and can do a quote in few seconds or minutes can't it?. I made a phone call Tuesday for a flights quote. Half a response with no options finally on Thursday. No further response by Saturday either to the other two flights requested or to a simple direct question regarding use of points.Pathetic. All I can think is maybe they don't make enough money off it so the service is rock bottom? Do you own - don't bother with this pathetic outfit!read more
