The Specialist Travel Consultancy (STC) is an independent, niche travel agency specialising in
family adventure holidays, as well as family-friendly wildlife watching holidays, safaris and activity holidays abroad. It also specialises in school expeditions.
FAMILY HOLIDAYS The STC was established in 2006 after identifying the need for a dedicated service to help parents and group leaders with the planning and arranging of adventurous and tailor-made holidays, educational tours and expeditions. Since then, it hasn't looked back, offering wholly independent advice and access to the best operators. Members of
The STC team can talk knowledgeably about travelling with children and the differences between each operator's approach, helping clients to compare itineraries, save time and properly prepare for the family holiday experience.
The STC can put together inspirational travel itineraries in over 140 countries worldwide, ranging from Iceland, Turkey, Egypt and Morocco to Kenya, China, India or Peru. Better yet, the service and advice is completely free.
FREE & INDEPENDENT ADVICE The STC site helps visitors to browse the destinations on offer and build up a picture of the service. There are separate areas of the site covering safety and responsible tourism, which are both high priorities for this company and rightly so. An area for Schools divides up the options by subject or activity such as biology, geography, history or expedition travel. A Holidays area covers areas such as escorted small group tours or Private Groups as well as Honeymoons, Trekking, Wildlife,
Winter Activity Holidays and many other specifications. Meanwhile, the Families area can help guide parents through holidays for Single Parents, 2-4 year olds, 5-12 year olds, teenagers and more. Begin your browsing here, then call
The STC for further information and free, independent advice on how to plan and book your trip.
TRAVEL INSURANCE Two brochures are available for download on the site.
The STC also offers on-line travel insurance in partnership with specialist Insurance Brokers Campbell Irvine, underwritten by the UK's largest travel insurer AXA Insurance (UK). Meanwhile, check out the blog for travel stories, news and additional information relating to the travel industry.
