Why Choose Us
- Tailor-made Travel
Regent Holidays has a totally flexible approach and tailor-make any holiday to suit your exact requirements. Our collection of suggested itineraries and group tours are just a few recommendations for experiencing the best that these fascinating destinations have to offer. Although, like many travellers, you may prefer to devise your own tailor-made trip. We offer privately guided tours designed to your interests and budget, accompanied by knowledgeable English-speaking guides.

We have been tailor-making tours for over 40 years and are passionate about creating inspirational travel experiences. Over the years we have developed very strong relationships with our hotel, tourism and airline partners, securing us an enviable reputation within the industry.
- Specialist Knowledge
Our Tours Managers are all extremely well-travelled and each has expert, first-hand knowledge of our range of holiday destinations. Many have lived or worked in their specialist areas and will happily share all their insider tips to delight and inspire and to ensure you really experience a country, rather than just visit it.
- Personal Service
Here at Regent Holidays, we pride ourselves on our high standards of personal service. It is our primary concern to ensure that from the moment you enquire about a holiday with us until you return home, you are in capable hands. We are dedicated to our customers' needs and will always go the extra mile to guarantee your complete satisfaction.
- Trust and Reliability
In addition to our 40+ years tour of operating experience, Regent Holidays has the secure backing of our parent company, Western and Oriental Limited and is a fully bonded and licensed tour operator. You can book with Regent Holidays in complete confidence, knowing that all monies paid to us are fully protected. All our air-inclusive holidays are protected by the licence that we hold with the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL).

- Financial Protection
ATOL
When you buy a holiday package from Regent Holidays, The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from this brochure and ensure that your money is refunded or that you are repatriated in the unlikely event of our insolvency (for all UK citizens, except residents of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man).
We are holders of Civil Aviation Authority ATOL licence 10417, which will protect any holiday package including a flight, except for residents of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, as described in the paragraph above. If the holiday you buy from us is an ATOL-protected air holiday package you will receive a Confirmation Invoice from us (or via our authorised agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser's Licence number 10417.
In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information visit the ATOL website.
ABTA
We are a Member of ABTA, membership number Y1152. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA's Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract. Further information on the Code and arbitration can be found on ABTA's website.
The arbitration scheme is arranged by ABTA and administered independently by IDRS, part of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. It provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences.
The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element.
The application for arbitration and Statement of Claim must be received by IDRS within nine months of the date of return from the holiday. Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if the company agrees, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement.
For injury and illness claims, you may like to use the ABTA/Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Mediation Procedure. This is a voluntary scheme and requires us to agree for mediation to go ahead. The aim is to help you resolve your dispute in a quick and cost effective way. Details on request or from www.abta.com.
All package holidays that you buy from us that do not include a flight or for other individual travel elements that you buy from us (eg accommodation only, car hire etc) are also protected with your security provided by way of a bond held by ABTA. Protection applies to all UK citizens , except residents of Channel Islands and Isle Of Man / or whose journey commences from these points.
