About our new client: Simpson Travel
Simpson Travel (Simpson Travel 020 3642 8595 www.simpsontravel.com) is a privately owned Tour Operator specialising in villas and exclusively operated boutique hotels in Greece, Turkey, Corsica and Mallorca. It features a superb selection of handpicked properties, each of which has been selected for the quality of experience it offers. Properties range from romantic, individual cottages in wonderful settings to perfect family-friendly villas; from small, boutique hotels with exceptional service to top-of-the-range luxurious villas.
The company was established in 2003, yet its heritage predates this by many years. Chairman Graham Simpson, a veteran of the travel industry, built up the highly successful Simply Travel in the 1970s with his Greek wife Yianna. From humble beginnings in a flat in Chiswick, it grew to become one of the most respected independent travel companies of its time, renowned for offering authentic rather than ‘packaged’ holiday experiences, with carefully researched programmes, exceptional product knowledge and service.
