Actions Speak Louder Than Words

  • We investigate how employees and local people are treated
  • We preferentially choose local and/or ethical suppliers and partners
  • We ensure all parties receive a fair deal
  • We take non-financial costs into consideration
  • We investigate where profit goes at all points in the supply chain

Not Your Standard Package Holiday

The Tide Has Turned is a new hybrid creation, part travel agent, part tour operator, designed to help independent travellers balance the needs of the planet with their desire to travel.

Wholly Unbiased Travel Organising

To ensure complete objectivity, we don’t retain commissions from suppliers to pay for our service to you. A bespoke service can only act in your best interest if it remains unbiased.

Ethical Company logoThe UK’s First Travel-Related Ethical Company

We help you travel in an ethically-minded way and we manage our own business following broad ethical principles; this approach has won us Ethical Company Accreditation.

Beyond Offsetting

With our holistic approach we don’t simply offset your carbon footprint. We go all the way.

Peace of Mind

You also benefit from Planet Earth travel insurance cover. Taken together, these arrangements provide arguably the best financial protection available.

Read All About It

If you’re unsure about where to go or what to do, feel free to come in and consult our travel library of guides, picture books, novels and maps. There’s nothing as inspiring as good read.

Created for Independent Travellers –
Affordable to All

Bespoke travel does not have to cost any more than an off-the-shelf brochure holiday. We can work to any budget and it won’t cost the earth.

Transparent, Innovative and Fair Pricing
We charge a fee for our service and offer you exactly what you want.
At the end of the day, if it does earn a commission you get it, not us.

Do you have any unwanted travel books lying around that are looking for a good home? We adopt unwanted books and put them to good use. Please bring yours in.
