Europe
London, Paris, Amsterdam, Italy and multi-country trips — with the visa application, flights and hotels planned as one piece of work.
Overview
Europe is where many of our clients go for business, university and to visit relatives, as well as for city breaks and honeymoons. Direct flights from Nairobi reach London, Amsterdam and Paris, and most other cities are one connection away.
The visa decides a lot of the planning. The UK and the Schengen area have separate visas, so we start there: which application you need, when to apply, and bookings that match it. Then we plan the route, the hotels and the trains between cities.

Travel information
