Reviews of this Operator

Recently returned from the great....

Recently returned from the great Indian rail journey.My wife and I could hardly believe the value for money.From pick ups from Durham to Heathrow and back,to the number of coach and train journeys , quality hotels, great choice of food throughout and our first night in Heathrow Hilton. What really made our trip a success was our guide, Prashant,who managed a party of twenty four very varied, sometimes a little unpredictable travellers with ease.Nothing was too much trouble for him and as a group we gelled and warmed to Prashant as he kept us safe, well informed and a little entertained by his mix of authority and humanity.Where do I begin with the tour itself ? India,a country of extremes.Poverty,wealth,order,chaos.Sometimes bleak,often breathtakingly beautiful.The people,the cities,art, architecture,flaura and fauna.Delhi,Jaipur, Amritsar,Agra, Ranthambore, Chandigarh and the icing on the cake that is Shimla. An absolute masterclass of man versus nature,the railway and buildings are an unbelievable feat,but wait until you see the dual carriageway being built on the mountainside.🤯I could go on for a very long time but I'll just post some photos.Thanks to Titan,thanks to the excellent Prashant and and a massive thanks to the other twenty two travellers who helped shape our holiday of a lifetime.🏁💜

I have booked the Icelandic...

I have booked the Icelandic Adventure holiday with Titan Travel, the Booking Staff was pleasant throughout. What I love about Titan Travel, transfer from your home to the airport and vice versa is included in the holiday.

Danube cruise was great value....

Danube cruise was great value. Well organised. Clear instructions from Titan prior to travel. Door to door service great.

Exceptional trip and service by Titan

Just returned from a fabulous tour of California & the golden west. It’s a full on tour with early starts but you see so much varied landscape from the ocean to the desert to Yosemite. My 2nd tour with Titan & my first solo tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it & met some great people. Grand Canyon was amazing would definitely recommend

Not merely a holiday, rather a memorable experience

I have used other travel operators; this was the 1st time of touring with Titan----Israel, The Holy Land, from being collected from home and returned at the end of the holiday this was an unforgettable experience; the Tour Manager, a PhD Archaeology made the whole tour so interesting, he enlightened us throughout each day from an historical, archeological and Biblical viewpoint, bringing each site we visited come to life, and went over and above his remit escorting us for evening trips around the local area; thanks also to our very patient driver who coped with the very busy traffic; our hotels were good, professional and pleasant staff and really good food; I would recommend Titan to anyone looking for a fascinating tour with excellent efficient service thank you Titan nor just for a holiday for a memorable experience

We had a 2 weeks...

We had a 2 weeks fantastic holiday arranged by Titan to Vietnam and Cambodia. Excellent,well organised Throughly enjoyed. Very good service by Vietnam Airlines, if you could afford book it in premium economy. We had a door to door service , picked up to airport from home and then dropped at home from airport, very convinient. Particular credit goes to our guide THI who is a caring, knolegeable, friendly down to earth man who made our trip a memorable one. I will not hesitate to book another holiday through Titan, their staff are friendly and helpful

We had a fantastic holiday...

We had a fantastic holiday in Mississippi. Right from our chauffeur driven car picking us up to the return journey, we had a great time. The first hotel The Gaylord was amazing,absolutely huge,first class. The second The Double tree in Memphis unfortunately wasn't, the hotel was tired and very basic, the only plus was where it is situated in the centre of town, we were only there two nights so it wasn't to bad. The American Queen Steam Boat was first class all the way, thoroughly enjoyed the seven nights sailing down the Mississippi. The last hotel the Sheraton New Orleans was very comfortable too. Our guide throughout our time away was Laura Tuttle. she was amazing, very knowledgeable, and helpful. We also had a coach driver Guil, who went over and beyond to give you the best time. Other coach guides included Jim,who was so funny, and also very knowledgeably. Very entertaining throughout. The entire itinerary itinerary was very well thought out, included a huge variety of visits to different Interesting locations. Highly recommend using Titan for all your holiday destinations.

Perfect Italian Holiday…

Just returned from a lovely week in Sorrento at the Grand Hotel Hermitage, we had an excellent guide Peter Macchristopher. we loved the hotel the staff were very nice especially in the dining rooms, the food was good and the room we had was really nice with a wonderful view. Altogether very good value holiday.we felt the trip to Pompei was very good also boat trip to Amalfi. I would recommend a walk to the village of St Agatha and a three hour ride on the Little Blue Train. Great fun.this can be booked at reception.

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!!...

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!! (Dreadful) Avoid Titan and Saga at all costs. False descriptions of the tour and dreadful administration Returned to the UK last evening with a great sigh of relief after the worst holiday ever. 1. No block booking of airplane seats by Titan. (Husband and I sat apart on the long, overnight flight) 2. Unable to pre-book seats as Titan reference numbers did not coincide with anything. 3. Husband and I not sat together on any of the train journeys! In fact, on one occasion I was sat, alone on a sleeper carriage, a couple of carriages away from the rest of the group who were scattered over two or three carriages. Terrifying as a female to be sat alone in the midst of noisy locals!!!!! (Eventually the guide, Rahi, did come to rescue me and found a seat near the main group) 4. The guide, Rahi, would usually get off the coach and begin walking off without waiting for all the group to disembark the coach. (Spot the guide in the crowd!) 5. The guide, Rahi, refused to use any identifying prop such as a flag, hat, jacket or umbrella. Frightening to be in the manic crowds of Delhi and other crowded places to be unable to see the guide. 6. NO AUDIO HEADSET system on any excursion 7. The guide, Rahi, didn’t face the whole group, but stood sideways on and was unable to be heard by the majority. 8. OUTRAGEOUS behaviour by the guide when he enquired as to the whereabouts of my husband, whom I explained was in bed with an upset stomach and was feeling unwell. Rahi DID A REVERSE AIR PUNCH😳😳. This was in response to an earlier conversation when my husband had complained about our separate seating arrangements. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL 9. When we arrived at Heathrow to find our aircraft seats were not allocated, we were advised to speak to our guide on arrival at Delhi. Rahi merely shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn’t do anything. 10. Tour pace incorrect - gruelling pace and only half a day relaxation due to the guide, Rahi, throwing in visits to shops and factories fie him to earn his commission as I head him tell another!!!!!!! 11. When off loaded the return flight due to illness, we were unable to get in contact with Titan/Saga. Left in Delhi without an hotel or flight!!! Found accommodation but didn’t remove shoes or clothes due to the poor standard. Final summary: Poor, disappointing, inefficient, incompetent, misleading, misrepresentations, are just a few words to describe.

Luxury VIP door to door...

Luxury VIP door to door travel! I don't think so....Titan sent a Toyota Prius uber to Stanstead for a return journey to Newport, S Wales. 4 adults plus luggage! the experience was anything but luxurious. Contacted Titan on the return journey and since return. They simply didn't seem interested and offered us a £300 travel discount off a future trip! After a lot of emails they converted it to a £300 cash refund. Give it a lot of thought before booking !

NASA confirms nuclear-powered Dragonfly drone is going to Titan

Whew relief for boffins as rotorcraft slated to arrive at saturn moon in 2034.

NASA has finally confirmed its Dragonfly rotorcraft mission will be heading to Titan, one of Saturn's Moons, meaning the team behind the project can finalize its design and get to work building the spacecraft.

Things had been looking a little risky for the drone as budgets were squeezed and launch dates shifted – Dragonfly was originally slated for launch in 2026. But yesterday NASA approved the mission and the July 2028 launch date, with a scheduled arrival at Titan in 2034.

The total lifecycle cost of the mission is currently $3.35 billion, approximately double the proposed cost. The increases were blamed on the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain issues, and "the results of an in-depth design iteration." The project was also directed to replan multiple times due to funding constraints in fiscal years 2020 and 2022.

Additional funding has been provided for a heavy-lift launch vehicle to cut the time needed for the cruise phase to Saturn. NASA did not specify which heavy-lift launcher would be used, although the agency did use the SpaceX Falcon Heavy to launch the Psyche mission in 2023 and plans to use the rocket for its Europa Clipper later in 2024.

Confirmation of the Titan visit is a spark of optimism amid budgetary gloom at NASA. The increasing costs of the Mars Sample Return expedition combined with funding constraints could mean cannibalization for some of the agency's other projects. It is, therefore, a relief for many engineers and scientists that DragonFly, which is to be designed and built under the direction of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, received its confirmation.

Powered by a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) – like the Mars Curiosity rover – the Dragonfly dual-quadcopter drone is expected to travel hundreds of kilometers during its planned two-year exploration of Titan.

According to the team, "In under an hour, Dragonfly will cover tens of miles or kilometers, farther than any planetary rover has traveled."

The vehicle will, however, spend most of its time on the surface of Titan, making science measurements.

• Solar wind gave Mars a breather and its magnetosphere inflated

NASA taps trio of companies to build the next generation of lunar rover

Titan has long fascinated scientists. The Voyager probes imaged the moon in 1979 and 1980, but the organic haze in the atmosphere obscured the surface in visible wavelengths. In 2004, the Cassini orbiter arrived and mapped much of the moon's surface. In 2005, Cassini released the Huygens probe, which parachuted to the surface.

If everything goes according to plan, almost 30 years later, it will be the turn of Dragonfly to inspect the surface of Titan. ®

Koblenz city tour and Ehrenbreitstein Fortress (morning)

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Huddled among the lush slopes of the Moselle Valley, decorated with a mass of timber-framed houses set on a scurry of streets and a towering medieval castle above – there may not be a more beautiful scene in Germany than the town of Cochem (and there’s some stiff competition).

We’ll spend some time today exploring the 12th-century castle together, before enjoying the local wine with a tasting and setting sail for the next stop on our river cruise.

Cochem castle and wine tasting (morning)

One of Germany’s oldest cities with an impressive number of UNESCO-listed sites (eight!), you won’t be left twiddling your thumbs here in the ‘Rome of the north’.

Step ashore and join an optional city walk to discover the pastel-hued city centre in Hauptmarkt Square. Well-preserved townhouses create a mix of Renaissance, baroque and classic architecture.

Further afield, the remnants of a Roman metropolis can be found with a number of ancient sights, including the majestic Porta Nigra gate. A worthy stop on our Moselle river cruise.

Resting in the heart of the beautiful Middle Moselle, Bernkastel is a quintessential medieval German town and a charming stop on our river cruise. Life is unhurried and simple pleasures prevail. It’s one of those places where it’s better to simply ‘be’ than ‘do’.

We’ll spend our morning wandering the beautiful, cobbled streets on an included walking tour. Feast your eyes on the old-time architecture and picturesque streets, then maybe stop for a coffee (or beer) in one of the squares to really soak up the small-town ambience.

Walking tour of Bernkastel (morning

Awake in Boppard, boasting more than 2,000 years of history. This picturesque town is located in the valley of the mythical Lorelei and an optional walking tour will reveal the town’s history.

The Rheinallee along the waterfront is an attractive promenade, and the Gothic Carmelite Church is famous for its 15th-century choir stalls. Late afternoon we sail south, passing the Lorelei rock where legend has it that a siren sang to sailors, luring their ships onto the submerged rocks where the men drowned.

As you approach the base of the rock, keep your eye out for her bronze statue perched on a narrow strip of land. We’ll arrive late evening into the pretty wine-growing town of Rüdesheim.

famous Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Museum. Watching and listening to the extraordinary self-playing musical instruments is a delight. There’ll then be time for your own further explorations of the town, with its half-timbered houses. Be sure to head to the Drosselgasse and perhaps visit one of the wine taverns or sample the excellent coffee for which this town is renowned, served in ceramic goblets.

We set sail after lunch for an afternoon of sublime scenic cruising as we head northwards, back through the Rhine’s most beautiful stretch, passing through the narrow gorge, with castles dotted along the hilltops.

Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Museum (morning)

After breakfast we board our waiting coaches for the return journey to Calais and Channel crossing.

Upon arrival in Dover, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

VIP door-to-door travel service Travel with us and your holiday starts the moment you step out your front door. There’s no worry about taxi fares, train timetables or having to lug your bags on public transport – we take care of the whole journey for you. Hassle-free transfers* As the pioneers of door-to-door transfers, our service is industry-leading. No matter where you’re flying from, our drivers will pick you up from home (or another address if that’s easier) and take you to your departure airport. When you return, they’ll be waiting at the terminal to bring you back home again. If you’ve chosen to stay in a hotel the night before your flight, that’s not a problem – we’ll collect you the day before and take you to the hotel. Everyone’s a VIP – no matter how far you are from the airport We won’t ask you to pay extra just because you live further away. There are no mileage limits or supplements to pay for our airport transfers – we cover every UK address (with the exception of the Scottish Islands and Sark, where we’ll pick you up from a mainland address of your choice). *The majority of our VIP door-to-door service transfers are not exclusive to one holiday booking and journeys to and from the airport may be undertaken via additional addresses and may involve a change of vehicle.
