We are proud of the fact that we are a completely independent travel agency. Our independence makes us unique; it makes us special; it means we have the freedom to sell what our customers really want. Unlike most travel agencies we're not bound to contracts with major airlines, hotels and other travel providers, giving us the freedom to create travel packages that suit the customer not a corporate agenda. At Ingrid’s Travel, we live and breathe travel. We're proud to go that little bit further than anyone else to deliver the perfect holiday experience for every single customer. So, if you’re passionate about travel, care about people and take pride in what you do then we’d love to hear from you
