Darryl Gardner

With over 20 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of working for some of the largest travel agencies and tour operators. This includes seven years as a Business Development Manager at Specialist Holidays Group (now Travelopia) and two years in the same role at G-Touring, one of the UK’s premier escorted touring companies (Just You & Travelsphere). Unfortunately, I was affected by the impact of COVID-19 and made redundant from G-Touring. This led me to return to retail, where I joined the dynamic team at Cartwright Travel / Passion For Cruises in Cardiff. Since starting in September 2020, I’ve become a passionate ambassador for escorted tours, emphasising to our clients why this is one of the best ways to explore the world. 

  Here are a few of my top tips: 

 • Enjoy safety in numbers 

 • Experience the highlights of bucket-list destinations 

 • Benefit from the world’s best travel guides, providing invaluable tips while taking care of you throughout your journey
