Aisha ✈️

Turin, here we come! 🇮🇹💗

Aisha and her friend booked a Mystery Holiday and were thrilled with their destination — but it wasn’t just Turin that had them excited…

An early flight in and a late flight home meant more time to explore, while their hotel looked just as good as the destination itself. 👀

That’s the magic of a Mystery Holiday: we take care of the flights and hotel, you get to enjoy the excitement of finding out where you’re going. ✈️✨

Rance ✈️

The whole point of a Mystery Holiday? Take away the stress and add a little excitement. 👀✈️

Rance had never done anything like it before — but found the process really easy from the moment they booked.

FAQs

Whad’ya wanna know?

Here are a few answers we prepared earlier, along with a link to even more if you’ve got plenty of time on your hands.

A big dollop of excitement comes as standard, but you’ll need more than that.

  • Direct return flights
    Handpicked flights from your chosen UK airport.
  • Vetted 3-star+ hotel
    A handpicked, quality-checked stay at a 3-star or above hotel.
  • Cabin bag
    One small personal item for your flight such as a tote or backpack.
>

We use a weighted random allocation model to ensure every customer has a fair chance. While the vast majority of our adventures are curated as Bronze Tier 2-night breaks, a small number of lucky explorers are randomly upgraded to Silver or Gold durations. These allocations are completely random, applied equally to everyone, and are never influenced by your chosen airport or when you book. 

>

There are no hidden fees in our booking price. To keep things transparent, here are the standard travel costs not included in your package:

  • Local Taxes & Charges Some cities charge a small mandatory tourist tax. This is payable at the hotel and will be confirmed in your itinerary once your destination is revealed.
  • Luggage & Seats Your booking includes one small personal item. You can easily add checked bags or select specific seats directly via the airline’s login after your reveal.
  • Hotel Deposits & Meals Your stay is on a room-only basis. Some hotels may request a standard security deposit at check-in for incidentals, and you can usually upgrade to include breakfast once you arrive.
  • Transfers Airport transfers are not included, giving you the freedom to choose between a quick taxi, a bus, or a train once you land.
