We make use of the best tour leaders on the island, which are hand picked, trained and assigned to their specialised destinations. The company now has a compliment of 11 full time staff, 2 part-timers and over 40 Tour Leaders.
Our motto, which is included in our mission statement, has always been “quality affordable tours” and our aim is being reached as can be evidenced by the positive feedback we receive from our clients.
Hamilton Travel, in essence, is a tour operator, organising its own tours, constantly in search of best deals with airlines, cruise liners, hotels and coach companies. We however also cater for individual requirements to travel abroad and not necessarily for leisure purposes. Flights, accommodation, car hire, trains and concert and theatre tickets may all be booked through Hamilton Travel for the seasoned traveler.

The company also caters for individual travel and accommodation as well as honeymooners.
