The best family trip

“We used Black Tomato to help us plan our family holiday and were really impressed. They listened to our requirements and suggested we travel to Greece which was a destination we had not thought about and what a suggestion it was! We travelled to Santorini and Mykonos and had the best family trip we have ever had – so relaxed and the perfect mix of hotels and places. Every timing and detail were great, meaning we never had to stress about the next step.”
