OUR MISSION 

By carefully tailoring itineraries to suit our clients’ interests and budget, often opting for the path 

less travelled, we believe we can deliver a combination of amazing travel experiences, personal 

service and attention to detail that ensure your trip is as individual as you are. Transun’s local 

knowledge and insight, combined with our passion for travel and our commitment to your 

personal requirements, result in added value for our clients, ensuring you will want to repeat the 

Transun experience again and again. 

The transformative effects of travel are profound, as testified by the many inspirational 

testimonials in our brochures. And by making some of the wonders of the planet accessible 

and worry-free, at a level of luxury selected by you, we believe we are playing our own small 

part in nurturing an appreciation of the world’s amazing diversity, beauty and heritage that may 

ultimately help ensure its preservation for future generations.

year of trading. Over the years we have proudly pioneered a variety of new destinations and 

travel experiences, while today a new generation of company executives has taken up the baton, 

wholly determined to build upon the considerable achievements of the past. 


Without new experiences, 

something inside of us sleeps. 

The sleeper must awaken.

OUR SPECIALISTS 

At Transun, the love of travel is what unites us all. We are all bitten by the same bug. So our 

specialists, experts on destinations such as the Near and Far East, Iceland and the Arctic region, 

bring an engaging enthusiasm to their expertise, a passion and an attention-to-detail which 

means you will ultimately benefit. What’s more, at our chosen destinations we work only with 

local partners who share our enthusiasm and professionalism. We all want your travels with 

Transun to be beyond the ordinary. And we will move heaven and earth to ensure it. 


A journey is best measured 

in friends, rather than miles.

OUR PRICING 

If you trawl around the internet, you will no doubt find cheaper ways of visiting Transun’s 

destinations. But you will not have the benefit of our passion, expertise and commitment to 

ensuring your trip is problem-free. In the digital age, when DIY travel has become as everyday 

as no-frills airlines, enthusiastic personal service combined with genuine specialist knowledge are 

worth paying a little extra for. We think you will agree. Of course, if you have a budget in mind 

tell us and we will work within it for you. 


All journeys have secret destinations 

of which the traveller is unaware.

TAILOR-MADE 

Real tailor-made holidays are those created entirely to suit your personal hopes and expectations. 

We can advise and guide but ultimately, what you want is what you get. At Transun, we are 

confident that we have the on-the-ground knowledge and expertise to tailor travel arrangements 

that closely match your preferences, wish list and budget. As a result, the holiday we create for 

you will be unique. Because at Transun we honour your individuality.

TOURS AND ITINERARIES 

On our website and in our brochures you will find a selection of suggested tours for your 

chosen destination. These are intended to inspire you, to alert you to the possibilities available, 

illustrate what arrangements might be possible within your preferred holiday duration. They act 

only as a starting point and in no way limit your ability to seek an itinerary individually tailored 

to your needs. 


Take only memories, leave only footprints.

HONEYMOONS 

Many of Transun’s specialist destinations make wonderful settings for a honeymoon. If 

you are planning to tie the knot and want somewhere memorable to travel on to, call 

our honeymoon experts and allow us to make some suggestions. We know what special 

suites are available where, which ones are ideal for honeymooners and why – romantic 

sunsets perhaps, or memorable al fresco dining – and how to secure them for you at 

competitive prices. 


Travel brings power and 

love back into your life.

WEDDINGS 

Your wedding day is probably the most important in your life. And the world offers so many 

opportunities to make it memorable. With Transun, you might decide to get married on a beach 

lapped by the Indian Ocean, or you might opt for the ultimate white wedding, surrounded by the 

winter snowscapes of Lapland. Whatever your choice, Transun wedding experts will take all the 

worries from you, making all the local arrangements needed to ensure your married life gets off 

to a perfect start. 


Stop worrying about the potholes in 

the road and celebrate the journey.

RESPONSIBLE TOURISM 

Travel can be a tremendous force for good in the world. It affords a unique opportunity for 

people throughout the world to cooperate in a unique partnership. Make no mistake: responsible 

travel can help make the world a better place. But if tourism is carried on recklessly it can do 

more harm than good. That’s why we’ve implemented a policy of Responsible Tourism. We aim 

to minimise the impact of our tour operating on the environment, bring economic advantages to 

local communities, and open minds to new experiences and cultures, from which we can learn 

how better to treasure our planet. 


Don’t tell me how educated you are,

OUR OFFICES 

Transun’s offices are located amid the dreaming towers of Oxford. We are a stone’s throw from 

Magdalen Bridge, historic scene of student May Day celebrations each year. The oasis that is 

Oxford Botanic Garden is close by, as are many of the university’s medieval college buildings, in 

all their gothic splendour. If you would like to call in and discuss your itinerary face-to-face, we
