Wren Elite Travel

Back to school doing the BTEC Advanced Certificate in Travel and Tourism!

I've decided to do some more formal learning in my career and have signed up to do the BTEC Advanced Certificate in Travel and Tourism, which also gives me student membership of the Institute of Travel and Tourism.

The course is based around a few different topic areas within the industry, but I thought it wouldn't do any harm to get something more 'official' under my belt! I'm looking forward to working my way though the course, and have plenty of time, but with sixteen 1500-2000 word assignments to complete, I won't be finishing this course overnight!             

About this site

Hello and welcome!

You are at the travel blog of Wren Elite Travel. Wren Elite Travel is a small, independent agency specialising in escorted and private treks and tours, luxury holidays, and long-haul travel, as well as 'niche' or special interest holidays such as adventure trips or opera tours, in addition to tailor-made travel.

Our blog is about bringing a little bit of life to the main website - communicating with you, offering ideas and inspiration, and keeping you updated with news and offers.

Why escorted or private tours?

From walking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, to exploring pristine and beautiful gardens and estates in the British countryside, escorted tours are anything but going on a coach trip to Blackpool!

Whether it is trekking through the chocolate-box mountain villages of the Swiss Alps you've always fancied, or taking a more leisurely pace to see the Great Wall of China and other astounding ancient Eastern sights, escorted and private tours are your passport to the wonders of the world.

Adventure tours, cultural tours, cycling tours, garden tours, opera tours, sight-seeing tours, mountain treks, luxury rail tours and gastronomic tours are but a very tiny few of the once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences you could have by booking on an escorted or private tour.
