I was born and bred in Liverpool in the Northwest of England. I am 38 years old; I am happily married, and I am the father to two amazing boys.
I began my career in the property sector and after 10 years in the industry I opened my own high street letting agency in 2015 and co-founded a block management company in 2018.
I have a huge passion for travelling and in 2021 I was fortunate enough to be able to switch careers and start my own travel business as a Franchisee of GoCruise & Travel.
Away from travel I am mildly obsessed with golf and have become a very keen golfer. I also love football and I am a huge Evertonian.
It all began in 2014 when we were convinced by our friends to join them on a Royal Caribbean cruise around the Mediterranean onboard the Liberty of the Seas.
At the time my perception of cruising was that it was boring, expensive, and only for the elderly. I was also worried that I would be seasick!
After only one night on the cruise, I knew we’d be back cruising again and after a week onboard all my preconceived ideas had been squashed and we’d had an amazing time.
Since then, I have sailed on many other Royal Caribbean ships and have also sailed with Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Virgin Voyages and MSC Cruises.
When spending time with friends and family, often after a few drinks, I would try to convince anyone who would listen that they must try a cruise holiday and have successfully managed to convert many a non-believer. I’d basically become a glorified travel agent…
I love to travel – but more specifically I love to holiday. My idea of a dream holiday is a trip to Orlando, Florida with the family or onboard a cruise ship to the Caribbean.
What I love about both is that there is always something to do, and you can fill your days with jam-packed fun, or you can kick back and relax.

Thank you so much to Sam for helping us book and plan our trip to Disneyland Paris in January. What a trip we had! Sam made the process as seamless and stress free as possible with his super friendly approach and knowledge about DLP. Sam helped us book our character breakfast quickly with no issues, saving us a fortune and allowed for an unforgettable trip for us all. We couldn't recommend Sam enough and have pestered him since for other places we would love to go. Nothing is too much trouble for Sam, who went to great lengths to ensure that we had the most amazing time. Thank you so much!
We have just returned back from our MSC cruise and I can’t recommend Sam enough. He made the booking process alot easier and was happy to answer any questions we had. We couldn’t beat the price.
Thanks for all your help! I have no doubt we will book again
We have just come home from a family trip to Florida with everything from hotels, park passes and booking our park days before we travelled plus transfers all booked through Sam.
We cannot fault the service, helps, hints and tips and all around fantastic customer service received from start to finish from Sam.
Nothing was too much trouble even when we were in Florida able to ask him for recommendations.
Would definitely book with him again for future trips and recommend to anyone!
Thanks so much for all your help
We have just returned from a fantastic NCL Med Cruise booked through Sam. What a brilliant service he provided. He was able to secure us a package at a far cheaper price than any we had looked at. He also managed to include the gratuities, drinks package as well as speciality dining. Could not recommend him highly enough. We have already booked our next two holidays through Sam.
From the day we enquired about our honeymoon, Sam was always at the other end of the phone! We have booked our Eastern Caribbean cruise already with many more things to come!!! Thorough, professional, knowledgeable and always with a smile! Cant recommend him enough. Many thanks for making the process an easy one!
My daughter and I booked a holiday through Sam, he was able to save us money and upgrade our Hotels for our trip to Dubai, Singapore and Bali.
We were impressed by his knowledge and attention to detail.
He also supported us when we had an issue whilst we were away.
Overall Sam made the decision process easier, his Customer Service skills made the booking process enjoyable and we felt safe in his hands and secure in the knowledge we had the best deal with minimum effort on our behalf.
Thanks Sam
Sam made our dream holiday a reality at a fraction of the price. Superb service and communication throughout. Thanks and we will absolutely be choosing to book with you again #Japan2023
I would highly recommend Sam!
After our Florida holiday was cancelled last year due to covid we attempted to rebook with Virgin Holidays but the prices had increased dramatically, We couldn't find the package we once had at a reasonable price .. until Sam went above and beyond to find us the perfect package at an amazing price! The service Sam provided was spot on even after booking our holiday he continued to stay in touch and give us tips and recommendations.
Thankyou we can't wait to book our next holiday with Sam Tumilty Travel.
Ease, Clarity and Precision!
Sam found exactly what I was after in less than 24 hours. Coming in less than my budget in the most stunning location. I just know the holiday will be out of this world. Already got Sam planning another trip! Couldn't recommend enough. Will only be using Sam from now on!
Just booked our 2023 Summer Holiday with Sam. As a couple we had always booked TUI packages for ease. Sam was able to offer recommendations on resorts that where good for a couple travelling with a 2 year old and advise on free child places. He booked us a TUI package that was cheaper than the TUI website. If we have any questions or issues we don’t need to spend hours on the phone to TUI as Sam can handle everything directly. We’ve got the holiday we wanted and saved money. Win win. Fully recommend booking with Sam
All the excitement of booking a holiday without the stress!
As someone who gets so overwhelmed by choice and can’t make a decision, the best thing I did was contact Sam. He produced a shortlist of resorts and hotels for us to choose from based on the things we’d asked for which saved us so much time trawling through different websites and reviews and comparing prices!
Now we can look forward to our perfect holiday! Just wish he could do our packing too.
Sam booked us a Cruise with NCL, he sorted everything out for us. He did all the spadework. All we have to do is turn up. Would recommend his personal touch.
Just returned back from a US Sports fly/drive road trip down the east coast.
A massive thank you to Sam for making this holiday of a lifetime become reality, right from the original time of booking all the way up to departure Sam helped us out with any amendments to itinerary even managed to book on another 2 of our friends to come out with us.
Great communication throughout the whole process starting with booking, then the ESTA process and even the odd message to check up on how the trip has been going.
We are already planning next years road-trip, and without doubt we will be booking with Sam again.
Thanks once again
