Travel is my passion and love, it's what makes me tick! I enjoy creating all itineraries from solo travel to family, corporate trips, honeymoons and have done them all for many years in the travel industry.
The other passion is hosting women on carefully curated small group adventures, from wellness weeks in Vietnam to Immersive India, trips that push the boundaries of yourself & prioritising self care.
Some of my absolute favourite places, Turkey - I love how understated this country is, apart from the mosques having no high rise buildings, it's a simple life with a stunning coastline, beautiful people and rich in culture and history. Then by contrast i love NYC for the hustle and bustle, tangibility of the city. Not knowing who or what is around the next corner and getting wrapped up in all this amazing city has to offer. Then their is Fiji a beautiful island to take the family and relax, warm and inviting always, watch the kids play and make some beautiful memories. I'm Irish so Ireland will always have my heart and is also high on the list, from the friendliest people, rugged raw coastline, quaint towns and cosy pubs with a lil trad music thrown in, it's a breaktaking beauty to explore!
So many more amazing destinations i could go on all day, i love the intricacy of organising itineraries to flow and tick all the boxes for your trip. I look forward to planning your next :)

Such a wonderful holiday. More than met our expectations. Sinead from Travel Managers organised everything for us and included not only everything we asked for but so much more. Sinead’s attention to detail ensured our holiday was one that will be remembered and talked about for years. India is such an amazing country with so much to see and do. A highly recommended holiday destination especially if organised through Sinead. Wendy.

Sinead organised my dream trip from Barcelona to Rome. I was solo travelling for the first time and Sinead made the process easy from organising, the group tour, flights, insurance and hotels before and after. No question was too much trouble and I had lots. I found the Intrepid Tour wonderful and the perfect fit for myself as a solo traveller. All her recommendations were perfect and I would not have been able to do this without her help and expertise. She was friendly, knowledgable and professional and I would recommend Sinead to family and friends and use her for future travel.

Sinead is the best travel agent when it comes to many years of experience and knowledge. She knows the go-to places whichever country you wish to stay and books your accommodation right in the thick of it whether it be open country or smack bang in the middle of the city. Sinead understands family holidays and the activities to please parents and children, so can plan an itinerary to meet the needs of your family trip. She has a collaborative approach and takes the time to really understand how you want your holiday to be, then can compile activities and accommodation in line with time frames and local accessibility to carefully construct the perfect holiday plan. The constant Google and self research was exhausting and confusing, so Sinead took all the complexities out whilst meeting our holiday needs within the budget. Highly recommend!!! :)

I have used Sinead many times, and as usual her service was second to none. She arranged a business trip to Chicago this time and made everything so easy. She was aware of all the protocols relating to Covid and visa's required to ensure everything went smoothly.When my original flight was cancelled, she was there to find me another option and sat on hold to American Airlines for hours even while she was on her own holidays with her family!I would highly recommend Sinead!

We booked a trip with Sinead to Singapore as a half way meet up point for a reunion trip with family. She really took care of everything and took the stress out of booking. Everything from the fantastic accommodation to our seats and kids meals being pre selected for the flight to travel insurance made out trip seamless. Thanks Sinead for getting us to our family who we had missed so much!

This was our second time booking a holiday with Sinead and as expected we received fantastic service and bookings. Our 15 day European river cruise with Emerald (Sinead’s recommendation) was amazing. I can’t even pinpoint a highlight as there were so many. Would love to do another one sometime, in a different destination. The hotel booked for us were great, always in a great location and convenient for public transport. The entire holiday including flights was made seamless and so easy that we were not stressed about anything! The travel app with all the info we needed, itinerary and hotel bookings was so easy to use and we will not be needing any hard copies in future. Thanks so much Sinead, you organised us the perfect holiday… of a lifetime.Laurel and Steve

Sinead from Travel Managers is absolutely amazing, we were in Venice and I tried to get on one of the ships leaving the next day,but all cruises were booked out, so I called Sinead to help us,and within 6 hours we were on our way to the beautiful Croatian coast. Sinead took over everything and did it so efficiently, we were so relieved to have her checking in to see if all was ok too,2 days before we got back to Venice I emailed her to see if she could organise a trip up to the Dolomites,with one day she had an all booked five day trip up to there and amazing accomodation too.A car was organised to pick us up to take us there,as soon as we disembarked from the cruise ship. Everything worked so well,and a relief that Sinead could take over at such short notice. I would never hesitate to use Sinead again, and have recommended her to many of our friends. Thank you Sinead.

From the moment I enquired with Sinead, nothing was too much trouble, and Sinead was always prompt in communicating and answering our questions. She knew exactly what type of family holiday we were after for our boys' first trip overseas and it was perfect. We had the best time with a balance of exploring and experiencing Thai culture with downtime to relax. Thank you so much, Sinead!

Amazing European Winter vacation organised by Sinead! Hotels were in great locations. Even better, when flights didn't go as planned, Sinead was available to sort out accomodation and new flights

Sinead Phillips has arranged quite a few trips for us which I can say she has done a fantastic job. Sinead arranged a trip to Hawaii for 9 of us to fly there and cruise home back to Australia and I can honestly say that was one of my favourite holiday. When we decided to do a Europe cruise we knew we could trust Sinead to organise everything, Sinead also booked our cruise to the Greek islands then 6 days in London then another cruise around the Amalfi coast. We had a fantastic time. I highly recommend Sinead to anyone that wants a stress free holiday.Lynne Burke 12 November 2021

Thank you to Sinead and team for planning my trip to Japan. The hotel locations couldn’t have been in better spots, right in the hustle and bustle that Japan had to offer; and was easy to get around town. Will be using again for next exciting adventure!!

Sinead did a wonderful job of organising an epic 5 week holiday for our extended family of 13, visiting Ireland, Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany. Having to deal with our 4 individual families with slightly different itineraries didn’t seem to phase her. Flights on different airlines from Australia arrived in London within an hour of each other and all the hotels she recommended were in great locations to accommodate us all comfortably. She was always available to answer our many questions or requests, and always with a smile. Thank you Sinead for taking the stress out of our holiday planning. We will absolutely be recommending you to family and friends that want help with their travel plans.

Sinead makes travelling so much easier and worry free. She organised our flights accommodation and tours in so doing gave us a hassle free happy holiday. The only fly in the ointment was provided by JetStar, completely out of her or anyones control.

We have had Sinead arrange a couple of our family holidays and she has always been a great asset to have in our back pocket. Even when we had queries whilst travelling. Her knowledge of any destination we have visited was second to none from the US to Vietnam. Would highly recommend her to anyone planning their next trip.
