About Us

Complete Peace of Mind

In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to travel with a company you know and trust. Book with Shearings and you can rest assured that your holiday will be protected by our membership of ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents), and also by our licence with ATOL (Air Travel Organisers' Licensing) if you're travelling by air.

We also belong to several other trade organisations, including the FTO (Federation of Tour Operators), CPT (Confederation of Passenger Transport UK), PSA (Passenger Shipping Association) and ACE (Association of Cruise Experts). We're a founder member of BEST (Better Escorted Touring), a body comprising the country's leading escorted tour operators.
