ArrangeMY Escape holds taster UK events before Italy tour

The agency has arranged transport for the group to Heathrow airport for the six-night trip, which costs £2,400, including the UK pre-trip events.

Lynch said she had been nervous about filling the tour. “I remember saying to the team, ‘I don’t know if it will sell out so we’ll give ourselves until October’, but we’re nearly full already,” she said.

It is Magari Tours’ inaugural trip in partnership with an agency since it launched at the start of 2024. The brand has confirmed plans for a further exclusive departure with another agency.

Tony Flanagan, sales and product director at Magari Tours, said: “I wanted to partner with Jennifer because I was inspired by her and her team’s commitment to excellence. She understood the essence of Magari and felt the immersive nature and local artisan experiences of our tours would capture the imagination of her clients.

“Offering agents the opportunity not only to introduce Magari to their clients, but also to experience it with them on their own departure, will strengthen trust between the client and agent. It’s a win-win.”
