“Sunday Times’ travel writers, David Wickers and Mark Hodson have pooled their experience to pick the best tour operators and holidays so you don’t have to wade through websites and brochures.

101 Holidays is among a “network of expertly written websites that cater for the specialist audiences that are arguably no longer being served as they once were by more traditional media organisations”.
