About Our Group

Group Travel, Done the Friendly Way

Hello! I'm Gina, and I'm delighted to welcome you to Journey with Gina. I've been organising group travel for many years, in association with Upminster & Cranham Residents Association and other groups, and now I'm bringing all that together in one place with my own friendly travel community.

For me, it's all about sharing great experiences with like-minded people who enjoy getting out and about. We travel together in comfortable, relaxed company — exploring new places and making memories along the way.

Whether you're a regular member or joining for the very first time, you'll always find a warm welcome on the coach. Many friendships made on our trips have lasted long after we arrive home!

"The Royal Albert Hall concert was absolutely magical — Gina organised everything perfectly. The coach journey itself is half the fun with the raffle and all the lovely company!"

About Gina

The Person Behind Every Trip

I started organising group travel through Upminster & Cranham Residents Association and quickly discovered how much joy a well-planned day out can bring to people. There's something truly special about a group of like-minded people exploring somewhere new together.

Journey With Gina grew out of that passion. I'm proud to be a member of the Association of Group Travel Organisers (AGTO), which means you can trust that your trip is organised professionally and with your safety and enjoyment at heart.

I personally research every destination, send out detailed information sheets before each trip, and I'm always on hand on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly. You just need to show up and enjoy yourself!
