Pequot Travel Ltd
Specialists in the Art of Travel since 1972



Enhance your experience. 

Welcome.  If you would rather not read the following, call us at 203-255-5965 or email fred@pequottravel.com and save time.  Well done!

Hello, I'm Fred Waugh, owner of Pequot Travel Ltd, Est. 1972.  Thank you for visiting!

If you have been here before and are back for more ideas, please skip to the red dot below, thanks. (Opportunity to call us at 203-255-5965).

Briefly, my company offers high quality trips in a very personalized manner at no additional cost.  Our suppliers pay us and you don't. 

We have been in the business for nearly 40 years successfully working with a great clientele with a broad spectrum of needs and we enjoy filling those.

You don't need to subscibe to our website - that's a pain.

We may be a bit teckie and use all the tools available but at the end of the day we are truly "people" people who can't wait to work with you.

We are on the web to help you find what you want and spend our time to get that for you.  Note: here is another chance to move forward with your plans by calling us at 203-255-5965.

We do two things well; we listen hard and work harder for you. You don't need to hear endless stories about what a wonderful time I've had outside the country traveling to all seven continents averaging 2 - 3 months a year abroad for the past 25 years. Nor do want to hear about my trekking with Mountain gorillas in Rwanda or piloting bush planes in Botswana. Boring stuff.  We will always focus on your plans. 

Price is important.  Last May a Patek Philippe Ref. 1436 rattrapante (double) chronograph watch sold for $1.12 million at an Antiquorum auction. The buyer thought that was a good price.  
I can assure you that your next "great vacation" will be priced better than this beautiful watch.  
 
We are compensated by our suppliers so you pay no more to us as you would to them. No asterisks. No fine print. Full transparency.

We know what is out there on the internet. One huge benefit we offer to you - we have the best contacts in the industry because we have worked personally with them at the highest levels for two or three decades. All business people understand the need for quality contacts and what they will do for you. 

Our good contacts represent the finest hotels, resorts, spas, cruise lines and tour operators in the world.  These are people who are behind the scenes in every successful trip. Every great business relies on great people.  Virtuoso, a name you may never have heard of, is the reason we continue to be successful and you will learn why later.

Thank you for reading this short introduction. Now, let's find the vacation you want. (Another opportunity to call us at 203-255-5965...)
.Welcome to our online site for up to the minute information on fine hotels, resorts and spas worldwide in addition to fine cruises and tours.

Two nights in Napa? Great. Two months in Tuscany? Got it. Your first or twentieth African safari? Call us. 
. Make a reservation with Pequot Travel Ltd and receive amenities, upgrades and offers the hotels and other agencies do not. The following are some of what our clients receive complimentary:

- Room upgrade on arrival * or at booking * if available
- Complimentary breakfast for two
- Complimentary transfers
- Convenient early check-in and early check-out
- Customized amenities - such as complimentary message, a round of golf or a special benefit unique to the property, tour or cruise line.

We know the people who make it happen and it starts with us.

One thing we do differently is that we establish and maintain relationships with every hotel's management that we deal with.  There are thousands of hotels worldwide that we work with and we make the time to meet with management twice a year. 

My experience of 25 years has allowed me to get to know most managers well.

One of our goals is that every time you go to a hotel, the general manger will know you are coming and you will be treated as a VIP.  It what sets us apart as well as the fine hotels.

Our $8 billion dollar volume worldwide through Virtuoso – which Pequot Travel Ltd has been a member for 21 years
 - helps in our price negotiations in your behalf.  Pequot Travel's upgrades and amenities are also added in make your stay in many ways better than our competitors.

From moderate to the most deluxe properties, we have amenities and excellent pricing at thousands of hotels worldwide.  That is what we offer you and continously work on - personal relationships with hotel management and tour operators that benefit you.

Please take advantage of our 21 years of ground work every time you travel.

Fred
just wanted you to know we are back and had the smoothest possible travel despite worldwide chaos!
  (Volcanic ash)

THANKS for everything!!

And P.S.  the transfers were perfect and handled flawlessly.

Noto bene:   You can turn on your computer and book yourself a suite at a nice hotel. But you can’t tell that hotel how important you are. 

We can.


Fred,
 

Once again, you have gone above and beyond to plan a wonderful vacation for us . . .  We're very excited to head out tomorrow for what promises to be a fabulous experience.  We'll tell you all about it when we see you back in CT!  (At the next Near & Far event if not sooner!) 

Many many many thanks,


Dear Fred,

     Would you please be my new best friend?

     The trip was AMAZING!  The details you coordinated went beautifully - we were always in good hands and the service was outstanding. 
      Unfortunately, the day we arrived at Mala Mala the entire staff went on strike!  They handled it all so well and we don't hold it against them, but I'm sure it would have been even more wonderful if they were operating normally. 
       I cannot tell you how much my family and I appreciated this fantastic trip - we won't go anywhere again without you!!

     I hope you are up north enjoying all the white stuff - Happy New Year to you!

                                                                                All Best




Hello, I'm Fred Waugh, President of Pequot Travel Ltd

You do not need to join a club or be a cardholder paying a yearly fee to receive special treatment when you travel.  Or special pricing or special amenities.

You don't need to pay for the privilege of working with Pequot Travel. You will get savings, you will get special treatment, you will get upgrades and you will get amenities.

You will work with some of the most knowlegable people in the travel industry.  I'm good at what I do but most importantly, I know the professional contacts in all parts of the world who care about you.

It's in their personal makeup to make your trip a success as it is in ours.

There is also pride in their success. 
An annual $8 billion dollar volume worldwide through Virtuoso – which Pequot Travel Ltd has been a member for 22 years - gives our clients the opportunity of better rates, upgrades, better rooms and an assortment of amenities.    

There is always an incentive to do well but to excel takes special people who routinely go beyond what is expected.

Call us for any trip short or long, easy or complicated - we add value.

Email info@pequottravel.com - a one minute email will save you time and money.

It is your choice to take advantage of our 21 years of ground work every time you travel. You will get more - sometimes significantly more - for the same price or less than going direct or searching the internet.

 

When I travel, I'm taken excellent care of. My business, however, is to be certain that you are.
