Travel Resources

We have been travelling all over the world since March 2013 and during that time, we’ve spent a lot of time and trial and error testing out which companies work the best and give us the best value for money on the road. All of the companies you will see here are the ones that we use when we travel, because we know that they provide what we need to get the most out of our travels.

Sometimes, we have built such a good relationship with a company, that we’re able to offer special deals which are exclusive to Two Monkeys Travel Group.

That classic, romantic image we hold in our minds of cruising smoothly through the constantly-evolving countryside, chatting with passengers from all over the world between one beautiful city and the next. The Eurail Group provides rail passes for travel all over Europe, for one, two, four or twenty eight countries, at a much lower cost than buying individual tickets.
