imbriexcus - About Us

Our Story

What began in 2009 as a small office above a cafe on Colmore Row has grown into one of the Midlands' most respected independent travel agencies. Founded by travel enthusiasts who believed that holidays should be more than transactions, imbriexcus was built on a simple principle: every journey deserves personal attention.

Our founders spent years backpacking through continents, staying in local homes, and discovering that the most memorable travel moments come from authentic connections. That philosophy shapes everything we do today.

Now with a dedicated team of travel specialists, each bringing their own passport full of experiences, we continue to operate with the same passion that started it all. We are not interested in mass tourism. We are interested in you.

What Guides Us

The principles that shape every itinerary we create.

Authenticity Over Crowds

We steer travellers toward genuine experiences rather than tourist traps. Local markets over gift shops. Family restaurants over chain hotels. Real life over staged performances.

Sustainable Exploration

Travel should enrich communities, not exploit them. We partner with locally-owned accommodations and guides, ensuring tourism benefits the places we visit.

Thoughtful Planning

Rush destroys the joy of discovery. Our itineraries build in breathing room, allowing for spontaneous detours and unhurried appreciation of each destination.

Our Approach

Every consultation begins with listening. Where have you always dreamed of going? What kind of traveller are you? Do you crave adventure or relaxation? History or nature? Crowds or solitude?

From there, we draw on our collective experience and network of trusted partners to craft something that fits. Not a generic package pulled from a catalogue, but a journey designed around your interests, timeline, and budget.

Throughout the process, you deal with a dedicated consultant who knows your trip intimately. No call centres. No scripted responses. Just genuine expertise and care.
