Mobile is packed with exciting places to discover. Start the day in the right way with breakfast at one of Mobile’s favourite breakfast places- Spot of Tea; end the day with superb city views and dinner at Dauphin’s, featuring local art, a piano bar and delicious dishes.  Step back in time with a visit to the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, home to its namesake battleship as well as an aircraft pavilion, submarine USS DRUM and other tanks, boats, planes and memorials scattered around the park. See the Mobile Tensaw River Delta from a new perspective on a sunset cruise or discover the birthplace of Mardi Gras at Mobile Carnival Museum, with an exclusive collection of historical photographs, costumes, floats and masks.

The next stop on your History and Music of the Southern Shores trip is Orange Beach, where you’ll be staying at the unique, eco-friendly The Lodge at Gulf State Park in an unparalleled beachfront location where sea turtles lay their eggs among the natural sand dunes. Take a dip in the Gulf front pool and listen to the sound of the waves hitting the shore or head to the fitness centre for a challenging workout to get your muscles moving. After working up an appetite for sumptuous, freshly-prepared food, head to Perch, boasting Gulf views and a welcoming ambiance, or Foodcraft, with fun-filled dining ideal for families. Dine indoors or embrace the beachfront vibe and dine on the patio. Grab a coffee by day or wine by night at Roasted Oak or get a cold towel, refreshing drink or snack from The Dragonfly by the pool.

Guestrooms at The Lodge at Gulf State Park feature panoramic Gulf or State Park views so you can stay connected to the outdoor world whilst enjoying the comfort of your custom-designed Hilton Serenity Bed and the bright, contemporary atmosphere.

Travelplanners provide a fantastic, friendly service and will not be beaten on price. They want you to be happy from start to finish. David recently organised my trip to Vegas and was honestly so friendly and efficient and as usual found the best deal for us. Thank you for everything David, will be back again next year.

Tyler
Tyler is your man! After having tried the high street and ‘main stream’ travel agents and tried to have a go at building our own holiday with little success I decided to email Travel Planners late one night with a rough outline of our hopes for a multi destination trip to America. The very next morning I received a call from Tyler Vockel.
Paula
This travel company was recommended to me by a work colleague over a discussion about road trips in California. I had tried for months comparing prices with quite a few travel operators for travel to California in 2025. I was advised to try Travel Planners for their competitive prices, and personal customer services. Having given them a try, I was put through to Paula Stanton whom I gave my proposed itinerary.
Shirin
Shirin couldn't have done any more for me. She was so polite, helpful and full of enthusiasm. Thank you Shirin.
Excellent service.

We found Paul ( C ) very helpful and understanding when looking into our request for our fly drive holiday to the USA. We have used Paul over numerous years for booking our flights too the United States..

Stephen M
Stephen helped us to book our 2 week holiday to Orlando, and the whole process was seamless from start to finish! Stephen was extremely knowledgeable and was more than happy to give us some “top tips” along the way…he stayed in contact via email, answering my countless questions (sorry!!) and managed to find us the very best possible deal. The booking process was very efficient and I would not hesitate to book with them again in the future! Thank you ☺️
