About BFC

Small enough to think differently.

Experienced enough to know what matters. Founded in the UAE in 2007, BFC is a boutique international travel-management company working across the UK, the UAE and beyond.

Who we are

A boutique operator by choice.

BFC was founded in the UAE in 2007. Today we create and manage purposeful educational and experiential travel, including UK residentials, international curriculum-led journeys and specialist group programmes.

We stay close to the brief, engaged with the details and focused on creating experiences people couldn’t simply pull from a catalogue.

Who you’ll work with

A small team, deliberately.

BFC is led by our Founder and Director, who designs programmes and is accountable for safeguarding. Around a small core team we work with experienced freelance trip managers, guides and workshop leaders we know well, chosen for each journey.

You’ll know by name who is designing your programme and who is travelling with your group, before you commit.
