We have used Gold Medal for years, and they are a fantastic tour operator. All their staff are fantastic, providing top service from start to finish. Our most recent experience was with Kate Kinney, who went above and beyond and built a fantastic relationship with us while planning a trip to Dubai and Mauritius. Thanks Kate & Gold Medal!

Cannot stress how easy booking with Nic Rimmer is. I do ALL my Disney Bookings through her and more besides. She is a real asset to the team! Thanks as always Nic!

Layla was truly exceptional at Gold Medal Pure Luxury. I cannot thank her enough for her efficiency and accuracy in putting together my quote/booking. She did an excellent job with a tricky brief and I’m extremely thankful to her. I will be back Layla. Best Wishes, Karra

We booked a holiday through a local travel agent (she is brilliant) for New Zealand the company was gold medal which seemed ok, it was a great holiday but we had issues w the campervan which I thought gold medal should know about.
They have a contact us which doesn't do anything, they also have a customer service link which I did manage to contact them through only to be told that due to security measures I would have to contact the agent.
What is the point of a customer service contact if they don't want or aren't interested in customers contacting them
Apart from campervan issues it was a great holiday

We booked a holiday with TUI through Gold Medal, to Orlando, staying at Disney ( Port Orleans French Quarter) followed by Universal (Endless Summer Dockside.) Both hotels were great but unfortunately we had to cut our stay at Universal short, when our dog became seriously ill. Gold medal helped to arrange an early flight back and obtained a refund for us when Universal charged an early departure fee of $214. We are very thankful to them for their compassion and support when we really needed it. We would highly recommend this company and definitely book through them again.

Roseann at Incredible Journeys was fabulous! Got a great price for my customers wanting to go on a Gadventures tour of South Africa. Nothing was too much travel and all my questions were answered. Would definitely recommend :)

Laura Grunewald was an absolute Star!
I had a Cruise & Stay that a customer wanted to confirm at 8.30pm on a Friday evening, with just 3hr 30 minutes to a Campaign Change and an increase in price. I emailed Laura to let her know that the customer was ready to book and that they were mindful of the increase in price if booked the following day. I had an email back within 15 minutes and the full booking was made in just over an hour. Exceptional service and attention to detail!

I'm incredibly disappointed.. the reality was far from it. The flights were delayed, the hotel was overbooked, and the promised excursions were cancelled at the last minute. To make matters worse, the customer service was appalling. I spent hours on hold, trying to reach someone who could help, but I was met with unhelpful and dismissive representatives. I'm so frustrated!

I had a very complicated enquiry, budget was important to get to, and client wanted a variety of options. Thought Rebecca Lamb had great patience & tenacity and helped me with really expert skill even though she herself was very busy, she gave me a great deal of her time and we got this very nice booking and the client is going to have a wonderful holiday, so thank you Rebecca!
