Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand

I enquired about a trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand to celebrate our retirement. The enquiry was picked up by Shane who was exceptionally helpful through all my endless questions. He fitted a package together to suit our needs and checked often about our thoughts. He always seemed to be available on WhatsApp and gave me information on everything I needed. I booked because Shane was excellent and we are really looking forward to our trip in February 2027. Price was good, service in planning was perfect, big thank you to Shane! He made it so easy ☺️

We booked our Japan & Vietnam trip through Ava Grace at Holiday Bay and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. We received a really good deal and the whole process was smooth, easy and well organised. Communication was excellent throughout and everything was handled professionally, which made planning a multi-destination trip feel completely stress-free.

We’re really excited for the trip and appreciate all the help in putting everything together. Great value and great service — would definitely recommend Ava Grace and would happily book again in the future.

Reached out after seeing a great advert and was contacted very quickly. They took time out to discuss exactly what was looking for. They tailored a package perfectly and made adjustments to suit and despite me opting to not move forward were extremely polite and professional. Will be reaching out again!

Thank you Becky for our perfect vacation

I first came across Holiday Bay on Instagram/Facebook and left an enquiry regarding a trip I was interested in.

Becky approached me in the most delicate, professional, and diplomatic way. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our requirements and preferences, asked all the right questions, and provided several excellent options that suited both our budget and travel goals.

She carefully explained the itinerary, showed us the hotels we would be staying in, and walked us through the places we would be visiting, which gave us complete confidence in our booking. Throughout the process, Becky was attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to finding the best possible solution for us.

I would highly recommend Becky and Holiday Bay to anyone looking for a travel company that truly listens to its clients, takes their needs into account, and delivers outstanding service. She made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable.

Thank you very much, Becky. We are already looking forward to our upcoming trip and to planning many more adventures with your help in the future. I have no doubt that any future trips will be just as thoughtfully organised and enjoyable.

Just want to give a shout out to Joshua who helped me thru this nightmare (for me) trying of booking a holiday to the Far East. He was nothing but polite and very helpful for a novice like myself. Unfortunately my circumstances had changed and was no longer able to go. I felt sorry for Joshua for putting all that hard work in. But Joshua was never pushy or annoyed but understanding of my situation. Thank you Joshua for your help. I will be back.

service provided by this travel agency and would not recommend them based on my experience.
Our holiday to Japan and China was negatively affected by a series of failures in communication and customer service. The airline informed the agency approximately three months in advance that our outbound flight had been cancelled and that we had been transferred to an earlier morning flight. However, the agency never informed us of this change. As a result, we lost an entire day of our holiday and several pre-booked activities that were non-refundable.
The agency also claimed that our contact details had been updated with the airline, but this was never done. Because we were booked through a third party, we were unable to manage our reservation directly, receive flight updates, or easily resolve issues with the airline ourselves.
The problems continued on our return journey. The flight voucher provided by the agency listed the departure time in a confusing and misleading format, which contributed to us missing our flight. When we contacted the agency for assistance, we were quoted extremely high fees to change our tickets.
What was most disappointing was the lack of support. We explained that our credit card had been blocked and that we were struggling to make immediate payment while stranded abroad. Rather than helping us find a solution, we were repeatedly told that nothing could be done until money was transferred. We even identified cheaper direct flight options ourselves and suggested them to the agency, but little assistance was provided.
A travel agency should make travel easier and provide support when problems arise. Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. The poor communication, inaccurate information, and lack of customer care caused unnecessary stress, financial loss, and the real possibility of being unable to return home on time.
I hope the agency reviews its procedures and improves its customer service so that other travellers do not experience similar issues.

Dear Alexandra,

I hope you are doing well.

My name is Adam, and I am the Senior Manager at Holiday. I have personally reviewed your booking and the concerns you raised regarding your recent trip to Japan and China. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am genuinely sorry that your holiday did not meet the standard of service we aim to provide.

After carefully reviewing your case, I would like to explain what happened and offer a fair resolution.

Regarding your outbound journey, I completely understand your disappointment at missing the first day of your holiday. Your airline made a schedule change due to the significant operational disruptions affecting many carriers at the time, largely caused by the conflict in the Middle East and resulting airspace restrictions.

Although airlines normally notify travel agents of such changes, there are occasions where notifications are delayed or not received. Unfortunately, this meant the change was not communicated to you before departure. While the disruption was outside our direct control, we recognise that we should have provided a smoother experience.

Once we became aware of the issue, we worked to secure an alternative flight for the following day and absorbed the additional cost ourselves to ensure you could continue your holiday. Although we cannot undo the inconvenience, we would like to offer a partial refund for the missed day together with a Holiday travel credit voucher as a gesture of goodwill.

Regarding your return journey, we have reviewed the travel documents issued. The departure time shown as 12:50 AM is the standard international format used by airlines worldwide to indicate a flight departing shortly after midnight. Unfortunately, we cannot change how airlines display departure times on their tickets, as these documents are generated directly by the airline's reservation system.

We are very sorry that this misunderstanding resulted in you missing your flight. However, after reviewing the circumstances, we do not believe this was caused by an error on our part, and therefore we are unable to offer compensation relating to the return journey.

Please be assured that we never intentionally place our customers in difficult situations. Throughout your booking, our team genuinely tried to assist, including arranging replacement flights despite the financial loss to our business.

We understand why you felt frustrated and respect your decision to share your experience publicly. However, we hope that after considering the circumstances and our proposed goodwill gesture, you may reconsider your review. While we accept that we could have communicated better regarding the outbound schedule change, many of the issues arose from airline operational disruptions beyond our control.

We value your custom and hope you will allow us the opportunity to resolve this matter amicably by accepting our goodwill compensation for the missed day of your holiday and the travel credit towards a future booking.

Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I look forward to hearing from you and hope we can reach a positive resolution.
