Helpful, friendly and reliable.

I first came across Silver Travel when visiting a travel show last year. The team were helpful in selecting a couple of trips. Ordinarily, other than responding to the usual settlement invoices, there's very little interaction with the sales team after booking. However, owing to last minute changes in my personal circumstances, I needed support by phone. I was fortunate to deal with Dianne Cox who ensured that, despite my knee jerk cancellation of one of my trips, I did not lose out and my friend was able to enjoy the other trip without me. I have since booked a cruise for later this year and am confident that when Dianne says something will be done, it is. That includes responding to email requests whilst she heself is on holiday. As a previously independent traveller, I'm enjoying the personal touch and will continue to use them going forward.

Jayne Kerrigan once again ensured all our arrangements to Croatia were in place and offered exceptional service and was on hand from booking to returning home. The Maslina resort was outstanding and all the travel arrangements with Jet2 were perfect. Thank you. ,

The holiday to Crete in May 15 to 26 this year…

The holiday to Crete in May this year was lovely..except for the transfers.
No one was there in Heraklion airport to meet us, no one answered the phone.
At 2am a Greek gentleman took pity on us and put us on a Jet2 bus and we walked up a hill to our hotel pushing our suitcases.
No mean feat for 2 elderly ladies!
The return transfer was equally chaotic. We were told to confirm online. Our booking number was unrecognised. Phone calls were not answered. Eventually the hotel confirmed it for us..again a walk with suitcases to the beach road.
Silver Travel are yet to apologise or explain..After 6 weeks of regular emails.

Update..finally offered a refund of £16 to. Over4 transfers. Upped it to £20.
A week has passed.. no refund.

Hi Valerie, I am so sorry to hear of the problems you experienced with the transfers on your holiday - please accept my sincere apologies. It's incredibly disappointing when our suppliers let our customers down and don't provide the service we expect. We are in contact with the supplier in question in this case and have logged an official complaint with them. Their response has taken longer than expected but please be assured we are doing everything we can to obtain a response and resolution for you. We'll be in touch with an update as soon as possible, and apologies once again.

Another great holiday organised by Jayne Kerrigan

Another great holiday organised by Jayne Kerrigan. We went to South Africa so it was important that it was well organised and it certainly was. Jayne sorted out the flights both international and internal, all private transfer and three different hotels including the safari. Everything went well and we had a great time. Would certainly recommend Jayne for booking a holiday

Jayne

We have been talking to Jayne for over 4 years (thanks to Covid) but we finally managed to get away on our dream holiday. We must have sent hundreds of emails to Jayne and she was always there to help, no matter how big or small. In fact she's that good, we have booked 2 more holidays with her and trust her with everything.

Silver Travel Advisor - Sue Lord

I bless the day I first phoned Silver Travel Advisor and spoke to Sue Lord. From the outset she was friendly and understanding, and she is extremely knowledgable. When my last holiday encountered an issue, Sue dealt with it in a professional manner and resolved it, remaining patient and supportive at all times. Sue also advised me when I decided to go on my first cruise and went the extra mile to find me a cabin in a great location on the ship, Queen Anne. I feel as though I haven’t just found a great travel agent, I have also found a friend.

Went the extra mile

We met Sue Lord months ago at a travel show, when we were hoping to arrange a trip to Australia. We told Sue we wanted to discuss the trip in June, and in June, she gave us a call. She worked extremely hard to put together a trip that met our requirements, but in the end, we were all stymied by the ridiculously high airfare. Our second choice was the Caribbean, and Sue found us a luxury cruise on a yacht that looks spectacular. We now can't wait till the trip in February! We can't say enough about Sue's professionalism and friendliness.

Excellent service

Excellent service. My Dad is an older gentleman and so he needed a tailor made service. We’ve looked at hundreds of cruises but the one Deborah managed to find is the only one he felt confident enough to book. She was very reassuring and able to print out and send physical copies to him too, because he likes to have a pack with him when he travels and doesn’t have a printer. She’s now looking for a holiday for me now too. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Experience with Kerry: Made Our Dream Holiday a Reality!

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Kerry regarding a bucket list holiday, and her advice has been absolutely invaluable. My partner and I had been trying to plan this trip ourselves for quite some time, but Kerry stepped in and took all the stress out of organising our complicated itinerary. She even provided us with a couple of fantastic options to choose from, tailored perfectly to our interests and needs. Her expertise and helpfulness made the whole process so much easier and more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking to plan a dream holiday!

Excellent experience finding and booking the right expedition

Kerry listened to what we were after and kept a look out for the right trip and deal. There was no pressure and all questions we had were answered promptly and efficiently.
I did find the website daunting with the information being found in different parts through links. This is where Kerry was very patient and able to answer the questions I couldn’t easily find the answers to.
