We found all the staff at Hays travel very polite and friendly. When we inadvertently got the wrong date for our booking Arran kindly changed it very quickly for us.

The best first experience of Italy!
The Hays Travel team at Allestree have once again organised an excellent holiday for myself and my husband to Italy. They list to my requests, adjust, clarify and overall provide a great service!

Really glad I went to Hays rather than booking online independently
Really glad I went to Hays rather than booking myself. Kelly asked questions I wouldn't have thought of and made sure I had the support I needed for my health conditions. She also made sure my cabin was not under the theatre. She had a deck plan of the ship so I could make informed choices. Really good unhurried personalised experience.

Didn't have to wait to be seen
Didn't have to wait to be seen. Emmie was our advisor & very helpful she was. Told her what we wanted & when, she then brought up our options & prices. All in all a very easy & painless process.
Only negative, the AC was too high, it was cold sitting in the place & we weren't there very long.

Apologies that the temperature was too cold for you in store, we are more than happy to change the temperature to our customers comfort levels, we always disagree ourselves whether we want it on or not, so you can be our decider!
Kindest regards,
