the staff member who dealt with us, Gemma, went well beyond what I expected, and all the staff in the shop were helpful. They all contributed with their own experiences for the place we were booking.... See more

Excellent experience as usual. You could do with better equipment as the computer kept going off the young girl who dealt with us was a star.

Fantastic service. Not rushed, plenty of options given. Clare was patient, friendly and very efficient. She has a great knowledge of different locations which was very helpful.

I wouldn’t book with these ever again
I wouldn’t book with these ever again, made my booking in the wrong email so I get no updates and they can’t change it. No correspondence and I go away in less than a month. No information for me to check my booking no help what so ever!!! Book with someone else!

So sorry to hear the frustration regarding your booking. As per conversation before we have a ticket system where we call our customers 28 days before travel. As this day fell on a Sunday and we was closed you would have been called today to discuss your booking/ tickets. Any questions in the future please give us a call and we can discuss any matters or frustrations.
Understood what i wanted very helpful

Sarah is a legend - won’t use anyone else
Sarah is amazing and has been booking my holidays for years. We won’t use anyone else. She’s an absolute star, in 3 years she’s organized Africa, America & Asia for us! The last one was a multi destination with private transfers & she smashed it. That’s why she’s doing another one for 2026. I really can’t recommend her enough. I have also never met her, she’s done all this though email & phone calls, and I am not the easiest customer! Honestly she’s a legend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our service. I know when you came in a few weeks ago Sarah was covering in another branch so you missed her but I'm sure you will meet her one of these days. We want to say a massive thank you for booking with us and for your continued custom. We hope to see you again soon. Have a great Christmas and New Year :)
