Marney was incredibly helpful over our 2 visits. We went in not really knowing where we wanted to go. Her excellent knowledge about the different locations resulted in us booking a holiday in Italy. N... See more

Our experience was made great by Evita. It was mostly your travel consultant, EVITA. I had spoken to her three times prior to actually booking. A solo trip to Australia is completely out of my co... See more

My first experience with a travel agency

Considering it was the first day back from holiday for your agent and returning to work the young lady was excellent. She endeavoured to get us the best deal. I cannot fault her with the booking, checked about Our passports and also offered to help further on with boarding passes etc. I have always in the past done the holiday bookings myself online so this was my first experience via a travel agent. Very good service

Sold overpriced package

We were sold a package that was much more expensive than the prices we found later with a quick search. No apology and no offer to make amends. This is very disappointing seeing that we have been loyal customers for many years. We are perfectly capable of booking our own holidays online and will not be using Hays in future.

Good Afternoon Mr Cardus,

Thank you again for your feedback, the cheaper cost we believe was obtained by seperate elements thus not making it a protected package holiday with the ATOL/ABTA benefits that we provide.

We do apologise for the disappointment this may have caused however we are always here to help you and assist you with your bookings.

Kind Regards,
Hays Travel Chelmsford

Channel Delight

Took note of what we wanted, although I had already found the hotel and airport we wanted to fly from.
Suggested airport parking and got a good rate which was helpful.

Debbie, in the Chelmsford store was more than helpful in arranging our holidays. She worked very hard to get us the holidays we wanted.
She and all the staff were very friendly.
