Spoke with Reece, he remembered me from previous bookings. Made the booking process easy, pulling up my details already recorded. He's friendly and professional.

Bespoke trip for no more than a package

Sophie booked us a bespoke package so we could go on the days we wanted and found much nicer hotels than we had seen on packages. It is just what we wanted.

It was a very pleasant and welcoming experience. We really appreciated the help from the staff member and she worked to help us find the right holiday with the right price. We didn’t feel pressured in anyway. A very personable and friendly service.

Two trips

Two trips - one in Europe - one International - From start to finish, the team arranged both trips smoothly and confidently, giving me peace of mind. I would highly recommend the Ipswich branch to anyone looking for a travel agent that genuinely listens, guides and delivers. A truly outstanding team.

Always book with a travel agent

Sophie booked our holiday and we left happy. She then rang us to inform us that the price we had paid did not include flights! This was in no way her fault. The company she booked with never once once mentioned this. They even asked what airport we wanted to travel from. Sophie asked what airlines they used, so the man booking the holiday had plenty of opportunity to tell us that flights were not included! Sophie and Reece worked hard to get another holiday as close as to the one we had booked. This one included flights and also added private transfers on. First class service as always. Will always recommend Hays Travel

I met Ele the travel consultant at the Ipswich branch when booking my first holiday 2 years ago. Her knowledge and expertise, friendly approach and being so helpful she now knows what kind of holiday place I would like. I can email her destinations and she will reply promptly with hotels and flights and links for things to do there. Ele is great!

Booking flights to Australia

Tiffany was extremely helpful and advised us on booking a long haul flight to Australia. As we'd never booked long haul before we wanted some guidance and support to do this. Very haapy with the flights we booked.

The best possible service

The young man that served us was extremely polite and exceptionally good at his job, his knowledge helped us both choose a fantastic hotel at the best possible price. Me and my wife are both in our mid sixties and haven’t been on holiday for several years, we were both a bit nervous, we needn’t have worried at all.
Thank you and regards
Mick
