Thank you for the lovely comments, we are happy we have been able to get you sorted again and appreciate you booking with us again.
Great vibe, excellent assistance.
I always use Hays for assistance with my travel plans because the staff in your Ridley Street, Newcastle branch are so friendly, professional and thorough. They really do seem to care, not just because they have a professional obligation but because they’re just good people. It’s a great vibe. They respond to queries quickly and whether I’m the 1st or the 101st customer of the day, the care and consideration I’ve always been given is the same.

We are so pleased to hear you had such a positive experience with us! We hope you have a wonderful trip!
Good face to face service.
Everything was handled to my satisfaction after the Hays rep. Laura did her best to find a holiday that fitted our criteria.
We recently returned from a Fjords cruise which did not go according to plan and the email I sent to Hays was forwarded by them to Olsen. Subsequently I received a generic reply from Olsen but no emails from Hays which was disappointing.
