Have used Hays travel before

Have used Hays travel before, the team are always helpful and friendly, and would recommend booking in person, online isn’t always the cheapest.
Our agent Zoe price matched to an online holiday once cleared with a manager, which meant it cancelled out the additional costs of transfer’s , luggage and adding breakfast’s to our holiday, plus it’s so nice to get that personal service, Zoe was polite and super efficient, another great experience
Many thanks 🙏🏻

I never give 5 stars because there’s always room for improvement. But I will say the staff were friendly helpful polite and obliging. I haven’t used a travel agent for 15 years , I will say I will recommend the Above Bar Branch in Southampton
