Going Above and Beyond for Us
Skye and Adrian were both really helpful. We booked a spring break, and they are looking for holidays that fit our description for a week in the autumn. I didn't realise that the shop had closed , and they were certainly going above and beyond for us.

Once again Pamela Kerr exceeded my expectations when booking with Hays Travel. It is always a delight to deal with her and I look forward to booking further cruises in the future with her.
Considerate Staff offering Options
Initially, we were unsure about booking Disney Paris for a short break in Feb next year for my special birthday.
After discussing options with Rebecca in the Gyle store she looked at different options for us and told us to consider what would suit us best. We took a few days to consider options then asked Rebecca to price a different Disney Option which we went on to book. Rebecca gave us lots of advice and was very helpful but above all very professional and a great advert for Hays Travel Company.
Hays Travel Perfect
This was only the second that I used Hays Travel. And like the first I was welcomed by politeness and professionalism. Staff were very helpful and went through manyholiday options to find the holiday I desired.
Prices were very favourable

Top Quality Service
We have been using Hays for only the past 2 years but have been delighted with the service provided for holiday bookings and flights. The attention to detail and comprehensive service offered is totally reassuring when putting together all that is required (connecting flights, seat reservations, airport/hotel transfers, selection of hotels, passport and visa requirements….) which can otherwise be quite daunting.
We are especially grateful to Pamela, manager at Livingston and currently at The Gyle, who looks after our every need and is endlessly patient with us!

Holiday Booking with Joan
We were recommended to speak to Joan about booking our holiday. Joan was amazing and really knows her stuff. Joan was knowledgeable, kind, patient and answered all questions we had. I would highly recommend Joan for booking any holiday and we will book with Joan again. In the futurecI would always wait to see Joan no matter how long the queue was.
