Process was easy

Process was easy

amit was helpful, my only criticism was I was called on Sunday morning and everything including payment had to be done there and then. I was not at home so was a little inconvenient. However, if that is Viva Holidays policy, this is not a criticism of Amit, who was polite and helpful.

Great experience booking this evening with Vaibhav taking me through the whole process. He even noted that we would be flying out to Las Vegas on my husband’s birthday and suggested we could fly a day earlier which we decided to do. Courteous, helpful and patient. Hopefully the holiday in 2027 will go as smoothly as the booking process. Thank you Vaibhav!

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback.

We’re thrilled to hear that Vaibhav provided such a smooth and enjoyable booking experience for you this evening. It’s great to know he was able to guide you through the process with patience, courtesy, and helpful suggestions — especially recommending flying out a day earlier to make your husband’s birthday trip to Las Vegas even more special!

Your kind words will mean a lot to Vaibhav, and we’ll be sure to share your appreciation with him.

We truly hope your 2027 holiday is every bit as fantastic and seamless as your booking experience, and we can’t wait to be part of your exciting journey!

Time consuming and frustrating

I will avoid details our holiday plans to avoid identifying the courteous agent I spoke with.

My problem is with what I experienced as a time-consuming (40 minutes), unnecessary, deeply frustrating upselling/upgrade process. Maybe the agents are on some sort of commission requiring them to review every aspect of your holiday in order to find and offer an improvement or upgrade. These upgrades inevitably cost and, come the end of the call, you find that the reasonably priced holiday has rocketed to hundreds of pounds more than the original offer and you’ve lost the best part of an hour that you will never get back.

Dear Dughall,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We are sorry to hear that you found the booking process frustrating and more time-consuming than expected, although we do appreciate your recognition of the courteous service provided by our travel advisor.

As a UK package holiday provider, our advisors take customers through the available flight, hotel, baggage, transfer, protection, and upgrade options to ensure travellers are fully informed before confirming their booking. This process is intended to provide transparency and allow customers to tailor their holiday according to their preferences and budget.

We would also like to clarify that any upgrades or additional services discussed during the call are entirely optional, and customers are under no obligation to accept any additional costs. Our aim is always to present the available choices so travellers can decide what best suits their requirements.

That said, we do understand your comments regarding the length of the call and appreciate you sharing your experience. Feedback such as yours is valuable and helps us continue reviewing and improving our booking experience for future customers.

Warm regards,
Team Viva Holidays

Ask for Diya

I called after seeing an advertisement on Facebook and spoke to Diya. She was courteous, professional, personable and knowledgeable. Any queries were answered promptly and I booked the holiday largely because of Diya. I hugely recommend Diya.

Above and beyond the call of duty!!!

I have recently booked a twin city holiday in Italy with Viva who I have never used before, and I have to say my travel consultant Diya, went above and beyond the call of duty and certainly earned her money trying to assist me! I was specifically looking for a garden or rooftop terrace for breakfast and was limited by potential dates and budget, but the entire time she was courteous patient and very professional in spite of the numerous times that I kept going back with alternative combinations and suggestions for her to quote for me. I'm very happy to say that she was able to come up with a package that ticked all the boxes for me and I can't wait to go. Thank you Diya for helping make the planning as hassle and stress-free as possible.
