Reviews repeatedly praise helpful agent support and many smooth bookings. Several customers say hotels and travel plans met or exceeded expectations. A smaller number describe serious operational issues, including poorly handled cancellations and one report of an advertised transfer not being provided. Overall, day-to-day service looks strong, but problems show up when plans change.
Examples from available reviews (May 2017 – Mar 2026).
Amazing experience with staff who were extremely helpful.
“Amazing experience and extremely helpful”
Annie guided us through booking and offered accessible ticketing options.
“Annie was so helpful all the time”
Flight cancellation was poorly handled and customer service was unresponsive.
“Good if everything goes to plan but if it doesn't you are on your own!”
Advertised airport transfer was not honoured and staff were unhelpful.
“false and misleading advertising.”
Reviewers often name specific agents and describe them as knowledgeable, patient, and proactive during booking. Fewer comments mention service that felt only moderately helpful or unhelpful, and these lower-rated notes sometimes sit alongside otherwise positive experiences.
Many customers say they got good value when the package matched expectations and staff found competitive options. Other reviews mention unexpected price increases and at least one case where an advertised transfer was not provided, mainly in low-rated feedback.
Many reviews describe a guided, straightforward booking process, with staff helping at each step. A smaller group points to issues with certain airlines and unclear travel documents that made the trip harder.
Several reviewers highlight hotels and holiday arrangements that met or exceeded expectations, with booked stays delivered as promised. Critical comments focus more on third-party issues, such as transfers and airline disruption, than on hotel standards.
Customers often praise phone and email contact for being clear and easy to reach, with prompt, helpful replies from named staff. Other accounts describe poor support during flight cancellations, plus slow or missing responses from customer services when disruptions occurred.
Most reviewers report high satisfaction and say they would use the agency again, citing the booking experience and holiday quality. Sharp negative stories about cancellations and misleading transfer information stand out against these positive outcomes.
For each review, the core experience based on original source reviews.
