Itineary fantastic. Some hotels were poor. Guests were denied coffee and given an inadequate breakfast bag when leaving at 5 am to travel to another location. My first time travelling with them and they did not meet my expectations or in my view live up to their reviews.

Dreadful customer services – firstly advised us that the flight was overbooked two weeks before the holiday – secondly lack of communication resulted in nobody being at the airport to meet the flight. Thank goodness that Jelena came to the rescue. She is an absolute asset to the organisation and rectified the situation.

Booked Christmas river cruise , two months before travel phoned to say we had to travel 4 hours by coach rather then flying to the nearest airport. This wasn’t what we wanted as we were only going for 4 days and would eat into our time. Would only refund part of our deposit. Absolutely disgusting. Definitely wouldn’t recommend

Have had a river cruise booked since 2019 for 2020 which was cancelled in 2020 and 21. Finally thought we were going this year but due to unforseen circumstances had to cancel and rearrange for next year. Every time we have been dealt with efficiently and professionally. Looking forward to next year.
