The travel department had every thing arranged with no delays so well organised. The tour guide was excellent so informative and extremely nice Claudia . The only problem was sitting at the same table... See more
The trip down the Danube was very well organised. The cruise boat,Maxima, was comfortable and well run. Guided tours of six impressive cities en route were enhanced by enthusiastic and informative guides. For the less agile, extensive walking on cobble stoned streets was not easy! Overall a very good experience.
I enjoyed my Vietnam trip greatly The group of people got on very well our guide was helpful and informative I would have preferred our free day to have been earlier in the tour in the beautiful resort by the sea
Great tour guide Manish. Pleasant, amusing and very knowledgeable. Comprehensive tour of Rajasthan's epic sights. Splendours of India tour from Travel Department excels.
Excellent trip. Our guide Carol was amazing. Gave great pointers on places of interest. Very informative and helpful to everyone.
Excellent pre travel service and excellent guide in Greece made for a memorable trip.
Emad was a wonderful experienced and knowledgeable guide. He understood the Irish temperament very well and was patient with all question and queries. He was good humoured and patient and very supportive in dealing with day to day issues.
What made our experience great was our tour guide Carol. She was amazing and so knowledgeable no matter where we went.
I had a marvellous holiday with Travel Department in Rome and Assisi. My holiday experience was enriched by our fabulous guide Alexandra. A very kind and loving woman who took care of all our needs with respect and dignity. A true historian who shared her vast knowledge with passion and love . Without doubt she a shining star in your travel department , a great ambassador.
We travelled to Tuscany with Travel Department in March and we had an amazing time I would highly recommend them to travel with
We had a fabulous time in Vietnam with a great group of people and an extremely knowledgeable and all round great guide. The hotels were fantastic. It would have been a better experience in Halong Bay to actually stay on a boat or return to Hanoi.
I have used a few times and they always come up to and even exceed my expectations. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and mixed with everyone on the tour. The driver was very capable and friendly and helpful. Everyone on the tour were lovely too and made great company.
Accommodation, food, coach, tours were all excellent. The highlight was the wonderful guide, a Greek lady called Dimitri. Her knowledge of history, archaeology, politics,culture etc was amazing and she made the tours so interesting.
I went on a holiday to Egypt with the travel department. I must say the experience was very good. Our tour guide Dodi was excellent he went above and beyond for all of us. We spent time in Cairo, Loxur, and hurgada. The hotels were lovely. I found the cruise basic but the staff were lovely. I'm glad I went but I wouldn't go back as I found the begging and harassment hard to deal with. In saying that Dodi our guide was amazing
First time with Travel Department and planning next trip. So well organised, every age group catered for and we'll looked after.
Excellent guide who accompanied us, and excellent fellow travelers. I was a solo traveler and felt I could chat to everybody in the group.
Very well organised. Excellent Tour guide. Nice hotels
Wonderful trip, amazing with very experienced guide , Gertie made the trip for us.
Amazing trip to Vietnam and great value for money. However, our guide could have been more informative, he lacked enthusiasm and wasn’t very engaging. The language barrier was a bit of an issue. So disappointed that we didn’t get to see the embalmed body of Ho Chi Ming as the queues were too long! All of the hotels were top notch but the “set menus “ for lunch and dinner were only mediocre and we ended up going off the set menus most evenings . One of our coaches lacked adequate ventilation. I believe our experience would have been greatly enhanced if we had a better guide and if we had buffets rather than set menus for the inclusive meals!
The group of people that we where on the Tour with.Our guide they wear amazing,The experience of the Country,just bring there.We wanted to go for Holi to feel the joy of this festival.Everything we saw, the people ,the sights the food .Our group we looked looked out for each other the laughter every day making friends.Our driver and our coach assistant we loved the way they went out of their way to help our group.
My experience with the travel department was amazing. Such a great trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Everything was organised so well. Amazing guide, amazing hotels, amazing day trips with lots of historical information. Food was amazing and delicious. As a solo person I would highly recommend going with you again. I got my confidence back, and our group were lovely, and good fun and laughs. Thank you so much. See you again.
