My customer stories

Sent by Deji Olojugba

Debbie was very detailed and considered all aspects of our travel requests. She took the hassle out of our hands, understanding how time constrained we were. She was extremely patient and was focused on getting the right deal for us. We found her to be extremely knowledgeable and resourceful, good at what she does. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends, family and colleagues.

Debbie arranged an amazing trip of a lifetime to Vietnam & Cambodia. Would highly recommend using Debbie for a completely stress free experience! Everything from the flights, hotels, transfers, private tours and internal travel was seamless. Debbie came up with various suggestions to suit our budget and preferences. The holiday we had was absolutely incredible...5* service, thank you!

Sent by Tracey O'Leary

Debbie provided me with a wonderful range of options, and helped find the most perfect surprise getaway, filled with little treats along the way (eg;helicopter ride/sunset cruise). It was so easy and Debbie was a pleasure to work with. I couldn't be happier and have already started telling my friends what a wonderful experience I've had. I couldn't recommend more. Thank you.

I found Debbie to be very helpful and nothing was a bother to her. She had all the information I asked for and needed. I will definitely be passing Debbie’s details on to my friends and I will be more than happy to book another holiday with her.

Sent by Karen Fisher

Debbie was very easy to contact & extremely approachable. She is very knowledgeable & I was confident that every aspect of my holiday had been considered & planned. Nothing was too much trouble, for example, I requested a different room to what was the standard to book and Debbie sorted this without hesitation. If you want to save yourself hours of comparison & stress, comparing different holidays, flights, rooms, trying to get what’s right for you, then I can’t recommend Debbie enough. It such a straightforward & stress free way to book. I will use her going forwards for future trips.
