Debbie has been brilliant, helping us sort our holidays. Nothing has been too much trouble and it's taken the stress out of everything, knowing that she's there for us 24/7. We've just booked our third holiday with her and I'm sure there will be many more.

Our travel counselor Debbie, was exceptional attentive to every detail of our vacation. From initial planning to execution and our personal travel. She accompanied us on every leg. Making sure we had everything required and our every need, including refreshment arranging thought of in airports. Debbie thought of more than just travel she asked about plans at airports and made sure we had considered all aspects of the holiday. It was especially thoughtful when on our arrival she had left a personal note in our room, letting us know she was there no matter when or what. Our holiday in the Maldives was a special occasion and it was exceptionally special as the resort and food and ambience were top class. I’ve been to the Burg Al Arab so I’ve a bit experience. This is a different scene but as stunning. The Maldives visit was like going to a different planet, it’s beautiful to see and experience. Having done a lot of my own holiday organizing in the past, it is beyond comprehension how amazing it was to have Debbie arrange so much for us. I have recommended her to friends and family and hope they take the opportunity to seek her services. She has become a valued asset and friend during our recent vacation. Many thanks and applause to her specifically.

Really excellent all round service. Booked a cruise gave us tips on how to save and get the best value on board which was really valuable to us. Also no pressure to book caught up with us a couple of times but left us to make our own informed decision which we liked.

We have just returned from a two week holiday in the Maldives which Debbie Watson Travel organised from start to finish. We knew the Island we wanted to stay so Debbie arranged the whole trip including all transfers to perfection. (3 flights , speedboat and bus) We arrived to fruit and wine in our room. Our guest relations Nipon informed us that our Agent had been in touch and he was there to help in anyway. We even had late room check out and later departure ?? from the Island .
When I say everything was organised by Debbie Watson, I certainly mean it every detail was covered. We will certainly be using her again in the future. Thanks Debbie for all your help wouldn’t have done it without you

Debbie was extremely helpful in booking our first cruise. We sat and had a coffee and chat first to get an idea of what I was after explaining in detail some additional information to make our cruise more enjoyable. Better still we got a great deal thanks to her knowledge and experience.

We love the fact that there's someone there for us 24/7, putting us at our ease and taking the stress off booking holidays. We definitely wouldn't go anywhere else when it comes to booking our holidays abroad.
