I love the idea of booking a holiday with everything included in the price
It's great to have all the tours arranged which means I don't have the hassle of organising them myself I'm always happy with the hotels and the food
If I have any complaints they are always dealt with immediately by the guide or the staff in the hotel
Best wishes Kathleen Flynn

Just back from our DUBROVNIK trip, organised by Travel Department. A great experience from beginning to end, after nine years of no airport visits.
Many thanks to the friendly staff at the end of the phone - our first port of call.

All our trips were well organised. The trip to MOSTAR was an experience. Because it was so early in the tourist season, two of the Elaphite islands really had little to see, tho' thankfully one coffee shop was open. I'm sure in the summer, the island would be really busy.

KORCULA Island is well worth a visit - a beautiful place.

Our Guide –ENIS HRUSTIC was excellent. So helpful and accommodating and above all, patient ! Even organised our airport transfer coming home!
Do remember that Dubrovnik adheres to the 'old' airport rules regarding liquids etc- many of us lost our bottled water as we were not aware of this going thru customs. Do ask for the empty bottle back, as there are plenty of water stations to refill when you get through customs.

A great guide with a perfectly planned relevant itinerary for Egypt.

Just back from an amazing trip to Vietnam with the Travel Department. Such an experience with a wonderful guide Hung. Every hotel that we stayed in was exceptional with great food and great rooms. From day one, right until we arrived home in Ireland we were so well looked after and have made so many new friends and great memories. Can't thank Travel Department enough for this wonderful experience

I have travelled with the TD many times as a solo traveller of senior age. My last trip was Malta and the next one is Transalvania. Without exception from beginning to end the TD is amazing efficient committed to our enjoyment and care. They offer amazing trips full of history and exotic experiences and I love every one of them. Thank you TD.

A great holiday
Well organised

The flights were very early coming and going home. It was very tiring on the first day. When we got to the hotel most people got their keys straight away but we told we had to wait until 3pm. We had arrived there approx 11am Berlin time . So we missed some time of the trip while waiting for room key. Isabel our guide was lovely and knowledgeable. She was very friendly and warmhearted. The drivers were very good too. The shops were closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday . We had a city tour on Saturday and we visited the shops that day too. On Sunday there was no optional trip available so we went to mass and on a boat trip. On Monday morning our flight was very early again. It takes a lot from the trip when we were too tired to fully enjoy it. The hotel was lovely and the staff too. I would go again but later flights. The time in Ireland had gone forward the week before the trip and In Berlin we had to put our time forward another hour.

Just back from trip to Egypt. Excellent hotels and ship . Our holiday was made by our guide Dodi, he was excellent. Very knowledgeable, patient and efficient throughout the trip. Went out of his way to make sure we experienced everything promised!.

The people, the tours, the sun coming out. Visiting the beautiful Cascais, Lisbon and Nazare. The food and the delishicious custard tarts. The lovely reception staff and the very on the ball Manuel who organised the breakfasts for us. The hotel music theme on the bedroom walls was also very retro and funky.

Holiday in Tenerife was wonderful. Lovely tour guides, a feeling of safety in the location, delicious food and clean hotel.

Great destination. Great value. Knowledgeable guides. Enjoyable travel companions.

We wish to say a very sincere and genuine thank you for our most memorable and truly brilliant experience of travelling with you to India's golden triangle recently. Your entire company was brilliant in every way from start to finish and we would also like to highlight that your colleague Caroline Gallagher was extraordinarily above and beyond amazing. Everything for us from the initial booking to the organisation, the tour guide, the ease of travel and the size of the group couldn't have been better. Our trip happened to span the outbreak of the war in the middle east. This is where your company really came into its own. All flights were cancelled travelling through the middle east and so Caroline stepped in to support us and really showed herself to be beyond expert and passionately caring for us. She did this in such a kind and caring way, while still remaining pragmatic and keeping us calm. Caroline was truly brilliant to deal with. So much so, that we have been telling everyone how magic the Travel Department has been since we returned from India, and so now here I am sharing it on Trustpilot. Sincerely thank you for being the company you are. Very best, Tom + Kevin

What an amazing holiday we had recently in Egypt. Well done Travel Department on a well planned and organised trip. The group were great fun and of our guide, Dodi, was fabulous. He shared his vast knowledge with us and made sure everything went smoothly, despite some weather issues! Dodi looked after us with humour, care and patience. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Brill Egypt trip. So comprehensive. Great group and Dodi our guide and teacher simply tops !

I have just returned from the most amazing holiday of my life. Egypt Nile river cruise. From the wonderful sites, Grand Egyption Museum , the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx. To the wonderful hotels and cruise. The people on the trip were so friendly and approachable. I felt i could sit and chat to each and everyone. But the highlight had to be our guide Dodi Fathy. The most knowledgable , interesting , caring , calm guide i have ever encountered. He even had tee shirts for St Patrick's day. Its these ingredients people , guide and fabulous places that made the Egyption experience unforgetable. Thank you Dodi.

We are just back from the trip of a lifetime to Egypt. Our guide Dodí made the holiday very special with his knowledge, expertise as an Egyptologist, sense of humour and eternal patience.He is a very nice man who does an excellent job. We enjoyed all of the holiday but the boat was my favourite- so romantic to be sailing down the Nile. The temples that we visited were incredible and the holiday fulfilled a long time ambition to see them ‘in the flesh’.I usually plan holidays myself but for Egypt you need Dodí and the Travel company.

Just back home from an amazing trip to Egypt - it had it all - wonderful Egyptian sites and culture, a fantastic group of fellow travellers who blended in so well together and Dodi, our travel guide, who can seamlessly share his exceptional knowledge of Egypt with a great sense of fun and humour!
Couldn't recommend this trip highly enough!

Just back from Egypt, had the holiday of a lifetime, met a great bunch of people, tours food every thing organised from start to finish, but my praise goes to dodi,our tour guide,nothing was a bother to him, the information he provided on the tour. Well done dodi
