Queues too long for hot meals
Croatia Holiday
The hotel was immaculate, a wide range of facilities, excellent food and fabulous cocktails. Every trip was very well organised, the entire holiday was completely stress free with a great range of activities and trips. It is an excellent location and our trip coincided with a three day music festival in Vodice, the range and standard of music was superb. The was an extensive range of shops selling clothes, jewellery, souvenirs and artisan products. There was a wide range of bars and restaurants to choose from with multilingual, friendly and helpful staff. Overall a fantastic holiday.

I chose this holiday because of it's wonderful itinerary in one of my favourite countries. I was'nt disappointed. The hotel was ideally situated in Cannes. Lovely food, accomodation was great, -very clean and well maintained.
Our tour guide had exceptional knowledge of each place we visited both when we arrived and anything interesting or relevant en route.She was very pleasant and interesing. Making sure everyone was safe crossing busy streets and offering advice on where to visit on our free times, train/ ferry times etc.
Trip to French Riviera
Just returned from 7 nights holiday in the beautiful Cote d’Azure with the very well organised Travel Department. Booking was easy and straightforward online- updated with timely emails in order to check in for flights etc. Stayed in Eden Hotel, Cannes. Lovely location as central to browse the beautiful shops and a short 10 min stroll to the promenade and beach. Staff in hotel very welcoming, buffet breakfast delicious with plenty of choice , hotel spotlessly clean. Rooms very comfortable, however I would strongly suggest that a mirror is placed over the dressing table like piece of furniture - one dimly lit bathroom mirror not sufficient for customers sharing a twin room. Also, I do not agree that there should be a €20 per day fee to avail of the rooftop pool- should be part of the service.
Our tour kind Anke was absolutely wonderful-a real gem- such a lovely lady who looked after us all so well from pick up at airport until the day we departed. She was very informative- had all the history and information we needed for day trips to our various locations - and delivered it all with a sense of humour! Thankyou Anke and Travel Department for facilitating such a lovely holiday.
Bath too difficult to get into for…
Bath too difficult to get into for older people plus having to pay 20re to sunbathe in hotel ridiculous. Fantastic Guide, so interesting and a bit of fun, so well organised for every trip and Anna’s knowledge was a great bonus. Lovely comfy hotel and well positioned and best of all fab brekki buffet, yummy. Such a beautiful place, wud like a few more solos but great crowd
Amalfi Coast
Amalfi Coast, TD Active, stayed at Hotel Paradiso, Castellamare Di Stabia. Meals very very poor quality, quite unacceptable. Would not recommend. Also, there were 33 people in our group, so too many for a "walking" holiday.
Laura our tour guide was absolutely.
Laura our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and looked after all our needs with a smile and laugh. Luccia was also a breath of fresh air and led us in singing Nessun Dorma during our tour.Fantastic people. The Tuscany Tour should be on everyone’s bucket list.
The Grand Hotel Menaggio in Lake Como…
The Grand Hotel Menaggio in Lake Como was amazing mainly due to the spectacular views. The hotel itself was lovely and the staff were great. Overall all of our excursions started promptly on time and lived up to expectations. Our main guide Carol was excellent, gave just enough and clear information throughout, with a bit of humour thrown in. Our guide in Milan was also excellent as were all the drivers. Would recommend the Travel Department trips based on this, my first one with them.

Everything
Maderia walking holiday
Very well organised, from the moment we met our guide at the airport the holiday ran very smoothly with no issues, hotel was fantastic, the bus was modern and clean, packed lunches were very good and Sergio our guide who was native to Maderia couldnt have been any better.
would gladly book another holiday with TD Travel.
Lovely being met at the airport
Lovely being met at the airport. Claudia was an excellent guide, as were all the guides in each city we visited. The hotel in Montecatini was wonderful and all the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Dissappointed
Room was dissappointing not enough places to hang clothes, no safe ,air con not working at times ,unable to put umbrellas up at pool ,food particularly breakfast was poor
The Italian experience
From the time of booking the holiday at T.D. in Arnotts i found it to be a very friendly and professional experience. The holiday itself was idea for a solo traveller and for anyone looking to sample what Italy has to offer. It was excellent.
Can you confirm this time please, why the name Michael Barry comes up on my submission. Please let me know.
