Booked a trip in January to Lake Como in June. I requested a " quiet room " when making the booking. I got a noisey and tiny room on the first floor of The Grand Hotel Menaggio overlooking a busy road.TD had six months to honor or reject this request, but sat on their hands. Hotel staff and Rep were great. Pity about the room

Morocco, a country well worth experiencing
We had a very enjoyable holiday recently in Morocco with a lovely group of people. There were 12 of us, an ideal size as we travelled in a minibus and covered big distances each day. Our guide, Hamel, and our bus driver were excellent. Staying in different Riads most nights was a new experience as was our camel ride through the desert! An amazing country and way of life, especially the Souks, well worth experiencing. Well done TD Active!

CLASSIC TUSCANY
We had a great holiday on the "classic Tuscany" tour with the travel dept.
The hotel was lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was also good in the hotel with a pizza place just across the road for lunch on free days. The area of Monticatini was a lovely town to stay in.The tour guide Claudia was brilliant and so helpful. She was always checking to see if we were all doing ok. The itinerary was good too and the rest days were very welcome after the tour days. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone as having the tour days all organised for us was great.
It was a very enjoyable holiday indeed and we would consider another one in the future.

Tuscany solo
Max was an excellent guide and went the extra mile for everyone.
The hotel was in a great location,but the room was rather spartan, the shower was not great, and there were not enough clothes hangers.
Access to a pool in a heatwave would have been desirable. Otherwise , I was very happy with the organisation.

Excellent experience.
Guide, Anka, was fantastic. Very punctual, knowledgeable and approachable. Excursions were interesting and worthwhile. Optional trip to Monaco and Monte Carlo was awesome. Hotel Eden was central, near sea front, accommodation and breakfast were first class and staff were excellent. Plenty to do on “rest” days. Cannes was a delight.

Activity based holiday
Although the holiday feels expensive it actually works out ok as nearly everything is covered once you reach your destination, particularly on an activity based trip with TD Active where a packed lunch is also included.

The best way to travel
Travel Dept is the best way to go on a relaxing holiday and not be bothered with trying to arrange tours and where to go. Loved every minute of it.

krakow city break
Just back from 4 night city break.
Hotel was lovely. Good range of breakfast food. Staff were friendly in reception.
Krakow easy city to navigate __ excellent and great value tram services _ machines at stops and accept card __ Over 70's go free!.
Everywhere in the city accepts card payments.
One mention __ if you want to go to Auschwitz ___ book ahead. We were there over a weekend so tickets were not available for the saturday.
The Salt Mines were fascinating.
Paulina our guide was lovely and friendly and helpful with any queries.
All in all a very nice breakaway with usual good organisation by Travel Department.
