My husband and I have been travelling with Travel Department on holidays for many years. Always excellent. So I thought I would leave a review this time as we have just booked another trip this year( the fourth)!
I would like to give very special mention for Cera who I normally book with by telephone. She is simply outstanding and a delight to deal with. Always friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. A joy to book with. Pauline Dempster.

Cinzia our guide was excellent and Christina our guide for Capri was also excellent. Our guide to Pompeii was also very knowledgeable. Cannot remember her name.
Let Travel Department do the organising
Booked Sorrento Coast, Pompeii & Capri, it was fabulous. Stayed in the beautiful hotel jaccarino. This is a great holiday when everything is planned for you, you just show up! Also you get a few days to yourself to relax or further exploring.

I really enjoyed the tour of nerja and Costa del sol as the tour guide was friendly and the other people. I like going on a coach tour as I don't want to get a bus or train as I could get lost. I enjoy the company of the other people as we all enjoy sightseeing. Niall Donnelly
Well organized and enjoyable
Well organized. Excellent accommodation, food and drinks. Internal trips were excellent and well described. Friendly fellow travelers made the trip even better. The balance between travel and rest days was excellent also. We really enjoyed Sicily!

But the delay in Naples airport for 90 minutes unacceptable
Great organisation, fantastic company
A great travel company, this is my 4 th trip . I find it especially good for a solo traveller, you meet lovely people. Absolutely everything was organised perfectly. Excellent guide, driver and hotel accommodation. Will definitely book a trip again in the near future.

Travel Dept do exactly what they say they will do. Very well organised holidays. A bit expensive though. A €200 discount on 7 day holidays would be nice.
