I felt very welcome when walking into branch.
I felt heard regarding all my concerns with booking my first ever holiday.
The lady was very informative, understanding and patient.
All my needs as a mum with a neurodiverse and coeliac child were met.

I had specialised travel requirements to Zambia, and the sales assistant made detailed checks on the available flights and other requirements for me. She was very helpful throughout and nothing was too much trouble. As a result I have made my booking with Hays travel.
