Friendly and Efficient Service from Katie

Went into the Houghton le Spring branch and we were greeted by the ever smiley Katie. We had in mind a holiday that we wanted to book but Katie helped us with the finer details. Nothing is ever too much for Katie who is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We also had a query about an existing booking which Katie is looking into for us.

Excellent experience atHays travel Houghton -le -Spring. Two older ladies not having booked package holiday for some time received brilliant help and support from Libby regarding our needs and “wish list” for our holiday in the sun. Libby was extremely patient friendly but professional and got us everything we wanted. Follow up phone call next day regarding new deal re free currency more than welcome and Happy know all documentation for travel will be sorted just to pick up when allowable.
