Amazing service
Amazing service, Samantha was very knowledgeable and really good - she is an asset to your team. I will definitely be using Hays again
Samantha Simpson is a pleasure to book with
This is the 2nd year that I have booked a holiday with Samantha Simpson and both times she has been courteous, very friendly, easy to communicate with and has made my booking experience a positive one
Great experience
Was offered 4 different holidays to suit my small budget and was given time to look into them and decide what was best for us. Quick , friendly and efficient service.
NHS Salary Sacrifice Scheme
I booked a break to Amsterdam through my NHS salary sacrifice scheme and this couldn't have been any easier. I dealt with Samantha who put me together a package so quickly that involved everything I had asked for at a great price too! I would definitely use Hays Travel again in the future!
great customer service
Retro booking system
The person who finally booked our holiday was very helpful. The slightly low rating I have given is due to the archaic booking process for NHS staff. Having to book a holiday on the phone made me feel like I was back in the 1980s and it did not always seem easy to check out suggestions online. Haven't been on the holiday yet, but hopefully that side of things will all be good!
Extraordinary Support
The main strength lies in the team's support, as they diligently inquire about all necessary details to secure the most cost-effective options while prioritizing the best service for me. My experiences with Hays have consistently been exceptional, prompting me to recommend their services to my friends, who have since reached out to them.

From the start, she was incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable, making the whole process so much easier for us. She took the time to understand our needs and ensured every detail was covered, offering great suggestions that made our trip even better.
