Can't thank Hay,s travel enough.

Can't thank Hay,s travel enough.
Especially Bethany who delt with my booking ,to collecting boarding pass,
Nothing is to much trouble when sorting my needs, due to me having a hidden disability,
Care was taken to listen to my requirements and sort all the questions asked.
As to finding a Holiday its easy, no stress of searching, every thing I wanted or seeking was considered.
Came out happy with another wonderful trip booked , and believe me I dont make it easy, wanted to seek information on a few choices.
But never a problem, Hays always strive to find you ,your perfect break.
Thank you yet again .

Have used Hays travel before

Have used Hays travel before, the team are always helpful and friendly, and would recommend booking in person, online isn’t always the cheapest.
Our agent Zoe price matched to an online holiday once cleared with a manager, which meant it cancelled out the additional costs of transfer’s , luggage and adding breakfast’s to our holiday, plus it’s so nice to get that personal service, Zoe was polite and super efficient, another great experience
Many thanks 🙏🏻
