A Lovely Experience at Hays Travel
Walking through the door I was greeted with the friendly smiling faces of the staff. This made me feel comfortable. Ruby who helped me with my options, for a holiday cruise, explained what was available. Her descriptions were clear. The booking process was easy to follow. The whole process was good and I would certainly go to Hays Travel again.

Relaxed but professional.
Ruby was relaxed and professional throughout our booking of our trip to Krakow. She had been there herself and gave me full details of her experience. She tried her best to book excursions but the tour company needed 30 days advance notice. She did however give the name of a tour company in Krakow in order that I could try to book in advance of getting there. Which we have done.

Wrong booking and poor customer service
Very disappointed with the service they provided to my sons who booked through them on my advice. Ruby told they she booked a twin room with swim up pool so they went ahead with the booking and paid the whole amount due to the holiday being close. Once they arrived home they went through their booking details to show us the holiday they booked. To their surprise there was no swim up pool included and they have been allocated a double bed. So they will have to sleep together. They rang Ruby who took care of the booking. She said she thought she'd booked the swim up pool room but realised they would have to pay £400 pp more for that option. My sons asked if they could change hotel and she suggested to have a look at the TUI website and then come up with a new hotel which they did. When they rang they were basically told they would have to pay 70% penalty of the amount paid as they are requesting a change in the 28 days prior to the holiday (booked the day before). No way to find a compromise or an find an apology. Nothing at all.

First Class Experience
Visited your vine place store. First class service from Ruby and Mel who were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Secured a great deal to New York at a hotel suggested to us by Mel that we hadn’t previously considered.
