Amazing experience!!

I am currently on my second holiday booked with Very Holidays. I have always dealt with Fran and I must say, she is excellent. She keeps in touch, makes sure everything is in order and deals with every request you might have.

Last year we booked with Fran to Serita Beach in Crete for my honeymoon which was a Thomas Cook holiday for a lot less than TC were doing the holiday for. Everything was fine and perfect.

This time she tailored the holifay for what we needed. This was my 2 kids first time abroad and my daughter is a very nervous person. We wanted to make her experience perfect and Fran did just that! Private transfers were perfect, booked with Easyjet to fly and I must say that was excellent. The hotel was perfect. The baggage she got us was more than enough. I can not fault this company or Fran. She is excellent.

Will be booking again in the next couple of months for next years.

Thanks Fran :D

Another great holiday had!

This is the fourth holiday I have been on that was booked by Grant at Very. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now! From start to finish, the price was way way better than the big tour operators, and the flights, and hotel were exactly the same, but we didn’t need to wait for a transfer bus as a private transfer had been organised.

This is a truly honest review, and I would try grant and the team every time!

Good Morning,

We apologise that you have felt the need to complain about our customer service department. It is standard practice for all travel documents to be emailed out to the customer, however these can be posted upon request.

Unfortunately we have no control over the post once it has left our office, therefore we can not guarantee they will be delivered.

Again, we apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused and hope you have an enjoyable holiday. Please contact customer services if you wish to discuss this further.

Kind Regards,

We have just booked our second family…

We have just booked our second family trip with Fran Wallace at Very Holidays. As ever fabulous service and a great deal secured for us. Fran has also booked a trip for my father who was also very impressed with the trip and service offered. I am recommending Fran to others whenever I can and I’m sure that other staff at VH are equally excellent.

SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE

Shocking customer service as we booked holiday months ago and feel they are happy to talk to you until you have paid them then they disappear and your left waiting on the phone for some patronising customer service representative to say im sorry we are really busy. First and last time we are booking with them. As soon as i reviewed them on here i recieved several calls asking me to change the review 3 days before flight. Not good enough customer service. Buy cheap buy twice.
