Fantastic experience: What a fantastic holiday we have just enjoyed in Seville, courtesy of Sarah and Andrea at Idelo Travel. The hotel recommended for us, the Petit Palace Puerta de Triana, was ideally situated and perfect for our needs, being within easy access of all the major sites of the city centre. Their breakfast was a particular highlight, setting us up nicely for busy days of sightseeing in 40-degree temperatures! Everything about our holiday was expertly organised for us, as we have by now come to expect, from the chauffeur transfer to the airport to our printed boarding passes which made it a doddle to go through check-in with minimal fuss. Idelo took any stress out of the organisation of our trip, leaving us to relax and enjoy our holiday from start to finish. We could not recommend the services of Andrea and Sarah more highly.

Fantastic experience: Cant thank Sarah and the team enough for their expertise and hard work prepping our American holiday this year. Great knowledge, couldn't do enough for us and put up with my numerous questions to make sure our getaway was as straight forward as possible. Definitely the people to go to if you need travel sorted. Thank you very very much.

Fantastic experience: Idello organized our trip to Switzerland, it was a guided tour. Our tour guide was a lady named Kim, who really knew her stuff. Knew the best places for pictures, what to get pictures of, where to get something to eat, and drink, things to see of interest, and importantly where the wash rooms were, and which were free! As predicted there was 26 people on the coach, including the guide, which led to a great atmosphere, everyone got on well, with no issues. Though the atmosphere might have got a bit thin on the mountains above the clouds! The weather was astounding, ranging from 25° to 35° With the odd thundery shower, but mostly blue sky, sun shine and heat. At times it was hard to believe we were high up in the Swiss Alps. It was an amazing holiday, I would definitely recommend Switzerland as a destination, and Idelo Travel for organizing it all for us. Thanks again. Keith and Jo.

Idelo Travel

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Keith & Jo and we are just so glad you had a lovely time. Having had your initial plans cancelled due to the pandemic (for Japan) it is so lovely to see our customers now back travelling once again!I do think this was a great choice – Switzerland – and the right tours with a great guide can always enhance a customer’s holiday through their local knowledge (and best things to see and do). They provide the “safety net” of the actual travel leaving you to simply relax and make the most of your trip.Thank you for choosing us for your holiday and we look forward to seeing you again when you have other plans!

Fantastic experience: Having used Idelo a couple of times for both summer beach holidays and city breaks I cannot recommend them highly enough. They organise everything from start to finish with perfection and always suggest excellent excursions.

Fantastic experience: I called idelo to arrange a Greek island hop. I had an idea of which islands I wanted to visit which were Santorini, Naxos and Paros and Sarah arranged everything for me including hotels, ferry tickets, taxis, transfers etc. I was provided with a full itinerary giving dates, times, pick ups and everything else in between. I couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience of booking to the actual Holiday itself. We had an amazing time on 3 amazing islands and the help received from Idelo and Sarah was second to none. I would absolutely recommend idelo travel for any holiday booking and will definitely use them again for my next holiday. Thank you so much Sarah for arranging this wonderful experience for us .

Idelo Travel

Thank you for taking the time to leave a 5 star review for us Colleen – and your pictures – they are fabulous! I am so glad you had a nice time. There are so many Greek Islands to explore and contrast. This way you don’t have to just pick one favourite!!For all trips, but those multi-centres in particular, one of the most important ways we can “take the stress out of a holiday” is to ensure all of the practical logistics are properly sorted – connections, tickets, timings etc. I know Sarah goes to great lengths to ensure the details are all in order for our customers and also that they can come in and see her to go through everything and understand all that paperwork etc. before they go. It is great to know that everything worked well and that you did indeed have an amazing time.Thank you for trusting us with your arrangements and yes, we would love to see you when you are ready to go away again!

Fantastic experience: Andrea and Sarah provide an excellent service. They helped us with planning our special holiday to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We wanted to travel to Canada and they undertook a full search for us taking out all the hassle and tailor made a trip that was perfect . Sarah kept us informed at all times with any changes and both Sarah and Andrea offered their expert opinion and helpful hints . We will be using their services again

Idelo Travel

Thank you for your review Katie and I am so glad you had such an amazing time. Canada is such a great destination and you certainly packed in some great experiences within your special trip. Our job is indeed to help ensure we provide you personally with the holiday that you most value and also to ensure we can really take out that hassle-factor for you. All we want you to do is simply be able to relax and enjoy – from the planning, to booking and the anticipation before going. And please do come and see us when you are looking for your next trip away – whatever that may be and wherever you wish to go!

Fantastic experience: I have used Idelo for multi-city trips now and their service has been incredible. I first booked a trip to Australia for a wedding just after covid restrictions were lifted. Andrea did an amazing job at handling all of my requests and finding something that fitted my budget and my needs. She even arraigned my flights so that I had an opportunity to recover from my jet lag. I certainly wouldn't have had such an easy journey if I had tried to do this on my own. I am an anxious traveller, and it was such a weight off my mind to know that I didn't have to research all of the flights and hotels myself. The second trip was a work trip to Canada that I also combined with some holiday days. Sarah and Angela were a massive help again and were so accommodating of my awkward requests to book some hotels through them and handle others myself. When I told Angela that someone had recommended visiting Quebec, she advised that because of my interests, I would be better off booking two nights rather than one. This knowledge is invaluable! I recommend Angela and Sarah to anyone in the Ipswich area, especially anyone on long-haul and multi-city trips. It has been so pleasant to take these trips knowing that the planning has been taken care of and that the selected flights and hotels will always be convenient and comfortable. I'm so glad I found them!

Idelo Travel

Thank you for your kind words Lizzie – and it is pleasure. We are always here to help customers both with the requests they have and also work with you to maybe enhance your stay with other experiences or logistically changes that you may not have thought of or even know exist. And it’s always nice to be able to extend that stay a bit for some chillax/explore time on the end of a work trip – and we are more than happy to help ensure you maximise that limited additional time wherever that may be! We appreciate you coming to see us and look forward in anticipation to where the next adventure may lead…!

Fantastic experience: Such a pleasure to deal with this company, Sarah went above and beyond to give us our dream holiday nothing was too much trouble despite our ever changing needs, certainly would use them again, thank you Sarah and Andrea for finally making our Tanzania dream come true.

Idelo Travel

Thank you so much Alanya-Lily for leaving us a fantastic 5 star review. We know that this was a trip of a lifetime for you all – that has been a while coming - and it is just great to know that it did indeed live up to its billing for you! Sarah and Andrea really care about each and every holiday we sell and it does mean a great deal when our customers too appreciate that and take the time to leave us a review to say thank you. We appreciate you coming back to us for these holiday plans and trusting us with your big trip and look forward to catching up with you all again for your next holiday plans!

Fantastic experience: My Mum and I used Idelo to book our 8 night tour of South Sri Lanka. From the day we gave Andrea our 'must haves' she put together a bespoke, carefully planned itinerary for us. The service was prompt, with great communication and competitively priced. From the moment we booked it, Sarah was in touch to give us important information and answer our questions quickly. A truly personal service. The trip was everything we had hoped for. Book with Idelo and you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: We went on a Hurtigruten Northern Lights cruise in 2019 which we booked through Idelo Travel. Both Andrea and Sarah made everything really easy so when we decided that following the last 18 months we needed something to look forward to Idelo was the only place to go. Being a small independent business they give a high quality personal service. We now have our holiday booked for 2023. It was very straightforward they were both very knowledgeable and helpful. We don't need to worry, we know they will advise us on anything we need to know following the pandemic. Less stress for us!

Fantastic experience: We have been using Idelo Travel for ages now, possibly since the agency started. They have been wonderful with every thing they have done for us. Our last trip was really not straightforward involving umpteen flights and 3 well separated countries, but it all worked like a dream, despite have to change a flight because of covid, from the other side of the world. They feel like family now, we have used them so often. And we will continue to use them, Andrea and Sarah are just lovely, helpful and caring and always ready to help. So glad we found this travel agency. Long live Idelo Travel.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people - wonderful service We had two special occasion trips to arrange and wanted to use a local company and so chose Idelo travel - an independent Suffolk travel agent. And Idelo Travel really did take care of everything – both before and after booking. We had a cruise booked and a trip to Madeira including lots of excursions. Andrea’s cruise knowledge in helping pick the right one for us and Sarah’s tenacious, in-depth help with every aspect of the logistics once booked were invaluable. Then the worst happened and the cruise line (Cruise & Maritime) ceased trading. But for us everything was still stress-free. We were regularly informed and updated on the progress of our claim, and though it took some time, all of our money was returned. They knew exactly what needed to be done. Also due to Covid we had to cancel our Madeira trip and amazingly they were even able to have all of our excursion money refunded... Brilliant!! We have happily booked with Idelo again for this coming year and would recommend them to all.

Fantastic experience: Not the first time we have used Sarah at Idelo Travel, always very helpful, and have come up trumps with hotel selection each time. Very polite and helpful.

Fantastic experience: We always go to Idelo Travel for our holidays whether, long-haul or short haul, family or excitement. Through the years, their knowledge and experience means they've found and delivered exactly what we wanted - even when we're being really picky!! We've just returned from a family holiday in Turkey, once again they nailed it, also - we've found it so much easier using someone who can take care of the whole picture, answer whatever questions we have and to give us the confidence that we haven't forgotten anything. It was great to get travelling once again and Idelo Travel really help make it as stress-free as possible. Thank you Idelo....would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: We always go to Idelo Travel for our holidays. They are so on-top of everything – so organised and thorough. With so much choice it’s easy to get overwhelmed these days but Idelo will take away all that stress – they are great at narrowing down our options to those that are right for us. They are real people and talk of real experiences, because invariably they have travelled there themselves. Above all they will always provide honest guidance, you really can trust them – they always have your back. I would totally recommend Idelo Travel.

Luycy Plumb 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have used Idelo Travel twice now for booking a 30th birthday trip to Las Vegas & Palm Springs and our Honeymoon to Dubai & Mauritius and cannot recommend Andrea & Sarah enough. Both are so knowledgeable, friendly and make the whole process so easy. Always on hand to answer any queries and take any sort of stress away from booking a long haul / special occasion trip. Thank you!

James and Laura Mower 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have just returned from an absolutely perfect honeymoon in the Maldives, courtesy of Andrea and Sarah at Idelo Travel. We went in with just a vague idea of what we wanted to include in our holiday - picture-postcard beaches, a good selection of local and international cuisine and a choice of activities and excursions - and it's fair to say that Idelo more than matched our expectations! The whole process, from initial meeting through booking and further advice, was smooth and seamless. We were also able to call upon Andrea and Sarah's expertise while in resort, to take all of the stress out of arranging the trip, leaving us to focus on enjoying our holiday of a lifetime. If you are looking for a travel agent who will put you first, using their experience to tailor your holiday exactly how you would like it, you need look no further than Idelo Travel!

Fantastic experience: We booked our trip to Sorrento, Italy through Idelo travel and we couldn’t have had a better experience. As a young couple Idelo travel were exceptional at taking us through all the procedures to properly book the getaway and any additional excursions that we liked the look of. They made the whole experience simple and stress free, while also keeping in good contact with us when it came nearer to the time of our departure. Furthermore, also being helpful while we were in Sorrento with any queries we had. All in all, we had an amazing experience with Idelo travel and will definitely be using them to book our next holiday.

Rebecca Crewe 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: At the end of 2019, we contacted Idelo to help us book in our honeymoon for this year. Andrea was really quick to respond and we could see straight away that she was very knowledgeable - often knowing the towns and hotels by name off the top of her head - and the options she presented us with were well researched. One of things I loved about working with Andrea/Idelo was the way the holiday options were presented - we weren't sent one at a time, we were provided with a document which detailed various itineraries tailored to our requirements and a basic price for each, and then various other options of hotels and the price increase/decrease from the basic option, with an added description of each hotel/options. It was incredible to feel so in control of our honeymoon yet so stress-free. We eventually booked our dream honeymoon - with plenty of emails from myself, without a simple complaint from Andrea (and Sarah too!). She was quick to respond and amend any detail. Unfortunately with the current pandemic, we were forced to postpone our wedding and therefore cancel our honeymoon. The support we have received from Idelo has been fantastic however; Andrea responded almost immediately to my email and only a week later we have our honeymoon rescheduled for the following year, almost exactly the same as the original one and we couldn't be more relieved. The thought of cancelling our honeymoon weighed heavily on us, but this was needless worrying - Andrea sorted it quickly and easily. Couldn't recommend more, thank you!

Fantastic experience: We are due to get married in April 2021 and have struggled to find any appealing destinations for our honeymoon so our close friends introduced us to Andrea at Idelo Travel as they had just booked their honeymoon and said the service they received was first class. After a 30 minute video call with Andrea, we received five different options which ticked every box and even more which made our decision even harder. Unfortunately our plans had changed which meant we decided to look for a European mini-honeymoon and look to book our honeymoon later in 2021. This was no trouble for the team and within a day Sarah had sent over some amazing options. It didn't take long for us to make a decision and dealing with a professional team made the process smooth and efficient. We have never received service like it before. Its safe to say we will use Idelo Travel for the future holidays and we generally believe no other travel agent beat their level of service! Thank you again Andrea, Sarah and the team!

Fantastic experience: Planning a trip to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary, we knew that we wanted to return to Sarah at Idelo Travel. She has been so helpful in the past and has always excelled in finding us fantastic holidays tailored just to what we want. Everyone hopes that things run smoothly when taking a holiday but when it does not, as has been the case for many of us in 2020, you want someone you know you can rely on - this has always been a significant consideration when using Ideol - that we know that there is someone there to help. Although like many we have had to postpone, Sarah has managed to move everything over to next year for us – all at no extra cost – and with her usual friendly and efficient manner. It’s times like these when you really do appreciate the service and approach that she provides and why we will continue to return to Idelo for piece of mind and wonderful holidays time and again.

Fantastic experience: Having booked America, Australia, Egypt, Venice with Idelo and getting excellent service and great hotels - decided to book Menorca for June 2020 for 6 people. Holiday with Jet2 so dreaded the hassle of cancelling, refunds and rebooking. Three emails confirming some info - getting and accepting new quote for 2021 - all sorted. So grateful as aware of others having nightmares with bookings through other travel companies. Thank-you - worth 5 stars any day

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service booking a multi city trip to the USA. They couldn't do enough to help me plan the most well-rounded itinerary, at an unbeatable price too. Would thoroughly recommend Idelo Travel for their prompt, friendly service. Lots of communication too which is nice to have nowadays.
