Fantastic experience: I’ve never experienced service like I get from Ryan at TUI Colchester. In an age where everything seems to be done online with faceless comparison sites, it’s refreshing to have someone you can pop in to see, who remembers you and always goes the extra mile. I will never book a holiday online or with anyone else while Ryan is working there.

TUI Holiday Store

Thank you very much for your lovely review - We appreciate your custom and look forward to booking your holidays for future years to come

Fantastic experience: Abs is amazing, helped us book wedding with Gazza. Gazza very well travelled and has worked there YEARS. So will be in good hands if you're not sure where you want to go or what you want to do. Abs was amazing in helping us sort out some issues with our wedding booking at short notice. I will always book instore to get the advice and inspiration from now on.

Oliwia Sutowska 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: We booked an appointment online to discuss a new booking and the system works really well, despite being launched 2 days ago and got confirmation within hours. We have never booked with TUI before so we were new to the whole thing. Lucky for us we had Ryan to help us out, he was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time explaining the whole process and our options, which was very helpful since we had a lot of questions! We were really happy with the service provided by Ryan and would recommend it to others.

Hey Oliwia, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I loved reading your comments, and I know Ryan will too. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Highly recommended.

Ashley Longeway 1 year ago

Negative experience: Tui seem to think it's ok to miss sell you a holiday, which is meant to be for a family but the resort let's over 900 footballers check in for it to turn into a 18-30s holiday... When you have a 2 year old & a 14 year old... Your 14 doesn't look 14 she looks much older and had all these men learying over her, she saw a man going to toilet in a bush seeing EVERYTHING!!! These men were fighting, they grabbed a woman while there, they basically took over the place ruined a big chunk of our holiday.... Which I paid for with the money my mum had left me who passed away 10 months ago so it was her last goodbye to me.... TUI don't care at all they got their money totally devastated! My local shop both managers are so rude they can't even make a basic phone call and they tell lies. So if you do book with TUI good luck as your going to need it!!! Further more I wrote this on there Facebook page for the comment to be removed and myself blocked avoid at all costs. Yes I did call you back for you to just be vile to me.... Couldn't answer one of my questions was rude then hung the phone up.... I was right you only put that request on here to make it look like you care! Absolute disgusting behaviour especially from a manager.

Fantastic experience: The team in TUI Colchester are second to none. We as a family have used this branch to book our last five holidays with a wedding included. Each and every time the service, help, advice and council has been perfect. The energy and enthusiasm given by the team nether subsides wether it’s morning, lunch or afternoon. We would recommend this team to anyone looking for a break.

Eamonn Gray 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After booking a holiday over the phone with TUI requesting an accessible room and leaving in just over three weeks. Today I spent over an hour trying to contact there welfare department to ascertain if our first choice of hotel had suitable accommodation. If you have to rely on using a mobility scooter (suffering from a rare form of Motor Neurone) the last thing you want is problems. In desperation of being passed round in circles on the phone, I phoned the Colchester shop and spoke to Mitch. Wow what a difference. He understood my concerns straight away and reassured me that he would sort it. Within 2 hours everything was done including a change of hotel to one that we knew would be OK. Such brilliant customer service. Well done Colchester shop. Lesson learnt, will use them in future for any further bookings.

TUI Holiday Store

Hey Eamonn, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I loved reading your comments, and I know Mitch will too. We look forward to speaking to you again soon.

Matt Varley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We popped in on a Saturday and book 7 nights in Tenerife for the following Friday. Absolutely no issues at all. Everything went to plan and the resort, flights and transfers were all spot on. The only thing was, we asked for a room that was above the ground floor, this didn’t happen but actually worked in our favour so I can’t complain about that! Superb holiday and we’ll definitely book through TUI again!

Fantastic experience: Great experience, Mitch took us through all the details and nothing was too much trouble. The store put us at ease as we had quite specific holiday requirements and he was brilliant, a real asset to TUI. Will use TUI in future.

Zoe Beale 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: As this is mine and boyfriends first holiday abroad together I was nervous, however as soon as I sat down with Gary his bubbly and reassuring nature put me at ease. He found us everything and more that we were looking for for such an amazing price and well within our budget. He sorted absolutely everything for us which meant I don’t need to worry but just enjoy myself when the time comes. Hands down I wouldn’t book a holiday anywhere else!

Mary Sibley 2 years ago

Negative experience: AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE I paid £150 deposit stating very clearly what my requirements were. After receiving the paperwork and realising they had not booked what I asked for I was reduced to tears by a woman who was more interested in defending the rep than solving the problem and kept talking over me. There are some good tour operators out there. Sadly this is MOST DEFINATELY NOT ONE OF THEM!!!!

TUI Holiday Store

Hi Mary, thanks for the review. I'm really sorry your experience didn't match your expectations. We'd love to know some more details, so that we can deliver a better experience next time. Please feel free to reach out to me on 01206 560335 as I cannot find an enquiry or booking in your name at the Colchester store. Thank you

Fantastic experience: After receiving a terrible service from TUI Clacton branch when booking our wedding overseas we resulted in dealing with another branch locally and were more than happy with the service provided. We dealt with Abs in particular as well as the branch manager and they have been polite every time I have called to pay some of the balance off!

Negative experience: Yesterday I popped in to your agent in Colchester as I'm looking to book a holiday to Japan. 4 member of staff (1 on the phone) didn't show any interest while I was trying to find what I was looking for by myself. I am really disappointed by your customer service and would not visit again
