Wendy Haines Travel- award winning independent personal travel consultant: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Just returned from my fourth trip with Wendy’s Wanderers … this time to amazing Japan. As usual we were escorted by Wendy who organised everything for us …. the journey to & from the airport, checking in at the airport, things for us to do in our spare time etc. I love travelling with Wendy’s Wanderers & I’ve already got another 5 trips booked! Thank you Wendy!
Aww thanks Dianne always a pleasure spending time with you
Fantastic experience: We Booked New York and Washington with Wendy and Jane This was different to our other two trips as this was for our sons wedding at the City Hall in New York. The booking procedure was as smooth as usual and a 5 star experience which we are coming to expect. We flew to Newark Liberty and sorted an Uber out to the Kixby Hotel in New York. The food choice was outstanding but the prices were high and just be aware of the tipping and large group prices as that only hits you after if you have never been before. We used the Big Bus and that was a good choice. New York was a superb experience and we walked across the whole city visiting as many places as possible. Due to the shutdown the Museums were shut and a few other public buildings. However lots of free stuff to do with the high line a great find. We then flew to Washington and the Viceroy was in a superb location with lots of restaurants and shops in the area. We were only 1 mile away from the White House and the central area. We again used the Big Bus and it was a great decision taking us all over Washington. We visited all the usual places and George Town which again was great. Thanks Again Wendy and Jane
Wow! Thank you Simon for such a great review and fab photos
We’re so glad you all enjoyed your special adventure
We look forward to helping you again
Fantastic experience: A holiday with Wendy’s Wanderers is always a fabulous experience. This trip to Japan, my 3rd with the Wanderers, was no exception. Although we were part of a larger group with Riviera travel, Wendy was always aware of where her ladies were, what our needs were and making sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. The trip included many interesting visits throughout areas of Kyoto, Mishima and Tokyo. On a personal note, I love how everyone comes together at some point each day but can have time to themselves to pursue personal interests. Thank you Wendy !!!!
Thank you Jo
What an incredible experience we had
Always a pleasure spending time with you x
Fantastic experience: I've just returned from Japan with Wendy's Wanderers on a Riviera Travel tour. We went to lots of interesting places, stayed in nice hotels and had many laughs along the way. It was a long journey and we relied on Wendy to skilfully get us to our destination. We spent quality time together and we all made the most of the different culture. I would highly rrcommend this trip and being able to do it with a group of like-minded ladies made it extra special.
Thank you for your kind comments and 5*! It was a pleasure looking after you and I look forward to seeing you on future trips
Fantastic experience: Brilliant trip to Japan with Wendy and her Wanderers. Cultural visits to temples , Buddhas , fantastic kimono display . Varied scenery through mountains , the coast , manicured garden and parks , wonderful views of Mount Fuji. Travel by plane, coach and bullet train. City scapes never to be forgotten . Food from 7/11 to great restaurants trying many new foods . Loads of fun and memories made with a great bunch of ladies. Thanks x
Thank you for 5* and kind words - what a trip we had
Fantastic experience: Wendy has organised 2 bespoke holidays for us now and we are delighted to say that both delivered exactly what we were looking for. The advice, communication and delivery of documentation has been faultless and we will certainly be using her services again. Re. October 2025. We have used Wendy and Jane’s services again in 2024 and 2025 and we’re delighted to say that all holidays continue to exceed our expectations. We were especially pleased with the help and advice we received with our latest holiday to India over the planning and overcoming our initial nervousness for a first trip to the Far East. A visit to India is both a wonderful and educational experience and we are very grateful to Wendy and Jane for making it happen.
Thank you for your 5*review and kind comments, we work hard to make your travel dreams a reality
We look forward to helping you again in future
Fantastic experience: A wonderful holiday all based on Wendy’s advice - very smooth process and highly recommend Wendy and her travel agency. Very happy - assisted travel booked as well through Wendy. Playa den Bossa, Ibiza
Thank you Clare
I’m so glad you enjoyed another holiday . Stunning photos
Look forward to helping you again next time x
Fantastic experience: Wendy found the right holiday for us with Riviera Travel at a great price. Clare from her team helped us find overnight accommodation and parking at Luton before an early morning flight and Jane dealt with all the paperwork including boarding passes Highly recommended.
Thank you for the 5⭐️ and your kind words. We look forward to helping you again
Fantastic experience: Wendy kept us updated on what we needed to do for booking us in for our cruise and entering the details required. It was all plain sailing (pardon the pun) had a lovely time on Ventura. Definitely recommend booking with Wendy again for our next cruise. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the 5⭐️ so glad you enjoyed your cruise

Fantastic experience: We’ve just come back from another fantastic holiday organised by Wendy & the Team. Our trip to Singapore and Thailand was put together by Wendy and Kuoni.and it surpassed all of our expectations.. We loved Singapore with the highlight being a stay at Marina Bay Sands with a view of the Gardens at the Bay. The beautiful beaches of Thailand were a brilliant way to relax with the highlight being Paradee on the island of Koh Samet This holiday ran flawlessly from start to finish and we’re already looking forward to planning next years trip
Thank you again Gill, what amazing photos !! Look forward to seeing you soon to start planning your next adventure x
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Wendy and her team enough. Spent a fabulous week in Kefalonia in a lovely villa, own pool. Car hire organised too. All went smoothly as always and we had a relaxing week. With an added bonus of a heatwave . Always use Wendy for our holidays and breaks, as we can fully trust everything will be fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks Marie - always a pleasure looking after you
The villa looks stunning
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful time in the Norwegian Fjords with Wendy’s Wanderers. Spectacular scenery and friendly people. Good food and great entertainment onboard Ambassador Ambition, not to mention brilliant staff. Thank you Wendy for your excellent organisation.
Always a pleasure Di thank you x
Fantastic experience: Wendy did it again. We visited Turkey for the very first time and Wendy recommended the Blu Luxury Unique Hotel in Oludeniz. It was amazing, beautiful breakfast, lovely staff, very clean and an oasis of calm from the madness of the main Oludeniz strip. We were there during the 40+ heatwave which did limit any activities as it was too hot. I did have 2 massages and also took part in an Air Dry Clay session which I really enjoyed. The hotel is small, only 54 rooms which meant we always got a sunbed and it was really quiet. If you like more entertainment etc then maybe this is not the hotel for you. We loved it and would definitely go there again. Thank you Wendy for this little gem.
Thanks Ros for your 5* review, kind words and repeated custom. Not sure I’d have coped with that heat!! Look forward to helping you with the next one x
Fantastic experience: Thank you Wendy for recommending H10Tindaya Fuertaventura. We had the most amazing week. Can’t wait to return ☀️
Thank you both ! So glad you had a great time having fun again xx
Fantastic experience: Fantastic weekend away in Shropshire with Wendy’s Wanderers. Little Brampton Farmhouse had everything we needed, rooms were lovely, hot tub, games room, and kitchen facilities were all great. Our murder mystery evening was great fun. And the meal was amazing! All very well organised, thank you, Wendy, for another fab trip
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed it
Look forward to seeing you again soon x
Fantastic experience: Wendy and her team were amazing in helping us find a family holiday in Crete. They gave us loads of options taking into account our list of likes and dislikes. Then everything was booked for us and the holiday was fabulous as always. Thanks so much x
Thank you Claire , it was a pleasure looking after you again x
Fantastic experience: We use Wendy every year for our holiday, this year Claire and Jane sorted everything out from start to finish. Amazing hotel, we all said its the best holiday and kids want to go back next year. They took the stress out of everything and even sorted assisted travel out for our son. Nothing is too much trouble. Thanks again.
Thank you for your 5⭐️and kind words. Glad you had a great time , see you next year ✈️
Fantastic experience: Our hotel was beautiful and the rooms was excellent. Lovely gardens where you could just relax in and enjoy the peace & quiet. It’s close to the centre about a 5 minute walk. Thank you for recommending this hotel we had a fab time in Brugg.
Thank you for 5⭐️it was a pleasure looking after you, we’re so glad you loved Brugge
Fantastic experience: Just returned from my first trip with Wendy's Wanderers to Croatia. I arrived as a stranger and departed with lots of new friends. Big thanks to Wendy for a wonderful holiday. I've already booked 2 more trips with Wendy's Wanderers.
Thank you ! So glad you had a great time, look forward to seeing you again xx
Fantastic experience: Just back from an amazing holiday in Croatia (Mlini) booked by Wendy as part of her Wendy’s Wanderers group. Everything from travel to the airport, flights, transfers, hotel accommodation and days out while we were there was booked by Wendy. Plus we had the amazing services of Wendy to escort us on the trip. I cannot recommend this fantastic lady enough. She thinks of everything ! I am already booked on a couple more trips and I feel completely confident these will be equally amazing. Thank you Wendy x
Thank you Ann! I’m so glad you loved your 1st trip - look forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: A trip to Croatia with Wendy’s Wanderers. What a beautiful location chosen by Wendy, which shows her knowledge and experience of our beautiful planet. Had the best time with like minded ladies who had never met before but who were soon good friends. All this due to Wendy’s friendly hospitality, making sure no one was alone unless they wanted to be. The tours were all arranged and escorted by Wendy allowing our group of ladies the chance to just relax and explore. Couldn’t recommend Wendy’s Wanderers enough. If you’re a solo traveller then this is the place to come. I’ve already another 3 trips booked!!!
Thank you for your lovely words, an absolute pleasure looking after you again, look forward to the next one x
Fantastic experience: Croatia 25 Stunning scenery, crystal clear waters blue sky and fabulous hotel. Great fun with the ladies. Superb organisation. Well done Wendy.
Thank you ! Lovely spending time with you x
Fantastic experience: Haines travel was recommended by a friend who has high standards so I was confident that they would be good. We were not disappointed. Advice and suggestions for resort and accommodation was excellent. Everything was done promptly with advice if needed at every stage. Email reminders were extremely helpful. Friendly and so knowledgeable we cannot fault this travel company. Would definitely use them again. Our holiday in Pefkos Rhodes Hotel Palm Beach (Bed and breakfast) was lovely as was the weather. The hotel has been completely renovated and we had a studio room which had a very useful kitchen area, a lovely shower room with walk in shower and a large sleeping area with a balcony. Bed was so comfy. We looked out onto a bit of a building site and a slight Seaview but there was never any noise except during normal working hours when we were not in our room. Across the road was a roof top pool and a lower pool which overlooked the beach. Parts still not completely finished but didn't affect us. Breakfast is a la carte and perhaps a criticism is that you can only have one item off the breakfast menu ie English breakfast or an omelette etc. Any fruit or yoghurt or toast is extra this we felt was a bit mean. However the food is to a good standard. We did have to send some food back as it was cold and was advised that they want to know of any problems so they rectify problems. They were training new staff. I had a bit of a problem with Gluten Free food as there was a lack of understanding but it got better as the week went on. 10 minute walk into the centre, lovely restaurants and ice cream parlour. For Coeliacs the three Pigs in Pefkos have a fantastic gluten free menu, service and food brilliant. Really good entertainment on teo nights. The Jersey Tones were fantastic. All in all a great weeks holiday. Carol & Paul Kirk
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to looking after you again
Fantastic experience: A much looked forward to Douro River Cruise with my sister. Planning and booking was made simple. Information that was required by Riviera and Jet 2 was taken care of by the friendly staff members. Just 9 days before we were due to travel, my sister needed an emergency operation. Wendy, Clare and in particular Jane were very helpful in sorting out a change of name to allow my husband to go on the Cruise. Getting the boarding cards amended, caused a stressful delay. However I must commend Jane, who went above and beyond to ensure it got sorted. Hubby and I had a wonderful time. Thank you Wendy Haines Travel.
Thank you ! So glad you enjoyed your river cruise. We know sometimes things don’t go as planned- we try our hardest to help you sort things out and appreciate your kind comments. Hope your sister is on the mend - cheer her up with another trip to look forward to ? we look forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: I have returned from a trip to Paris with Wendy’s Wanderers. What a fantastic group of ladies. Wendy had everything organised even meeting up before our trip to get to know each other. Transport and travel all sorted but even better Wendy was with us to make the trip a memorable one. I can highly recommend the wanderers trips but book quickly as they are very popular! The memories will keep me smiling till the the next one
Thank you! Was great spending time with you, roll on the next one
Fantastic experience: We had a great holiday cruising through the Norwejan Fjords with Fred Olsen. Wendy and her team helped us choose the right holiday for us and helped with all the paperwork and admin. We've used her company before and would definitely recommend.
Thank you Steve! Another fabulous trip it was our pleasure looking after you
Positive experience: I joined Wendy for the first time on the Murder Mystery weekend at Lea Hall, the perfect venue. I was warmly welcomed by Wendy - the hostess with the mostest!!everything was organised to the very last detail. The group of ladies were lovely. Lots of fun and laughter (and food). A weekend to remember!!
Thanks Sue! Was great to meet you,look forward to seeing you again x
Fantastic experience: Wendy really is a fantastic host. She arranged a weekend in Derbyshire for a groups of ladies, some known to each other and some not. We were all made to feel very welcome and lots of activities arranged which we could join in with. A Murder Mystery dinner on the Saturday evening was very good fun and Wendy was an excellent Sherlock! Highly recommend her services.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it, was great to meet you x
Fantastic experience: I had the most amazing four days at Lea Hall, with Wendy. Wendy is the perfect host. I enjoyed every minute of it. The murder mystery was great fun. The food was in abundance, and the chefs meals were lovely. Everything was carefully thought through, and all of our needs were catered for. I highly recommend this trip.
Thank you for your kind words and joining me , was great spending time with you x
Fantastic experience: Just returned from a Murder Mystery weekend organised by Wendy, one of her Wanderers events, this is the second one I have done and have more planned. Wendy is friendly, welcoming and her organisation skills are amazing I would highly recommend her .
Thank you Sandra, it’s been great getting to know you. See you again soon
Fantastic experience: Excellent Murder Mystery weekend with Wendy’s Wanderers organised by Wendy Haines Travel . The whole weekend was so well organised from the venue, to the food, the Murder Mystery event and even making time to play games with the party when there was free time over the weekend. Wendy is such a good host, excellent weekend had by everyone x
Thank you for joining me on your first wanderers experience, and your kind words
Hope to see you again x
Fantastic experience: I have just spent a fantastic weekend with Wendy and ‘Wendy’s Wonderers’ The whole weekend was perfect. From the time of booking right up to the date of leaving everything was perfect! Food, games and the Murder Mystery were very well organised. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. This was my first time with Wendy, it won’t be the last. Other ladies on the same weekend shared their stories of trips abroad and days out with Wendy. It’s obvious that Wendy takes great pride in the events and trips she organises and makes sure her ladies/customers are well looked after. I’d like to mention Jillian too, Wendy’s right hand woman..both worked hard at the weekend event making sure we had the best time. Thank you…. Highly recommend
Thank you Sylvia it was a pleasure thanks for embracing the murder mystery party
Hope to see you again x
Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Wendy Haines and her team to arrange your holidays! No hassle, easy, her expertise and knowledge made the whole experience amazing. We initially contacted Wendy as it was my wifes 50th birthday and we wanted to do something a bit special. We wondered what a cruise would be like but had no previous experience so looked for an independent travel agents. Wendy was recommended by a number of people so i booked an appointment and we had a conversation. We wanted to visit New Orleans and go on a cruise so Wendy said "leave it to me" and all was sorted in days! A 7 day caribbean cruise, a few days in New Orleans, flights, etc. Even when my wife fell ill and we had to postpone, Wendy was available for advice and the holiday was re-arranged for a later date no issues. A fantastic experience, we would definitely recommend Wendy, and we will probably be dropping round her cabin for advice in the future. Thanks to Wendy & her amazing team!
Thank you Martin! Your kind words mean a lot
I’m so glad you finally got your dream trip- photos are fab!!
Look forward to helping you next time
Fantastic experience: Fantastic holiday to Singapore and onto Australia. Flights, hotels, connections all organised to finite detail by Wendy Haines travel. A massive thankyou to Wendy and Jane who sorted everything from start to finish for a wonderful seamless holiday.
Great to hear ! Thank you for trusting us
Fantastic experience: River cruising along the Seine and visiting Paris… my first experience of Wendy’s Wanderers but certainly not my last! It was great having everything organised by Wendy and she looked after us very well. I had a wonderful time … lovely company, lots of chat, fun and laughter, the weather was brilliant and the food was delicious. It was the perfect tonic I needed and my first Wanderer’s trip will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️ Thank you Wendy.
Thank you Alison! It was great getting to know you, look forward to seeing you again soon
Fantastic experience: My first trip as a Wendy's Wanderer, I could not fault the service & organisation of everything from beginning to end. I went on Riviera Travel's Paris & Seine Discovery River Cruise. The MS Jane Austen is a lovely ship providing comfortable accommodation with plentiful & delicious food & drink. The itinerary was varied but the trip would have benefitted from being 1-2 days longer. I would not hesitate to recommend to others.
A pleasure getting to know you, look forward to seeing you again
Thank you x
Fantastic experience: Just returned from yet another amazing holiday that Wendy organised as part of her wanderer group, Marrakesh never failed to amaze, this G adventures trip including trekking in the Sahara desert, camping under the stars, sitting on a sand dune to watch the sunset was highlights of the holiday at the start, challenging at times but well worth the aches and pains. Staying in a Riad in Marrakesh, with the enjoyable chaos of the market, hunting for our treasure to take home. Totally recommend this holiday it was truly memorable and rewarding
Thank you Dawn! Always a pleasure taking you away in my groups
Glad you enjoyed the desert adventure x
Fantastic experience: Just returned from a week in Morocco with Wendy’s Wanderers, I had an amazing time a real adventure in the desert, camel riding, camping and then to the huddle and bustle of Marrakesh. Wendy makes the holiday seamless and is always at hand for any issues. Cannot recommend Wendy enough.
Thank you Sue, it was a pleasure getting to know you and looking after you
Hope to see you on a future trip x
Fantastic experience: First time with Wendy Haines Travel to Morocco. Everything is organised for you and nothing is too much trouble. Can't wait for my next trip. Would definitely recommend Wendy's escorted holidays. Thank you Wendy for making this holiday such a memorable occasion.

Thank you Paul ! We look forward to looking after you next time :)
Fantastic experience: Wendy arranged our multi-centre honeymoon to Cape Town, Franschhoek, Sabi Sands & Zanzibar, tweaking the intinarary several times until it was completely right for us & answering our many questions. The recommended hotels were in a fantastic location, everything was faultless. Upon experiencing a problem with a cancelled flight Wendy responded immediately providing her advice & support, it was really appreciated. Thanks so much.
Thank you Michelle, so happy your epic honeymoon was everything you dreamed of
Fantastic experience: Thank you Wendy for organising our recent trip to Australia. Your invaluable expertise in helping plan our itinerary to fit in the things we wanted to see and do while we were there made everything easy for us and knowing that we had the back up of your assistance if we had any problems made travelling stress free. Australia is such a vast and beautiful country that you can only scratch the surface in a month long trip - we had a fantastic time and highly recommend visiting.
Thank you Alison! What an incredible adventure you had
A pleasure looking after you, look forward to helping you with the next one

Wendy truly made the trip with her fantastic organising skills and attention to details. Thank you so much for providing us with such a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be back for more.
Thank you !! It was a pleasure spending time with you xx
Fantastic experience: I recently joined a trip to India organised by this incredible independent travel guide dedicated to women. Traveling with a group of 12 like-minded women, I felt an immediate sense of camaraderie and support. The trips are thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of destinations and activities that cater to different interests, all while ensuring high-quality accommodations. What truly sets her apart is her commitment to building a community. For many of us, especially those traveling solo, this experience provided a safe and nurturing environment that fostered genuine connections. Her calming presence made everyone feel included and valued, allowing us to step out of our comfort zones with confidence. Beyond just a holiday, she offers invaluable opportunities for personal growth and empowerment. Her attention to detail and genuine care for each participant's experience truly elevate these trips. If you're a woman seeking adventure, connection, and a supportive travel community, I cannot recommend her tours highly enough. You’ll not only see the world but also leave with lasting friendships and unforgettable memories
What a wonderful review thank you ! It was an absolute pleasure looking after you and getting know you. Hope to see you again xx
Fantastic experience: Never done a tour holiday before but this was just great ! Wendy went beyond my expectations with such attention to detail . It was a very inclusive group well organised a great introduction to India .Thanks Wendy and see you soon xx

Fantastic experience: I first met Wendy 6 or 7 years ago at a WiRE networking event and thought that she was knowledgeable, honest and passionate about travel and the service she could provide potential holidaymakers. I recommended her to my parents for their long haul holiday requirements and the service was second to none. When the time came to book our first foreign holiday abroad after 15 years I had no hesitation in contacting Wendy. She helped us secure a booking for our chosen resort and was always on hand to answer questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to get in touch with her again.
Thank you Claire! Your kind words mean the world
Fantastic experience: Thank you Wendy for organising our recent British Isle cruise . everything went to plan and we did not have to worry about anything, Wendy had taken care of every last detail ensuring we had a relaxing holiday.

Thank you to Caroline and Sandra for teaching me Rummikub, I love it and have ordered one to play at home .
Thank you Anne! Was a pleasure spending time with you! So glad you enjoyed your first Wendy’s Wanderers trip
Fantastic experience: I can't begin to describe the fabulous experiences I have enjoyed on my first adventure with Wendys wanderers and can't wait for the next one.

Fantastic experience: Having returned from a week long holiday in Malta staying at the Seaview hotel , St Paul’s bay we can fully recommend this hotel for service , food , amenities, cleanliness, location and friendly professional staff .

Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed it and how lucky to see dolphins

Fantastic experience: Just back from a stunning week in Lake Garda. Wendy did a great job in offering us a superb hotel in Melcasine from where we were able to explore the Lake from north to south. Loved the food, hospitality and great service from Jet2 Until next time ……..
Thank you Phil ! Absolutely stunning photos
Look forward to helping you with your next adventure
Positive experience: Wendy saw us at her base and we booked our trip in an hour, Wendy did it all including transfers. On reflection we should have perhaps gone away and consideeed options before just booking but that was our choice. Both Wendy and Jane (admin support) were on hand to support my email questions before our trip to Paris with swift responses always. Our trip didnt go as smoothly as planned but that was the providors and not Wendy. It's great to have support and advice on hand if you have questions or worries about your trip,. This was our first trip since 2018 abroad so i was a bit out of practice so it was reassuring to have Wendy and team support us booking and planning. Great team.
Thank you for your review. Jane and I work hard to answer any queries quickly. We hope you had a great time
Fantastic experience: I joined Wendy on my first trip with her Wanderers group to Malta. I was nervous when I signed up as I hadnt met any of the other ladies. By the time I set off for the airport I had been for 2 meals and a coffee morning with them and Wendy had arranged transport from home to the airport so we all travelled together. We had a wonderful time, packed full of beautiful scenery and experiences. Wendy was with us all the time and made arrangements for any transport needed. Some of us went to a Craft Village on one of our free days and she even organised the taxi there and back for us. I have already booked another holiday with Wendys Wanderers and wouldnt hesitate to recommend her. I have never had such a personal service from any other travel company. Thankyou Wendy.
Thank you Jenny! I loved spending time with you and can’t wait to see you on the next one
Positive experience: We had the most amazing holiday to Cambodia & Vietnam thanks to your advert on FB. The whole trip was so well organised apart from the ruck sack issue which I emailed about earlier. I would thoroughly recommend this holiday. Many thanks again. Chris &John
Thank you for sharing your photos - looks like you had a great time . I’m sorry you didn’t receive your free ruck sack before you went, I have recommended to the supplier that they send them earlier you’ll have to go on another one to use it now you have it
Fantastic experience: We started using Wendy's Travel in 2021 and haven't looked back. Wendy has a wealth of knowledge, experience and other travel contacts which she uses to get you the best possible experience. We have just returned from a 2 centre holiday to Rome and Florence. Wendy sorted it all - helping to relay any worries we had re transfers, train travel etc. We would not have had the confidence to organise this ourselves and so would have missed out on a great holiday experience. If your thinking about a holiday - Wendy is your person - what she doesn't know is not worth talking about. Wendy provides great customer service. - without the need to sit on the Internet or in a call queue for hours. She listens and comes up with some great ideas. We highly recommend to all that will listen to us :)
Ahhh thank you Janet! Your kind words mean a lot to me, thank you for trusting me . Always a pleasure looking after you x
Fantastic experience: Wendy organised a short notice holiday for 4x seniors with the vague request for sun, sea and cocktails, it was done with style and detail. All inclusive week in Nessebar Bulgaria with excellent weather. Flights, transfers, hotel and communications were five star. Our North American friends were suitably impressed with everything and we all had a marvelous time. Again, thank you Wendy and your Team.
Thank you Chris! I’m so glad you enjoyed your holiday
Fantastic experience: Just returned from a two week vacation from Canada ... can't praise Wendy and her colleague Jane, and team for their attention to detail, recommendations for our trip, and looking after us in compiling our itinerary to some of the great cities / places in Eastern Canada. Really pleased with the organisation, communication and the planning of our holiday which has been a tremendous experience and no underestimation ... a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you Wendy and team. Dawn and Tim Mallender.
Thank you so much Tim for your lovely review. We are so glad you had a fabulous time
Fantastic experience: Thank you Wendy and your team for sorting out our holiday to Protaras, Cyprus. Whenever I emailed or rang yourself, I felt as though nothing was too much trouble for you to sort. Thank you again and I always recommend you to family and friends
Thank you so much for your kind words, I’m so glad you had a fab time
Fantastic experience: We have just returned from a fantastic family adventure in Croatia, all booked through Wendy and her team. It was fabulous and any query we had was answered quickly and efficiently, taking all the worry out of it for us. This was our third adventure booked via Wendy and we already have number 4 booked. We would recommend her without hesitation.
Thank you so much for taking the time for this lovely review. I’m glad you had an amazing time and I look forward to helping you with your next adventure
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic weekend ! Well organised by the one and only Wendy !
Ahhh thank you ! So glad you loved your first Wendy’s Wanderers trip x
Fantastic experience: Just returned from another Greek holiday organised by Wendy. Wendy was very helpful organising our holiday, very good price & she kept in touch with us. Lovely email before we left & when we returned home. Other holidays booked for next year with our No1 Independent Travel Organiser! If you want 100% service contact Wendy! Thank-you xx
Thank you carol always a pleasure looking after you ( and it’s been for many years now )
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Wendy and her team for making the arrangements for our wonderful holiday in France. We had a great time travelling round with the highlight being a guided tour of Monet's garden at Giverny.
Thank you! Looks lovely
Fantastic experience: Great service from Wendy, everything went to plan without any issues. All of the paperwork and tickets came in plenty of time. Great job, wouldn't hesitate to book our next trip through Wendy.
Thank you Steve, look forward to helping you again
Fantastic experience: Thank you for organising us again Wendy! Everything worked like clockwork!
Always a pleasure ! Thank you for 5* review x
Fantastic experience: I had a telephone meeting with Wendy and asked for the following - not a really long flight -short transfer time -swim up room -sunbed on my balcony - adult only Wendy came back to me really quickly with 4 different hotels that all met my requirements. I spent some time choosing and tweaked a couple of bits then asked Wendy to book it. It was all booked and she arranged seats on the plane and priority boarding for us. Birmingham airport was a breeze with lots of helpful people and support and it was the same on the plane. We arrived and had a private transfer to the hotel where they rushed out to take our bags. The flight to Rhodes was about 4 hours and transfer was just 15 minutes to the Ixian Grand. The hotel was amazing, very professional. Our rooms although different were next to each other and my swim up room did not disappoint with 2 sun loungers, table and 2 chairs. It was adult only and the age range was from 20 upwards. The food was very good and we mainly ate in the al la carte restaurant. Wendy had certainly delivered above and beyond what I requested and I wont hesitate to book with her again Sue Westwood
Thank you Sue, it was a pleasure looking after you. I’m so glad you had a lovely holiday
Fantastic experience: Hi Wendy, well what a wonderful cruise you organised for us, everything was perfect, the Staff, food, Wow! attention to detail was second to none, would thoroughly Recommend yourself, Wendy, and Fred Olsen cruises, thank you for your help, made the whole experience really easy. Only downside, we didn’t realise the Tyne Tunnel was online payment, so are now awaiting our fine. Hopefully will be coming to see you again.
Thank you Janet! So glad you had a great time
Ps try and pay for the tunnel now, if it’s like the one in London you have so many days to pay before they contact you
Fantastic experience: I have just returned from a wonderful holiday experience to Tuscany with Wendy’s Wanderers. A group of solo women. We have had a great holiday, our base was a lovely hotel in Montecatini Terme - Hotel Torretta, visited Florence, Lucca & Pisa all escorted by Wendy herself, what more personalisation could you ask for. Excellent value for money, great food, lovely wine, great trips via the train & great company & all topped with a visit to the Montecatini Opera Festival which was awesome. If you are a single woman who wants some company or lost confidence in travelling I would highly recommend Wendy’s Wanderers. I’m in no doubt you’d get your ‘mojo’ back.
Thank you Jo, your words mean a lot to me. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed company this week and look forward to seeing you on future wanderers trips x
Fantastic experience: Thankyou Wendy for your great and professional organisation, we were well informed leading up to and during our holiday. It's very reassuring to know that there's someone on the end of a phone if any problems occur. We'll definitely be booking with you again, you're the best.
Thank you for Jackie, it means a lot to me x
Looking after you is a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Wendy is so helpful and knowledgeable.
Thank you Anthea
Fantastic experience: First class service from Wendy, Was so helpful with my booking as it is my first time I've flown on my own....
Thank you Ian , I hope you’ve had a great trip ✈️
Fantastic experience: We have just returned from our first cruise for my husband's 60th birthday. We were a bit nervous as only flown couple times within a group holiday. We needn't have worried as Wendy sorted everything for us, talked through the process and paperwork we needed. Unlike high street travel agents where you probably don't deal with same person twice with Wendy you get that personal service as it's Wendy you deal with for everything. I definitely recommend Wendy who provides a first class service, she goes above and beyond and we will be booking holidays through Wendy again. Thank you Wendy for everything you did for us.
Thank you
I’m so glad you loved your first cruise for your special birthday holiday
Look forward to helping you again xx
Fantastic experience: Excellent communication throughout from Wendy. Nothing too much trouble. Had a fabulous holiday
Thank you Sandra, I’m so glad you had a fab time
Fantastic experience: Wendy booked a surprise trip for my son and his friends to the Oktoberfest in Munich. Everything was arranged for them by Wendy and it all went without a hitch. Wendy was fantastic in listening to what I thought they would like to do and she arranged it all, even last minute changes by the boys!! Wendy really cares about the people she helps with their holidays, trips and visits and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Please keep doing the good stuff Wendy and the team
Ahhh thank you for your lovely review
I’m so glad they had the best time - lucky boys to have such a fab surprise
Fantastic experience: Wendy is an absolute expert in her field - such a caring and knowledgable guide to the perfect holiday. She knows and checks personally her destinations, takes care of her clients in such an attentive way too - which I've witnessed. She will save you the trouble of trawling the internet for maybe "bargains" which you might not even be able to trust... why bother, when Wendy already has the expertise and experience to check you in for your dream trip!
Thank you for your lovely words x
Fantastic experience: Finally managed to have a fabulous holiday in Kefalonia which was booked precovid! Didn't have to do anything except pack! Told Wendy where we wanted to go and she was brilliant from start to finish of holiday, she booked everything,if I had a query I was able to contact her straight away for an answer. we were checked in online ,she kept us updated with info and also checked we were all ok whilst there. Fabulous friendly stress free service, thanks again Wendy xx
Thank you Lynne! I’m so glad you enjoyed your long awaited holiday
Always a pleasure looking after you x
Fantastic experience: I have just had the most amazing holiday in Austria organised by Wendy. She goes above and beyond to make sure your trip is everything you expect it to be and more. Austria in the summer is fabulous for everyone including families as loads for the kids to do. I can’t recommend Wendy highly enough and youare completely covered and looked after if anything goes wrong, which fortunately it didn’t!
Thank you Lisa, I’m so glad you enjoyed your holiday!
Fantastic experience: We had the holiday of our lives planned by Wendy. The care and precision provided to us was above and beyond! Headed back to see what adventure she can plan us next
Ahh thank you! What an adventure you had! Look forward to planning your next one
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Wendy by my sister and I don't regret it thank you Wendy for taking care of my whole trip you listened to what I wanted and got me the best deal you could for my budget. I would definitely use Wendy again and recommend her highly. Knowing I have her support and knowledge made my trip to Scandinavia easier and with peace of mind.
Thank you Erica, I’m so glad you’re enjoying your dream holiday
Fantastic experience: Our first holiday booked with Wendy and everything went swimmingly! No problems and Wendy was an email away to help with any queries! Would definitely book with her again!!
Thank you Grace! A pleasure looking after you
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my trip to Tuscany with a group organised by Wendy. Definitely a good option for anyone who wants to travel but not on their own. As well as the travel arrangements, Wendy had arranged for a host who was familiar with the region to take us to Florence, Pisa and Lucca. Great memories and new friends made.
Thank you Clare
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and introduced us to Dobble
