Thank you so much for the review. This means so much to us
Fantastic experience: We have just come home from a great trip to London. It was a very easy straight forward booking with westoe travel. I emailed them my dates ( 4 weeks notice) and they replied within 24hrs with my options and then I called and made the booking and paid over the phone. I wouldn't book a london trip with anyone else. Last year we did the same and had a lovely shock when we came to go home and we were 1st class seats. The hotel was the Royal national both times. Perfect location we didn't really spend much time in it but round the corner to the tube or walking distance to King's Cross and Covent garden.
Thank you so much for the review which is greatly appreciated

many thanks for your review which is greatly appreciated
Fantastic experience: I'm about to go on our first ever family cruise , before going to Westoe travel I looked at Tui , Dawson and Hayes, Westoe came out on top . It came down to the tentative personal care you feel , I'm a sceptic by nature , I've worked in the service industry for over 40 years and can be a very difficult customer, as I expect the best , we booked back in February and yesterday had a hard time using the cruises app when booking excursions, went to westoe travel spoke to Alice, and not only did she solve the problem immediately, she gave us brilliant advice on what to do and which excursions are best value for money, totally went above and beyond and TOTALLY changed me from being a sceptic to totally relaxed. Bravo Alice I'll let you all know how the cruise goes ,and if the cruise company change my scepticism..WATCH THIS SPACE
Thank you for the review which is greatly appreciate.
We are very proud of Alice and her attention to detail
Fantastic experience: Never been disappointed wouldn't use anyone else
Thank you for your lovely review which is greatly appreciated
Negative experience: Went to Wembley for the match and were stopping at Watford Hotel. were did they drop us off hotel at Watford no Kensington London right outside Dorchester hotel. Nothing to do but get taxis to trafalgar Square costing money there and back. Then back on bus and spent over 2 hours getting to where we should have been in the first place .
Thank you for the feedback.
This tour was operated by Caledonian Travel, for whom we are agents, and any feedback can be forwarded to ourselves and we will pass to the tour operator on your behalf.
However, we would point out,that for large sporting events coach operators have to contact their local Police Football Liason team and are given clear instructions for where they can stop/drop offFor example the Police allocate specific motorway services to be used by each team's supporters to avoid any conflict with large numbers of supporters for different teams arriving at the same services.
Similarly with regard to parking in Central London, the police would not allow coaches in the vicinity of Trafalgar Square and allocated the area on Park Lane, near the Dorchester Hotel, for Newcastle United supporters, with a separate location for Manchester United supporters.
This is 400 metres from Hyde Park Underground and the Piccadilly line is three stops to Leicester Square and then another 500 metres to Trafalgar Square.
We would be very keen to discuss this with you if you call us on 0191 4552292 or email [email protected].
We have contacted the lead passenger who made the booking for you but unfortunately he did not have contact details for you.
Finally I would add that your colleague who was the lead passenger made a provisional booking prior to the semi final and our team came back into work after the semi final and worked until 4-30am to confirm all of the provisional bookings as a priority. Your groups booking was processed at 2331 (1131pm on 31 January)
Positive experience: Staff very helpful and knowledgable. Gave good advice and information.

Fantastic experience: We recently booked our flights with this branch of Westoe travel, a small family run travel shop. Never having been in here before I was pleasantly surprised. The office is very small but Grahame had a very good knowledge of our Australian destination and is very pleasant to deal with. I would definitely book here again, and particularly with Grahame as he really did his best for us.

Fantastic experience: Thank you to all at WESTOE TRAVEL for another fantastic holiday booked through yourselves. Our trip to Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii and the Bay of Naples was superb !

The service, food and rooms were all first class. We are so pleased that we have found a travel agent that really puts the customer to the heart of everything they do. Thank you again.

Thank you Mark, your feedback is really appreciated
Fantastic experience: My wife and I wanted to go to New Zealand. We had never been there before. We first of all spoke to Graeme, who asked that we decide what we wanted to see. We then called into Westoe Travel, where Graeme spent a good hour going through tourist spots. Without his knowledge we would have come unstuck. We chose accommodation and trips through the company Anzcro. Prior to departure, we were given a book of vouchers, which we used for car hire, hotels, trips etc. We had transfers attending on time, all hotels were expecting us, everything went like clockwork. Graeme recommended Doubtful Sound, over the popular Milford Sound. We did a fantastic 24 hour trip, staying over night on a 75 passenger cruise ship, which was awesome. A “Top Tip” is to ensure you pre-book all your trips. People were turning up, for example, whale watching, to find the trip was fully booked.
Thank you for the review, your comments are really appreciated
Fantastic experience: Extremely patient and helpful
Thank you Teresa
Fantastic experience: Spot on as usual
Thank you very much, your support is greatly appreciated
Positive experience: Always been great until last trip to Manchester to find even though we had paperwork for hotel , we weren't booked in.The hotel was fully booked.So over an hour hanging round until we got booked into another hotel.Would still use them again as long as they rang up to confirm booking had gone through
The hotel send their apologies for their mixup.Glad you got sorted
Fantastic experience: Saved me a small fortune excellent service
