Market Place Travel: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We have had many holidays over the past few years. Would highly recommend them. They are so helpful . Every holiday that we have been on were all booked to suit our needs. Even have more booked this year and next and cannot wait. Best travel agents around.
Fantastic experience: We haven't yet been on our holidays we have booked with Market Place (June/October next year), however I can't speak highly enough of how happy we have been and easy they have made it for us to book our family holidays. Our last holiday we had an awful experience, and have been very stressed about getting it wrong again, and telling Katie this and basically dumping our whole story on them with absolutely no plans, she gave us great advice and helped us with brilliant deals. Not only this, due to our bad experience last time (self booked through TUI, no agent involved) we had a situation where the hotel had been massively downgraded and reviews had bombed, so we have been checking and checking. We noticed bad reviews for the second of the holidays we have booked over the last month consistently landing on TripAdvisor, got in touch with the team through their website out of hours. First thing the next morning Mark called, completely took the stress of the situation on the call and invited us in to get sorted. Saturday we went in ( I did check with Mark as didn't want to be a nuisance on a busy day for their agents, and Mark again said absolutely not, come on down) and we were looked after so well. We have been able to find a stunning holiday, and more importantly, we are now confident enough we can look forward to it and our one in June. Thank you all at Market Place, can't wait for our holidays! Sorry for the essay!
Fantastic experience: Ady & Tina Downes on at Motswari Game reserve...... absolutely FABULOUS - thank you so very much
Fantastic experience: Booked our first holiday abroad for 20+ years through Market Place Travel and they couldn't have been more helpful. Great service, helped and advised us with everything we needed and our holiday was everything we wanted, and more.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic helpful travel agency, always so helpful, booked lots of holidays with them. Will never go anywhere else. Absolutely brilliant.
Fantastic experience: Always helpful, time for you no matter what listen to your needs for your holiday, and Always well dressed and shop is is very neat and Always coffee on
Fantastic experience: Excellent service for Sonia, sorted out our Berlin break, even though I messed up with a name spelling, a quick email and it was soon sorted. Would highly recommend Market Place Travel
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the service I received and the price.
Fantastic experience: The people who work at Market Place Travel can be legitimately called experts in their field. We were to have our first holiday since 2006 and so, when we arrived in store, we were greeted in a friendly way and offered to be seated with a fresh cup of coffee for each of us. We briefly gave a very short list of more or less, where we wanted to go, the dates and the airport we wished to fly from. Then the agent flicked through his computer and came up with everything that suited us. The hotel, location, the weather, were second to none and we were both living in sheer bliss for our one week holiday. My husband and I will be returning to Market Place travel, again, very soon and we have every confidence that you will find us a tailor made holiday again for next year. We both thoroughly recommend this travel agency to all that need any help and/or advice with travel, business or pleasure, to anywhere in the world. Thank you Marketplace Travel. *****

Thank you ;-)
Fantastic experience: We have booked a few holidays through Market Place Travel and Kate has always been very helpful. Earlier this year Kate helped us plan a fantastic trip to Iceland and recommended different excursions. We had a great time! Kate always responds promptly to any enquiries that we have and responds with all the information that we ask for. A great experience booking with Market Place Travel and I will definitely be booking future holidays with them.
Thank you so much Amy - I'll pass this onto Katie. Always so happy to help you!
Fantastic experience: Booked a cruise through Amy at Market Place Travel. After I made an online query she responded quickly and her communication was brilliant. She managed to get the holiday £40 cheaper than it would have been if booked directly with the cruise company. Will definitely book through Market Place Travel again
Thank you so much - over the moon with this 5 star review
Fantastic experience: Just booked my second holiday with Liam who managed to get me 2 brilliants deals. He was very patient with all my questions and changing of locations.

Thank you - I'll be sure to pass this lovely feedback onto Liam

Thank you lovely Susan! We've been booking you for years now and can't thank you enough! x
Negative experience: My partner and I have booked loads of holidays abroad from here 3/4 per year but unfortunately recently there back up service has been very poor of late we have had to chase them for updates and information you try ringing and the response time is poor after leaving messages. They seem happy to take your money then forget all about you
Hi Stephen - We're gutted to hear this. If you call myself (Mark) on 01283 511190 I will happily have a chat with you to see how I can try to rectify this for you. Again, many apologies
Fantastic experience: Have just come back from a holiday in Greece that these lovely people put together for us. Ever bit of our 10 days was so relaxing and calming and not a single thing went wrong. Just want to say a massive thank you to the Market Place Travel. It was a great experience all round
Thank you for this Tracee and I'm so happy you had a wonderful time and the pics are wonderful!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Much easier for me than tapping one fingered on tablet. Hannah did the honours efficiently and even gave a laugh at my weak jokes. Thankyou Hannah.
Hi Mick - I'll be sure to let Hannah read this if she's not still laughing at your "weak jokes" ;-) Thank you for this lovely review.
Fantastic experience: Mark has looked after us for a very long time. Always professional but friendly with it. He makes you feel so relaxed and under no pressure at all. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Hi both - thank you! Kate will be made up with such nice words!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and helpful !
thank you so much Tony
Fantastic experience: I love everything about this company!!! Since thay have opened I have booked all my holidays with them. Each member of the team has exceptional customer service and nothing is too much trouble. They are always spot on with recommendations and listen to what you want from your holiday. As for sorting refunds out for holidays that have been cancelled due to covid, I have had 3 cancelled and each time was advised that it would take longer than normal, however this hasn't been a problem as I understood that staff were limited and the mammoth task they had was understandable!!! The people that have commented about it saying its bad service are wrong for saying that and obviously don't understand what it's been like for the travel industry!! I highly recommend this company and will never go anywhere else to book my holidays!!!
Thank you to our lovely Michelle. Your loyalty has always meant the world to us xx
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff that go that extra mile to help you and get the best price for your holiday.
Thank you Terence. we'll always strive to get you the best price.

Thanks Guy - always happy to help ;-)
Fantastic experience: Very good and sincere company to deal with!! Fantastic service, even though didn’t get away cos of CV19, the refund process and efficiency was 2nd to none! Thankyou so much Mark and Karen!!
Thanks for the 5 stars Jez ;-)
Negative experience: Today I have been extremely disappointed and saddened by the services offered in the store. When going to look at booking a holiday with my boyfriend we were made fun of for considering a holiday to Thailand for 7 nights and told it was a silly idea, however yesterday a 7 night trip to Thailand was being promoted on market place travels Facebook page! when asked for recommendations we were told to just choose something quick when we come in to book it and not given any guidance at all. We went in there 30 minutes before closing and felt like we were being kicked out before we even came in! I’ve always used market place travel as the place to go to book a holiday along with friends and family relying on their friendly, helpful service. I’m absolutely shocked at the way we were treated and how they took the excitement out of me and my boyfriend booking our first holiday together. We shall be looking elsewhere going forward and hopefully can find a fab holiday on our own!!
Hi Abbie,
A million apologies for how this may have come across. As mentioned in one of your previous reviews we were merely highlighting how the logistics of travelling to Thailand in a 6 day working gap (2 days of which would include travelling) that this would be a massive take on. We apologise if this came across wrong on the day and if there is anything we can do to make up for this then please let us know. Again, we apologise if this is how it came across... please rest assured we had your best intentions at heart and we are extremely sorry for any distress caused. Regards, Market Place Travel
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and always happy to help find your dream holiday
Thank you soooooo much Amanda …. Its very much appreciated
Negative experience: Absolutely, appalling customer service skills Will never use again, highly advise not to use.
Hi Bridie
Im so sorry to read this bad review. I can assure you that what ever issue has arisen it wouldn't have been intentional. If you would like to call our store and ask for Mark I would like to discuss the issues and try and rectify it for you if you give us the chance? Regards, Market Place Travel
