All of our holidays we have booked have been excellent.
We have been very well looked after, everything organised, especially with my husband being disabled.
Thank you for all of the advice you have given us, to make our holidays enjoyable.
We both look forward to booking more holidays in the future, wouldn't go anywhere else

Just back from a lovely break in Sorrento, Italy with TUI.
Would certainly recommend ‘Grand Hotel Vesuvio’ - very clean, comfortable and great location.
Thank you so much for an excellent service - would certainly recommend Westoe Travel and would have no hesitation in booking future holidays through yourselves again.
Kind Regards

Just a note to say we really enjoyed our break last weekend to Leeds and Carlisle/Settle. The Park Plaza was very good. We thought we were getting a continental breakfast, but got a full English breakfast which was very good. Staff were very friendly and professional.
All trains were on time. The train to Carlisle from Leeds stopped at 16 stations, that must be some kind of record, but we had plenty of time and the scenery was fantastic, so we enjoyed it. Just one point you may wish to mention, the train only takes cash due to poor internet reception, we were ok as we always carry some. Thanks again a great little break.

Hello Gillian
I just want to let you know we had a great time on our trip to Paris. I want to thank you for sorting out the train tickets especially due to the train strike.
I am really writing to let you know the Riviera tour guide Johnathon was brilliant, he was so good. He has lots of information which he must research and then is happy to share his knowledge. He took time to show people how to use the public transport and in some of our free time took us into Paris to look closer at more interesting things. I think at times he went above his remit to ensure everyone was safe, comfortable and had a really good time. Everyone was praising Johnathon and I think he made what would have been a good trip a brilliant experience.
If you could please let Riviera Travel know that Johnathon is a really brilliant tour guide and an asset to their company.
Thanks again Gillian for your help.
See you again soon.

Myself and wife have literally just arrived home from a great trip to London. It was a very easy straight forward booking with westoe travel. I emailed them my choice of travelling date and times of Train's and they replied within an hour with my options for a Hotel, then I called and made the booking and paid over the phone.
As an Entertainer myself either a working performing trip to London or a family trip I honestly wouldn't book a trip to London with anyone else.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for helping book our most recent sun holiday.
The hotel had been recommended by a friend and also yourselves, and it certainly did not disappoint.
From arrival to departure it was amazing with fabulous food, entertainment and or course drinks.
Thank you again for helping us book.
We are now looking for a holiday for 2024 and will be in touch very soon to see if you can help out with suggestions.

Just a quick email to say how much I appreciated the assistance I was given by one of your staff members, Alice. When booking a day trip to Bowness and Keswick recently. she went out of her way to make sure that I was on the same coach as my elderly aunt who was also on the trip. Because I booked late. only a few days before the excursion, I wasn't sure whether I would be able to get a seat on the same coach but Alice arranged it so that my wife and I were in the seats behind my aunt which made the trip so much more enjoyable. Please pass on our thanks to her from us all.

Just to say thanks to you all. We booked our accommodation and trains with you for our trip to Edinburgh on 30th May.
The hotel was superb and thanks to you organising an alternative train for 31st, when rail strikes were affecting our journey home, went without a hitch.
I can’t speak too highly of you.

Hi Graeme & Alice,

I'm about to go on our first ever family cruise , before going to Westoe travel I looked at Tui , Dawson and Hays, 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 just wanted to let you know that once again it was a perfect package, with well timed, minimally stopping trains and a really good hotel, ideal for London.

Good value as well

Hi Alice
We would like to "Thank You" for recommending the trip to Iceland....we had a brilliant time
I've attached 3 pictures from the trip as we were REALLY fortunate in that we saw the Northern Lights (we got told only 20% of the trips you get to see the lights!!). The Golden Circle trip was great... as was the FlyOverIceland simulator ride
The weather was spot on and the views breathtaking
Thanks again..... and please don't forget us if anything crops up with New York.... October time B & C 23 April
Just wanted to congratulate you and thank you for an absolutely fantastic 4-day rail break to Dundee! It is excellent value-for-money. Dundee is amazing! The trip to St Andrew's was wonderful and most memorable. The Hilton Hotel is absoluitely top-notch! The folk of Dundee must be the friendliest in Scotland! Everyone made us feel welcome and special.

from Julie Wendy kacie and brinie 1 September 2021
Good morning. I booked a 3 day 2 night trip to London via yourselves with Harry Potter tour included for me and my daughter. I just wanted to say what an absolutely amazing time we had. You organised everything for us,all we had to do was collect our tickets and turn up in the right places at the right times. I requested an early train outgoing and later train coming home which you absolutely delivered. The coach collected us spot on to the Warner Bros Studio and again to bring us back. The tour itself was fantastic.
Our accommodation was perfect, so central and right next to the tube, theatre and bus stops and within 10 minute walks of places we wanted to be. It was also a lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff.
This was a present for my daughter which we had been looking forward to for months and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for a brilliant, well organised break. I will definitely book again and have highly recommended you to everyone I know.
Kind regards

Hi just wanted to thank you all at Westoe Travel for sorting out our weekend in London out 2 weeks ago.
We had a wonderful time celebrating our 21st anniversary. The Cavendish hotel was tremendous, train travel went without a hitch and the Ritz was out of this world. We also managed to get there and back before the COVID lockdown.
Thank you, we will be booking with you again on another trip.
Kind regards, Steve & Susan

LIVERPOOL AND CHESTER
We returned from our trip yesterday.
Every train was exactly on time. Plenty of seats available and socially distanced. The hotel was in a great location, the continental breakfast included hot food, the staff were friendly and helpful. We felt they managed the Covid secure arrangements very well.
Chester was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to have sunshine for our day trip.
Thanks for including admission to The Beatles Story. It’s not somewhere I would have prioritised (so many places to pick from) but it really was well worth visiting. And of course it was uncrowded and leisurely.
We had a great few days, it was excellent value for money.
Thanks

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.

I would definitely book here again, and particularly with Graeme as he really did his best for us.

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.
28 February 2019
David C to Westoe Travel
"My wife, Jill and I, have just returned from a very special "retirement" holiday in New Zealand. We spoke to Graeme, who, using his extensive knowledge, helped us plan our itinerary. We used ANZCO, as the travel provider who arranged all of the accommodation. Prior to departure, we were provided with a book of 25 vouchers, for airport pick up, car rental, trips, rail journeys and hotels. Everything went like clockwork. This was our first trip to NZ, and if it wasn't so far away we'd be back tomorrow! Westoe Travel did an amazing job, and they come highly recommended."

My sister booked a weekend trip to London for the two of us last weekend . We travelled by train from Newcastle upon Tyne and stayed in The President Hotel overlooking Russel Square for two nights and pre-booked tickets with yourselves as part of the break to see the Lion King while we were there.
May I say a big thank you for a first class hotel stay, good food and wonderful seats in the Lyceum Theatre the show was the icing on the cake. We both had a fabulous weekend and are still amazed at the value for money of this trip considering the standards we received.
Thanks again and here is to the next trip with yourselves hopefully soon.

Westoe travel organised my honeymoon to Canada. My partner and I wanted to go to the Rockies and go to as many places as possible within our budget.
Westoe travel organised the whole thing.
Our train to London
Overnight stay at the airport
Flight to Calgary
Our car
2 nights in Banff
A gondola trip
2 nights in lake Louise
2 nights in jasper
A wildlife tour
Overnight train to Vancouver
2 nights in Vancouver
Flight back to London
Train home from London
We only chose 1 hotel out of them all (fairmont lake Louise) - the rest they chose for us.
each hotel was welcoming, comfortable and easy to find. Each hotel gave us a free bottle of wine / champagne / prosecco for our honeymoon. One hotel even upgraded our room type too.
Because of their experience in Canada themselves, they were able to give us directions and gave us specific details on trails, walkways, tea rooms, things to go, what to see. We even received a printed sheet (and website url) for bear sightings for the local area.
Everything we needed we received in a pack, in order. It was well presented, a few personal touches added too and came in a little travel wallet with everything together and room to store our passports. We kept it with us throughout the holiday and it was amazingly handy!
The holiday itself was fantastic, we came very close to a grizzly bear !
When we arrived home, there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for us from westoe travel too!
Totally amazing. Experts at everything. Would recommend to anyone !!
Thank you so much for making our honeymoon as perfect and smooth running as it was !! S and S

I am Sophie 22 years of age with a diagnosis on the Autism Spectrum. I currently attend Autism Able and I am the learner representative on behalf of the young people involved in the group. I would just like to thank you for kindly donated prizes towards our raffle and event which has raised a total of £2052 at the Cluny event. This will help our project grow and will go towards equipment and activities that support our needs. Without your help and support this would not have been possible and we are all very grateful for your kindness.
The group has given me so much confidence with my singing and also interacting with new people which with having autism can be difficult but more importantly has helped me to believe when i have doubted myself. I now look forward to performing in front of others with my singing especially as part of the autism able singers It gives me a lot of focus and sense of belonging when I am struggling with a few things and also rehearsing every thursday brings us closer together in friendship and working as part of a team. Autism Able is not just a group for socialising.We are supported to make sure we overcome our difficulties and anxieties and learn new skills along the way. Thanks again for your kindness,
Sophie P 3. Sept 2015 On behalf of the autism able learners

Hi, just sending this email to say thank you for organising a super break for us.
We rang on 24 June and asked if you could arrange anything for London for me and my husband for the following week.
Martin rang us back several times and got us booked in to the President Hotel at Russell Square from 30 June for 2 nights. As Wimbledon was starting, London was busy but he got us sorted anyway.
We had a great time, train from Sunderland was so convenient, hotel was great and we had a 3 course free evening meal, which was very impressive. Weather was fantastic, so we had a brilliant time.
Thank you so much. We were in need of a change of scenery and had a wonderful time. We really appreciate your efforts and hope to book another break with you later this year.

Mrs G. (London break. had booked for 104 people with Westoe Travel and they could not get home on Monday 28 October as storms prevented trains from operating. Westoe Travel arranged an extra night in the hotel and new seat reservations on the trains for all passengers at no extra cost)
Just to say a big "THANK YOU" for a great holiday!! We went on you 2 night rail break to London. The President Hotel (Russell Square) was central, a lovely area, good hotel plenty og hot water!! (essential!) and a great breakfast, best I've ever had in a hotel! The river trip too was an added bonus.
I could recommend this holiday to anyone. "Agents Excellence Award" is well deserved!!
So thank you so much - keep up the good work! We'll be back!!
p.s. London Map and Tube Map added bonus also.

My husband and I travelled by rail from Newcastle on 23rd July and returned home the following day. All arrangements were made by Westoe Travel, including tickets for the Pompeii and Herculaneum Exhibition at the British Museum. The Museum was only a few minutes walk from the President Hotel. Because of your organisation, we had a most enjoyable trip.
Many thanks

Thanks so much for sorting out our holiday to Florida.
It was absolutely fantastic & a big thank you for all the tips and advice you gave me it made the holiday so much easier & enjoyable .
The hotel was fantastic & we loved going to downtown disney on an evening on the boat .
Stopping at the Universal hotel was another brilliant part of the holiday. It was well worth the money we paid because of the fast pass & the day we went to Islands of Adventure we had been on the Harry Potter ride by 8.15am as there was no queue & had the rest of the day to enjoy the park .
Afterwards we went back to the Lowes Pacific & our son played in the fantastic pool which they have which had loads of water cannons to squirt each other with .
Thanks again

We will definitely consider booking with you again .

We have just returned from a Westoe Superbreak to London by rail 22-24 September. We would just like to thank you for your excellent administration and great value. The paperwork for the Houses of Parliament, the Leonardo da Vinci Exhibition and Buckingham Palace was flawless.
The enclosure of maps and relevant information was most helpful and the train seating excellent. The hotel was very comfortable and in an excellent location.
We are at a loss to know how you made any profit at all
Gillian D 28 September 2012
Special thanks for all your help in organising our trip by Eurostar to Bruges at Easter. It was very well organised and the Tour Manager was great.

I would like to take this opportunity of saying how impressed with the extremely helpful service i received when making a booking yesterday.
The lady i spoke to (Joan) could not have been more helpful/friendly Nothing was too much trouble for her to explain.
I have dealt with many travel companies over the years but have to say the customer service i received on this occasion surpassed anything that has gone before.
Many thanks, one again
