Travel expert tips in London

“We did the Marylebone food tour- myself and some German colleagues I had visiting. It was amazing, so well organised and such a varied selection of food/drink and history. Bravo Charley and team, we'll be back for more.”

“Booked a trip to Vienna with help from Stephanie. She was very helpful and courteous. Travel arrangements went to plan and hotel was brilliant. I will be using the company again and have recommended it to friends.Thanks for everything.”

“My family and I have used Ontime Hajj and Umrah twice now Alhamdulillah to perform Umrah. Firstly, we were a huge group on both occasions (30+ people). Our needs were met both times as were all requirements from hotel location to travel arrangements. Service was amazing!! If you are looking for good travel rates and do not want the hassle of comparison, check out Ontime Hajj and Umrah Services who will ensure your needs are all met IA.”

“Excellent service very cooperative staff highly recommended travel agents in Ilford (London)”

“I found this travel agents after some research and what a gem, my wife and I have always wanted to see the Polar Bears live but arranging the travel to Churchill in Canada was a nightmare. With the help of Frontier Travel we made a custom-built itinerary just right for us whilst also being covered by ABTA and ATOL. The first-hand knowledge and suggestions made to us was superb enabling us to have a holiday of a lifetime, and yes we saw Bears, lots of them.”

“Mans Best Friend Kensington & Chelsea Doggy Daycare is beyond brilliant. I have been bragging at the local dog park about Emma and her amazing team of doggy carers!! My little frenchie “lulu” has been attending since she was 4 months old - it has helped her so much in terms of socialisation, positive behaviours, and stimulation!! Jake is her favourite human who collects her and brings her home each day & who she goes to for cuddles as often as possible!! Highly recommend this daycare (& I did a ton of research & trials before I chose these super dog heroes!).”

“I couldn’t recommend Serena and Lead the Walk higher. I have a very reactive dog when it comes to grooming, before Serena committed to taking her on, we discussed in length my dogs needs and how we could hope Serena would be able to help and work with my dog. Given the challenges my dog can create, she always comes out of her grooming sessions fully washed and cut to a high standard, as Serena gives her the time and attention a dog with needs like hers requires. I can’t thank Lead the Walk higher for their work.”

“I have visited this salon a few times. I have always had my hair cut by Kheng. Kheng is a very talented stylist and a really nice guy as well. He is a real asset to this salon. My next appointment is already booked.”

“Had the best experience. Got my haircut done by Noelle. She is amazing and very attentive. The whole atmosphere is friendly and relaxing”

“Very professional, always very pleasant and easy to contact, I highly recommend this excellent team for visa.”

“I'm searching agencies on Google who could help me to apply Schengen visa for my my boss and his family, I found this visa agents ltd website and I directly massage them through WhatsApp contact. Mr. Ujjawal is assisting and help me on the process, Within that day I inquire them and after we pay, he processed the application very fast, The whole process went smoothly and Mr. Ujjawal and team know what they are into. Visa decision is not made by them, but when you process and try to avoid all possible mistakes together as a team, it was an interesting process and I was confident this time even after submission and my boss and the family Schengen Visa got approved. Thank you so much!”

“Absolutely outstanding customer service. Efficient and professional. Good people! 5 stars from me.”

“Used for our previous house move over 9 years ago, we went back to Aspen for our new move and weren't disappointed. All the team were very professional, yet personable with our "challenging" sale. Highly recommend Aspen Residential and Carla was first class with her communication, persistence and support! Thank you.”

“Just came back from Al Aqsa with Al Israa tour company. What a beautiful experience mostly because we such amazing and attention to detail tour guides who clearly knew there stuff. Al Israa’s accommodation is about 7 mins from the Al Aqsa compound. The hotel staff was friendly, the rooms clean and food good. Highly recommend if you want to know the history of this magnificent majestic land and it’s people who by the way are super friendly.”

“Being my first visit to Seoul (and South Korea in general), I decided to book a day-long one-on-one personalized tour of what the city has to offer. Oki from City Unscripted was my tour guide and we hit it off immediately! :) She was extremely knowledgeable about the attractions that we visited as well as the city’s history, and really knew her way around town. A few days prior to our meetup, Oki gave me some recommendations based on my feedback on what I wanted to do on our tour (places, food, etc.) and how I wanted to go about it (walking, subway, etc.), so by the time we met for the tour she had a great plan set up while still providing options for flexibility. We started the tour at my hotel, and proceeded to walk around town. Places we visited included Seoul City Hall, Gyeongbokgung Palace (where I toured in rented traditional Hanbok clothing), the Blue House (residence of past presidents), and Gwangjang Market. We ate some amazing Korean barbeque (that we cooked ourselves) at the market, where Oki gave me some helpful tips on how to eat barbecue like a local (which I eventually got the hang of). During the tour Oki also gave me a ton of recommendations on other places to visit while in Seoul (such as Bukchon Hanok Village, which I toured the day after and is awesome by the way), authentic Korean snacks (such as Hotteok, a sweet pancake filled with a sweet delicious syrup), and gift/clothing ideas (such as hats, fridge magnets, bracelets, and artwork). I also learned a couple new Korean words (such as “sugohaseyo”) and customs/habits to kind of help immerse myself in the Korean culture and environment (it seemed to work). I took a ton of pictures, and Oki helped out with taking pictures of me as well. We also took a couple of the obligatory selfies lol! My only critique is that I wish we had more time to tour the city (the time went by so fast, but that happens when you’re having too much fun), but I’ll just have to book another tour when I return to Seoul. I would definitely pick Oki to take me on another tour. Thanks Oki, hope to see you next time! :)”

“We have just returned from a holiday in Sorrento and Ischia, organised by Antonio/ExpertoItaly. We went away to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, so although we have spent many family vacations in and around Sorrento and know the area very well, we sought Antonio’s help to arrange something really special. He succeeded! Antonio listened carefully to our objectives, carefully steered us away from ideas that wouldn’t have worked and suggested things that we would not have thought of ourselves - from attending a wonderfully entertaining Three Tenors concert in Sorrento to staying at the enchanting Botania Relais & Spa on Ischia. He was always readily available before and during the holiday to discuss and adjust details. For example, when we decided - at late notice - to spend the final day of the holiday in Naples, en route from Ischia to the airport, Antonio arranged for us to leave our luggage in storage at a hotel there while we explored the city. Congratulazioni, Antonio - hai colpito la palla fuori dal parco!”

“Jan was absolutely brilliant, she was super responsive and easy to get a hold of. My cat isn’t going exactly super good at travelling to new places. As soon as we met Jan she started to calm her down and make her feel at ease. Once the grooming started my cat loved it, Jan was so gentle and delicate with her. Jam thoroughly brush her out and made her look absolutely amazing! She also gave us some brilliant advice on how to keep her coat looking nice. Thank you so much, Jan!”

“Another excellent service at Two Wheels Only. Done bang on time at a very reasonable price - and bike is running like a dream! I've been using them for many years and they always do a thoroughly professional job - and if you need anything done urgently - they will slot you in straight away. Tomasz the owner could not be more helpful. This place is highly recommended!”

“Swift and clear booking mechanism, and is wonderful to view the carbon footprint of hotels I am staying at. An excellent service!”

“Excellent, punctual. The driver was very polite and accommodating. I will use the service again.”

“The Travel agent I’ve used for the past 9 years. They’re always looking out for great offers and most importantly is the punctuality. They also offer PCR before travelling. Thank you”

“We had a pleasant experience with Jatin from Martyn Gerrard at the Finchley Branch. Thank you for providing a worry-free buying experience with their professionalism, although the buying situation was sort of complicated (with a chain linking three families). We were in such relief when the exchange was done today. I should say the whole procedure was managed by Martyn Gerrard with complete care and empathy- we were satisfied with the process and, sure, the outcome.”

“My family of four loved our stay. We just wish we could have stayed longer. When we arrived, the apartment was clean and you could tell a lot of care and attention has gone into it. There were lots of little extras, like a fan, a printer in case we needed to print tickets and a charging station for our devices. Michael’s team communicated with me throughout the process, from the time I made my reservation to when we checked out. We had an issue with the washing machine, and they kept in touch with me constantly as they tried to find a solution. The apartment itself is in a great location. There was some street noise, mostly from buses driving over the cobblestones, but the building was quiet and we felt very safe. We were minutes away from a bus stop, and the neighborhood was full of great restaurants, shops and things to see. We would absolutely stay here again.”

“Dan and the team at Invitation to Tuscany are superb. The agency is responsive, factual in its representations and provide a great service. I have used them twice over the past few years to book in Tuscany and both holidays were filled with unforgettable memories. If you are considering booking, I can only say “do it, you will not second guess or regret the decision once there!””

“I travelled to Ladakh with Indus Experiences, and the trip included a multi-day hike in the Hemis National Park. We had an excellent local trekking guide, and the porters were fantastic. They brought everything we could possible need, and cooked some wonderful meals. The route we chose was tough, but the scenery was exceptionally beautiful and we had a real sense of achievement at the end. The accommodation was good, the transfers arrived on time, and the drivers were friendly and competent. The tour was competitively priced.”

“Normally eat in, however decided to try a takeaway today. It was just as good as eating in. Food was hot, and tasted delicious. Love this cafe, best in Leyton!”

“The best barbers in South London, friendly and reasonable prices”

“Went to the commission for a passport renewal and was served by Awo. She was really efficient and I could easily tell she knew what she was doing . Also very helpful to me and those she was serving around the time I was there. She apologised for keeping me waiting hence I had to ask for her name after, Overall, I was impressed. Keep up the good work .”

“Popped into Guildford Store with the view of booking a January Getaway! Samantha was extremely professional and very helpful! Walked out with a 10 day break in Barbados! Will definitely recommend this travel agents!”

“Found through a friend and have to say communication and service were faultless. Couldn't do enough to help and when there were a few issues receiving the visa (international post, not the fault of Cubaism) they made sure I received the visa after re-sending free of charge. Would thoroughly recommend their service. Thanks.”
