Even though we haven't been able to reopen our shop fully to the public since March (with the exception of appointments, when allowed to open as a 'non-essential shop'), we have continued to be on the phones and emails. We have, of course, missed being able to see our lovely clients face-to-face like we used to!

In the Words of Our Clients

Dear Julie We would like to thank you and all the staff in your office for the faultless arrangements you made on our behalf including the cabin we requested and the taxi to and from the docks. We are now studying your brochures and deciding which holiday to book with you for next year.

Mr Hicks

Hi Sharon - Got home late Tuesday night after a marvellous cruise on board Nautica. Thank you so much for all you did for us. Please also thank Amy for all her hard work on the travel guides - they were very useful and educational.

Mr and Mrs Crocker

We returned from our P&O cruise last Saturday 19th December and feel so grateful for the arrangements you made. We would especially like to thank you for getting us a table for 2 in the dining room as with my wife having a hearing problem her life is made a misery on large tables as she cannot hear conversations when more than one person is talking. This is the second time we have used you and will return to you for our next cruise.

G. Watts

Dear Sarah, just a short note to tell you how good the holiday was and to thank you for all your help throughout the booking process. Everything went smoothly, from being collected from home, the three flights and the subsequent pick up at New Orleans Airport for transport to the Hilton Hotel. The hotel was excellent and only a few yards from where the American Queen docked. The stateroom was excellent, the food to die for, both in presentation and quality, with service to match. At each port the vessel stopped at, there were coaches waiting to take us on “hop-on/hop-off" tours with excellent local guides. I would heartily recommend this holiday without reservation. Thank you.

Harry

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for organising a fantastic holiday. The local people in Costa Rica are amongst the friendliest we have encountered anywhere in the world. Pacuare Lodge was a simply awesome experience, the white water rafting in/out of the complex was exhilarating and despite Sally’s trepidation she loved it too. At the lodge itself, the accommodation, food and staff were top draw, could not be faulted. The rain forest is fascinating and to spend a few days without electricity really improves your sleep, amazing. Heartily recommend Costa Rica to anyone thinking of visiting Central America, safe, friendly and great local experience.

Peter

Dear Julie Thank you for recommending and coaxing me to book a holiday with Just You. Not just that, but making the whole experience of booking a 'singles' holiday easy. As you know I was dubious about travelling alone but after talking to you I decided to go ahead. I thoroughly enjoyed my Discover Sicily holiday and will certainly book with Just You again. Will you please let Just You know how impressed I was with our guide Nensi, she was friendly, informative and caring to our group. A real asset to the company.

Miss Brennan

Hi Sharon, I'd just like to say thank you to you and Select Travel for organising everything for us. The weather in Santorini was perfect for the wedding and the resort where the wedding took place was stunning, it overlooked the bay where all the cruise ships docked, so I'm sure people who have been with Select Travel Cruises have stopped at this port. Thanks once again to you and Select Travel for organising our holiday the service that was provided was excellent and we would recommend Select Travel to anyone who wants to book a holiday, personal service is so much better than booking it on the Internet yourself and easier!!!

Liz G

Excellent service all round. I will definitely use Select Travel Holidays again.

Rudi

Hi Sarah Apologies for my tardy response. It was a fabulous event and thank you for inviting us to it. Please pass our thanks to the rest of the team. Very informative and relaxed. We will definitely book with you for a River Cruise, not quite sure when. Hope you are well. Warm wishes

Mrs Stewart

Thank you Bella for all your patience with us when booking our safari/beach holiday. Everything went so smoothly. It was an experience of a lifetime. Kind regards

Mr & Mrs Snow

Hello Sharon Yes, we had a very enjoyable holiday with Great Rail Journeys to Nice and Cote D’Azur. The travel arrangements were very well organised, the Hotel Westminster was superbly located on the Promenade des Anglais, and there was a good choice of excursions. Our Great Rail Tour Manager, Julian, was very good – friendly, efficient and helpful. Thank you again for your all your work in handling our holiday booking – it is much appreciated and we’ll definitely be calling in again to Select Travel Holidays in future.

Mr & Mrs Law

I would like to thank Julie and her colleagues at Select Travel Holidays who have made all the arrangements for my holiday with care and efficiency. I recommend the services of Select Travel Holidays for help, suggestions and advice on travel and holidays. Kind regards,

Mr Webb

Hi Bella and team Just a quick thank you for organising our holiday to Grand Teguise Playa. The hotel was lovely and we all had a great holiday. Thanks again
