Stress free holidays in Manchester

“Brilliant service received from David. Responding to messages, arranging the fit and removal of the roofbox, and the roof box itself gave us all the space we needed for a family of four weeks holiday, and at a great price. Will definitely use again.”

“Sept 2025 Nailed it again, popped in to see if the team could suggest a short break in the sun and they came up with Bulgaria, yes I know... Hotel Helena Sands was great a bit quirky but we really liked it, pool was great but cold, then again it was September, mind you we had a lovely heated pool in the Wellness Centre. Outdoor spaces were lovely, room was great we had a pool and sea view with balcony, lovely. Sunny Beach itself was a bit of a mixed bag. long walk all the way down the beachfront Strip to Flower street or you could take the mini train, if you can get one to stop for you! Bus was 2 Lev about £1. Shops and bars all the way. Flower Street was madness at night great for the youngsters. Has a lovely day in Nessebar Old Town, cobbled streets, history, nice shops, better places to eat. Food and drink was very reasonable. Went to Khan's Tent on our last night, dinner, cabaret show and circus entertainers with great views down to Sunny Beach. All in all we had a great time, weather was near perfect. Things were just starting to close down as we left so anytime after September I think it will be a ghost town. Thanks team”

“I can’t thank Ian enough for helping us find such a brilliant holiday at the Kuriat Palace in Tunisia. We had such an amazing time with having lots of things to see and do whilst there. We experienced lovely staff service at the hotel and couldn’t recommend this trip more!”

“Chelsey was very friendly and seemed really invested in the welfare of our two guinea pigs, asking lots of questions about their likes and dislikes, as well as their behaviour. She did a great job cutting their nails and they seemed quite content when I picked them up. It was also nice to see photos of them on Facebook while we were away. Will definitely return!”

“We used Manchester Travels back in 2019 when we went hajj. The service provided by Hafiz Shahin, Kamal bhai and the team was exceptional, they made us feel very comfortable from start to finish. It was then that we promised, we will use Manchester Travels for our family umrah. They didn't disappoint again, as expected, guiding us all the way thorough. My kids felt so relaxed and at home. Having used Manchester Travels twice now, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I highly recommend them for anyone considering booking Hajj or Umrah.”

“Booking for the first time with my holiday after a recomendation from a friend who has used their services many times. Very helpful professional service.. Thankyou to Matt and Simon”

“spoke to Danielle in store, great service and will definitely be back to book my summer holiday, excellent customer service service”

“I'm sorry for not remembering the guys name on entering the store, but he directed us to Laura who found our holiday for us cheaper than the travel agents that we had just come from. She not only got it cheaper for us but she also got an excursion, transfers and extra luggage allowance for us too. Thank you so much from myself and my other half to both of the staff on 11th July 2025 ❤️”

“I booked my holiday through Isobel at the TUI Superstore and the whole experience was genuinely brilliant. I popped into the store a few weeks ago and she gave me a perfectly curated shortlist of options based on exactly what I was looking for. She really listened — and it showed. Every recommendation was spot-on, to the point it was actually hard to choose. After taking some time to think, I called back and Isobel helped me tailor our top choice and get it booked seamlessly over the phone. The entire process felt supported, simple, and surprisingly enjoyable. Having her expert knowledge on hand meant I finally felt confident in my decision… instead of disappearing into weeks (let’s be honest, months) of online scrolling and still booking nothing. Thank you, Isobel — you turned what could’ve been a faff into something effortless. I’ll absolutely be booking with you again.”

“A big thank you to Yuri at the Manchester Fort branch for helping us book our holiday. He was very diligent in his approach and it was a seamless journey throughout the booking process. Thank you to the wider team for their warm welcome too.”

“Julie, at your store in Market Street Manchester couldn't have been more helpful.She was cheerful, pleasant, knowledgeable and took notice of all our specific requirements with confidence and efficiency.The whole experience was much simpler and faster.than I had anticipated - and all thanks to Julie. I hope there is some way of passing on our thanks to her.”

“We had an amazing experience booking our first TUI Marella cruise. Holly, our Tui agent was brilliant she was so knowledgeable about the cruises and her advice was great in choosing the right cruise for us. We would definitely recommend TUI Rochdale, and Holly was fantastic ! Thankyou !”

“Had a fantastic 5 days in Devon, staying at the Headland hotel. The food was good quality and ample, breakfast was self serve with a good choice available. Evening dinner was exceptionally good with a varied menu and the waitress couldn't do enough for us. Goeff, our driver was brilliant. I would not hesitate to book with this company again.”

“All the staff (especially Katieann) are so helpful, friendly and so approachable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I recommend to all my friends to go to Manchester Virgin. I only know the staff through going to Manchester Virgin but they come across as your friends. Just what you want when you are shopping around for a holiday. X”

“We came in yesterday with a vague idea of what we wanted for our honeymoon, but it required multiple bookings, so we hoped Virgin may be able to help and arrange it all for us. We were greeted by a lady called Nicole, and provided with drinks and cake upon arrival. Nicole was incredibly helpful. She's very well travelled and took so much time to piece together our honeymoon ideas. In store she explored many different options for us and created a comprehensive quotation for us to consider which was emailed to us. In the meantime we did some research into other possibilities, emailed Nicole and she was so quick to amend each quote for us. Nicole is an asset to the store and has genuinely crafted our dream honeymoon, which I'm thrilled to say we booked today. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend pop in and see her. Thank you so much Nicole, from Madison and Jonty xx”

“I’ve been going with this company for a number of years and have found them nothing but completely professional. I have stayed in various apartments around los Gigantes and have loved every one of them. We go back every year and THA have always been on hand to help with any issues. My kettle broke down and they provided another one the next day. The UK representative is always happy to help. Would definitely recommend.”

“I recently used Northern Holidays to book a flight from London to Colombo and Colombo to Australia. Lisa is is very kind and experienced. She processed the booking over the phone and proceeded to give correct information. She is trust worthy and helpful.”

“Excellent. Informative and prompt. When I had a problem they calmly help me through. Accommodating and brilliant problem solvers. Top drawer.”

“Amazing customer service by Amir, helped me through booking my perfect holiday, had the best time away and would highly recommend 10/10, would rate more stars if I could”

“First class services from start to finish. The attention to detail in tailoring our itinerary was amazing. Throughout our incredible holiday in India, we were taken care of throughout the trip, with wonderful representatives, fantastic tour guides, and brilliant drivers. The hotels and experiences that were arranged were out of this world, and they really do care about the environment and cultures of where they operate. It was a real privilege to see and experience. What also impressed me about Conscious Travel was their ability to adapt to any last minute requests and deliver, even when you think it was not possible. Our holiday was unbelievable and it’s all thanks to Conscious Travel. I highly recommend Conscious Travel to anyone and I will definitely be using them for future travel plans.”

“Black Opal Travel Group planned the most incredible USA driving tour for me and my family. Every step of the way we were looked after, all our requests and family's needs were accommodated. Everything ran smoothly from departure to return. We highly recommend Black Opal and our Personal Travel Designer Marie Ferriday and will be planning our next trip with them as soon as we can.”

“We instructed Medlock Solicitors to when we received an offer on our city centre apartment and overall they were superb! I feel the price was very reasonable and we predominantly dealt with Jeanie who was responsive, professional, patient and was able to answer any queries promptly. Rachel came in to finalise our sale and was very communicative and was able to efficiently get everything over the line, would highly recommend Medlock Solicitors!”

“I would like to share my experience of tourist trips with the tour company "Smile Adventures". I went on excursions twice with this company and two guides from this company. I am happy that I visited new places with Smile Adventures travel company, because it was interesting, exciting, instructive, informative and a lot of fun! I recommend everyone to take the opportunity to travel with a guide Lee. You will definitely not be bored, but you will get an excellent portion of informative information about the new place where you are going, take part in an entertaining quiz about a new place, hear a huge number of jokes, take a lot of beautiful photos with excellent Instagram views and return with unforgettable memories about your trip. I went to North Wales and Chester. Satisfied with trips. I would like to visit all new places with this company, as this is a great opportunity to explore new places for the benefit of yourself and the opportunity to get a lot of positive impressions from the tour and the trip itself. I recommend to everyone - choose the tour company “Smile”. Very positive guys. Energy boost guaranteed!”

“I enjoyed an excellent customer experience when booking my holiday through Park Lane Travel. Amanda and Jo go beyond to ensure your needs and requirements are met. I told them where I wanted to go and what I needed, and they took care of everything, making the booking easy and trouble-free. Without hesitation, I would recommend Park Lane Travel –they are lovely people to deal with, too!”

“Absolutely brilliant!Collection, drop off and service all in 24hrs. Very reasonable prices. Despite being a 10 year old vacuum cleaner that’s been battered a bit ,works like new. Thanks Spud”
