Family trip booked with Emma O’Reillu

We booked our holiday through Emma O’Reilly at Destinology. Our original holiday to Mauritius had to be cancelled due to issues in UAE. When we were ready to rebook Emma was brilliant. I am very picky and have a lot of questions. Nothing was ever too much for Emma. She was patient and gave excellent advice. She’s also great at understanding your needs. We are travelling with 3 kids and her proposals always include consideration of flights times and hotel locations. We have booked all our family holidays with destinology and have no complaints.

Fantastic service and follow up support....

I have previously booked a cruise with Destinology and had a great experience through the whole process. I was looking at cruises for July 26 and came across a really good deal on Seven Seas Splendour. I contacted Destinology and spoke to the TA Maura, she was extremely knowledgeable about the product and listened to my requirements. Within a couple of hours we were booked on the cruise with transfers, pre and post cruise hotels and flights arranged. Maura made the booking experience effortless and filled me with the confidence that should I have any further queries she was only a phone call away to support my requirements. 5 star service!!

Great bespoke service all around

We have just returned from our Easter trip to Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Sri Lanka was a new destination for us and Juliet at Destinology couldn't have been more helpful to take her time to explain the various options to us. She made some great suggestions that were tailored to our family that made the whole trip so memorable. The itinerary she composed for us struck the perfect balance in terms of culture, breaks and sporting activities to keep the teenager entertained.
Once on the trip we were incredibly well looked after on the ground throughout the entire journey. An absolutely seamless experience and we will definitely use Destinology again to book our next trip!

Exceptional service

Exceptional service - Jo Robinson was fantastic - she went the extra mile to secure our preferred room type at the hotel, and was so patient when I was deciding between various options. I can't recommend her or Destinology enough!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused.

As advised by our team last week, your refund is being processed directly by the airline, Qatar Airways, and unfortunately timelines can be up to 16 weeks.

We can see that our Customer Experience team remained in contact with you while you were in resort following the disruption caused by the Middle East airspace closures. During this time, they worked to support you with additional accommodation and provided a range of alternative flight options to help ensure your safe return to the UK as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and our team will contact you as soon as your refund is in from the airline.

Repeat customer for many years

Have used destinology many times over nearly 20 years. Very friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgeable and obviously very well trained staff. Quick response time. A basic but somewhat complicated brief turned into a very well tailored holiday that ticked all the boxes despite short notice. My only complaint is that they don't accept AMEX (somewhat understandable but still inconvenient).

Excellent experience

Excellent experience. Had been looking for many days for a holiday in the sun with 2 long term lady friends and my husband. (not that friendly) It was taking me ages and I was exhausted and frustrated. Found Destinology by mistake and all was sorted within half an hour. Thank you so much for such quick and efficient service. Barbara (Newmarket)
