The staff were very customer focused and were very helpful from walking in the door. When we enquired about a specific holiday, Stacey compiled a great itinerary and when we had a concern about arriving at a hotel when there was no reception, she took it on board to find an alternative. The attention to detail was fantastic. Everything was sorted for us and we weren’t rushed. Service was excellent and we will be using Hays Travel again.

I wouldn’t book with any other company - Hays Travel
I would recommend Hays travel, and do! To all family and friends. We have booked via Julia at Hays, the Galleries, Washington for many years now, be it a cheap and cheerful week away, to our special occasions such as our recent Caribbean cruise in February with Ambassador- Renaissance. Julia always makes us feel welcome, she is patient, good listener and trustworthy with the deals, choices and travel advice he offers.
As a result we have booked another cruise with Julia for August this year and another for May 2027, it took some time as we weren’t sure what we wanted, after a couple of weeks looking, yes that’s how good she is, we booked it. Julia and staff at Hays, The Galleries, Washington are a credit to the company. Well done.
