Stuart and I had the most wonderful 4 week trip over Christmas and New Year 2024/2025. From start to finish we had superb organisation by our travel agent, Cindy Palmer of Quay Travel. She listened to our interests, took into consideration our age, mobility and price range and organised for us the most outstanding trip we could have asked for. She gave advice, updated us regularly during the planning process and turned what could have been a really hit and miss home planned job into the most incredible journey. The Viking River Cruise on the Danube provided stop offs that we couldn't have sorted ourselves. Her choices in hotels were perfect and located at good distances from public transport. We covered a number of countries and locations at a pace that suited our style.
I would like to thank Quay Travel for their efforts in arranging and coordinating our recent European family holiday. Your attention to detail and oversight of our arrangements ensured that our holiday was totally trouble free and enjoyable and went according to our plan, it was seamless and well organized. A big thankyou to Quay Travel from us. You are the best!

Hello Cindy, It has taken us a while to "come back down to earth" & normal routine after our wonderful holiday in Italy. It was amazing to experience all the wonders Italy has to offer - the History, Art, Architecture, Landscape, Food & Wine etc. etc. Thanks to you our travel plans went without a hitch, and we were very happy with everything. All the hotels were extremely good & well located with friendly helpful staff - our best room was at Risorgimento Resort in Lecce.
THANKYOU for everything that you organised for us to make our holiday the "trip of a Lifetime"
