Katie - visited Greece
Would definitely recommend using Ali to book holidays. She took the time to get to know us and what we wanted. Nothing was to much during the booking period. She is very attentive and would definitely book my holidays through Bags are Packed Travel again.
Jan - visited Amsterdam
I asked Ali to find me a fab Netherlands trip for my mums extra special 70th birthday holibobs - and she did exactly that! She researched a few options for me to choose from.
Ali found me a fantastic 5 day coach trip, 3 days of excursions, super modern, swanky hotel, b’fast & dinner included - couldn’t have asked for anything better...
...will definitely be using her services again. A 5* service from start to finish
Lizzy - visited London
Highly recommend. Took my granddaughter to London. Everything went smoothly thanks to Bags are Packed Travel. Tickets booked, bus tour and boat trip. Was given a mobile number to use if we needed any help , as everything was planned so well did not need to use.
