From our Olivia guests
Thank you The Travel Brand
In January we booked a special break with The Travel Brand for 8 nights in the Maldives and 5 nights in Abu Dhabi, unfortunately because of the Iran situation we had a problem with the second part of the holiday to Abu Dhabi.
Faisal was absolutely amazing in communicating with us to let us know what he was trying to do with BA and Etihad and the Maldives and Abu Dhabi Hotels.
Over the course of 7 days he managed to get all our money back from the hotels and both airlines.
We were so impressed with how he handled the situation that we have booked the Maldives part of our holiday for November this year and he has also booked another holiday for us to Ikos Olivia in Greece at the best rate.
The Travel Brand is now our first choice for all holidays our family will be looking book.
Excellent customer service.
We booked an Ikos holiday through The Travel Brand and can't fault the service we received. My husband unexpectedly needed surgery meaning we couldn't travel on the date originally booked, but the team took care of everything and rearranged everything. Would definitely recommend.
Travel Brand are excellent
I have been dealing with the Travel Brand for about 6/7 years and found their service (and prices) to be excellent
Their team are charming (well done Raj and Faisal) and they always find competitive prices (which with my reasearch is always tough!)
Nothing is ever an issue and they seem to be available almost 24/7! We would highly recommend them!
