New York was amazing. Loved every minute of it. Managed to do everything we wanted to do. Weather was a little mixed which the locals said was weird for this time of year.
I could go back tomorrow and do a whole load of different things.
Thanks again for sorting for us.

We cannot thank you enough for organising the most amazing Honeymoon for us!
Hotel Jen was really modern & funky & in a great location with a fantastic view over the harbour.
Seasons Heritage was in a great location & 5 mins walk to the Melbourne Grandprix.
The Sofitel was amazing & we have never seen such an array of food for breakfast & this too was in a great location.
Princess D’annam was exquisite! The views, scenery, villas, pools, beach, food etc were absolutely breathtaking. It is a lovely resort to relax on. The manager spoke to us about having a BBQ on the beach one evening which we did & wow what an experience! You get a personal chef & waitress, tea lights, right on the beach & it was about 10 courses of seafood & meat.
Cathay’s business class seating layout was really nice & is the best we have been on & thank you for organising great seats.
We will have wonderful memories to treasure of our Honeymoon.

Very helpful and personalized approach
This is the second time we have booked via this company and whilst we have yet to take the second holiday, we found our advisor to be knowledgeable and responsive in terms of our needs. If this holiday matches our previous experience it will be fabulous and we have found prices to be very competitive.

I’ve booked 3 holidays with Sean McHale over the last couple of years after being recommended by a friend. His service, patience and knowledge have been faultless every time I have dealt with him. And most importantly we have enjoyed 3 amazing holidays as a result of his great work! Would definitely recommend using this company to book your holiday.

Excellent Service
Shaun bent over backwards to help us get the best possible flights for our holiday. It was not easy for him as we kept changing the dates! In the end he got us flights at a price better than we could find anywhere.
Next time we will use Holiday Please to book all the holiday and not just flights.

Hi Sean,
..been meaning to thank you for organizing the holiday, it went really well.
Most impressed with the hotel on Marano, really good rooms, very modern and boutique like. It even had free shuttle service to Venice and back which great. Venice itself was good, but enjoyed Marano island far more, much more open and airy. So top job

Excellent service
Just arrived back from two weeks holiday in Zante, we only booked two weeks before we went. The holiday please travel agent Sean who we dealt with was excellent, he sent us various e mails with websites of different accommodation, once we had decided where to go he then booked it all for us. Our itinerary arrived in a few days in a wallet that I was able to place all our travel documents inside. There were a few things that needed changing and Sandra at holiday please did this within an hour of us contacting her. We would definitely book with them again

I came across this company when doing a lot of google searches trying to find a UK company that could organise a wedding in Italy. So yes, I’m a Bridezilla and I would recommend Holidays Please and Sean McHale to everyone. Sean listened to our wedding requirements and Sean and I spoke by phone & email for a number of weeks which meant he understood what I wanted and was able to offer us a great wedding and holiday package. Sounds simple but this included an Italian wedding with not only all of its paperwork, but the small things a bride wants to know what equates to 101 more questions than a normal holiday booking. The boy did well !

Hi Sean,
The holiday was great, we both had an amazing trip and I could not fault the island in any way. The island is paradise.
We got engaged whilst we were away and I could not have picked a more beautiful location for the occasion.
Thanks once again for all your help & knowledge planning and booking a wonderful holiday.

Its going to be a fantastic holiday, thanks to Sean’s hard work.
I went on line to get information on a holiday of a life time, and clicked on to your website and got in touch with Sean, he was ever so polite and nothing was to much for him.
I explained that I wanted to go to New Zealand and Hawaii I told him how long I wanted to stop over for. He came back to me the same day with a package with flights and stopovers and a price.
We tweaked it a bit more then he left it with me for a few days to look over it, he was never pushy, he was such a gent and a pleasure to work with. 5 star service.
Kind regards, Mark Graham, Doncaster.
PS I will be booking a cruise with him next year.

Sean,
I just wanted to say thank you for everything.
For initially offering to plan our wedding, suggesting Volterra as a location, making all the travel arrangements, introducing us to the local planners, phone calls, emails, booking the guest accommodation and everything else you done.
You saved us a lot of stress and I am pleased to say the wedding was perfect. We had a wonderful day, the setting was beautiful and different giving us the intimate wedding we wanted.
We arrived home yesterday evening with some wonderful memories and messages from family and friends saying how much they enjoyed it.
The travel arrangements worked well and the hotel was lovely. The staff were so friendly and helpful and made a real effort to make our special day go well.

We all had an amazing time in Florida. Thanks for sorting everything out for us . Everything ran really smoothly for us.
Thanks again
Christine & Tony – Orlando
22/04/2015
Every single part of the 3 weeks you organised was utterly fantastic. The hotels and where they were situated for restaurants and tourist places was really well thought out, and ideal for us…The travel was exactly what we wanted. The mix of train and flights was just right and the fact that they were all at reasonable times made it so easy…
The holiday was totally fantastic and one of the reasons for that was the pulling together of all the hotels, travel and places to visit and we have you to thank for that. This must have been quite time consuming to put this together…we can only thank you for doing this, it would have taken us many months to do this, if in fact we could. We were both incredibly impressed throughout the holiday that everything flowed smoothly and there were no hitches…
Thank you for all your hard work in putting this together, your patience in dealing with changes as we went along and your expertise in getting the right hotels at the right places for a memorable and relaxing holiday.

Hi Sean
What a fantastic holiday. Everything was perfect.
The guest house in Franschhoek was lovely as were our hosts.
The apartment in Cape Town stunning (the first one, the second not as beautiful as the first) a great location.
The Rovos Rail quite an experience…..Zambia beyond all expectations. We were the only guests on Sindabezi Island (The Tongabezi) so had five staff to ourselves, felt like royalty. So well done Sean, and yes we will definitely recommend you to friends and will of course use you again.

My wife and I repeatedly go back to Holidaysplease and specifically Sean McHale as each time he provides fantastic recommendations at excellent prices. We first used Holidaysplease for our Honeymoon and I see no reason why we would stop using them as each trip has been better than we could have expected.

Hope your well.
Well we had the most amazing trip & all the accommodation was fantastic & such great locations to everything. We were 5 mins walk to Historic Philadelphia at the Hyatt & 10 mins walk to Epcot & 15 mins walk to Hollywood Studios at the Swan. South Seas was out of this world (we got to watch dolphins playing which was magical) & a place we would like to go back to. We can’t believe it’s all over!

Just returned from a fantastic holiday in the Italian Lakes all arranged by Sean McHale, Bespoke Travel. Perfect in every way! Stayed at the amazing family run Hotel Rigoli, where staff did everything to ensure guests’ comfort and enjoyment. Outstanding location on the banks of Lake Maggiore, pretty terrace to enjoy breakfasts, snacks and drinks, spotlessly clean rooms and facilities and conveniently placed for visits to local places of interest either by boat, (highly recommended) bus, or train. Our room had a truly beautiful view over the lake. What could be more special? This hotel definitely deserves a return visit.

The holiday was fantastic, we couldn’t of asked for anything more.
Every hotel/lodge was to our taste and liking, although I have to say, everything was a bit of a comedown after Pumba which was out of this world!
We had a bit of luck with the hire car and got upgraded to a People carrier/4×4 which was great, especially on the dirt track going to Kuzuko lodge.
All-in-all everything was perfect and we will without doubt be using you for next holiday!
Dave & Sharon – South Africa, Safari, Garden Route & Cape Town

Sean was very attentive to what we wanted out of our holiday.
After contacting the company and passing on details of what we wanted they came back with different options and prices. There was no pressure to buy the holiday and we were able to come away from the phone, discuss the options,check out the hotels on Trip Advisor before going back to speak about other options until we finally got exactly what we wanted. The holiday advisor Sean was very helpful and willing to make suggestions to us without trying to force the sale on us.

We had an absolutely amazing time! The hotels were all fab - The staff were lovely, very helpful. Our candlelit dinner was gorgeous. Nice that the Hotel was within walking distance of other restaurants (Jetwing Sea). The (other) Hotels were absolutely lovely (Chaaya Village Habarana,Cinnamon Citadel Kandy & Tea Factory Nuwara Eliya), they gave us an upgrade and we had a beautiful room with a view of the lake and the monkeys!! Our room was turned down every night and we got left a lovely ‘good luck’ message on our last night there. Our guide was amazing, got us good deals on our tours and recommended some excellent days out, was v. knowledgeable. We’re very sad to be home!
So thank you very much for advising us on Sri Lanka and Kuoni and finding us such a good deal!!

Holiday was brilliant and Dubai and Maldives were both equally amazing places.
The hotel in Dubai was lovely a nice hotel in Downtown Dubai (Towers Rotana), very close to metro links and everything you need from a hotel. Happy hour prices in hotel bar were very good 6-10 pm. The water villa in Maldives was like Paradise, a beautiful water villa with Jacuzzi, a perfect honeymoon. The Select All Inclusive package (Kuramathi Island) was ideal and definitely needed for Maldives.

Hi Sean,
Just to let you know that we are having an amazing time at ‘The Body Holiday’ in St Lucia. The hotel, activities and service are the best we’ve ever received anywhere and we’d like to return as soon as possible. Could you please keep us updated on any flight and hotel offers during school holidays as we are both teachers? Please recommend the resort to your clients as it really is outstanding.
We received an upgrade on our flight out to business class and it was amazing, I’m not sure if you had anything to do with that but thanks if you did!!
Thanks again Sean, you’ve been a hero!
Mike and Saara – St Lucia

Regarding the holiday, we had an amazing time. It was too good to even want to come back. We stayed 12 days with family in the US and 5 days in Mexico.
Mexico resort was really good. It’s one to add on your list (Grand Park Royal Cancun Caribe). The room was clean, the hotel was in a nice location, the food was delicious with variety of options, the staff were friendly and had loads of activities. I would recommend it to others.
We also did some tours in Mexico with the local tour agents. We did the Chitiniza tour and an activity tour inside caves called Xplorer. We did it with a company called xperience xcaret. The tour agents were good, the service was good.
Our flights were good and I was impressed with United’s service as it was the first time I flew with them.
Thank you for your help with the booking.
I will be in touch as I will be looking to travel in the near future.
Also watch out for my recommendations to bring you business as have loads of friends waiting to get married.

When we booked our holiday through holidaysplease we had specific needs to what we wanted. We wanted to stay at The Quality Inn on International drive Florida. We also needed to go on to Chicago on a flight which our family were already booked on.We spoke to Sean McHale who understood exactly what we wanted and then booked everything for us. Sean mentioned the Virgin upgrades and also the V lounge which ran along side of it. We are so pleased we took his advice, the flight was perfect, lovely seats, champagne on take off and good service throughout the long flight.Also we had concerns on staying in the Quality Inn on International Drive but wanted to be with the family. The hotel was excellent, prime position for walking the International drive with plenty of places to eat and drink. Every day the sheets/towels were changed. There was a safe free of charge in the room and plenty of coffee for the machine. The staff were very helpful. The swimming pool and gardens were greatWe will be booking next years holidays shortly and will be doing them through holidaysplease and can only commend them on the excellent service we received.

Just wanted to say thank you for organising our fantastic holiday and to give you some feed back.
The Trident Hotel (Hanoi) was good. Perfect location and staff were wonderful so helpful and welcoming, I would certainly recommend this hotel. Pool on the roof top was very small and uninviting but not a problem we used the roof top bar most nights. The best hotel was the Sunrise (Hoi An), absolutely fabulous. Perfect location on the beach. 2 pools fantastic. Food good. Mini bus into town worked really well. Would definitely recommend these 2 hotels and go back if we had the chance. Halong Bay trip brilliant and Chi Chi Tunnels trip very good too.
Hope this feedback is helpful to you.
We had the most fantastic time and thanks again for organising everything. Not sure how we will find anything as good for next year!

Thanks again Sean, you’re the best – Brilliant, swift and reliable as usual
Just wanted to thank you for arranging my trip for me at such short notice (again)–I returned today and everything went smoothly from start to finish! Iceland is a unique country–the raw and untouched natural phenomena are truly amazing! My highlight was definitely Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon!!! And yes, I saw the northern lights too!
The service I get is brilliant every single time. It’s reliable, informative, friendly and never lets me down. I have complete confidence that every part of my trip will be taken care of comprehensively. The service is flexible around my odd working hours and I can just count on getting a trip that is tailored to exactly what I want with a few extras thrown in! I am always interested to hear Sean’s ideas for enriching my holidays and appreciate that he has my best interests at heart. I used to book all of my holidays myself so am just so grateful to have found HolidaysPlease to take all of the work out of it for me–I have been using them for the last couple of years for 4 significant trips (including combination trips tailored totally to what I wanted, which required substantial planning) and have been extremely pleased every time. I would highly recommend the service to anyone who likes the sound of what I’ve written (and have done so already), especially if you are short on time, want some ideas and expert advice, and a fast and free service which is friendly and completely tailored to your needs.

It was the best service I have received from a holiday company.
I sent an email regarding a holiday to Thailand for Christmas and New Year. I got a quick response from Sean. Sean was very very helpful and offered a fantastic service because of his knowledge of Thailand. We ended up booking to go to Phuket for Christmas and New Year and we are all so excited. I have told all my friends about the outstanding service I received and what a great pleasure it was dealing with a true gentleman – SEAN. Thank you very much. Shuk.

Felt that Sean did everything he possibly could to find me a holiday within my price range.
If you are looking for a holiday then I would advise you to go through Holidays please as the service you get is very personal. Sean made sure that he had a note of all my requirements and kept me informed of all his progress.

Outstanding!
Sean McHale is our dedicated holiday adviser, who is always at the other end of the phone. He spent many hours finding the best holiday for my husband and I. We booked our holiday last year with Holidays Please and again this year, if we continue to receive the excellent service we are now accustomed to we will certainly book again next year. Well done Holidays please for finding us our perfect and very reasonably priced holiday.

Excellent service in planning honeymoon!
We have had a wonderful experience in booking with Holidays Please. We didn’t know where we wanted to go for our honeymoon but the care and time put into several holiday options for us was second to none. Very competitive price too. Really looking forward to our special day and time away in Saint Lucia, many thanks to Sean McHale for all your patience and help.

I dealt with Sean McHale to book my latest holiday and as usual Sean was incredibly helpful, knowledgable and pro-active in organising our trip. Sean managed to put together our package very quickly and got us exactly what we wanted so as usual I was very pleased.
I have used Sean previously and will continue to do so in future and would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and family alike.

Just to let you know we are now back from our holiday.
We had an absolutely fantastic time – it was brilliant. All the pick-up and transfers were in order and on time.

‘Just a courtesy email to say how pleased we have been with Sean McHale and the service he has given us regarding the booking of our holiday to Dubai. Sean has been absolutely fantastic in giving his advice and has gone the extra mile on all accounts with us. He has only just completed our holiday booking at 10.20pm tonight even though I am sure he should have finished a lot earlier. What an absolute asset he must be to have in your company’
