Very informative information

I am interested in taking a trip to Asia with two family members so I contacted Holiday Bay. I was helped by Bob who suggested several trips. Passing on my requirements he finally sent me the full details of two holidays which might suit the three of us. We are leaning towards 8 days in Korea. He was most helpful and now its up to us to make the decision. If the booking process is as informative and helpful as finding a trip, i will be very satisfied

A faultless service, I worked with Bob to book through Holiday Bay and he couldnt have helped any more or been more efficient than he was. Explained what it was I was looking for and a short time later Bob came back to me with an 8 day trip, hotels, flights, connections and all other boxes ticked for activities I have planned, a pleasure to deal with, thank you 😊

Thailand experience

We recently returned from our Thailand trip, and I can’t thank Arya enough for making the entire experience so smooth and memorable.

From the very beginning, Arya was professional, patient, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Planning a multi-city international trip can be overwhelming, but she handled every detail with care, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience.

Like any trip, we encountered a couple of minor hiccups, particularly with luggage allowances on the domestic flights and the airport transfer vehicle size. What stood out was how quickly Arya responded and worked to resolve the issues. Knowing we had someone we could rely on throughout the trip gave us real peace of mind.

The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and each destination offered something unique. Our hotels improved with every stop, with the Phuket hotel being the standout—it was perfectly located, beautifully presented, and the ideal place to end our holiday. Overall, the trip exceeded our expectations, and we created memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your travel experience, pays attention to the details, and continues to support you even after you’ve left home, I wholeheartedly recommend Arya. Her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to making sure her clients have an incredible experience truly set her apart.

Thank you again, Arya, for all your hard work and support. We genuinely appreciate everything you did for us, and we’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure—South Korea (and possibly Japan)—with you!

I had a wonderful experience working with Ava Grace. She was incredibly professional, patient, kind, and always quick to respond to my questions. Her communication was excellent, and she made the whole booking process easy and stress-free.
Thank you, Ava, for all your help, support, and genuine care. It's rare to meet someone so friendly, understanding, and dedicated to their clients. I truly appreciate everything you did for me and would highly recommend Ava to anyone planning their next trip!о

Avoid this company

I booked krakow with these people and it was the worst holiday iv been on, when I arrived and opened the door to what I thought was a hotel was dark flights of old broken wooden flights of winding stairs i was on top floor , no lift and I have arthritis in every joint, it was unbearable , I had to change apartments. It was like something out of hostel horror films. The breakfasts were a short walk to another place , and when it came to my paid for transfer to the airport I was told they didn't have a driver this was the night before baring in mind we had to leave at 4am, i had to find a taxi , but they did eventually refund the taxi fair, after days of asking, i will not be using this company again, as their lack of communication and explanations were disappointing and unfairly administrated this company needs to up their game a lot as it ruined what could have been a lovley holiday 😡😡

Reply from Holiday Bay

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience in Krakow did not meet your expectations and that it affected what should have been an enjoyable holiday.

We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you experienced with the accommodation. At the time of booking, we provided the hotel details, including the property information, and the reservation was made in accordance with the booking confirmation. However, we completely understand that the lack of a lift and the stairs made your stay extremely challenging, particularly given your arthritis.

We are very sorry for the distress and inconvenience this caused.
We also apologize for the issues with your airport transfer. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen operational issue, we were unable to provide the scheduled transfer, and we understand how stressful this must have been, especially with such an early departure.

We sincerely regret this failure on our part. As soon as we were able to process the claim, we arranged a full refund of your taxi fare, although we appreciate this did not make up for the inconvenience you experienced.

We are disappointed that our communication did not meet the standard you expected, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable and will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve both our service and communication.

Please accept our sincere apologies once again. We regret that your holiday was overshadowed by these issues, and we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Booking process with Shane was easy and smooth. Booked to Korea and Japan in 2028. Shane changed a few of the details I required, I was also booking while at work so was a bit late replying to messages, but still got a response even after normal business hours.
