Vietnam Tour - Pershore

Just got back from our Vietnam tour (16 Feb to 5 March) and wanted to thank you all for a brilliant holiday. Particularly wanted Buffalo to know how much we appreciated the efforts of our 3 guides (and their drivers - not least for keeping us alive!). Nhut (in the south), Phong (in the middle) and especially Tanh (in the north) were so helpful, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable about their country - we learnt so much. They were like walking encyclopaedias! Please let them know how much their input added to our enjoyment of the trip.




As for Buffalo's overall planning of our trip - it was all quite matchless. Great hotels, wonderful lunches, fascinating visits and brilliant destinations all conspired to make it probably our best ever holiday.



Many thanks again

Dear Julie


You may recall that you helped Maureen and I over our wonderful trip to the States and Canada last month. I'd like to thank you and your colleagues for all you did to make the trip flow seamlessly from one destination to another, just what one wants from a travel agent.

Keflada – Akrogiali Villa – Ionian & Aegean Holidays. October 7th -13th


We arranged our holiday through your office and I just wanted to say thanks as we had the perfect time. All the travel arrangements were efficient and on time and the villa was clean and exactly as described in the brochure.

Your agent promised us that our villa would not be overlooked, which was important to us, and it turned out to be the case. The other 3 villas in the group were overlooked.

Once again, thanks. We are already thinking about next year.

Attention of Paul Carter - thank you for your letter enquiring about my Mexico trip.  I was extremely pleased and impressed with all the arrangements you made on my behalf.  Everything worked well and I had a superb room at El Dorado.  I was especially impressed by the H & K representative who met me at the airport on arrival - Katja - who managed to find me in the crowd and escort me to my car.  She gave me details of my pick up for the return to Cancun from my hotel and then also left a note in my room 2 days before to remind me of this.  All in all it was a very enjoyable week with no worries on my part.

Sincere thanks for all your hard work to ensure it all went smoothly.

Travel Tips

List of Travel tips

Don’t forget to check the travel adaptor you need for the country you are travelling to!

Book your excursions before you travel to ensure you get the excursion you want on the day you want

Book a lounge pass its a great start to the holiday

Use meet and greet parking take the stress out of the start of your holiday

Always take a couple of copies of your passport – leave one at home with family and friends and take one with you.

Put a coloured ribbon round your luggage as it helps when trying to find your case at the airport.

Put spare underwear/clothes/toothbrush in your hand luggage.

Leave a copy of your travel plans at home.

Carry a coin for the airport trolleys.

If you are lost always ask 2 people the way and if they both give the same directions there is a good chance they are correct.

If you have an early flight consider an airport hotel and parking that way you can relax the night before.

But a local sim card for your phone – its much cheaper to text and phone. If you have smart phones remember to switch off your ‘data roaming’ to avoid running up large bills.

If travelling to tropical climates wear natural fibres like cotton never polyester

Mix your packing up so if a case goes missing every member of the party still has clothes to wear.

Always carry a good book

When flying long haul buy water airside the cabin crew never give you enough water and it helps avoid dehydration.

When car hire is completed always make sure your car is seen and checked by the car hire company before handing over the keys

I just thought I would drop you a line to let you know that Anne & I had a terrific trip.  The arrangements were impeccable and we were able to pack as much as possible into the time we were there. This was due in no small measure to the Travelsphere Rep., Steve Rodaway who was the consummate professional and nothing was too much trouble , he really did go the extra mile to make sure everyone got all they wanted from the trip.  I would be grateful if you would pass these comments to Travelsphere.

My thanks also to you for making the arrangements for what has been a memorable trip.     

Kind regards
