Unfortunately we had to cancel our holiday because of illness. Mtee at Newmarket Holidays handled the matter quickly and efficiently, processing our refund and emailing our documents. We have travelled with Newmarket Holidays before and highly recommend the company.

Poor customer service

Booked to go to see Andre Rieu in maastricht, unfortunately my wife broke her femur and Newmarket holidays showed zero compassion. I understand they are a business, but they were not help and even though the consultant wrote to the Company they were just concerned with keeping our money and wanting to charge admin fees on top. I would not recommend anyone books with this company. As soon as my wife broke her femur we contacted Newmarket holidays we were told over the phone we would have to cancel, it was like talking to a robot with a thick accent. We asked about changing to Christmas (which was cheaper) onltbto be told we would have to pay an admin charge of £25 per person and any other costs that this change would incur as well as the cancellation fee of 75% of the holiday. I would rather walk to Maastricht than use this company.

Hello. We are sorry to read your review. Without your booking details it's difficult to comment on the specifics of the case. That being said, if cancellations occur close to departure, we would refer our customers to their travel insurance. This sounds like something which would have been able to have been claimable. At late stages, all of our costs are committed and as such, travel insurance is the right route to persue.

We do hope we may be of service to you in the future.

Many thanks

MTee was absolutely brilliant in sorting out a problem we had with a holiday booking which clashed with our daughters relocation abroad. As we wanted to see the Japanese cherry blossoms, it meant moving the holiday from April 27 to April 28 and sorting out trips we had booked in addition to flights etc.
Great customer service.

Lake Como, St Moritz & the Bernina Express

Recently returned from the Lake Como, St Moritz & the Bernina Express escorted tour staying at the hotel Bazzoni in Tremezzo. Nicely situated hotel right on the lake with a ferry boat stop two minutes from the hotel.
Booked a room with a terrace which had a lovely view of the lake. Very friendly and helpful staff at the hotel.
Breakfast and dinner included however the food quality at dinner was a little basic.
Our tour manager Ellie was very enthusiastic and helpful and went out of her way to give us as much information as possible on the organised trips. Ellie really seemed to enjoy her job and making sure everyone got as much fun out of the holiday as possible, even including a little quiz(with prizes!) on the coach back from one of the trips.
We were rather disappointed however that the optional trip to Milan which we had pre-booked in the UK was cancelled due to lack of numbers - (it also appeared that it had been cancelled the previous week). I feel that if an excursion has been pre-booked and paid for it should operate irrespective of numbers.
Overall a very enjoyable holiday although in my opinion slightly overpriced.

Golden Triangle India: Recently returned from a guided tour of…

Recently returned from a guided tour of the golden triangle in India. What an incredible experience and a fantastic way to visit India for the first time. The tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. We met some lovely
people including Kate who
works for New Market holidays but was not there in her working role but on
holiday like the rest us. There are only 2 things that could have improved the experience which were out of Newmarkets control. It was really hot 40 degrees + a little too hot for sight seeing so would advise going at a different time of year if possible. Although the food was lovely on the whole, if you don’t like curry then there was very little to have as an alternative. It would have been nice
to have had one alternative to curry. Still it was an amazing holiday and would definitely book with Newmarket Holidays again.
