Travel Agency Recommendation

Hey,

Not sure if this is in the right area so if it's not please move it. I don't know what the story with travel agents are these days. I have been in touch with 3-4 different ones about booking a weeks Sun holiday for about 15-17 people, mixture of couples and singles. We are all in our late 20's. I thought agents were having a tough time these days to get business? Everyone I have contacted has said give them a few days to get some prices and then nothing, this has been 2 weeks now. I left follow up messages and still nothing. I really thought they were crying out for business but I must be wrong.

So can anyone recommend any good agents?

Cheers,

I used http://www.slatterytravel.ie/ 02531811 in fermoy, for a few bookings. good to deal with and helpful. They are my local agent but I wouldn't see what difference it would make where you are booking from.

I book a fair few group trips and getting everyone onto the same flight and into the same hotel/apartments can be a bit of a hassle. If an agent is asking for a few days to put something together, they're not fobbing you off, they do actually need to do a bit of work. If they're not following up with you then THAT is bad form.

Have you considered doing something yourself? The first time I booked a group trip it was a total nightmare, between organising as many as possible on the same flight and then finding a hotel to take the group I would have torn my hair out if I had any. After that, usually the only pain is trying to get the money out of everyone on time, but even then that's a minor one!

If you want help or more advice, let me know what you're looking for (via PM) and IF I get a bit of spare time, I'll see what I can come up with for you.
