Testimonials

I have just returned from Mauritius which was the first holiday I booked through Guru Travel. We had the most amazing time and I can honestly say it was by far the best customer service I have ever received from a travel agent, and I go away a lot!! Nothing is ever too much trouble for Paul and he is always happy to help, even when I ask him to do many variations of the same holiday. I have today received tickets for our next trip for which again I received A+++ service whilst booking! Huge thanks to Paul. Will 100% be booking again soon!

We booked our trip to Sandals Negril back in October. The service we received from Guru Travel was fantastic from start to finish, with prompt replies to any of our queries. We returned back from our holiday on Monday and had the most AMAZING time. I would not hesitate in using Guru Travel and will be using them again.

Booked through Guru Travel, one week all inclusive to Sandals resort Jamaica. Emily provided amazing customer service from providing a quote and finding us the holiday we dreamt of, right down to ensuring we were home safe following the flight back. Even received a welcome home card, which was a lovely touch. The holiday was out of this world and we are so gutted to be home. We will definitely be booking with you in the near future. Wishing you and the team all the best thank you xx

– Anne Marie Cook

Not long back home from a fantastic week in Cuba. Thank you so much to Emily for finding the perfect holiday for us to celebrate our birthdays and within our budget too. I have to say that the customer service provided by Guru Travel is truly exceptional. We will definitely be back in touch when we are wanting to plan our next holiday. Thank you again to Emily and Guru Travel! x

I don’t leave reviews! On this occasion it’s a must, never have I had such great old school customer service, wow this girl Emily is extremely efficient and amazing at her job. Guru travel now deals with all my holiday needs. Really can’t thank you enough.

– Russell Nugent

Guru travel went the extra mile compared to any other travel agent I’ve ever dealt with. A real personal touch, checking before and after my holiday that everything was going well. It was our anniversary while we were away and they organise for the hotel to host a special dinner. Stayed at the atlantis the palm in Dubai and cocoon Maldives ( both fabulous hotels). Will definitely book through them for future holidays. Thank you

– Helen Pike

I don’t even know where to start… just back from a fantastic holiday in Dubai & Maldives, everything from start to finish was amazing! Flights, transfers, Hotels and staff all 5* Emily and Paul arranged everything perfectly even a few upgrades on our flights and accommodation which was such a lovely touch and one I will always remember. I would highly recommend Guru Travel and will definitely use them again.

Emily from Guru travel was a godsend when organising our honeymoon! Nothing was too much trouble, and we received a lovely thank you card in the post yesterday! Can’t wait for our honeymoon next year now! Fantastic service!

– Becky Cox

Paul and Emily are absolutely amazing!! they organised our honeymoon for us and it was perfect! Contacted the hotel for us prior to our arrival, had the BEST room with views and definitely felt like a VIP! Already booked up with them again for Mexico next year. The thank you card after booking and welcome home card are also lovely and such a personal touch! Feel very valued customers and we will be booking with them every year now! thanks again

– Jen Reid

I really don’t know where to start and how to say thank you enough. Emily and Paul, from word go, have been nothing but helpful and supportive in assisting us with our booking. My husband and I have just returned from Mexico having been on the most memorable holiday of my life. We went to celebrate my 40th birthday and chose a holiday based on Emily’s recommendation. (TRS Yucutan, we cannot recommend this hotel enough) We have previously been to Mexico where we had a bad experience (not booked through Guru Travel) and were reluctant to return but following reassurances from Emily that this would be a different experience we decided to go ahead and book it.

I am so glad we did. Emily and Paul were so knowledgeable about the resort and clearly have a good relationship with the hotel as all the little extras that came with booking with Guru Travel were amazing. On arrival to the hotel our room was decorated with balloons, rose petals spelling ‘happy birthday’ on the bed and even a birthday cake along with a welcome letter from Emily and Paul. On my actual birthday all the staff seemed to know and I was presented with a special dessert in our restaurant with the waiting staff singing happy birthday to me, then on our final day we were found on the beach and asked to follow the ‘smile team’ for a surprise which was a beautiful 4 course dinner with cocktails and champagne and the most delicious meal whilst being serenaded by a gentleman with guitar whose voice could melt butter. All this took place on a boat which then took us round the water ways of the resort while we ate dinner. We honestly felt like royalty.

This was all arranged based on Emily and Paul’s request that our holiday be made special. I really don’t think you would get this kind of service with a High St travel company. The customer service from Guru Travel has been second to none and because of this we have now booked a family holiday though them to Cuba in June. We will also book all future holidays through Guru Travel as their knowledge of resorts and attention to detail is second to none!!!!! Thank you so much Emily and Paul. We will NEVER forget our unforgettable week in Mexico. x

A fantastic company Emily and Paul were amazing and found us the perfect holiday and resort, our experience with them felt very personal keeping us updated on everything down to hand written cards and personal messages. I can’t wait to book with them again

– Louise Leach Larkin

To stand out above your competitors you need to go above and beyond and Guru Travel do just that. Their customer service is second to none. Very informative about destinations and hotels and any queries I had were answered quickly. However it’s the little touches that make them stand out. I won’t go into detail as it will spoil the surprise! I would thoroughly recommend this travel company and I certainly look forward to booking my next trip with them.

Cannot recommend Guru travel highly enough, we’ve been booking our holidays with them for the last 3 years and each and every trip (& there have been many!) has been arranged with the most attention to detail I’ve ever experienced. This year Paul worked with my wife to arrange a surprise trip to Australia and Fiji and I was blown away by the whole experience.  Guru keep you up to date on what’s happening with travel arrangements and were brilliant a couple of years ago when sandals closed a resort at short notice and we had to move islands. Without Paul’s help during this time it would have been an awful process but he made it smooth for us. Thanks for all you help Paul and Emily, looking forward to booking more holidays with you. Bob and Lucy

– Bob Pinkstone

Guru Travel genuinely want nothing but the best for their customers. They go above and beyond to make everything as simple as possible including organising last minute additions such as flight upgrades. Thank you Emily and Paul for helping us to have the most perfect wedding & honeymoon at Sandals Royal Barbados, it was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Thank you also for our congratulations message in our room on arrival and “welcome home” card when we sadly arrived back in the UK… such a lovely personal touch.

– Sue Sayer

Guru Travel have been amazing from start to finish! I was a bit nervous about booking an expensive holiday through a Facebook based travel agent, as I’d always gone with high street travel agents previously, but it was when Emily took the time to call me at gone 9pm on a Sunday evening to talk me through the resort (in amazing detail, from personal experience) – I knew I had to book with Guru Travel. Emily even went as far as to send us her personal photos from the resort from when she’d been. They knew so much about Sandals (as we didn’t know why it was so much more money than other all inclusive holidays) and knew the answers to all my questions. Their price was also SUCH a great deal, better than we’d found anywhere else. The whole experience has been amazing and I can’t recommend them enough. Little thoughtful touches from beginning to end made our holiday feel like it mattered to them, and they were available on Facebook chat throughout my holiday to answer any queries I had. I can’t recommend them enough, and can’t wait to book our next holiday with them

– Holly Knight

We recently came back from our honeymoon which we booked through Guru Travel. From booking to coming home the service was first class and I can’t speak highly enough about them. The resort we went to Royal Plantation Jamaica we would never of considered but it turned out to be the most perfect destination for exactly what we wanted. Thanks so much again. We will be returning customers.

– Richard Leaning

From start to finish this company have been fantastic. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the deal they had for Kuramathi in the Maldives so booked straight up. Having now returned from such an amazing place I feel as if the deal we got is even more to good to be true. Paul dealt with our booking from start to finish and was so pleasant and helpful through out. I had the holiday blues today but when I opened my post I found I had a welcome home card from Paul & Emily which was a lovely and unexpected surprise. We have never had customer service like it. We will be using guru travel in the future without a doubt. Thank you to Paul and the whole team!

Guru travel saved the day when i had previously been driving myself crazy trawling through different travel agencies for a special holiday for my husbands 40th. They were very responsive to my messages and they provided tailored options for me to choose from at a competitive price. They really seemed to care that the holiday i booked met all my expectations and they stayed in touch prior, during and after our holiday. I would definitely recommend this company.

– Jennifer Scott

We have just got back from an amazing holiday in Barbados, which we booked with Guru. We have never booked a holiday with an independent travel agency previously but now I wouldn’t book with anyone else. Guru provide an excellent service from start to finish. They not only dealt with the booking (and got us a great deal) but were very helpful with providing info about the resort, the location generally, helped with questions even after booking, including giving special restaurant reservations. They also always respond really quickly. They really do provide a completely personal and professional service. I have no hesitation with recommending them ….We are already speaking with them about our next trips!

– Laura Elizabeth Spendiff

Just returned from 2 weeks celebrating our 20th anniversary to royal barbados sandals. Emily was very helpful at the start in helping me decide on our destination then continued all the way through and even sent little cards from booking, Christmas, while on resort and even when we returned, such a lovely touch. We had the pleasure of meeting Emily and Paul in Barbados who are both lovely I really cannot recommend them enough. Looking forward to booking my 2020 holiday with them as I can honestly say it was the best holiday we have ever had. Thank Guru Travel for making my anniversary amazing xxx from Nicole and Anthony

Great prices, excellent customer service from start to end, great communication, transfers all sorted, no issues at all. Organised a few little treats as well with it being our 10 year wedding anniversary & my wife’s birthday. Paul & Emily are at the top of the game for organising top end holidays, thank you very much

– Dan Parr

Came across Guru Travel on Facebook by very happy accident. Paul is now my go-to guy and I trust him implicitly, so much so I let him choose our accommodation! I’m fastidious about planning and checking and Paul is always there to reassure me that everything is under control and answer the many questions I always have lol! Las Vegas, Mexico, Canada done…currently planning next year and already thinking about 2021. Guru travel will definitely fan ths flames if you’re passionate about travel *****
