Marvellous Escapes Avis 540

Tailor made holiday incorporating all my wishes and more.

Marvellous Escapes planned our trip start to finish & all aspects were covered efficiently & with good communication. The Hotel In Vienna was spot on, great location & very friendly / attentive staff. All transfers were well organised & went smoothly. The Orient Express journey was a fantastic experience. Unfortunately, the company had to change our hotel in Paris at short notice & relocated us from the centre of Paris to one right next to the Eurostar train station. Which is handy for getting back to London, but we originally was planning to spend some time seeing a few sites in Paris which wasn’t possible. So, I would suggest that the overall package is considered when changes have to be made.

Hayley really listened to me about the type of holiday, my anxiety, and what we wanted and our budget
Then delivered a dream holiday.
The clear presentation with images and script was exactly what I needed rather than changing pages, to find out the information.
Everything matched just slightly shorter to hit the budget.
The individual care, kind consideration, Could not of been better thank you

Can not believe I made an enquiry 2 days ago and I’m now booked on a trip of a lifetime!! Thanks to Christians help.
He came back to me with exactly what I asked for very quickly and efficiently!
I highly recommend Marvellous Escapes!
Great service and cannot wait for our trip. Thank you Christian!!

Very impressed with first contact, Christian was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Extremely efficient booking process. Looking forward to travelling with them

Thanks again Laurie for brilliant planning. Can’t wait for our Italian experience.

Brilliant holiday that suited what I wanted! Had an issue on the trip (due to strike action where I was travelling) and they answered quickly to help and sorted the issue for me no stress. All the hotels were excellent and the trains and other transport worked together smoothly. As a solo traveller I felt safe and supported, couldnt have asked for better!

From planning, to booking, to receiving pre-departure information and documentation, through to our trip itself, the service was first class. Our advisor, Laurie, listened to what we wanted and put together a suitable itinerary for our approval. Once approved, the booking process was easy and hassle-free. Pre-departure support was excellent with someone always available to answer any questions. Detailed documents were received in a timely manner both electronically and in hard copy form. Our trip to Switzerland itself ran like clockwork. As promised, hotels were extremely clean and comfortable, easy to find, and staffed by helpful and friendly people. Public transport ran on time, was clean and really easy to use. Pre-booked excursions were well planned and organised, which coupled with enough free time to relax and enjoy Switzerlands' beautiful surroundings, food and wine during the trip made for an extremely enjoyable experience.

We have just returned from a wonderful 9 nights rail journey through Switzerland organised by Hayley through marvellous escapes. This trip was for our golden wedding Anniversary Hayley made sure she informed each hotel we stayed at we was upgraded on one of the hotels and we were given a few little gifts from the other hotels which we were very touched by. The trips we went on by rail to see the mountains was amazing the views we got to see were breath taking thank you marvellous escapes and Hayley for making our holiday very special.

The booking experience was great, personalised , calls were on time, information was helpful. Even including dress code ideas relieving stress. Quotations were beautifully written selling you the vision of your expected experience rather than just a holiday. Any queries or extras were quickly looked into and added, all while tailoring it to your suggested budget. So looking forward to going later in the year

We had a fantastic experience in Norway booking the Norway in a Nutshell route with Marvellous Escapes. Laurie was extremely informative on all three locations. Our hotels were centrally located within easy access of the stations for our connections, and walking distance of many local attractions. The hop on/off buses recommended proved an excellent way to view the cities. Travel could not have been easier and Norway itself was stunning. Will definitely be booking with Marvellous Escapes again. Thank you Laurie.

5 stars to Marvellous Escapes !

We flew from the UK to the fabulous roman city of Verona for 2 nights. Our hotel was a perfect location, just a 2 minute walk to the famous arena. Our trip included a 2 hour walking tour of the city and our guide was excellent. All the city sights are within a 20 minute walk. The weather was great, as was the food. We then spent our third night travelling on the Orient Express from Verona to Paris. What a thrill, what service, what food, and the endless supply of wine and champagne. Our steward (Antony) was a gem and spoilt us rotten. Great memories ! Our final trip from Paris back to the UK was via Eurostar. Again, great service, with a meal and drinks included.
All transfers went very smothly and everything went perfectly as per the itinerary. During our trip it was my wife's birthday and thanks to Marvellous Escapes our hotel and the Orient Express made sure it was celebrated in style

Many congratulations to Marvellous Escapes and their travel designer Hayley.

For your perfect escape we would highly recomnend Marvellous Escapes in finding it !

Laurie managed to arrange the special trip for my husband with the constraints of my budget. Looking forward to surprising him for his special birthday.

Told Olivia what I wanted she sorted it then just paid the deposit very easy

Excellent customer service. Good website. Friendly staff over the phone. Spot on.

My holiday was an “bucket list” adventure - to travel to and around Switzerland by train including the Glacer and Bernina Express. Every aspect of my dealings with Marvellous Escapes was perfect from the initial chats around ideas and planning with Laurie, to the booking, payment, tickets and of course the final main event. I’d go nowhere else now to plan a holiday.
Once booked I was kept informed throughout, I received a lovely folder with everything I needed - information contacts tickets etc. then I received a digital version of the same. And all the while we were away there was a 24 hour What’s App contact there if we needed it. I used it once whilst away and hit a response within 10 minutes. I really couldn’t suggest anything to improve upon.

Just returned from a fantastic trip … ‘Norway in a Nutshell Extended’ organised by Marvellous Escapes. Great recommendations and a superb service from Laurie and her colleagues. We had a fabulous time, with a great itinerary and wonderful hotels. The trip was very well organised, and hassle free! Well worth using Marvellous Escapes for their expert local knowledge and advice, rather than trying to muddle through to book everything separately without having the peace of mind they can offer!

We recently went on a marvellous escapes Italian Lakes rail trip and enjoyed the trip immensely- excellent itineraries and easy to follow documentation. From the actual booking to the start of our holiday, all was well planned out for us-
The arranging of train bookings and hotels took the stress away for a great relaxing holiday.
Hotels were great with good breakfast options and friendly helpful staff.
We will certainly book again with marvellous escapes - thank you !

Marvellous Escapes goes above and beyond, providing a friendly service to meet our requirements. Nothing is too much trouble, I love their flexibility, patience and responsiveness to make sure we have a beautiful experience which is personal to us.
Highly recommend Marvelous escapes.
