Fantastic experience: Anna was very helpful
Fantastic experience: This year i used trailfinders for the first time and i must say i was really pleased. It is lovely in this day and age to be able to actually talk to a travel agent and be able to ask their advice . I was lucky enough to deal with two very helpful people in the Cork Office, Kate and John Paul and between us we organised a brilliant holiday to Bali and Malaysia. They organised all our flights so that the tied together nicely without having to hang around airports for too long. They even reserved our seats on the flights. When we reached our destinations our transport was waiting for us to take us to our hotels and our hotels were amazing. It was so stress free. We had a brilliant time and a holiday to remember for all the right reasons, and i know that is due to Trailfinders and their fantastic staff. Thank you all for everything. Hope to see you soon to book for next year. Marylin Barry

Dear Irish Disney Lover Thank you for the 4* review. Best regards Trailfinders
Fantastic experience: I used Trailfinders to book our honeymoon. The lady we dealt with was very knowledgeable & nice to deal with. She was very helpful. Our trip was perfect with change over in flights. We could have getting cheaper flights if we booked ourselves, but booking it through Trailfinders was peace of mind & security. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Trailfinders, I know we will in the future

We will of course pass on your kind compliments to both your consultant and their manager. Best regards Trailfinders
Fantastic experience: My husband and I couldn't recommend Trailfinders enough. We are just back from our honeymoon which Trailfinders helped us to plan, the service was excellent from start to finish. The hotels that they recommended were absolutely stunning, the flight times and transfers organised by Trailfinders made the trip stress free! Not one fault to be found!
Dear Laura Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know just how much you enjoyed your honeymoon. We are delighted to hear your trip was a great success and that all arrangements worked well. We will be sure to let your consultant and their manager know just how much you appreciated all their hard work. Kind regards Trailfinders
Negative experience: I had an amazing experience with trailfinders until now especially with Maura who is a lovely person. Going through every detail to craft the perfect trip is something we enjoyed when booking our honeymoon which we had to amend due to Covid. The year after, we organised a second trip for our first anniversary and changed location as Australia and New Zealand were not sure to be open to travel. Since I got a job offer, we no longer live in Ireland so we decided to amend a second time and to make something smaller. We went from a cost of 10k to 1.5k just not to lose our deposit money. Being in Spain we called trailfinders and tried to organise something nearby over the phone. We decided to go to Mallorca because of price range and availability of their partners and because both hotel and flights must be booked with them. It turns out that there is no hotels in Palma within our budget for three nights and with their hotels so the agent books us in Santa Ponsa saying that it’s very close to Palma. Price was somewhere around 1600€ for both flight and hotel for a standard room and just breakfast. We decided to do some research and it turns out that the price was actually 600€ less if we were to book on our own and with a superior room with seaview with breakfast and dinner included. So we pointed this out and we paid the correct amount. This massive price difference should have been a red flag for us but we decided to move forward because we had very good experience with them in the past so we trusted the agent. We get there and it’s not close to Palma but 20 minutes by car. Hotel has 2 beds instead of a double (remember honeymoon, anniversary and so on) The place is awful. Hotel dirty and broken. Dinner is a buffet and closes at 9 as well as the rooftop that closes at 11 (now you are in Spain and they close everything before midnight?) This was not a place for a young couple during their anniversary but some sort of parking spot for old tourists that have no clue. In fact it turns out that the area is well known for being one of the worst places in Mallorca. When we decided to complain with Trailfinders, their answer was that I knew that the place was not Palma and that in Ireland people have dinner early. Now they advertise tailored trips and they put this on me? They are the ones that know the places and that we pay to sort those things out and all they could do was to indirectly say it was our fault without doing literally anything to solve the issue. If we haven’t rented the car on our own we would have been stuck in this tourist trap place where food is awful and people get scammed. So to sum up I feel like they stopped caring when I could no longer afford to do a 10k trip and that they tried to get as much money as possible off of me. When this didn’t happen, they threw an itinerary just to get rid of us. Ah to make up for the separate beds, they offered a 50 euros refund for the annoyance which feels more like an insult than anything. After my review I was contacted by management which I appreciate but of course it’s already too late as my experience was already ruined and they failed to support me when I needed

Fantastic experience: Never used a travel company before however I was looking for some guidance for a holiday and figured we'd stop in even if we didn't book anything. Ended up walking out with a 10 day holiday planned at a great price. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to COVID-19 however they issued a full refund. Extremely impressed with the customer service, I'll definitely be using them again!!
Dear Molly Thank you very much for your kind review! We will of course look forward to assisting you with your future travels. Trailfinders
Fantastic experience: We booked our holiday with Trailfinders & Julia was our agent who gave us excellent professional advice. Unfortunately we were unable to travel due to Covid 19. Trailfinders once again showed their professionalism keeping us informed & fully refunding our trip. Thank you Trailfinders. Looking forward to re booking our trip soon.
Dear Breda Thank you very much for your kind review. I'm pleased to hear you received great service during a difficult time and I will be sure to pass on your compliments to Julia. We will of course look forward to helping you rebook your trip. Trailfinders
Fantastic experience: Recently had our holiday plans cancelled due to Covid -19. Trailfinders contacted us regularly with updates on the return of our money and it was very reassuring to have them deal with it. I am 100% going to book all future travel with them due to their professional, friendly manner and the security of having them there when things go wrong.
Dear James Thank you very much for your kind review. I'm delighted to hear you have received great service during a difficult time and I will be sure to pass on your compliments to all involved. Trailfinders

Dear Alan Thank you for your kind comments and we're delighted Trailfinders were able to assist you. We will certainly pass on your thanks to the travel consultants involved, the team in Cork and their manager. Best wishes Trailfinders
Negative experience: Have had such a disappointing experience with Trailfinders.Still waiting for my refund 3 months after returning home due to Covid 19. I won't be giving my business to them again. Thanks for your reply.As I'm sure you are aware, my contract lies solely with Trailfinders (not Qantas) so that does mean I am waiting for yourselves to resolve this issue.That is the very reason I decided to go with Trailfinders so I would have 'added protection' but unfortunately that has not been the case at all.I will not accept a partial (and tiny)refund when I know I am entitled to a full refund. Regards, Louise Jeffery.
Dear Louise As you're aware, you're waiting on Qantas and not Trailfinders. Trailfinders are doing all they can to chase the airline on your behalf, however, the refund process is currently taking many weeks with all airlines. In the interim, Trailfinders have offered you a part refund from our own pockets if you wish to take up this offer. We will continue to work with Qantas to get back you full available refund as soon as possible, and look forward to continuing being of assistance where we can. Kind regards Trailfinders

Fantastic experience: Really knowledgeable and helpful staff who take the hassle out of booking what best suits all your holiday and travel needs.
Fantastic experience: I love Trailfinders Cork. Niamh and Robert are top of the pile when it comes to understanding their Clients. I started using them about two years ago and have never looked back.It is a joy to be liberated from the tyranny of doing it yourself on the net. Most importantly - they come in cheaper. They are brilliant travel agents. Paddy Shanahan
Dear Mr Shanahan Thank you very much for your review of the continued great service offered by our team in Cork, I am delighted to hear you've had very positive experiences. Of course, while looking online yourself can be great for inspiration, trying to arrange a multi-centre trip, from a number of websites, is not only time consuming and complicated, but there can be many pitfalls to going it alone. Not only that, there may be attractive pricing online, but it's often stripped back. I'm pleased you recognise the value of booking with Trailfinders, because where we can, look to offer the most inclusive prices, including local taxes, service charges and resort fees. I am pleased both Niamh and Robert have taken away the hassle and made it so easy for you, and I will be sure to pass on your kind compliments to Niamh, Robert and their manager. Thank you again, we wish you a very enjoyable trip and look forward to assisting you with your future travels. Trailfinders
Fantastic experience: Terrifically knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff!

Dear Mr O'Shea Thank you very much for your kind review, I will be sure to pass on your compliments to the team in Cork. Trailfinders
Fantastic experience: Always very good
Negative experience: They created an itinerary that I requested (I called out the dates and all places I wanted to go, duration in each etc) which I found was too expensive for me so I asked if it could be itemised so I would be able to decide where I could cut back. Apparently this isn't possible even though it was a bespoke itinerary. So then I asked if I could change the last few days to Dubai instead of Mauritius as that would cut out a flight and therefore save money. My online itinerary was updated for flights only but the hotel was still listed as Mauritius, and it was even more expensive than the first itinerary! That was 27th Feb, haven't heard from them since so I booked with someone else... for significantly less money but got the itinerary I wanted. Disappointing, wouldn't be in a rush to approach them again.
Dear Ms Ryan I am very sorry to hear that you are disappointed, as a company we are always looking to provide the highest level of service and I regret we have fallen short on this occasion. I have asked the General Manager to give you a call to address your concerns and look to learn from your experience. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. Trailfinders
Negative experience: The backup provided when there was a ticketing issue was awful out of normal business hours. The UK office who were assigned to cover did nothing to help and left us on our own to resolve directly with the airline. Would have been better off booking flights directly with the airline.
Positive experience: Knowledgeable, patient and helpful
Positive experience: Good service from JP.
