Fantastic experience: Recently spent a fabulous week touring Northern Spain. This trip was booked through Barter Travel in Cork and everything organised by the wonderful Katarina who works there. She is one super lady, I have used her for previous holidays also and couldn’t recommend her more highly. She goes to great lengths to research and find you the perfect holiday even down to printing your boarding passes. Can’t wait for more adventures and will be in touch with Barter travel and Katarina very soon..

Fantastic experience: Katarina in Barters helped us when my sister and I decided to take my six year old niece to Disneyland Paris. From start to finish, everything was organised for us - Katarina was always available to answer any questions, no matter how trivial, and she thought of everything. Her attention to detail was amazing, and I really got the impression that it was very important to her, and everyone in Barters, that we had the best holiday possible. The professionalism and personal touches from Barters helped make it a trip of a lifetime - thank you, Katerina.

Fantastic experience: Booked a 2 week holiday to California from Lorraine.I usually go down the internet route but decided to give Barters a go as they were 7 of us and didn't fancy the logistics.Anyway got a great deal and excellent service.Not one single problem and great hotels to boot.Anyway so good were Barters that I now have booked a cruise with them for my sons honeymoon in the knowledge that everything will be perfect.

Fantastic experience: My wife Kay and I want to compliment Bernie in the Barter Travel Office in Bandon for her efficient and helpful manner in arranging out Flights to and from Australia over the last 3 years. Nothing is a problem for Bernie and she does all these tasks with a pleasant and friendly demeanour. I would recommend her and the Barter Travel Agency office in Bandon to anyone who wishes to travel, particularly long haul.

Gene Griffin 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Barter Travel for quite some time. In the early days Louise Cronin went above and beyond the call of duty when she helped me to organise the mass transportation of students from Mercy Heights , Skibbereen on school trips. Since my son and his family moved to Australia, Sandra, Lorraine and Niamh have been incredibly helpful in reuniting us. Two years ago I travelled alone to Tasmania and had a totally trouble free journey. This year we were more ambitious and my son-in law, my 18 month old grandson and my pregnant daughter made the long trip to Darwin. Once again it was perfectly organised. When Enda had to return early because of his father's illness everyone was so kind and sensitive. His return journey was arranged in a matter of hours with the minimum of fuss and expense. Imagine our joy when we discovered that Barters had booked bulkhead seats for us, not only on the long Dubai Perth leg out, but from Brisbane/Dubai AND Dubai/Dublin on the way home. Our Australian family are travelling to Ireland next summer and I hope that Barters will work their magic once again. Thank you, Gene Griffin.

Fantastic experience: Hi, we booked our holiday to Australia through Travel Creations Waterford. The holiday was great, the staff at Travel Creations were good. Caroline dealt with us and covered all aspects of tickets, insurance etc. for the trip. Any questions or worries we might have had, Caroline sorted them out. So whenever our next trip abroad will happen, we will be going back to Travel Creations. Thomas O'Neill.

Substitute Joyce 3 years ago

Negative experience: Utterly racist experience. I asked for flight home to Aus. Initially the agent said there were no flights, then when I said they have been allowed as of Nov 1st - she didn't even know this. But the kicker was then her next refusal to help was because, 'You can't fly, only Australians can go.' Didn't ask if I was Australian. Just assumed I wasn't and I had to correct her. While I'm wearing my Aussie Rules Football jacket, talking with my bogan Aussie accent ... I was still was not Home and Away White enough apparently to be helped to go home. Or treated with basic customer service. She clearly did not want to serve me. I wouldn't want to rely on such an agency for help abroad, I also think if you're working in a global space you don't get to be this ignorant. Amazing how you can try to support a local business, but this is the attitude.

Barter's Travelnet

Hi Joyce, we’re sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience with us this time, and value your feedback. We would like to investigate and provide a solution that works for you. If you’re open to discussing further, please get in touch with Tom Randles at (0)21 485 1768 or email us at [email protected]. Your happiness is our priority, and we would love the opportunity to make things right.

Matt 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently went through J Barter to book a group of 26 people for a trip to Florence, something I do regularly through art history courses I teach. I had a fantastic experience dealing with J Barter. Jennifer, the agent I dealt with, was wonderful. In what turned out to be an unusually busy time in Florence, she secured perfect accommodation at an excellent price. Most of the group wished to make individual travel arrangements and Jennifer was most willing to cater for 26 different sets of flights. The hotels Jennifer chose were right in the centre, a crucial feature given how much walking we do on these trips. I have had nothing but excellent feedback from all in my group on the hotel and the booking process. For me, having run many of these trips through other agents, J Barter provided the best service I have ever experienced. They are warm, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional and I could not recommend them highly enough. A special thank you to Jennifer for making the whole process seamless. I will be using Barter exclusively from now on!

Barter's Travelnet

Hi Matthew, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. The team here at J. Barter Travel is thrilled to hear such good feedback! And we are very happy that you and the group loved the experience. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. So thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.

Manan Hussein 6 years ago

Negative experience: Went to counter to make a payment for the cruise. The person I booked cruise with is off and spoke with another agent. Unhelpful and told me there is no booking under my name. Asked to come back tomorrow. Then found the email and gave her the reference number. Found the booking and exactly under my name. The way the attitude toward me is unacceptable.

Barter's Travelnet

Dear Johhny Matthew, thank you for providing your feedback. We are devastated to hear you had such a bad experience with us. We truly apologise for the miscommunication that took place in our shop. Unfortunately, we had an issue with the CRM system and our agent was unable to find your booking without a booking reference. We'd like to ensure these issues won't happen again. Your feedback is important to us. Please feel free to contact me at anytime. Janet, J Barter Travel

John Chalmers 7 years ago

Negative experience: Disgrace of a company and certainly not someone I would use again. Had this not been a child's holiday I would of canceled the whole thing.

Barter's Travelnet

Dear Mr Chalmers, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you. Regarding to your conversation with our travel consultant we are afraid that the baggage policies applied by the airlines are discussed with our customers at the time of the booking confirmation. On July 2017 you were advised about the Aerlingus baggage policy and charges as per Aerlingus website. The fee for 20 kg bag is €25 each way charged by Aerlingus (not by us); and all passengers have 10 kg hand luggage included. Our agents always advise all the customers about the baggage policy of the airlines. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance. Thank you for choosing J Barter!

Fantastic experience: We've been booking our family holidays through J Barter, Douglas for over 10 years. They've never disappointed us with recommendations and we've always received excellent and honest advice to help us choose the best options. Sarah Brady has invariably handled our bookings and we're very grateful to her for always getting it right. Her colleagues Linda and Marie Olive have also always been superb and I can not speak highly enough of the team in J Barter, Douglas Village Shopping Centre.
