Our tour manager
Our tour manager , Ellie Cipollina, was the best tour guide we have ever had. She worked so hard all week. Her organisation skills were brilliant. Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly and that meant we had a very enjoyable holiday. Her knowledge of the areas we visited was outstanding. Ellie has such a positive personality and she was always smiling.

Booking an Andre Rieu tour
Yesterday we booked a tour to see Andre Rieu in Maastricht. The member of staff, Lucy, was so pleasant and made the booking process straightforward and stress free. Though we experienced a glitch with my bank payment, Lucy smoothly switched to another payment method and completed our booking. Thanks again.

Mony our tour guide
I'd like to say that our tour guide Mony, was exceptional. Her knowledge of all the places we visited during our trips was very helpful and made our time in Lake Como, Italy & trips into Switzerland worth it as we hadn't visited before and we wanted to get the most out of each place. The highlight of this trip was definitely going on the Bernina Express, very impressive & stunning views. I'd highly recommend having Mony as our guide again and would book again with Newmarket holidays.

Excellent experience !
Booked a holiday to Portofino and Florence. The lady was very helpful and answered any queries. She was very clear and read everything back to me. Nothing was too much trouble. I have booked with Newmarket Holiday before, to Vancouver and Canadian Rockies, a few years ago. After spending a considerable amount of time researching for a tour to my chosen destination, I decided to book with them again. They are very organised and efficient. They excel at the whole customer experience and are trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Early days for comment
Early days for commenting since all we have done so far is book. Information about the holiday was fine but the early page of the booking system was not intuitive and we had to return to it to update information after we had got on to later pages.

Joyce was very pleasant and efficient
Joyce was very pleasant, patient and efficient in dealing with my call. She took all the hassle of checking in on our trip to Italy by doing the whole thing for us and forwarding the boarding passes to us. Throughout she was cheerful and understanding. A very satisfactory interaction fro which she deserves credit.
