EASTRAVEL Traveller Reviews

This was my first time in Singapore and thanks to the advice from Eastravel and Dorothy especially choose a superb Hotel, we were there for 3 nights but could have quite easily done 5 nights, theres a lot more to see and do in Singapore than just shopping, after Singapore went on to Koh Samui for a rest this was not our first time there and most definately not be my last. Excellent Hotel in Bophut and superb staff.

Have been using Eastravel for a while now and booked Several big holidays with them with no problems whatever if you give them a budget they try to stick as close to it as humanly possible. The staff are so professional and knowledgable about your destination, hotels everything. Nothing is a problem for Dorothy and her excellent team of experts. If you ever have a problem whether before you go or when your out there they are always contactable and get back to you as quickly as possible about your questions or problems. I would never have any reservations about recommending Eastravel to anyone because they are not like any run of the mill high street travel agents they are friendly, extremely knowledgable people where nothing is a problem.

We had arranged a stop over in Singapore before flying onto Koh Samui to relax by the beach. This was not our first time in Koh Samui and am sure it won't be our last. I last visited Sinapore twenty-six years ago and was not disappointed. Despite what some people say, there is plenty to do in Sigapore other just shopping.

Dorothy and the team at Eastravel go out of there way to provide excellent customer service. Queries even whilst away can always be addressed via email/Whatsapp etc. Advice in respect of hotels always seems to meet clients requirements/expectations. I would not hesitate in recommending Eastravel to anyone.

Our holiday was perfect firstly our prices was beaten for anything I found online. The hotel was beautiful the rooms Was gorgeous and overlooking the sea as requested. East travel helped with everything and was very quick to reply with any queries I have recommended them now to a few people.

Very friendly helpful and efficient at dealing with any email enquries.

We loved every minute of our holiday to Dubai. The hotel was fantastic and couldn't fault anything about it.

Eastravel were brilliant from start to finish. They were extremely helpful whilst booking the holiday and were happy to help/assist with any queries I had. I will be using them to book all future long-haul holidays!

2 weeks touring Vietnam from north to south then 1 week in Thailand

We knew very little of the countries we intended to visit so relied solely on our adviser at Eastravel in Ipswich to put together an itinerary based around our stated preferences. We couldn't have wished for a better experience which enabled us to see all the major tourist and historic sights in Vietnam and then include our wishes of a visit to the River Kwai Bridge and culminating in a relaxing beach resort for our final few days. All tours and accommodation fully met our expectations.

We have travelled with this company for many years and are always guided by their expertise and knowledge of the Far East. We traveled to Ko Chang an island situated in the golf of Thailand. This was the first time we had visited this island and had a wonderful relaxed holiday staying at the Emerald Cove hotel. Staff were hospitable and willing to help rooms were clean and tidy but would recommend a see view or swimming pool room outlook as the rear view is not pleasant but ok. Plenty of restaurants along the beach to enjoy mostly run by families. We enjoyed fresh seafood with plenty of choice from crab to Tiger prawns and red snapper all cooked fresh on the BBQ. Prices worked out approximately £10 pp with drinks although you can eat for less. Best part of the holiday was not having to look for sun beds what a bonus. Thia airways flights out was good return not so pleasant as it seemed definitely one rule for economy passengers and another for business / first class. We seemed to have got stewards that just wanted to sleep and not help when I was unable to locate my night pillow to sleep and then came around and turned off my monitor whilst I was watching a programme . we travelled on the new A380 upper deck was pleasant and quite although I thing I prefer travelling with Eva air now.

Fantastic helpful and would not dream of traveling to the Far East without first going to see what they can do for us. We have travelled with this company for many years and will continue to use them for the foreseeable future . Thanks East Travel

My husband and I travelled to Sri Lanka for a 2 week holiday having booked with East Travel in Ipswich,Suffolk. Our only remit was to have the most amazing experience with as many sites and sounds of the cultural triangle, famous landmarks, and with a beach location to unwind after all our experiences. We were not disappointed. After a hassle free journey we were picked up from the airport at Columbo, and were expertly guided around temples, sacred sites,cultural landmarks towns and villages.It felt as though our guide hand been hand-picked to ensure we had the best experiences we could possibly achieve during his time with us. After 8 days of travelling to the most amazing sites and hotels in Sri Lanks, we arrived at our final hotel to spend 6 days relaxing by the sea. Our holiday had been the most incredible and memorable experience and better than we could ever had imagined. We cannot recommend the country and culture enough.

East Travel in Ipswich is an incredible travel agency that tailors your needs wants and desires expertly and efficiently, taking into your account all your wants, wishes and dreams. No want is too challenging, no wish is too extreme and no dream is too much to desire.

Although a communist country it certainly doesn't feel like it. People are lovely and there are many places to visit. Don't miss out on the wonderful markets. Downside was the rubbish in the sea and rivers. Hotels excellent. Roads and traffic are as you would expect in a third world country. Crossing the road was interesting to say the least! We visited three cities - all very different but interesting in their own way. (Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An)

Wonderful service and holiday tailor made for us. We could not have asked for more. Itinerary was interesting and varied; and everything ran smoothly. We had our own private driver and guide for each part of the trip and they were all very helpful and informative, Information and helpful tips were given to us before we went. Thank you.

All arrangements, from arrival in Columbo to departure, worked perfectly. Our driver/guide (Thusith) was excellent, being very good in English, knowledgable, and always willing to bend the programme to meet our wishes. Our particular interest is in birds, and his extensive knowledge of the local wildlife made the safari trips particularly memorable. The safaris at Yala and Uda Walawe were the main highlight for us, followed by the whale watching at Mirissa but the cultural experiences and the tea plantations were also fascinating. The itinerary was very busy, and if we were to drop any element, it would have been the Elephant Orphanage at Pinnawala - we much preferred to see the elephants in the wild later in the tour. Most of the hotels were excellent, although for our tastes, two of them did not quite hit the spot. The Mirissa Hills hotel was all right for one night but we would not have wanted to stay longer. Despite its stunning location, its remoteness and lack of a bar and restaurant,and basic facilities meant that we felt somewhat marooned 5 KM from anywhere! .

The itinerary arranged by Easttravel had been customised for us to suit our particular interests, and the resulting balance was perfect for us. The holiday was arranged at quite short notice, but everything was organised perfectly, and all of our dealings with Eastravel were conducted in a very friendly and efficient manner. This is the second time we have booked a holiday with Eastravel, and they certainly have not disappointed us.
