Travel Department Arvostelua 

Company helpful with any questions,holiday location ,guide,day trips and company were all excellent,hotel was good ,would have no hesitation in recommending travel dept

A wonderful holiday from start to finish, thank you Travel Department for looking after everything, even the minutest detail was catered for, even the rainy day didn’t dampen the experience.

Very nice holiday with lovely friendly people. Would go again

Brilliant holiday in India! Our guide Anurag was really excellent, very knowledgeable and kind. It was clear that he loves his country and he imparted information on history, culture and practices- with humour. We learned so much. The trip was full-on with early mornings and some long days travelling but it was really worth it. If I could make a suggestion to make the holiday even better it would be to add a full day of relaxation at the end.

Fabulous service from start to finish. Highly recommend Travel Department.
Hotel was brilliant, staff went above and beyond to be of assistance.
Excursions were well organised and information was plentiful. Beautiful country, well worth a visit.

The holiday was so well organised the hotels were of a very high standard and the guides which we met at the different destinations were very professional. The value for money was exceptional. The accommodation and staff at the various venues was top class.Excursions were fantastic.I could not have packed in all that we did on this holiday if I had been travelling on my own.

Not only were the accommodation, tours and guides 1st class, there was a level of care shown in an unforseen accident situation which went beyond expectation: arranging hospital transport for family, pharmacy run etc. Super care. Recommended company.

We had a lovely holiday our only disappointment was our beautiful 4 star 🌟 hotel evening meals were very disappointing.

When I got in touch with the staff when booking and when I had a query it was great the way they interacted with me and helped me.

It's lovely to feel you are being listened to and then being helped without any sense of being rushed.

To have the chat is great.

We travelled from Dublin to Egypt from 12 -24Sept 2026. Our guide Dodi was exceptional through out the trip. Continously checking in to ensure everything was ok. His knowledge of all the sites we visited was top notch. His friendliness and level of calmness at all times only added to the overall experience. We have been left with memories of our Egyptian trip
which cannot be surpassed.Cannot recommend Dodi as a guide enough, he's truly a gent. Thanks for the memories.

We had a fantastic trip to Vietnam early September, it’s a busy holiday but its run so smoothly, along with our amazing guide Hung nothing phased him he was full of information and always willing to answer any questions about his beautiful country I would highly recommend

We travelled from Dublin to Egypt from 12 Sept to 24 Sept 2026. Dodi was our appointed tour guide. He was outstanding from our first encounter right up until our final goodbye. His knowledge of all facets of our tour was exceptional as was his very friendly demeanour. In many ways he displayed an engaging personality and character who accommodated and engaged with every member of our Irish/Scottish group. His friendly leadership and calm expression was verbally praised by each member of our tour group. His expert knowledge of Pharaonic Egypts ancient past made the tour all the more interesting. He left us with fantastic memories of our time in Egypt. Thankyou Dodi.

We liked being in good company of lovely people. Our guide was fantastic and could not be nicer. The hotel itself was super clean but unfortunately the spa cost €40 per hour.
On the down side the food in our hotel Monte Sargo in Osturi was terrible especially dinner. Most people dined elsewhere on more than one night. It was a pity because our group got on so well and had to dine in different restaurants and meet for drinks later.

Just returned from a very memorable trip to Egypt on a Travel Department Nile cruise.
We met our expert guide Dodi on day 2 and he never left us throughout the entire trip.
An invaluable guide, Dodi was an absolute expert in his knowledge of Egypt and how to get the best from every site visit, thank you Dodi. Hotels were excellent and the ship was OK. All staff everywhere very pleasant and attentive.

We have just returned from a trip to Egypt, booked through Travel Department and made special by our guide in Egypt, Dodi. His knowledge on all things Egyptian and Pharaonic was immense, his humour kept us bouyed along in the heat and his patience, sensitivity and unflappable character were always evident. He was always part of the group, his English perfect and he even has a cupla focal! Go raibh maith agat Dodi.

Just back from holiday in Egypt with Travel Department and experience was totally enhanced by our guide Dodi. Friendly, knowledgeable and so very helpful. He really added to the whole experience.

Just back from Egypt with Travel Department excellent trip from Cairo to Luxor and finished in Hurghada a very historic experience would definitely recommend it.Our tour guide Emad Fathy (Dodi) was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with and made it all worthwhile

Just back from Egypt tour with the Travel Department and I can only say it was an experience worth having. From the group to the tours, accommodation and our excellent tour guide Emad Fathy otherwise known as Dodi I had one of the best tours of my life.
Dodi made this tour so memorable with his vast knowledge, personal experiences, calming nature and friendly interactions. Dodi made time for every member of our 24 people group, joining in and sharing many special moments with us all.

Booked through Ramsay Travel, we traveled from Cairo to Aswan on the Rademis 11 then back to Cairo. Two days in Cairo seeing the Museum and the Pyramids. Then from the boat, we went on tours seeing all the famous historical sites. Through-out we were accompanied by Emad (Dodi) Fathy. Dodi is an Egyptologist and a tour guide. He guided us to the important artifacts in the museum and accompanied us to all the sites. His Knowledge was incredible! His English language was perfect, our group was Scots & Irish and he never seemed to have an issue with our strong accents. He was also very aware we had come from 18 degrees to 44 degrees and made every effort to ensure we didn't miss any of the site due to heat exhaustion. The whole history of Egypt was fascinating and Dodi's enthusiasm was infectious.
Radamis 11 is an old boat and needs some repair, we struggled with the drawers in the wardrobe, lack of sockets for modern day equipment (take an adequate adapter) and a lack of evening entertainment. That said, the staff are brilliant and made the holiday great. Our steward, Ahmed Hassan, not only cleaned the rooms perfectly, he made great towel animals that he called his "surprise ". At times, there was no one manning the bar on the sun deck. This was due to having to make cocktails in the main bar for guests in the sun bar a problem easily rectified by the use of the phone.
The holiday finished in Swiss Inn Hurghada. Two days rest sun bathing,swimming in the Red Sea and eating in a choice of restaurants. Evening entertainment was not our taste, very tame games. However, this is a very strenuous holiday not suitable for those with mobility issues. The hotel has a private beach and numerous pools. Great for resting after a busy time.
The whole trip was fantastic, once in a life time. What also made it great was being part of a group. We all got on great and have kept in touch once home, sharing tales and photos of our time together.
Only down side was the ware sellers outside every historical site. The sellers inside were pleasant and enjoyed a barter. The ones outside, were more pushy. Standing In our way or putting a scarf round our necks. By day 3 we had learned to keep walking and not engage, no eye contact and they soon backed off.
Would highly recommend this holiday and hope you get Emad (Dodi) Fathy as your guide.

Just returned from a fantastic holiday from Egypt. It was an amazing experience, loved all the trips and sites.
It was Dodi our tour guide who made the holiday so special, he was so knowledgeable, and looked after us so well. 5 ⭐️ for Dodi.
