Travel Nation Arvostelua 

When offered the opportunity to visit Japan and take the family I was a bit overwhelmed with what to see, where to stay and how to organise it all.

Gray at Travel Nation was fabulous, planning the whole visit for us, starting from an initial conversation on when, how long for and on what budget, through to the final itinerary, always happy to chat through options, discuss concerns and help advise on any issues.

When we got all the final travel information packs through, a few weeks before departure, everything was clear, with detailed maps on how to get to each hotel from the nearest station and all the info we needed. The full itinerary set out for each day and lots of bonus information. All train tickets were ready at our first hotel along with a portable wifi device.

All the planning handled by Gray and Travel Nation, meant I could spend the time relaxing and enjoying the holiday and not worrying about the next step in the journey.

We have recently returned from a great 4-week holiday in South America, visiting the sights in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Brazil, all organised by Jim Faulkner at Travel Nation and once again Jim came up trumps!

Our first contact with Jim was nine years ago and since then we have entrusted him with our holidays each year around various parts of the globe, all of which we have been very pleased with. Jim has extensive knowledge and personal experience in the travel industry and from an initial telephone conversation where we discuss our holiday ideas, Jim is able to put together an itinerary and schedule that exceeds our expectations.

We have no hesitation in recommending Travel Nation and in particular Jim Faulkner who will take time to plan a bespoke and tailored holiday which we are sure will meet your every requirement.

All we can say is a massive thanks to Jim,
our world trip was completely hassle free.
We spent almost 2 years planning our 6 week retirement trip chopping and changing locations and dates! Jim got everything spot on, from flight times, hotels and day trips that were first class.
Again thank you so much to Jim and the whole Travel Nation team.

Travel Nation are super at furnishing our lesiure groups with worldwide flight quotes, as well as our Performing Arts groups to Paris.

Pre trip advice and guidance was excellent, informative and never felt pressured. The support whilst travelling was beyond helpful when we encountered difficulties. Our personal adviser, Jim Faulkner, really helped us to curate the perfect trip.

Andrea - Where would I be without her!
I run diving trips and use Travel Nation to arrange my group flights, usually 10-20 people to a far flung corner of the Pacific. This removes the hassle for the individual group members but leaves me knowing what people are doing and when, too easy! (I'm not sure Andrea would concur though, lol).
Highly recommend.

NIkki created an itinery for a round the World trip then helped us make changes to fit exactly what we wanted.
Nikki and partner agent in New Zealand helped us to change our plans at last minute to survive a cyclone on the east coast of NZ. Great support.

We told Travel Nation where we wanted to go, what we wanted to see and the things we wanted to do. They spent a couple of weeks putting an itinerary together for us and after a bit of tooing and froing and a few tweaks here and there, to get our adventure just as we wanted it, we were all set.
Our trip was so perfectly organised, all we had to do was enjoy it! They sent us an app with every single detail on it, from the weather forecast in each location to the times we would be picked up from our hotel for tours or airport transfers. All of our 11 flights were detailed and there was even a currency convertor to refer to. There were a couple of unforseen changes during our trip due to protests and road blocks in La Paz, but Travel Nation were on it straight away, they were in communication with the local travel company who adjusted our itinerary and got us to our next destination seamlessly, this is something we would not have been able to do had we organised this trip ourselves. During the last 46 years we've organised our own trips and travelled all over the world, but our recent trip to South America was completely put together by Travel Nation and it was fantastic, we are already planning to use this great travel company for our next trip. A huge shout out and thank you to Jim.

We (Voyager School Travel) have used Mark at Travel Nation for 10+ years and always found him & the company exceptional. Specialising in educational groups we need to be on the ball at al times. Travel Nation are quick to respond to any request and through & detailed in doing so. Mark is always 'on it' when it comes to option expiry dates, confirmations and problems with airlines when they do (occasionally) occur.

We have used Travel Nation for the last few years to arrange group travel for a Ugandan children’s choir, and their service has been exceptional throughout.

The team at Travel Nation consistently goes above and beyond to support us, especially when things haven’t gone according to plan. Their advice is always honest, practical, and focused on finding the best solution. As a charity, we particularly appreciate their willingness to help and the understanding they show towards our unique needs.

Over the years, they have helped us recover costs when travel arrangements were disrupted and have been invaluable in resolving issues such as missing luggage. Having a knowledgeable and reliable team to turn to during stressful situations has made a huge difference.

We are incredibly grateful for Travel Nation’s professionalism, dedication, and outstanding customer service. Their support has given us confidence and peace of mind when organising complex group travel, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a travel company they can trust.

Shoutout to Mark in particular for having the patience of a saint!

First class service throughout! from start to finish Andrea was outstanding organising everything for my group

I can’t recommend Travel Nation highly enough. They’ve been absolutely brilliant in organising a 10-day golf trip for 12 of us, which is no small task!

From the very start, the team were professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and came back with a tailored itinerary that ticked all the boxes.

Managing a group of this size can be challenging, but they handled everything seamlessly – from flights and accommodation to transport and golf arrangements.
Communication has been excellent throughout, with quick responses to any questions and plenty of flexibility when we needed to make adjustments. It’s given us real confidence that the trip will run smoothly.
If you’re planning a group trip, especially something as detailed as a golf tour, Travel Nation are definitely the people to go to. First-class service all round!

The holiday was perfectly organised from start to finish. TN monitored our progress as we drove across Canada and sent helpful messages and advice.
I would definitely recommend TN to anyone planning a fly-drive trip and Chris West in particular.

I had Adam help me plan and book all the flights for my gap year from England to New Zealand and places in south east Asia. When my flight home was cancelled due to it going through the Middle East he quickly found me a replacement one which meant no stress for me. Thank you for all the help and quick replies!

6 mois, 13 pays, le rêve d’une vie réussie grâce à Travel Nation et Audric, lequel a su nous conseiller, nous rassurer et nous aider à préparer notre voyage.
Aucune fausse note et on repartira sans doute avec pour visiter d’autres pays.
Merci Audric.

We went to French Polynesia for our honeymoon and Olly made the experience amazing he listened to us for what we wanted to have for those two weeks from activities, places to visit, and most important of all to be able to relax and disconnect from the city. So it was amazing!
Olly made a two weeks plan from visiting Moorea, Bora Bora, Tikehau, Rangiroa the hotel and accommodation was perfect as well! Everyone was super kind clean food wise was amazing! We did get our bungalow over water in Rangiroa and we were so happy!
I recommend hiking in Moorea to see coconut tree the tour guide was amazing we learned a lot! Felt like i was in Avatar movie. Snorkeling with stingray and sharks i felt Moana in the movie! I recommend Travel nation and especially ask for Olly he is amazing!
We will never forget this amazing adventure we are still sad till now that we are back in Uk haha.
Everything was organized from tickets to transport from island to island transport to go to the airport we didn’t need to do anything.
So no doubt in any future holiday will directly ask for Olly! It’s a guarantee you can chill and let travel nation staff deal with it and have fun.

Māururu roa Olly and Travel nation!

Very personal service from Jim who was always flexible and understanding of our needs especially sine we frequently changed out itinerary prior to the trip. We would certainly use Travel Nation again in the future

Our best holiday ever. We cannot thank Chris W at travel nation enough. From the first consultation, planning and the entire experience was faultless.

We had specific requirements and chris managed to meet and surpass them all. His knowledge of Thailand and Cambodia is excellent and guided us expertly when creating our holiday to ensure we maximised our time. Everything worked. All transfers were on time and professional and our guides were excellent. We didn't have to worry about anything which truly made the holiday stress free.

We have never used travel nation before but cannot recommend them enough and will certainly be using chris again in the future.

Thank you chris for all your hard work.

Doing a flight group booking for 54 people with Andrea at Travel Nation was a stress free experience! With various different dates and durations , our trip to Orlando could have been a nightmare but Andrea took all the pressure off me and we wouldn’t hesitate in using Travel Nation for flights for future trips.
Taking our dance teams to compete at The World Championships takes a lot of planning and with so much to think about,knowing that all the flights were reserved and taken care of was a great feeling as well as coming in at a competitive price point we were happy with.
Also, our experience at the airports was the best we’ve ever had with Virgin staff waiting ready for our group check-in at a separate counter and also fast tracking our group through to security both in Heathrow and Orlando which made a huge difference compared to previous trips.
We had a few changes to make along the way but nothing was too much trouble for Andrea and Mark and their customer service was outstanding.
I highly recommend Travel Nation for a group travel booking.

Nothing too much trouble. Chris, our consultant was right on brief we gave him. All questions answered promptly, relevantly.
