What do our clients say:-

Me and my partner went to Amsterdam for 4 days with the help of Bernie. Couldn’t recommend her enough! We told her what we wanted and she found exactly what we were looking for! Wonderful service in which Bernie went the extra mile and clearly nothing was too much trouble!! Thank you so much xx

Dionnie Nuttall

Thank you Bernie for organising our cruise at such short notice.
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect holiday, from dropping the car at the airport to picking it up there was not one single hiccup. The subtle little extras – The airport lounge, the fast passes, made the start of the holiday so relaxing. Then the flights, the transfers, the cruise, the hotel, everything ran so smoothly that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
We had an amazing time, thank you again and I look forward to booking our next holiday with you

Bethan, Sept 18

Bernie arranged an absolutely fantastic 50th birthday holiday for myself and my husband to Switzerland! The two hotels she booked, in Montreux the Grand Hotel Suisse-Majestic and in Wengen the Beausite Park Hotel, were brilliant and I cannot recommend them enough! The flights and trains arranged were great, as were the two excursions. I would not hesitate to recommend Bernie and Galactic Travels to my family and friends!

Tracy, June 18

Thank you Bernie! Without you our first holiday may never have happened! A tight timeframe and a couple of tricky guidelines weren’t a challenge (well they certainly didn’t appear to be!) and everything was sorted quickly and with professionalism…and some laughs!
I cannot recommend Bernie enough – if you want help with your holiday booking, look no further!
We had a fabulous, chilled out holiday – just what we wanted! We’ll be back!
Thank you, Charlet & Neil xx

Charlet , October 18

First time with Galactic Travels and the wonderful Berniexperience. We as a rule book flights hotels etc ourselves but never again everything so relaxed and professionally done for by Bernie, it takes all the hassle and creates a stress free holiday right from the start.

Fred Ashton

Just back from a lovely hol booked by Bernie will be booking again with this lovely lady even got me a ground floor room with a walk in shower thanks Bernie you are a star xxx.

Anne Thompson

What an amazing person Bernie is! From discussing and sharing ideas of an ideal mini break for us, she couldn’t do enough. She organised the best flights and location of hotel we could ever ask for in Rome. Bernie planned all our paperwork and transfers – we literally just had to turn up at the airport and fly to Rome!
She is always available to help and support what must feel like 24/7!
We had a fantastic time.

Thank you Bernie for everything you have done.

Alex, July 18

I can’t thank you enough Bernie for all the time and effort you put into booking our trip to Iceland. We had an amazing time and nothing I threw at you was too much trouble! Memories that will last a life time! Thank you so much �� xx

Laura Tabner-White , January 2018

Cannes 16th May Absolutely excellent service from Bernie. She took all the stress away from both the booking and travelling on my recent business trip, all I had to do was turn up with the paperwork she had printed off for me! As I was travelling alone it was also a great comfort to know there was someone there to ring if I had had a problem. Can’t recommend her services highly enough.

Pamela Holt

My 2 girls arrived back from Cuba � 6 days ago & are still talking about there adventures & wish they were still there!! Bernie arranged a fabulous all-inclusive holiday to Hotel pesquero.. in Holguin, which was perfect for my 2 girls.. from the minute i told Bernie the dates which they wanted to travel until they arrived back home the service was excellent, I knew they were going to be safe & looked after. Visa’s, pre-booked seats, meals on board, transfers & not forgetting the endless emails, phone calls & messages Bernie answered I had sent her regarding the holiday. Bernie is a fantastic, helpful & thoughtful person & travel agent. I would highly recommend her services & we are looking forward to booking our next holiday’s with her at Galactic Travel.

Edith Tyreman – January 2018, Your Content Goes Here

Want to say a massive thank you to Bernie @ Galactic travels for helping us find our dream holiday. Prior to booking with Bernie we weren’t sure of what we wanted or where we wanted to go, just that we wanted the ‘WOW’ factor due to this being a 40th birthday celebration. With this limited information Bernie returned with several options for us to look through. Once we had decided on our destination Bernie then provided us with a catalogue of information regarding the resort and the local area, which satisfied our concerns of booking the holiday we wanted. The booking process was so easy and stress free and Bernie took care of everything including printing all confirmations and also checking into our flights. Bernie had also arranged complimentary executive lounge at Manchester airport and a champagne breakfast on the day of my birthday, these are just a few personal touches that you don’t get booking with a high street travel agent! We can’t thank Bernie enough for everything she has done to ensure that we had the most amazing holiday and will not hesitate to book any future holidays through her. Highly recommended xxxx

Sherry, August 18

Thanks very much Bernie, the holiday was excellent. Bernie was helpful and professional at all times, she got the best price and sorted all the paperwork ect! Wouldn’t look anywhere else when booking my next holiday, great service. She gave us lots of options regarding location and hotels, I am sure she can tailor any holiday to your requirements! Highly recommend.

Blake, July 19

Thankyou so much to Bernie for booking our amazing holiday to Greece, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted. You works extremely hard to make sure you are available all the time, no matter what time it is you are always there to contact if needed. You made sure the whole process was stress free and easy, from choosing the hotel/ location to booking the hotel.
We had an amazing holiday that we won’t forget and we will certainly be booking with you again next year

Amy, July 18
Over the years I have used Bernadette to book my flights to Ireland for me and she has always been professional and looked after my wellbeing. Any worries that cropped up she was there to sort for me. Thank you and look forward to my next booking.
Sandra Dempsey – 29/03/2017

We have just returned from Venice after 4 lovely days celebrating our anniversary. Bernie arranged everything for us including the Aspire lounge at the airport and private water taxi on arrival in Venice. The trip was amazing but we walked our legs off. On our return we expected the water taxi to drop us at the road taxi in the port but to our surprise we had a speed boat straight to the airport. Jetty’s are right in front of the departure terminal. Amazing. Thank you Bernie xx

Annie Hughes

Super helpful, can’t do enough for you, would always be a first port of call going forward.

Tom Marsland

Thankyou so much to Bernie for booking our trip of a lifetime to NZ. She worked extremely hard and nothing was too much trouble. Bernie is very professional and focussed, ensuring everything was exactly as we required and at a fantastic price! Her committment and excellent work ethic ensured we had a stress free journey from start to finish, both with the booking process and the actual long trip.
I will not hesitate to book with her again in the future.

Kate, June 18

Myself and my husband have just travelled back from, the beautiful island of Fuerteventura. We stayed at Caybeach apartments in Caletta De Fuste. The apartments were very clean, and well presented for basic accommodation. All around the apartments, pool area, etc were spotless, the staff were friendly and, very helpful. We would like to send Bernadette a massive thank you for our recent trip. Customer service, is second to none. We will recommended Galactic Travels to our family and, friends. Thank you Bernadette, we will be booking again with you. X

Serena Guy
What a wonderful lady! Bernadette will go that extra mile to find something special for you. Always most helpful, she can’t do enough for you. Thank you Bernadette!
Nicola Rogers – 28/03/2017
The level of personalised customer service and attention to detail is absolutely second to none. I have booked two holidays with Bernie so far and looking into a third for next year – a mixture of Uk and abroad. I went to Bernie with no idea where I wanted to go and she found me a holiday that felt like it was hand picked for me and my little family. Bernie researched even the smallest details and it was perfect. The little gift that was waiting for us when we arrived at our holiday home was the icing on the cake, can’t thank her enough! Xxx

Danelle Hansen – 22nd June 2017
We stayed in a lovely lodge-like home for 4 nights in Devon. Customer service with Bernie was second to none. Nothing was too much hassle even though we kept changing our minds on where we wanted to go and stay. On arrival we recieved a lovely gift with Prosecco, Coffee & Chocolates (everything you need for a few nights away) with a hand written ‘Thank you’ card. You certainly don’t get that from the big travel agents! Bernie certainly made the usual stressful holiday searching a special and relaxing experience. Wouldn’t book with anyone else now. Thank you so much for all your hard work and making the holiday one to remember!

Ashleigh Lauren - 31st July 2017
Thank you Bernadette for organizing my recent business trip to Germany. Flights and train times all well to plan, i could not have asked for anything better. I will definitely be utilizing your, experience and knowledge again for business and private travel.

Joe Cassidy - Aug 17.
Bernie found us the perfect mid-week break in Italy for our 20th wedding anniversary. She arranged airport parking, flights, transfers, hotel, champagne on arrival and even booked our anniversary meal at a restaurant. I planned it as a surprise for my wife and Bernie arranged a couple of personalised touches which made our trip even more special. Great attention to detail, excellent customer service and bags of patience too!

Brian Curran 5 star review – 16th July 2018

Thanks very much Bernie, the holiday was absolutely excellent. Bernie was very helpful and sorted out all the additional extras eg making sure we got a fridge in our room. She made sure we had a sea view, and wow what a view it was , we could lie in bed and see the sea, it was amazing. All the paperwork was sorted she took the hassle out of booking the holiday. I certainly wouldn’t look anywhere else when booking my next holiday, fantastic service. Highly recommend Galactic travels.

Nikki, August 18

Huge thank you to Bernie for all her help and advice with booking our holiday. She made everything so easy for us and worked very hard making sure everything was right. I won’t think twice about booking with her again/ recommending her.

Megan, Sept 18
Hi Berni we have had the most amazing perfect holiday, everything was just spot on! What a beautiful island!
We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us from start to finish! Your attention to detail and professionalism is second to none and Mollies first request when we got home was; “Berni must book our next holiday mum”!
Thankyou so very much xx 😘
