First Discount Travel is First Rate! When my wife and I decided to visit our daughter who is studying in London, we needed a little extra help to plan and arrange our travel plans. Holly was the agent from First Discount Travel to talk care of us and she was AWESOME!
Holly took the time to understand our needs to balance convenience, budget, and adventure! Our hotel was central to all of London's sites and within easy walking distance to our daughter's flat (the British equivalent to apartments for us Americans). London is an expensive city to visit, but with a little advice from Holly, we were easily able to get around on the bus line and "tube" (subway); find affordable, convenient, and tasty food (fish & chips, bangers and mash, and sticky toffee pudding - YUM!); and be selective on which sites were best to spend our money and time (Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and St. Paul's Cathedral were our favorites).
Holly also helped us take a 2 day visit to Scotland, which was spectacular! We spent a day in Edinburgh (pronounced Edinboro) to visit the "Old Town", complete with Edinburgh Castle and churches that were built in the 800's and 900's (that's right! over 1000 years old!). We also took a one day group tour to the Scottish Highlands stopping at a couple castles, lochs (we didn't see Nessie in Lock Ness), and the rolling hills! It was captivating! The tour was through Rabbies (Rabbie as we learned is the Scottish version ob Robert - as in Robert Burns), and I would HIGHLY recommend using them if ever in Scotland.
So this is a trip that my wife and I will never forget! Our dreams were awakened for future adventures, so I am sure that we will be back to First Discount Travel! There is Paris, and Rome, and Barcelona, and Greece, and… Holly - are you ready for us again?
