My First trip to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

What an amazing country, a visit to here should be on everyone’s bucket list.

I would really like to thank a member of your staff - Emily Jacobs for her outstanding help and assistance in our cruise booking.

I really wanted to thank you so much for your exceptional service that you provided us in arranging not only our flights but all the associated complex documentation, to allow us entry into Canada.

We’ve been using the Colchester branch for the past 12 years to book our holidays and every time we have received excellent service from your advisors.

We wanted to say how much we have appreciated Mark's incredible patience, knowledge and sound advice in dealing with any bookings we have made through him at Fred. Olsen.

The ship and staff were brilliant. And your shop, made that happen!! Hopefully we will meet again.
