John Fowler Holidays

Booked the coastal break in Devon and the first thing I noticed was how the coach pickup times were laid out in the confirmation email, which saves a lot of phoning around. Hotel was clean and the staff sorted a late check in without fuss. Good value for the money. Will use them again for the autumn trip.

Went with them rather than ringing round three agents, and it was quicker on my phone than the others. Booked a city break in Prague and the price was about the same as the cheapest I found. Confirmation was instant.

I compared them against two other tour operators before booking and they were not the cheapest, which I had hoped. The coach trip itself was comfortable and the itinerary was well put together. I felt the extras like the lunches were a bit pricey for what you got, so it was a fair price rather than a bargain.

We have booked the same villa in Crete with them for about fifteen years now, and this year was the first time the transfer from the airport was not waiting when we landed. It turned up about forty minutes late, which is a shame after all this time, but the rep sorted it out quickly and we got to the villa fine. Still the best company we have used for a family trip, and the pool was lovely as always.

I needed something to get away after my final exams and my mates were all booking somewhere different. I went with a short city break they had listed, and the booking was done in one go on my phone. The hotel was a bit further from the centre than the photos suggested, but the check in was easy and the room was fine.

Needed a last minute break after a rough few months and found a cheap hotel stay in Brighton on the site. Booked it in about five minutes on my phone while on the bus. The room was lovely, the staff at check in were so friendly and I had a proper rest. Brilliant.

I needed somewhere quiet to celebrate my fortieth without the usual party crowd, so I looked at a few places before deciding. I went for a small hotel in the Cotswolds and the booking was easy. The room was lovely, the breakfast was excellent and the staff remembered it was my birthday. Would go back.

Booked a weekend in Bath through the app and it took about five minutes. The hotel was nice and central, though the breakfast was smaller than the pictures suggested. Would book again.

It is a sound choice if you want a relaxed break without much fuss, and we found the hotel staff were very helpful when our room was not quite ready. The booking side was straightforward and the price was fair for the area. We did not mind the wait at reception on arrival, and we would consider them again.

Having booked a lot of package holidays over the years, this beat the usual operators on the transfers, because they were a proper coach waiting at the airport and not a shared minibus. The rep at the resort was on hand every day and answered questions the same day. I have a fair idea of what these trips should include and this one did.

The price for a week in Cyprus was lower than what I found elsewhere for the same hotel and dates. Flights and transfers were all included and the room was a good size.

The guide on our Tuscany coach trip knew the history of every church and winery we stopped at, which I did not expect. Our coach was a little cramped on the longer drives. We would go again.

Verdict is that the trip itself was good, the hotel in Lisbon was lovely and the transfers ran on time. Booking was quick on the site but I had a question about the room and it took them three days to reply by email. Price was a bit higher than I found elsewhere for the same hotel, though not by much. Would go with them again but I'd ring rather than email next time.

I priced up the flights and hotel separately on a few comparison sites and this package came out cheaper once you add up the transfers and the car hire. The booking took about ten minutes on the site and the confirmation came straight away. Everything matched what was listed and the hotel was clean. Worth checking them before you go direct.

Fine trip but I expected more for the price, having compared a few other operators first. The hotel was clean and the staff were pleasant. The excursions cost extra and were a bit overpriced, and the transfer took longer than the brochure said.

We booked our first ever package with John Fowler for a week in the Algarve in March, mostly because the price for the flights and a self catering apartment looked too good to be true. It wasn't. The booking took ages on the site because it kept timing out when I added the second room, but once it went through everything ran smoothly. The rep at the airport was friendly and the transfer was on time. Would book again.

Booked the York city break for me and my partner, quick and easy on the app. The hotel was right by the station and the room was good. Confirmation came through straight away.

The hotel had a rooftop bar which was the highlight for me. Booking was easy and the price was decent for a weekend in Edinburgh. Room was a bit small but fine for two nights.

We need a few days by the sea each year for my husband's back, and this is the fourth time we have used them for it. The hotel is easy on the legs and the lift works. We know what to expect and it has always been right.

Best value I found for a family break in Spain, and I checked a lot of places. The package included the car hire at a sensible rate and the booking went through without any fuss. The villa had everything we needed and the kids loved the pool.
