We wanted to book something special for our Mum's 60th Birthday, we came across LJ Leisure and are we glad we did, fantastic value for money, very helpful team and amazing service. We didn't have to think about a thing everything was done for us. They even booked our theatre tickets for us and we were lucky to end up on the front row to Dreamboats and Petticoats and we even got to meet the cast. We wasn't looking forward to the coach travel but it was great, atmosphere was fab and LJ Leisure even did a quiz with us! Lesley was very helpful on our trip and was happy to give us advice to help us enjoy our weekend. The hotel which included breakfast was out of this world! It was a perfect gift for our perfect Mum!

Thank you LJ Leisure for a fabulous weekend in London. We will definitely use your company again very soon and we will be recommending you to everyone that will listen

Dear Lesley
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday in Sharm and would like to add that all the arrangements LJ Leisure had made for us were spot on and everything arranged was great. The hotel was very good and spotlessly clean and the food good and something everyone could find to eat at all meal times and the waiters, cleaners and all staff were very helpful and obliging at all times. We will certainly be recommending LJ Leisure to all our friends and hope you get bookings in the future.

Hi Lesley
just a quick note with my feedback:
Really enjoyed the whole trip, great organisation , transfers etc went smoothly and I was really impressed with the turnaround in getting through passport control and retrieving my case from the hold both in Marrakech and in East Midlands
Fantastic day trip to Ourika Valley, well organised, lovely lunch and the guide was great that took us up to the waterfalls
Thought the hotel was good, great selection for breakfast- all staff very helpful
All in all we all really enjoyed the trip and would definitely do it again
Great to meet you and please keep me informed of other trips
Thanks

It was a fantastic trip. The tour guide although eccentric did her best to make the extremely long coach journey bearable, which was good. The coach trip was long but we had some good breaks within the journey.

As for the hotel and the days in Disney Land it will be a couple of days I won't be forgetting. I would definitely be looking at going again in 2/3 years time when the kids are a little older, if it was to be organised again.

I would say it's well worth doing again. It was a very good trip and the price was good.

Thanks a lot for the first class organisation - we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. We were home by 10 pm. We're looking forward to doing it all again sometime in the future. Veronica and I will certainly look at a week in Lake Garda (not actually in the lake !!) which we've not seen before and we both preferred it to Como which we have visited before. The only thing we're not missing is the regular shout of "Orr-reet" from you know who !!!
We were both massively impressed with Nick, your driver - what a star ! He's blessed with not just driving abilities but great patience with other road users and with his passengers.

I’ve been meaning to email you and pass on our thanks on behalf of everyone in our party for a fantastic trip to Monaco. You provided a first class service and the attention to detail was something larger companies appear to have forgotten.

The trip was fantastic from beginning to end and I would highly recommend to anyone but particularly families as the activities are so good for kids/teenagers.   The ice hotel is such a great experience, I wasn't cold once during the time at the Lake and the snow just made it all the more exciting.  If you could pass on my thanks to Marius that would be great as he was absolutely brilliant and could not do enough for us. I'll send some more pics in next mail.  Thanks again,

We just wanted to say thank you for another fantastic trip. We thought Pisa was a beautiful place and the hotel was in an ideal location for the station and the centre of Pisa.ย 

We also wanted to thank Chris. It was the first time we had met him and he was very friendly and helpful. We couldn't have managed without him the day the group went to Cinque Terre. His timetable for the trains was ideal and we had such a fantastic day.

Our only criticism is that we would have liked an extra day but maybe we are just greedy ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Lesley is so helpful and able to give an insight into how to make the most of our time. We enjoyed the initial bus tour of the main sights, the amazing evening visit to the top of the Reichstagg and the day in Potsdam.

 Just got home from Barcelona after a great weekend with Lesley and Finesse Travel / F1 Packages. Although we were a small group compared to their usual trips we all had a great time and everything was organised perfectly, including transfers to and from the track and a great hotel in the fantastic town of Sitges.
Even Ryanair couldn't ruin it - they cancelled my outbound flight but Lesley got me on an alternative at short notice from Liverpool to BCA the day after FC Barcelona played in Liverpool. Don't know how she managed that! 
I've done F1 with bigger companies but you don't get the passion for F1 from them like you do with Lesley. And sorting out the cheeky race day upgrade to Silver Hospitality was another magic trick. Oh and the bubbly to celebrate the win for Lewis went down a treat.
Already recommended to the guy sitting next to me on the plane home

Finesse Travel go the extra mile for customer satisfaction before during and after the holiday, This is certainly a 5 star team which warrants a 5 star recommendation.

 Had some fab holidays with Finesse Travel. Always well organised and informed. Small friendly group's and nice accommodation as well as being competitively priced. Most recent holiday was to Romania, was one of the best holidays I'd been on. Was looked after just as well in Romania by the tour company there. Can't wait for my next adventure.

 We have just returned from our latest Finesse Travel break to Lake Maggiore. Once again we were treated to excellent travel arrangements, an excellent hotel and carefully planned excursions.

To top all this we were accompanied by Terry an excellent representative who certainly knows how to make sure that everything promised is delivered and look after clients.

I have travelled with this company many times and will do so in the future as they provide great value breaks with the personal touch.

Why not book your break now on the Finesse Travel website.

 My hubby and I have recently returned from another great trip to see the F1 at Monza plus time at Lake Como. Lesley really does go the extra mile to make any holiday one to remember. Nothing is too much trouble for her. She makes sure everyone is ok and has what they need. The hotel was great, in a wonderful, central location and provided all we needed for a good week's break. This is our 3rd holiday with Lesley and Finesse Travel and it won't be our last either. Would I recommend Finesse Travel - absolutely !

We have just returned from our first Finesse Travel break to Sardinia , and had a fantastic time. Travel arrangements were very well organised , hotel was excellent all excursions were carefully planned. Of course we had an excellent representative Lesley who made sure we were well looked after and excursions were very well organised. I had a trip coming off the ferry in Corsica and broke my sandal. Lesley asssited without hesitation and directed me to a shop to buy a pair of flip flops. Lesley made sure all her clients in the group were well looked after and organised a few get togethers which made the trip thoroughly enjoyable.

This is my first time travelling with Finesse travel , I will certainly travel with them again .They provide a great selection of breaks , very good value for money, with the added bonus of the personal touch. Roll on the next trip .

I would definitinely recommend anyone to look at the website and book a trip you wont be disappointed.

 Hi Lesley 

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for organising an amazing holiday to Budapest and the Grand Prix.

Review below:-

After being postponed for two years due to covid and our original flights cancelled we finally had an amazing trip to Budapest and the Hungarian Grand Prix.

This was our first trip with finesse travel and it was very well organised, Lesley  organised everything for us.   Our whole trip was very well planned from beginning to end.     The hotel was well located and included breakfast.    Lesley kept us well advised of our trip and was always around to deal with our questions whilst away.  The group we  travelled with were all very friendly Lesley was always around to check that we were all ok.   If you wanted to stay with the group you could or you can explore on your own Lesley gave us some good tips on places to visit and where to eat.

Transport to and from the Grand Prix was well organised and we thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, it’s only a shame that it rained.

I would recommend Lesley and finesse travel, she goes out of her way to help everybody and makes sure that we all had a great time.    Looking forward to booking another Grand Prix trip with her.

Thank you

Diana and Alan

 I booked with finesse travel for the Hungarian grand prix this year, it was my first solo travel experience and it was fantastic. It is actually my job to manage service levels and I can hand on heart say that Lesley delivered a level of service (that unfortunately) is very rare in this day and age.  Highly recommended and... thank you Lesley

We have just returned from the wonderful 8-day ‘Stunning Sardinia Tour’, enjoying glorious weather in a beautiful location. Our hotel the Excelsior, at the centre of La Maddalena, was modern and comfortable; the staff were friendly and breakfast was very good. There are many bars, shops and places to eat nearby.  

The day we spent cruising the islands of the archipelago was a real favourite; island-hopping, enjoying the beaches and the turquoise waters. Lunch on-board was delicious!

The excursion to beautiful Corsica was also not to be missed. Beyond the white cliffs of Bonifacio, a little road train took us up to the narrow street of the town centre, ancient buildings and fantastic views. A big thank you to Pauline who planned and negotiated this trip and the archipelago cruise.

 

We also enjoyed a full day to Palau and Santa Teresa (Sardinia), with Lesley. On days when we were in La Maddalena, we took the Panoramica bus to quiet beaches on the island; Tegge beach is walkable and there is a very good café nearby.

 

This holiday was a perfect way to enjoy the Emerald Coast with our excellent tour managers and like-minded travellers. Thank you Pauline and Lesley for planning carefully and taking good care of us. We had a lot of fun!

 Just returned from a four night opera trip to Verona with Finesse Travel.  This was my second trip with Lesley Jarvis, the first being a three night break to Venice earlier this year.  

 
I had an absolutely fantastic time,  and to say Lesley goes the extra mile is a gross understatement.  The booking and pre departure communication and support was excellent and all the arrangements, information, suggestions and support given throughout the holiday was brilliant.  Like myself, there were several other people travelling alone, and Lesley went out of her way to make sure everyone was happy, providing an appropriate level support in each case.   Our trip to the Opera was amazing, but an added bonus was the day out at Lake Garda arranged locally by her was absolutely fabulous.  

 

 

Finesse Travel provide a wide range of holiday experiences and I have no hesitation in recommending them for anyone, be they travelling as families,  small groups or individuals.   In fact, my third trip is already booked and I’m sure there’ll be many more to follow!

 'We have recently returned from Finesse Travel’s Malaga Christmas Lights break and have nothing but praise for every aspect of our stay. The hotel was perfect, right next to Plaza de la Constitucion, clean, comfortable room, friendly staff and all the usual breakfast options ranging from cooked food  to fresh fruit and cereals. Perfectly located and right by the impressive Christmas lights which we saw switched on. We went on two excursions, both of which were well organised, with plenty of free time to wander. In particular we must mention  Maria of ‘Get Your Guide’ she was happy to recommend places to eat and take in the views and at Setenil even took us to a superb little Deli/café for local cheese and ‘orange wine’. Malaga is a city with great food and wine, shopping, museums, monuments and galleries. There will always be surprises and you can never see it all. Thanks Lesley and Finesse for a super time.

Hello Lesley,

 

A quick email to 'formally' say thank you for all your hard work in organising the trip to Graz.

We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great time experiencing Graz as well as the F1 race itself.

We appreciate all the hard work that goes on in the background and hope you have some 'smoother' tours in the coming weeks.....!

We look forward to booking with you again very soon, but in the meantime thank you once again and enjoy Silverstone.

Best wishes,

Mick & Terese
