My Reviews
Five star service from Philip at Holidays Beckon. From the many questions along the planning stage and right throughout the whole booking process, his service is outstanding. I can’t recommend Holidays Beckon highly enough. Book your next trip through Philip. You won’t regret it. !!
Philip organised our trip to Hong Kong for a group of 4 adults traveling from 2 different Australia cities to Hong Kong.
The organisation was perfect, we all arrived in HKG within 40 minutes of each other and had rooms next to each other in the Kowloon Hotel. Perfectly located around the corner from Nathan Road Shopping district. Philip was so professional and managed to look after all our needs and requirements for our short trip.
On a side note, the Hong Kong protesters were a concern before we left and Philip managed to find out about cancellations if it needed to come to it, but it didn’t and we had no problems at all during our stay.
I would highly recommend Philip to book any further holiday needs and would trust Philip to do any holiday bookings for anywhere in the world.
Thankyou Philip for organising our Darwin holiday. Philip was professional, friendly, informative, happy to answer any of my questions, no matter how silly…and explained anything I didn’t quite understand.Very satisfied with the service from Holidays Beckon
Had a great holiday, everything went smoothly. The way you know you have a great travel agent is when you don’t have to talk to them after the arrangements are made, because everything was organised so well.
