“Ticked Every Box”

★★★★★

written by on 14/07/2014

We wanted a family holiday for 4 adults with very different ideas about what makes a good holiday. Husband and 18 year old daughter like to be busy sight seeing and doing things. Other 16 year old daughter is permanently attached to her phone or iPod or watching DVDs so takes a lot to get her attention and I like to relax on a beach or by a pool in a reasonably luxurious setting.

The Kuoni agent in the Manchester store listened to our various ideas and made suggestions coming up with quotes on different options which she was happy to tweak and adjust. We went away with brochures to firm up our thoughts and via email and phone we were quoted a fantastic package covering our requirements.

We started in Hong Kong,in a fabulous hotel with harbour views, and visited many of the sights we had on our list with the help of the local Kuoni rep. We were there for 3 nights but could easily have filled another couple of days. We then flew to Sri Lanka for 8 nights.

We had a driver and mini van and toured around spending 1 or 2 nights at pre booked hotels visiting places of interest and enjoying the very varied aspects of the island from jungle to safari to tea plantations. We had a fantastic selection of hotels and locations which were well planned by Kuoni. Our driver had in depth knowledge of the islands flora and fauna,frequently stopping to point out things of interest, and he accompanied us at the various temples and historic sights giving us a lot of detail. His driving was superb in some very difficult traffic conditions negotiating Tuk Tuks and aggressive bus drivers!

We then flew to the Maldives for 6 nights on Meeru. We were all happy to relax after a very full but enjoyable time in Sri Lanka. There was snorkelling, a golf range, tennis, badminton and many other activities for those who wanted to do things and a beautiful beach and spa for the less energetic.

The choice of hotels, our flights and transfers and the Kuoni reps throughout our holiday were excellent. There was no aspect we would fault and felt the holiday was very good value.

Kuoni put together the most wonderful holiday for us and we will definitely use them again.
