Europamundo

Good - 3,005 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

Comfortable buses, mostly nice hotels with good Breakfast. Staff and other passengers are great and helpfyl because of my mobility issues. Felt rushed through but covered a lot with good descriptions.

Was really fun. We had the best weather.

Excellent - 873 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

This trip is very nice and Jon very helpful Ginder we will come again everything clearly and good understanding

The driver, Billy, and tour director, Speedy, made the trip very interesting and informative. They were both very helpful. We were disappointed that some of the hotel didn’t really cater for the older tourist with rooms a fair distance from reception, climbing stairs and dragging our luggage.

Expat Explore Travel

Excellent - 4,261 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

I really enjoyed the tour. It gave me a taste of a number of countries. Tour guide was enthusiastic and knowlegeable. Felt safe with the driver at all times. Driver and tour guide worked together well.

Communication is way below standard. Not enough time at most of the stops, way to much time on bus, accommodations were ok, food excellent I disliked that additional tour had to be paid in cash in that country’s currency. Not being properly informed before of that additional cost. I would have preferred to have pick extra tours and had them charged to my account before I ever began the trip. Bus driver was excellent. Your guide was ok. But the most important issue was the lack of communication from Expat Explorer Will not travel with them again

Excellent - 1,893 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

Fine tour with a lot of nice people from almost all over the world. To us it was a disappointment that the optional tour in Edinburgh with Johnnie Walker experts, advertised in the program, wasn’t available.

Well organized and well executed tour.

Insight Vacations

Excellent - 632 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

My first Insight Tour and it was amazing. Scenic tour of the beautiful countryside, towns, and historic sites of England, Scotland, Wales, and Republic of Ireland. Our Travel Director, Greg, was very professional, knowledgeable of the history, culture, food, music, and local 'celebrities'. Greg and our driver (Arthur - the best) worked together as a team, making our trip enjoyable, memorable, and fun. Always courteous, respectful, and conscientious of our time, safety, and well-being. Good job!

What a wonderful way to experience my first tour. This 13 day highlight of the best that Britain an Ireland have to offer was full of amazing opportunities to taste the culture and meet locals that lovel and adore their country and the history that holds. Greg our tour guide was exceptionally in his organisation, knowledge and commitment to ensuring that we enjoyed our trip. His attention to details and the extras to make the group feel welcomed and special. My personal experience on my special day was made even more heart warming by Greg's kindness and effort in make sure that I felt loved and acknowledge with an celebration at the evening meal. Arthur our driver was amazing and his experience in driving showed in the professionalism he demonstrated in through the entire 13 days. Overall i would throughly recommend this trip to anyone especially if they are blessed with Greg and Arthur.

Excellent - 19,645 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

Good adventure through Ireland, saw all the spots you hear about. Wish there was more time at some locations, but overall very good

Not really my type of holiday travel! The stops are short and mainly at freeway truck and rest stops. The hotels were way too far from any real sites and some were small and cramped. I expected this tour to be hectic, given the countries visited and the days involved, . but IMO it could have been organized a lot better. The Tour Director and Driver were excellent but working with hands tied behind her back.The driven tours by coach just went too fast apart from road blocks or traffic jams. I appreciate that the TD kept mentioning that there are other tours by Cosmos, Globes that are lconcentrated on longer stays, however if they are at the hotels that we stayed at, then seeing the good sights are going to be a massive struggle. IMHO, even if the costs are higher for better hotels and safer areas, most would rather pay than skimp. Most of the stops overnight did not even have any decent restaurants where one could experience a decent meal of the region. Yes there were a couple of organized option dinners that involved costs, but these had to be reached via the coach. The three included meals are at the hotels which really did not have kitchens other than ones that could prepare breakfasts and the meals were simple and buffet style with one fixed item being served. As I started it may be OK for some, but definitely not my cup for tea!

MacBackpackers

Excellent - 2,537 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

I recently embarked on the 3-day Isle of Skye tour with MacBackpackers, and let me tell you, it was an experience beyond words! From the breathtaking landscapes to the cozy accommodations, every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. However, what truly made this journey unforgettable was our incredible tour guide, Branka. From the moment we set off, Branka's infectious energy and enthusiasm set the tone for the entire trip. Her passion for Scotland's history and folklore was palpable, and she had a knack for bringing every story to life with her witty humor and engaging storytelling. Branka wasn't just a guide; she was a magician, effortlessly weaving together tales of ancient clans, mythical creatures, and historic battles. Her knowledge of the local area was unparalleled, and she delighted us with fascinating facts and hidden gems at every turn. Whether we were exploring the mystical fairy pools, wandering through cute villages, or marveling at beautiful mountains, Branka's insights added depth and meaning to the adventures. In short, if you're planning a trip to the Isle of Skye, do yourself a favor and book with MacBackpackers, and pray that Branka is your guide. Her combination of humor, knowledge, and genuine passion for Scotland will elevate your experience from great to unforgettable. Thank you Branka, for letting me share the front seat, and being the highlight of an already incredible journey!

I was recommended this tour by a friend and am so glad I went. Neil was an amazing tour guide, who had so many stories and knew so much about Scotland. Because we were a smaller group we got options about what we wanted to do each day. The hikes were amazing and I feel like we got to see much more of the island than we would have on the three day tour. If you are considering this tour I would highly recommend.

Irish Experience Tours

Excellent - 260 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable adventure through the enchanting landscapes of Ireland, look no further than Irish Experience Tours. Our journey on their 10-day Wild Irish Tour was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we embarked on our adventure, it was evident that we were in the hands of true Irish aficionados. Led by the exceptional tour guide, Lee, every aspect of our experience was meticulously curated to perfection. Lee's warmth, hospitality, and genuine passion for sharing the beauty of his homeland made our journey an absolute delight. A special mention must be made of Lee's thoughtful gesture in charting out our route on the map we purchased. This simple yet meaningful gesture serves as a cherished memento of a holiday well-travelled, preserving the memories of our incredible journey for years to come. We wholeheartedly recommend Irish Experience Tours to anyone seeking an authentic, immersive, and unforgettable exploration of Ireland. Thank you, Lee, and the entire team, for creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. I cannot wait to embark on another adventure with Irish Experience Tours in the future! Cheers Nicki & Rob

The itenary was paced very well. It gave us the opportunity to see many sites without feeling overwhelming or rushed. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated that Anthony listened to the groups' interests, expectations, and limitations. He created a very comfortable group setting.

Intrepid Travel

Excellent - 11,705 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

Intrepid needs to tighten up this tour. Two free afternoons is too much when one has only three days on the island. Either make the tour two full days or two full days with one full day free to make plans to go to Hoy or Rousay. Give people guidance on what to do on the free day.

I recently traveled with a friend to Scotland. We included a week long tour with Intrepid, booked through Tour Radar. We paid a very healthy sum for the tour, $3,460 each. The description said the trip was appropriate for ages 15-99. It also described two nights in Portree on Isle of Skye with a private van tour on the full day on Isle of Sky. My friend and I chose this tour because of the time spent in Portree and on Isle of Skye, the small group size, and that if it was okay for ages 15-99 then I’d be fine six months post a major knee surgery. What wasn’t included in the description and what happened: -No where did it say that we’d be expected to walk/transport our luggage on foot from Points of transportation to our lodging ranging from 10-20 minutes. My 94 year old father-in-law lives with us and is able bodied, but there’s no way he could have done these distances While also carrying/pulling luggage. My 87 year old mother could not accomplish this either. I could do it with my recovering knee, but I was slower and it also used up some of the energy I needed for enjoying walking portions of the tour. I didn’t anticipate having to schlep my suitcase for 15 minutes at a time over uneven sidewalks, etc. I would have packed differently had I known or we would have looked for a different tour. -My friend and I still wonder why Fort Williams was included on the itinerary as a place to stay? The only thing Intrepid provided was a walk to a castle that wasn’t open for visitors. The rest was on our own and there really wasn’t much happening other than a nice, little museum. We would have preferred more time on Isle of Skye. -We were notified prior to departure that our time on Isle of Skye would be at Kyleakin - not in Portree- and we’d have to arrange our own tour. Phone numbers were provided but no one on the tour had any luck booking anything prior to arriving, calls not returned, no availability, etc. So, 3-4 of our tour group spent 2 FULL hours or more on their phones while we were in Fort Williams trying to come up with some options for us. They pieced together a public bus ride to/from Kyleakin to Portree and a private taxi tour at our own expense! (After paying for it in the cost of our tour.) This should have been done by Intrepid!! Not once were we offered reimbursement. We didn’t have any time in Portree. We’d hoped to have lunch before our taxi tour, but all the restaurants were full. I found a to-go cup of tea and scone at a bike shop, then time in cue to use a bathroom. I’d looked forward to staying in Portree and had many places I had planned to walk to when not on the private van tour we were sold but didn’t get. Also, While staying in Kyleakin, the guest house did not provide a cooked breakfast, just light snacks in our rooms. Breakfast was provided, but we had to walk to/from the restaurant that was a mile each way. This used up time we could have been site seeing. Also, it would use up my knee energy for the days site-seeing. My friend went to breakfast but I skipped the walk to reserve my energy for site-seeing. Oh, and the whiskey tasting…we passed distilleries but we Were given a private lesson on tasting with our tour guide. While he did a fine job, the setting was not the same as a distillery setting. The room was bare, we used wine glasses, we were Supposed to take notes but no hard surfaces to write on, etc. Just wasn’t what any of us were expecting. I found Intrepid’s disregard for the changes and the misleading descriptions as to be very unprofessional. I use tours so that I don’t have to do all of the arranging. Why pay you if I’m going to have to do it myself? Next time I book a tour, I’ll be sure to avoid Intrepid. Many friends have asked about my trip. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the tour. I’ve shared that multiple times now. I’m not the only member of the group that walked away Disappointed. We didn’t want to “blame” the tour guide, I don’t think he was responsible, he was just trying to keep us happy as he could sense how displeased we were. His answers too our questions were not satisfying at all. He seemed to be trying to cover for the company best he could.

Wild N' Happy

Excellent - 180 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours

This tour was so good! We experienced more of Ireland than the itinerary indicated (because of stops we made along our journey, which I loved!), but never felt rushed. Our guide Diarmuid is such a professional - he provided us with interesting information about the places we stopped and Ireland in general, kept us on schedule with a relaxed demeanor, and is genuinely a very nice person. I've never traveled with a tour group before and this one couldn't have been any better. The Emerald Isle is so beautiful and everyone is so friendly that, even when there was a bit of rain, it was still fun. Many thanks to Mick and Diarmuid (the best!!) for making this a most memorable trip. PS the accommodations were fantastic - especially the breakfasts!

Incredible trip. Very well planned. Helpful and accommodations where spectacular. Don't worry about luggage!

A new survey of more than 8,000 UK travellers has ranked the best and worst package holiday providers in the UK.

Topping the list by from consumer champions Which ? Travel were budget breaks specialist Jet2 Holidays and global tour operator Kuoni.

Operators at the bottom of the pack included Best At Travel and flight and hotel provider eDreams, both criticised by respondents for poor service.

The survey of 8,361 UK adults was conducted in September 2022, with respondents asked about holidays taken since September 2019. Which? analysts then contrasted each operator’s ratings with their average price per day, based on both short haul and long haul holidays.

Along with Jet2 Holidays and Kuoni, long-established tour operator Trailfinders, ski and Lapland specialist Inghams and the UK’s largest independent travel agent, Hays Travel, also made the top five.

Jet2 and Kuoni received a customer satisfaction score of 84 per cent, while Trailfinders scored 82 per cent, Ingham’s 81 and Hays Travel 80 per cent.

Virgin Holidays was sixth on the list, also scoring 80 per cent, while British Airways Holidays was 13th, scoring 75 per cent. EasyJet holidays was ranked 19th of the 25 operators reviewed, scoring 73 per cent.

Online provider eDreams came bottom of the 25 operators ranked, receiving just two stars for how their holidays matched up with what was advertised. Despite being the cheapest in the survey, said Which? , the online agent scored just three out of five stars for value for money.

Best At Travel fell short on customer service and product description matching reality according to those surveyed, although it achieved an overall satisfaction score of 64 per cent.

Tui, despite having a similar offering to Jet2, was ranked 17th on the list by Which? , with the same satisfaction score (74 per cent) as online travel agents Expedia and On the Beach.

Which? said respondents had rated the holiday companies on criteria including the standard of customer service they received, how well descriptions of the holiday matched the reality, how well their trip was organised and value for money.

Praise for Jet2holidays included passengers saying, “you don’t feel like you’re just one of a herd”.

Several respondents said they were repeat customers of the firm owing to its reliability and consistently high levels of service, with one traveller remarking they “always” use Jet2 and they’ve “never been let down”.

Kuoni attracted similarly glowing comments, with one traveller saying the firm was “prepared to work with us to get exactly the holiday we wanted”, and another adding: “nothing was too much trouble - they went the extra mile.”

An eDreams spokesperson said it offers “dynamic packages” selected by the user rather than curated by the provider, so it was “not accurate” to compare it to “other companies that specialise in a more traditional package holiday offering”.

Meanwhile, a Tui spokesperson said: “This tiny survey isn’t at all reflective of the feedback we receive from our customers who enjoy holidaying with us every year”.

The UK’s best and worst holiday providers, according to Which?:

Jet2 Holidays / Kuoni (84 per cent satisfaction)
Trailfinders (82 per cent)
Inghams (81 per cent)

Zicasso in the News

Aeneas' Travel Agency

Based on 8 reviews

Destinations:

Verified review.

Zicasso’s tour operator was nothing short of exceptional to work with. From the early stages of planning, communication was seamless. The lovely travel planner helped plan the most magical trip. Every accommodation was out of this world, the meals were amazing, and the itinerary was outstanding. We traveled with two babies and they helped plan a wonderful, magical trip. We enjoyed Scotland so much and are looking forward to traveling there again with the same travel company! They even planned a sweet surprise for my four-year-old’s birthday that was so special for her. We were just so pleased with everything.

The trip was wonderful. Our Zicasso tour operator was great and really responsive during the trip. I loved the app, which made everything so much easier and clearer, and having everything in one place on our phones was so nice.

Mario's Travel Agency

Based on 482 reviews

We loved finally seeing Italy (at least parts of it) and would love to see more. The time change and jet lag were a little rough on our two kids, but they adjusted and had a great trip. The history in Rome was so impressive and we learned a lot. The guided tours were excellent. Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast were beautiful and a nice change of pace from Rome. We also loved visiting Pompeii. Of course, there was great food, wine, and lots of gelato. Though the weather is fickle, spring seems to be a great time to visit as it isn't crowded like the summer and definitely not hot. Private or small group guided tours are the way to go to smoothly see sites and be educated. It was lovely taking the train to Naples as well. The only big change I think we would make is passing on the winery near Vesuvius. It was great to check out an Italian winery, but not this one. They kept us waiting a long time for a tour and lunch. The tour was lame and short, lunch was just ok, and the wine was mediocre. However, one bright spot was that the estate made red wine vinegar, which was delicious, and we were able to buy a few bottles. Working with Zicasso’s tour company was a pleasure. Our travel agent really paid attention to what we were looking to do and our family style, and she arranged a great itinerary. The hotel choices were really nice and perfect for our needs. There were a couple of scheduling hiccups on the trip and the tour company’s responsiveness and efforts to help were fantastic.

Jane's Travel Agency

Based on 7 reviews

Our trip, starting and ending in Edinburgh and looping through the Highlands with an emphasis on the Isle of Skye, Inverness, and Speyside, was very enjoyable, much to the credit of our travel agency. We were awed by the sheer beauty of the Highlands, the warmth and friendliness of the Scottish people, and the country's fascinating historical sites. Our culinary experience was outstanding, with a variety of traditional dishes and contemporary cuisine prepared by world-class chefs. As could be expected, distillery visits gave us an opportunity to enjoy a range of whiskey flavors and styles. Jane, the owner of the travel agency, was accommodating in creating the ideal itinerary, finding superb lodging and dining experiences for us, and helping us through last-minute bookings due to a flight cancellation. Our driver/guide was personable, knowledgeable, timely, and professional. He entertained us with amusing Scottish lore, local and regional information, and eagerly adjusted the itinerary as needed to suit our personal tastes and interests.

Neil's Travel Agency

Based on 49 reviews

The trip was wonderful and the support from the travel agency was unstinting. From the first day, they were quickly responsive and continually exceeded our expectations. We had no hiccups along the way, so we didn't need to call on them during the trip, but I am confident they would have sorted any issue that arose. Their reputation was reinforced by our guide in Bath, who said they were a great company to work with and emphasized that anybody who "picked up the phone" would provide the high level of service we'd experienced.

Tom's Travel Agency

Based on 140 reviews

We absolutely loved working with Zicasso’s travel agents. They offered some great experiences and accommodations that I would have never considered, and did it all within our budget. We can't wait to go back to Ireland or make our first trip to Scotland, and I will definitely be calling Zicasso’s company for the next trip!

Jeff's Travel Agency

Based on 53 reviews

On this amazing planet, one can find an abundance of places with spectacular scenery. Scotland is one of those. However, what you can’t find is our travel team. Had it not been for their professionalism and expertise, we would have probably buzzed along in our own car, going ooh and ah, and missing all the wonderful spots that made our trip so memorable. In the planning, Zicasso’s travel agent was always attentive and quick to respond with a suggestion or a nay or yay. Our travel agent was delightful company. She is a historian, geologist, and geographer, all rolled into one, with a great sense of humor. At one point we got stuck in an unprecedented weather event. Not to worry, our travel team was on it with an alternative, so we really didn’t miss much. But the icing on the cake is how much they care about their clients. It is obvious they love their country and want to share it with everyone. And they did, to the fullest and utmost extent!

Anne Marie's Travel Agency

Based on 131 reviews

Our anniversary trip to Scotland and Ireland, planned by Zicasso’s travel company, was unforgettable! Our travel agent was very easy to work with! She made several adjustments to our itinerary at our request and also to address some of the vendor's changes, such as one of our flights (originally from Inverness to Dublin) and one of our "in a local home, dinner and cooking lessons" (originally in Scotland). She was cognizant of my budget constraints and suggested I do some of the driving myself to reduce the cost of private drivers. Then, during our trip, little things like a wine and cheese board in our room upon our arrival in Edinburgh were very much appreciated! Also, when things didn't go as planned (flight delay from Aberdeen to Dublin), she was available (at 2am Pacific time) to help smooth out the bumps! Even the way our trip itinerary built up to a subtle crescendo with our stay in a castle made this a trip we will never forget!

Good hotel, well situated for tourist attractions. Breakfast buffet had a good deal of choice. The dinner was excellent. Our room was chilly, due to a problem with the air conditioning system we were told, but a portable heater was promptly provided. The only problem was that it was very difficult to contact the hotel and to book dates, since they were simply overwhelmed by the number of Travelzoo customers.

The holiday overall was great value for money,the hotel was nice also the food was good.The excursions need to be looked at as Penzance really wasn’t worth visiting.The biggest complaint was the interchange on the outward journey,we were told we would be on the feeder bus no more than one and a half hours it turned out to be over three hours, then there was another two and a half hours wait for the other buses to get there which again we were told the wait would be no more than an hour.The planning of this really needs to be better!!!!.

Really impressed with this company. Great booking process offering a better price than others and they were very quick to respond and clarify any questions I had via email. Where they really came into their own was with the after sales service. Unfortunately, BA cancelled one of my flights and re-booked me onto an earlier flight that was not logistically possible for me. Christy from Crystal Travel contacted me to let me know of the change and when I said that I would not be able to make the alternative that BA had offered, she was very helpful in supporting my request to cancel my flights and issue a refund. 5 Stars.

The agent Carolina was very helpful. She listened to my enquiries regarding e-ticket not being attached by previous agent whom I have contacted previously without any success. Carolina went extra miles to resolve the issue and was apologetic on behalf of the agency. I think this is very noble and very good customer service. Thank you very much.

I have received a good quality service from Justin. He’s so helpful and polite to me at the time of booking my ticket. He helped me to get a cheaper ticket with less waiting period at the airport and I have successfully reached the destination without any inconvenience and I’m very thankful to him.

My whole experience with travel Center was amazing from start to finish. Ruth was excellent very accommodating to all of our needs and wants.

Lauren from travel centre London was extremely helpful when booking our recent cruise. She was friendly at all times and communicated with us in a timely and efficient manner. I highly recommend her for anyone needing assistance with travel plans. Thankyou Lauren. We had the perfect holiday.

We had an amazing time in Singapore and at the Grand Prix. All the travel plans went smoothly and there were no problems at our destination. Travel Center staff were really helpful and very prompt in responding to any queries. We would use the service again. Many thanks to Oscar for all his hard work.

THE GLOBAL WORK & TRAVEL CO. REVIEWS

I found Global Work and Travel randomly one day on google and since I decided I wanted to go on an adventure they've been very helpful and supportive the whole way, from answering any and every question I had to booking everything for me and getting me a job interview. They are prompt and very good at checking in with you along your journey and letting you know they are there for you continuously. Thank you Global Work and Travel! I would recommend these guys!

Was very skeptical about booking with a company online I hadn’t really heard much about before but global work and travel were amazing! Would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking to travel with help along the way. I’m currently in Thailand volunteering with dogs and then off travelling for a month afterwards and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help from Julian and Millie! They were happy to help me through my journey and answer ALL of my questions!

A very good and helpful team, I had no real idea of what I was going to do when I went to Scotland until I found out about Global Work and Travel, they helped me set myself up with a job and a place to stay. All while having a fantastic team, some of the nicest people out there, would and have recomended this to others.

Top 10 Travel Agencies in the UK (2024)

The presence of many travel companies in the UK indicates the never-ending desire of people to move around the world.

Many business deals and sources of income are largely dependent on human travel. Even in a bid to make the best out of our vacations, we helplessly resort to travelling far distances. Such trips could be within and out of the UK.

On some of these occasions, you may be left with little or no clue on how to make such plans. The cost of transportation, modes of payment, means of accommodation, how to book reservations (hotels, tours, excursions, or cars), and general advice on your planned trip are some of the services travel companies offer.

Planning for trips on a tight schedule is risky, especially when you are unfamiliar with the travel processes and how to navigate through the city of your planned destination.

Top 5 Online Travel Agencies for Hotels in the UK

In recent years, online travel agents (OTAs) have become an increasingly popular way for travellers to book their accommodation. For hoteliers in the United Kingdom, partnering with an OTA can be a great way to reach a wider audience of potential guests.

What are OTAs?

An OTA is an online travel agency. OTAs are websites that allow customers to book hotels, flights, and other travel services. OTAs are a convenient way to compare prices and find the best deals on travel services for travellers. Simply select your dates, your travel destination and it will serve you with a list of different packages that you can book within the one domain.

OTAs have made booking travel extremely easy for the common traveller, and they’ve cut out the need for an in-person travel agent which can often result in bookings becoming more expensive.

Why are OTAs important for hoteliers?

There are many advantages that come with using your property management system to list on an online travel agency. With the right strategy, hoteliers can use an OTA to reach a larger audience, save on marketing and advertising expenses, get their business name out there, and they can utilise their promotional tools and resources. In other words, an OTA can be a powerful marketing tool for your hotel.

One of the main reasons why OTAs are essential for hoteliers is that they can help to fill rooms during low occupancy periods. This is especially beneficial for smaller hotels that may not have the same marketing reach as larger chains with bigger budgets. By listing rooms on an OTA, hoteliers can extend their reach to a larger audience, offer OTA specific deals and fill rooms that would otherwise go empty. This is especially helpful for hoteliers in the United Kingdom, where occupancy rates can fluctuate throughout the year.

Additionally, OTAs typically offer commission-based pricing, so hoteliers only pay for the rooms that are actually booked. This makes OTAs a cost-effective way to increase bookings during slow periods.

One of the benefits of using OTAs is that they can help drive traffic to your hotel website. Travellers who are browsing an online travel agency may become curious about your hotel and decide to visit your website to learn more about the services you offer. This is called the “billboard effect”. By driving traffic back to your hotel page, this can also help you secure more direct bookings and therefore, you won’t have to pay the OTAs commission fee.

Finally, OTAs can help you reach new markets. This is especially important if you are a hotelier in the United Kingdom who wants to attract international travellers that may be unfamiliar with your hotel otherwise.

Cons of using OTAs

There are a few drawbacks to using OTAs. Firstly, you will have to pay a commission fee to the OTA for each booking which can often be 15% or more. Secondly, you may have less control over your property’s listing on the OTA website . This can include photos, descriptions, and pricing. Finally, some travellers may be concerned about providing their credit card information to an OTA.

However, these drawbacks are outweighed by the benefits of using OTAs , which include increased bookings and revenue, convenience for travellers, and access to new markets. Therefore, we believe that hoteliers in the United Kingdom should definitely be using OTAs as part of their marketing strategy.

Booking.com

The top of our online travel agency list is Booking.com. Booking.com was founded in 1996 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is currently the world’s largest online travel company, with a portfolio that includes more than 28 million listings in over 200 countries and territories. Booking.com is not only a hub for accomodation, but they offer flights and car rentals too which can be booked together. With Booking.com hotels can manage their listings, rates, and availability in one place, as well as track guest reviews and messages.

Hotels are charged a commission rate of 15-20% of the total booking value for each reservation made through Booking.com. This is a standard commission rate for online travel agencies. However, hotels can negotiate this rate with Booking.com depending on their property type, location, and other factors.

Expedia was founded in 1996 as a division of Microsoft. It was spun off into a public company in 1999 and quickly became one of the largest online travel companies in the world. Expedia is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington and operates more than 75 localised websites for travellers around the globe.

Expedia is another well-known online travel agency that caters to travellers on a budget. Expedia Rewards members may take advantage of special offers like free hotel stays and airfare discounts. They also provide package deals that allow you to book a complete holiday, including transportation, flights, and accommodation, at a low price.

Expedia commission rates vary depending on the type of property and its location, but typically range from 12-20%.

TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor is the world’s largest travel site, with more than 435 million reviews and opinions of hotels, restaurants, attractions, and vacation rentals. It operates in 49 markets worldwide and reaches 340 million unique monthly visitors. For hoteliers, TripAdvisor offers a variety of listing options, as well as the ability to manage rates, availability, and reservations. Hoteliers are only charged when a traveller books their stay through TripAdvisor and the commission rate is typically around 15%, but can vary depending on the property type and location.

Agoda was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Singapore. It is a subsidiary of Booking Holdings, the world’s largest online travel company. Agoda is recognised for its outstanding customer care and rapid response times. They provide phone, email, and live chat support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can get assistance whenever you need it.

Agoda offers a variety of properties , from small independent hotels to large international chains. The commission rate is typically around 15%.

Formerly Ctrip.com, Trip.com is based in Shanghai, China and is currently the largest OTA in the country. With a large customer base in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen, and over 400 million members, Trip.com makes it easy to reach one of the fastest-growing populations in the world. English speaking 24/7 customer support is offered via email, phone or directly through their app to those who need it. This makes listing your property on this international OTA a breeze. Trip.com also has a unique partnership with Booking.com, which grants it access to its massive global portfolio.

Which OTA is the best for your hotel will depend on your specific needs and goals. However, all of the OTAs listed above are worth considering. If you are a hotelier in the United Kingdom, then we recommend choosing a PMS system that allows you to manage multiple OTA listings in one platform, so you can list on more and benefit from their viewership.

Fresh supplies of weapons from the US have begun to arrive in Ukraine but the process needs to speed up, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

Speaking alongside NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg at a joint news conference in Kyiv, the Ukrainian president said there had been "timely support for our army".

He added, however: "Today I don't see anything positive on this point yet.

"There are supplies - they have slightly begun. This process needs to be sped up."

A new $61bn (£48bn) US military aid package was finally signed into law last week after months of deadlock in the US House of Representatives.

Kyiv is hoping its critically low stocks of artillery shells will soon be replenished.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked "partners" as he said Ukraine is "making every effort" to use drones more effectively.

In addition to posting some pictures on X, the Ukrainian president said he wanted to thank people who train drone operators, as well as "our warriors for their efficiency".

He added: "I thank everyone involved in the production and those who ensure better protection of the Ukrainian skies through their work."

Ukrainian servicemen have been saying goodbye to their visiting partners at the railway station in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine.

The men were on a short break from frontline duty.

Russia's defence ministry says its forces have taken control of the village of Semenivka in the eastern Donetsk region.

Yesterday, the ministry announced the capture of another village, Novobakhmutivka.

Ocheretyne, also near by, has been a focal point of fighting in recent days.

Ukraine's top general, speaking yesterday, said fighting had intensified in the east of the country, with troops falling back in three areas.

Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russian troops had achieved "certain tactical successes" in the villages of Berdychi, Semenivka and Novomykhailivka.

Ukraine has confirmed that chatbots used by its security agencies on Telegram have been restored after being temporarily blocked.

We reported earlier (6.56am post) that Kyiv's security service described their blocking as "unreasonable".

Now, Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communication has said three affected bots, used by Ukraine's SBU security service, the GUR and digital ministry for the war effort, had been restored.

A Telegram spokesperson said they were "temporarily disabled due to a false positive but have since been reinstated".

The number of civilians killed or injured in Ukraine in March was 604, according to the UN, which has a human rights monitoring team in the country.

The figure is 20% higher than February's.

The UK defence ministry, highlighting the numbers in its daily intelligence update, said 57 children were reported killed in March, "double the previous month".

Their deaths have been "attributed directly to Russian use of aerial munitions", the MoD said.

Civilian deaths in general are attributed to "missile and aerial-munitions strikes throughout Ukraine and increased bombardment at the frontlines".

The UN's report highlights an increase in coordinated strikes on critical Ukrainian infrastructure, with 20 sites "destroyed or damaged".

In total, there have been 31,366 civilian casualties in Ukraine since 24 February 2022, the MoD said (including areas Russia is controlling).

Of those, 10,810 were killed and 20,556 were wounded.

We reported earlier in our big picture post (6.27am post) that Oleksandr Pivnenko, who commands Ukraine's National Guard, is not ruling out a Russian attempt to target Kharkiv - Ukraine's second-largest city.

Kharkiv has been the focus of recent air attacks.

The US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) thinktank assesses that the Russian military "lacks the forces necessary to seize the city".

But the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, has said the threat of an invasion is causing Ukraine to allocate additional resources to defend the city - weakening forces elsewhere.

The ISW said: "Syrskyi noted that Ukrainian forces have recently improved their positions near Synkivka (east of Kharkiv)."

The Russians' "combat effectiveness" can be questioned because of their "inability to seize Synkivka despite repeated mass infantry and mechanized assaults", the ISW said.

It went on: "ISW continues to assess that a potential future Russian offensive to seize Kharkiv City would be an extremely ambitious undertaking that would pose significant challenges to Russian forces, particularly since Russian forces will be facing better-equipped Ukrainian forces following the arrival of US military assistance."

Telegram has reportedly restored some blocked Ukrainian bots.

They include those of the security service and ministry of digital transformation, the Kyiv Post said on X.

As we reported earlier (6.56am post) the security service said Telegram had "unreasonably" blocked bots that "opposed Russia's military aggression against Ukraine".

Three men who are entrepreneurs in their day jobs have been assembling drones in a home kitchen in Kyiv.

Denys, Yaw and Eugene send the tiny aircraft on to the Ukrainian armed forces.

There is concern within the international community about the US supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine, North Korea has said.

As we report in our big picture post (6.27am post) Kyiv has used long-range ballistic missiles from the US against Russia twice this month, according to NBC News.

"The US has secretly supplied long-range missiles to Ukraine, sparking off uneasiness and concern of the international community," North Korea's defence ministry said.

"The US can never defeat the heroic Russian army and people with any latest weaponry or military support," it added, according to state news agency KCNA.

Professor Michael Clarke, Sky News's military analyst, has said North Korea is supplying weapons to Russia - facilitated by China.
