First Class Service

I have been using the Helensburgh shop for years for trips all over the world and everyone has been a great success. The knowledge of the staff is excellent and they manage problems expertly. On our last trip our disembarkation port from a cruise was changed to a completely different country thousands of miles apart, within hours flights had been arranged to Dubai and our flight home rearranged and paid for by Stewart Travel insurance. That is really first class service.

Outstanding Service

This was our first time using Stewart Travel and it certainly wont be the last. Dougie was such a blessing - his knowledge is second to none, his customer service, attention to detail, promptness, courteousness, professionalism and ability to plan is superlative. He is the most responsive travel agent I have ever worked with (by far), no matter what obstacle we put in his way nothing was ever too much trouble. Dougie went above and beyond and made every part of the choosing and booking process 100% stress free. I would highly recommend Stewart Travel.

Discovery princess cruise . We went to the branch at Ayr and…di

We went to the branch at Ayr and Jocelyn dealt with us exceptionally booking flights cruise and all taxi transfers in LA and a two night stay at a hotel. All went great and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Jocelyn also informed us of a last minute change of itinerary due to an environmental issue in Northern California . The only downside was the utter chaos at LA port owing to disembarking and embarking passengers mixing.at the port.The welcome aboard the ship was very poor and almost non existent this was entirely the responsibility of Princess cruises . Once the ship sailed we got the experience we had hoped. We will certainly be using Stewart travel again

Excellent service

Excellent service. Sam answered all our queries promptly, and our trip went well. (Baltic Tour plus train/ferry/hotels going and coming.) Minor concern that we only received our documents about ten days before we left. However, we understand the delays involved, and were advised about them by Sam. Thanks!

MyCanada Trip September

Overall the agent who worked with us booked good hotels and excisions for us, the Air Canada Flights were a disappointing, we were not made aware that the tickets were SBY, ie stand by and that meant if the plane was overbooked this could have kick us off. This travel agent did not mentioned this at the time of booking and we ended struggling when we tried to book seats so we could seat together, in-fact we could not do this, we were just allocated what was left at the gate. Air Canada said its down to your agent. BTW do not fly Air Canada, worest carrier I have flow over 35 years.

Safe Hands Holidays with Stewart Travel …

Having used Stewart travel for many years I know my holiday plans are in safe hands with Jayne in the Paisley branch. She always takes interest in the travelers requirements and ensures that the holiday is matched. Jet 2 let me down this time with a four hour flight delay which resulted in not getting to my hotel till 4am (no fault of Stewart Travel)

Date of experience : 19 June 2023

Another successful holiday …

Have booked many holidays with Stewart Travel in Prestwick, and have nothing but praise for this branch. They take the stress out of travel by doing everything for me, which I truly appreciate as I get older and find online things difficult to navigate. Every member of staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I wouldn't use anywhere else.

Hi Fiona, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are thrilled you have nothing but praise for our Prestwick team! We hope you have an excellent holiday, and see you in store soon! Kind regards, Ruth Stewart Travel

Just back from a cruise re-organised by the lovely Ashley at Stewart Travel Paisley. From getting all the paperwork in order of when needed for flights/transfers/hotel/shuttle bus and overall cruise itinerary, it took the stressfulness away from travelling overseas again. Will definitely recommend and be back for more of the above. Thank You Ashley, you are a star.

Hi Kathleen, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are thrilled Ashley from our Paisley store took away all the stress from your cruise. We hope to see you in store soon! Kind regards, Ruth Stewart Travel

I have been using Stewart Travel for years

I have been using Stewart Travel Kilmarnock for a good number of years now. In the past I have booked my holidays myself, booking flights and hotel separately, but having used Stewart Travel, (Claire Cornelius), I would not go back to doing this. The comfort, ease, and cost of using Stewart Travel, greatly out way trying to do this yourself. Lynda Ross and team are doing a sterling job. Keep doing, what you are doing well. Alan Urquhart.

Hi Alan, Thank you for reviewing our Kilmarnock team. We are thrilled Claire, Lynda and the team have made your holiday booking experience comfortable and easy! We hope to see you in store soon. Kind regards, Ruth Stewart Travel

Never use this company

We had a holiday booked through Stewart Travel for July 2020. Because of lockdown we couldn't go and I lost my deposit. I had another holiday that year through Jet2 and we got our money back. We go on holiday 3 to 4 times a year, I will NEVER use your services. Infact I must put this on social media and trip advisor. I would NEVER put trust in you again. Get Outlook for Android

Date of experience : 28 November 2022

Hi there, I am the Director of Retail for Stewart Travel and I would really appreciate if I could give you a call regarding your booking as this is certainly not the level of service I would expect from the staff. Or, please feel free to give me a call on 01292 288099. Kind regards Linda Boyd

We've been using Stewart Travel for many years.…

We've been using Stewart Travel Prestwick for several years and always found them to be very helpful pre holiday, on holiday, or post holiday. If you need to contact them they are there. We go back, and have no problems to recommend them. They have our confidence. Says it all.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
