Trailfinders

Trailfinders is a great travel agent. We went round several travel agents before booking our honeymoon as we wanted to be sure we got the best one. Trailfinders really stood out — they were friendly and helpful and were able to give us a lot of information, but did not try to force us into booking as some others did. So of course we booked with Trailfinders.
The girl Christina who we booked with was fantastic, such a nice girl who was able to talk about her own personal experiences of travel as well as give us all the information we needed to choose where to go, where to stay, and so on. The whole booking process went so smoothly and our documents are all very clear.
Something else that was great about Trailfinders was that we were able to set up a wedding gift list with them so that people could go on to the website or call them and contribute towards our honeymoon — perfect for when you’re getting married but already live together. They do gift lists for many occasions, not just weddings.
If you’re thinking of booking a trip, I recommend Trailfinders. I had thought it might be expensive but am really happy with the package we got and it cost a lot less than I thought it would. Would book with them again!

Trailfinders Belfast provided us with a brilliant service. Our consultant was Christina. We would normally book our own holidays independently online but in this case had decided to use a travel agent as we were booking a trip involving a number of different connecting flights and locations and we just didn’t want the hassle of anything going wrong and being left to sort it ourselves. The initial booking process was great and completely unpressurised. Advice was proffered where we asked for it and Christina worked within our budget, even managing to save us a packet by getting us to hold off until flights on our route were released from Dublin so we could compare. Prior to booking, I priced the trip with the same dates and exact same hotels through Virgin Holidays and it came in £800 more expensive… To book myself online it was less than £100 cheaper with none of the security — I checked out of curiously. About 2 months after booking we were very relieved we had used Trailfinders as British Airways canned our outward flight and bumped us into another from a different UK airport which would have shaved almost a full day off our holiday. Trailfinders sorted it all out for us while keeping us informed and got us completely moved onto Virgin Atlantic instead — we even got a free upgrade. I was very impressed. There were another number of minor flight time changes with our internal US flights and each time Trailfinders sorted it all, updating hotel transfers and any knock on effects without us having to be involved. No stress for us! The holiday itself all went to plan, we received what paper documentation we needed in the post in good time and Christina gave us good advice on what flights we checked in for online etc too. She was great and I would not hesitate to use Trailfinders again. Thanks!

If you’re not familiar with the concept of Trailfinders I am going to sum it up for you in a few short sentences. If you couldn’t be bothered doing the ground work yourself then this place is right up your street. All you have to do is explain your desired destination, advise the staff of your budget and they will research the logistics of your trip and help you plan your dream holiday.
The staff are friendly, patient and have all the information at their fingertips. If you don’t have any concrete ideas on what your dream holiday is the staff are willing to share their own personal experiences, which can help you, imagine your own getaway.
I have used this service several times. They helped me plan my honeymoon as well as my next adventure. The staff helped us get a really good deal and I would recommend visiting the office on Fountain Street, if your wife won’t stop talking to the travel agent why not call next door and get a sandwich — kill two birds with one stone.

Superb travel shop. We booked our honeymoon to Peru and Bolivia through these guys and had the best time possible. They are able to offer a good deal more than most other travel agents, specialising in more off beat and exotic places. This is suggested in the name I guess. We booked flights and our 3 week tour all from one appointment. They got the best prices available and went to great lengths to ensure we got the best deals on everything. Since they deal with generally more far flung and exotic places this all seems a bit more demanding, but they pull it off and don’t let you down. Also as the trip involved using different facilities and tour operators while away they gave us all the information we needed and informed us straight away of any changes. It all made for the trip of a lifetime.

Trail Finders, or Travel Finders as I have called it since I called in some time last year is a more recent addition to the slew of Thomson and Thomas Cook stores dotted across the city.
It was bargain hunting as usual for cheap flights and accommodation in New York. We were planning on travelling in February and were thus hoping for a cheap trip, something sub-​500 squids each. In the end a deal at Thomson in the city centre proved the worthy winner, with direct flights from Belfast to Newark and three nights in a superb hotel.
This little store tried its best even to track down the cheap flight end of things but alas we came up a little short. We were looking at around £320 for flights alone whereas the whole thing worked out at £420 each for the hotel as well.
Friendly staff though and it was a pleasant experience. The guy who helped us was, as is often said, ‘sound as a pound’.
