Direct Holidays Reviews
Newest Review: ... to put on your suitcase if you really want to! This is really the last contact you have with Direct Holidays as once you arrive at the airport you are in the hands of Thomas Cook. Why choose Direct Holidays? For me it really comes down to getting the best value I can for my money. Although that you may find a similar holiday a bit cheaper through one of the holiday finder websites, but I am reluctant to book through a tour operator I have never heard of - I guess I am a bit of a coward. I priced my holiday up on both Thomas Cook and First Choice - Direct Holidays was more than £100 cheaper and the flight times from First choice were hor... more

When it comes to booking holidays I can be really anal about the planning - my husband thinks I prefer the planning to the holiday!! I have used Direct Holidays several times over the years and have always found them to be completely professional and great value for money. I used them when I booked my holiday in November last year, which we went on in May and they are usually one of my first stops when looking for a holiday. They are owned by Thomas Cook, but seem to be run as an independent company. Finding your holiday - Brochure or Website? As I have booked with them several times now I am obviously a fixture on their mailing list and always get a ... Read the complete review

Never try and price match through this company!!! Even though it is an internet company it will NOT price match against any other internet company so when they say they have a 'price match guarantee'...... they don't.You can book the same holiday cheaper through HolidayHypemrmarket.co.uk or Beatthebrochure.co. Question it and the company comes back with all sorts of excuses...none of them relevant!

Over the years I've booked many summer holidays abroad with different companies. My holiday is very important to myself and my family. Before booking, I research the country, resort and hotel/appartments. I look at review sites but find this confusing. I tend to try to read between the lines and get an idea of whether most reviewers liked the hotel and resort or not. It's hard to tell as we look for different things in a holiday. However, I usually have a good holiday (fingers crossed for this one!) and believe, that after spending all that money on it, and time looking forward to it... I WILL enjoy! I've holidayed with different tour operators: Cosmos, ... Read the complete review

I have just booked my 2nd holiday through direct holiday. They are absolutely brilliant and cannot fault them in any way at all! We started looking for a holiday last yr and couldn't believe the brilliant deal we found to the canary islands for easter this year on their website.. we booked it immediately online which we found easy and straight forward. The price even included our meals on the plane and an extra 5kgs on our baggage allowance! The holiday was brilliant, so much so we decided to book through them again this yr as we couldn't find anywhere that could even match their prices (thomas cook was over £300 more expensive for the exact same holiday, flights etc!). .

Direct Holidays are a company I knew very little about until last year. I was starting my Summer holiday hunt, and came across the website. I immediately saw that they were part of the Thomas Cook group and this reassured me, Thomas Cook are a really well known travel agent who I have booked many holidays through. The website is the same layout as most other holiday companies sites. It is very simple to use. On the right hand side of the page is a box for you to enter all your information. This includes where you want to fly from and to, the date you wish to depart, how long you wish to stay for, how many people will be going on holiday, and the hotel rating ...
