My reviews

I was looking to book a surprise break for my wife’s upcoming 50th birthday. I was recommended Michelle through a friend she’d helped. Michelle came up with various suggestions and budgets and made the whole experience very special. Due to family circumstances I had to change dates and Michelle went the extra mile in accommodating us. I would recommend all my friends and family to Michelle as you get a very professional, personal and bespoke service! Many thanks Steve & Claire

Michelle has been most helpful and attentive from our original enquiry through to the booking. I would highly recommend you give her a try when looking for your next holiday.

We have just booked our holiday to Mexico with Michelle & she was fantastic from start to finish. I had so many requests and dates for her to check and she always replied promptly- nothing was to much for her. Great service & great prices too thanks Michelle xx

I have just booked a cruise around kvarner island croatia for aug 2018 , and i must say Michelle was excellent sorting every thing out from the flights, tranfers and hotel . Knowing that Michelle is only a phone call away if i need to ask her anything.

Thanks for helping me with the all i have got to do now is wait and have the holiday which i am looking forward to .
once againg thanks Michelle and have a good trip in Brazil.

Usually I book family holidays online but we we're looking at destinations we weren't really certain of. With 3 kids we have to make sure it caters for all of them as the youngest will be under 2 and the eldest 10. We ruled out Cuba and I left Michelle the task of finding us alternatives. 

We were emailed several options which all looked fantastic and fitted within our budget. We decided on the Moon Palace, Mexico that Michelle recommended as it looked simply fantastic! 

I'm certain the kids are going to love it especially having an Ocean View to wake up to every single morning ! All those little bits which would usually be left to me are all taken care of...seats, cot, meals...I'm looking forward to the fact that all arrangements are taken care of and we have someone to get in touch with when we're out there if we need to. 

It really is a tailor made holiday where all your needs are taken care of. I have no hesitation in recommending Michelle and will definitely be booking again! Just have to wait for the trip to come around now !!

We always book our holidays through thomsons which has been fine in the past if you know what you want! This year we wanted something a little bit special as celebrating 40th birthdays and 10 year wedding anniversary, plus we have a 6 year old and will have a 6 month baby at the time of travelling too so a lot of things to take into consideration!!

We knew we wanted to go to Mexico as that is where we got married 10 years ago but we needed help with the right resort and accommodation given that our circumstances had changed so much since our last visit.

I contacted thomsons hoping for some advice on the right resort and accommodation, we wanted somewhere luxurious to celebrate our special birthdays and anniversary (with a private feel to our bedroom) but also important for us was to have entertainment and activities for our 6 year old to keep him busy, child friendly enough where we would not feel a burden to other holiday makers and have a nice beach.

Thompsons gave me the option of three hotels that may suit but after reading tripadvisor reviews none of them seemed to appeal to us, i went back to them with my concerns but they then seemed to lose interest with me, making me feel i was being a little difficult!

I had seen posts and reviews on facebook for Michelle Stammers - The Travel Genius and thought i would give her a try to see if she could come up with any alternatives for us and im so glad i did! Michelle was amazing, she really listened to all of our requirements and came back with lots of options and she kept going and tweaking until we had the perfect package.

She really made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and cared more about getting things exactly right than just trying to secure another off-the-shelf booking! The service doesn’t stop there either, Michelle also takes care of the online check-in and airport hotels and is available throughout your holiday if you have any problems or need any advice.

She’s turned what felt like a stressful task initially into a really enjoyable and exciting event . . . we now cant wait to go and enjoy our dream family holiday together in Mexico Thank you Michelle x

We booked our holiday this year with Michelle as because of family commitments we ran out of time to look ourselves. She came up with some great suggestions. Her service was speedy and nothing seemed too much trouble. Thank you Michelle. ..we are counting the days now until we go.

I have never booked a holiday this way before and can honestly say Michelle has been amazing. From the initial enquiry to the final booking and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble any questions we have had have been answered and Michelle has taken the time to give us loads of advice to make our holiday experience one of the best. The booking was easy no waiting for hours in a travel agent while you wait for the booking straight forward and easy to do. Already can not wait to go.

Jane Gregory May 2017

Absolutely fantastic experience and holiday! No stress what so ever.. recommending to every holiday maker!!! I'll definitely be in touch again soon to be another holiday! Xxx

Michelle made booking our honeymoon enjoyable, easy and impossible not to get overly excited and extend our trip! She took all of my ideas on board, recommended some great hotels along the way and it was all done so quickly.
I also love the online tool I’m able to access through booking with Michelle, which allows my wedding guests to help make our honeymoon extra special.
Thanks Michelle!

Found Michelle through a friend and can't fault the service one bit. Took the hassle out of me booking a surprise 50th for my mums birthday, everything ran smoothly and kept us up to date to make sure everything was Ok and they landed safely. She recommended Mauritius which my dad had doubts about and now he's loving it! Would definitely use Michelle again and suggest others should too.
Highly recommend A* service!

I've just booked a Singapore Grand Prix package via Michelle. She provides an excellent service. All options were explained well and I received a prompt response to any questions. I'm confident that we will have an amazing time thanks to Michelle!

Would highly recommend the ' Travel Genius'
We have just booked a family trip to Lapland.
Michelle was very attentive and gave us lots of advice and information and made the booking process simple and stress free!
Her follow up service was great, suggesting Airport hotels and parking.
Thanks Michelle most straight forward holiday booking I've ever made!!

Helen Hodgkiss Jan 2017

Michelle was recommended to me. We needed help booking a trip at very short notice, she made us aware of pitfalls we hadn't appreciated and came up with a choice of solutions. Her experience is very useful! I will recommend her to friends and family.

Helen Morris Jan 2017

Fantastic service! We booked a trip to Lapland with Michelle for December 2017 she was so helpful, with great tips and advice. We will definitely be using Michelle for all our future trips

Carrie Gibson Jan 2017

Great service by Michelle just booked to go to Rome she found me a great location and a nice hotel im so looking forward to going.

Jason Lemmon Jan 2017 

I heard about The Travel Genius through word of mouth in the local community. Can't fault the service we have received. One day we had an idea for a trip, the next day it was booked. Michelle's professionalism and experience in the industry enhanced our booking process as she explored various options allowing to make an informed decision so we've no doubt our trip will be amazing. We will look forward to using the Travel Genius again.

H'chy Symes Jan 2017

Highly recommended! I've just booked a holiday to Cuba with Michelle and the level of service was second to none. Michelle responded to my numerous questions promptly and made sure I was happy with everything. Once booked she has continued to deal with any queries for me and we're really looking forward to our adventure in the Caribbean!

Kate Rose Jan 2017

What can I say about this fabulous lady. 
I book all my holidays though Michelle & I'm always so delighted with the outcome. I've used Michelle for many many years & from the word go my holiday is sorted. 
I only have to send her a text & she's replying before I know it & dealing with my request. She's always very helpful, professional & it's a fabulous personal & attentive service that she offers. 
I’d be so lost without her. Thank you so much for my yearly holidays & those in between!
