"Well organised trip but food in hotel poor"
I thought the food in the hotel was very poor. Would have preferred better food and less wine
The tour was well organised and supervised.

"Lake Bled and other Trips with One Traveller"
Lake Bled was my fifth trip with One Traveller (OT). They obviously do a lot of things right as these have all been in the space of one year and I am booked again for February.
Why I have not given full marks lies in the fact that there is a great divide between their different Tour Leaders . I have had 2 outstanding leaders, one above average and two pretty poor. It makes a huge difference to one's enjoyment and the group feeling they generate
Lake Bled was the most recent trip and it was an entirely delightful centre. Tranquil, uncrowded, and fairy tale setting. Excellent excursions to key places in Slovenia.
Hotel was one of the ones that I have least liked with OT. Too big and a holiday camp feel about the dining room in the evening . It had lots of coach parties who were touring and only stayed a night or two. Other issues with the hotel too (charging for water etc) but they do have a magnificent spa. Hotels on all my other trips have been smaller and there have been several that I have loved staying at.
Trips I would most recommend have been Stockholm and Baltic States. Would not recommend a cruise as there is always plenty to occupy oneself with and people meet very easily on cruises. OT doesn't really add to the cruise experience.
One of the joys of travelling with OT is that the other people are always very amenable. There hasn't been anyone on any of my trips who was unpleasant and many who were interesting kind and helpful, and I could have made lasting friendships with, if I had more space in my calendar . I was the only man in the total party of 31 to Lake Bled. This didn't matter at all. Usually the split is about 70%F to 30% M.
I hope to continue travelling with them for a few years yet (I am now 84 and have usually been just about the oldest person on each trip) Next is Nile Cruise which I eagerly await in February

"Enjoyable trip to Lake Garda"
We had a superb tour leader in Jan Lumley for the trip to Lake Garda. The hotel was comfortable and the staff friendly and attentive. The food was good and the wine generous. The Olympic swimming pool was a bonus. The excursions were well planned, although it would have been better to have the rest day immediately after an exhausting tour of Venice (I understand this will happen next year). We were lucky to get the same excellent coach driver most days and even luckier with the weather, as the sun shone out of a cloudless sky all week. My one criticism would be the size of the party – there were 29 and should have been 30 – however, we all got on well and the system of rotating places at dinner made it possible to get to know most of them.

"Brilliant holiday in Prague"
Brilliant holiday in Prague. The hotel was very good, lovely large room and walk in shower. The food at the hotel was good. The two tour managers were really helpful and entertaining. The only downside was the goulash restaurant where the food and service were awful. The excursions walks etc. were interesting especially the monstery library private tour. I'd highly recommend this tour and One Traveller

"Lake Garda, Venice and Verona…"
The great variety of destinations and activities on my recent holiday to Lake Garda made this an excellent holiday. Also, the professional handling of any problems by Jan Lumley ensured we were well looked after at all times. She struck just the right balance of friendliness and leadership skills.
The Poiano hotel was perfect and the weather was bright sunshine throughout.

"Italy is not just about pizza"
Wow, Lake Garda is a perfect trip for a first timer on a solo holiday. The itinerary was varied, with so much to look forward to every day. Quite a busy trip, so if you want to stay in bed until 10am or cannot walk so far choose an alternative. I was blown away by the varied landscapes and stunning beauty of the region, all helped along by our knowledgeable and passionate tour manager. Wonderful trip. Thank you. Can’t wait until the next!

"Unable to complete booking"
Tried to book my first trip with OneTraveller only to be frustrated becaue they wouldn't accept my American Express credit card (not a charge card). Lots of travel agents and travel co's do accept AmEx.
The tales of AmEx charging more are probably apocryphal - I would be surprised if Tesco, Waitrose, Amazon, TKMAXX Netflix and all the little high street shops in the 'shop small' scheme etc pay higher rates to AmEx than to other credit cards

"Excellent,well managed company"
Just back from my second trip this year with OT, my 8th in the past few years.Each trip surpasses the previous trip.,excellence is important to this company.The tour managers are always efficient,knowledgeable and caring.It is reassuring to have the back-up if you need it,but important not to feel regimented or smothered!The tour managers are excellent at their jobs.Jonathan Clarke and Richard Lord are brilliant but every manager is equally good.Local guides are knowledgeable and friendly,coach drivers are skilful.I have already booked my next trip.Don't take my word,give it a go!
