"Hen weekend"

Just back from my hen weekend in Edinburgh and honestly had the best time everything went perfect!!
The apartments we stayed were great and the girls night on the Saturday was just brilliant
Thank you zoey for making my hen weekend stress free everyone had so much fun 😊

"Berlin Stag"

We had a few issues with getting our weekend plan, and we got messed about with our accommodation as we had booked 3star hotel and got a large hostel. We were compensated for this straight away. And it turns out the hostel was perfect except for it being quited away out of the city center.

The guide was fantastic, friendly and took the banter from 13 over grown kids (aged 29-52) with a taste for the local beer (Berliner). Well done Laura, it must have been like gathering cats.

The activities went smoothly without a glitch and the beer bike is a must for everyone, although I'm not sure how the locals felt about "The Wurzels" as our sound track. Every single member had a massive smile the whole time.

Thank you Louise of Maximise for your help and advise, we will be using you again.

"No Hassle Hen Weekend couldnt ask for any better"

Just wanted to say what an absolutely fantastic weekend we had in Leeds. Everything organised was absolutely perfect from the hotel to the shows and the dance class, even our steak was cooked to how we requested. Thank you very much for all your help, all 17 of us said what a wonderful weekend and we would definitely recommend you guys to everyone we know.

"Amazing Weekend in Budapest"

I can't recommend Maximise enough. Everything was made easy and fun.
Louise at Maximise was terrific in helping us tailor the weekend to our needs. A super selection of activities with lots of options.
Our local guide, Idi, was fantastic. She made every effort to be certain that we enjoyed ourselves. Very, very good.
The events were super. Beer Bike, Sparty and Segways are not to be missed in Budapest. Such great fun and our guide took us to some great Ruin Bars for late night drinking. Just amazing.
We had a small glitch when we arrive at our hotel as the rooms were incorrect but Maximise was on the phone quickly and handled the situation very professionally.
At the end of the weekend, we all agreed that this was the BEST Stag Do we'd ever been on.
Great Job Maximise - Thanks for taking care of us !

"Brilliant hen weekend in cardiff"

We had a brilliant hen weekend in cardiff with maximise. The village hotel was superb (particularly Donna on reception) all the activities were organised for us exceeded expectations and we had a fantastic time that was seamless, easy to organise and great value for money. Joe did such a brilliant job that I didn't have to worry about a thing and responded quickly to any queries. Maximise took all the stress away from organising and paying for the weekend. The bride said she couldn't have done better if she had tried. Will certainly be a hen do everyone remembers for years to come. Thank you so much to everyone who made it so special.

"EXCELLENT TIME ..BUT DEFINITELY ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT"

Would I use Maximise again? Probably ....

Firstly I will state that our party has a brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed our weekend.

Il start with the negatives

Poor communication: Prior to leaving there was an issue with the website not accepting our flight details. As such I emailed them 4/5 times and I eventually had to ring about 2 weeks before departure date to see what was going on. Our contact was apologetic and confirmed they had received them etc. Our weekend pack arrived like a week before we where leaving and that was after repeated requests for it.

Generally got blanket answers to questions, even when specifically asking for information i.e. address of activities (in case we had to make our own way there/guide didnt show etc) these questions where never answered.

"Central Location Apartments" - Now our apartments where lovely no issue with that, but they where located in Prague 5, (Prague 1 being city centre), this was around 40 minute walk. Even our guides noted how far out we where and this would require taxis to keep to timelines/going in and out of town. Personally this wasnt an issue for us as it meant no one attempted to walk home pished and always got a taxi but the advertising of it as central is wrong/pretty poor.

Weekend pack told us it was 100euro deposit per room at apartments. This was never mentioned in build up only when we spotted it on our weekend pack and then questioned it. Noise violation fine of 200 euro also on weekend pack, no mention of this in build up. When we checked in it turned out they wanted 200 euro per room upfront. We had a quiet group so we used credit/debit cards and the money was placed as a hold against cards(all cards had the hold lifted upon 3-5 days of return) - This was just a shock/pretty crap way to start, which adds to the poor communication.

Paintballing with 5 beers - our beers and paintballs are still there. Our last activity and it was so disappointing. I cant stress this enough, we will literally drink anything but not one of the 14 lads could stomach the beer it was that foul. All the goggles/gloves/overalls where dripping in sweat from previous group which was pretty nasty. Instructor literally handed us guns gave 2 minutes safety speech and left it at that, there was no organisation/games/structure. Lads got scundered after 15 mins and most just got changed and waited to leave. It was a poor way to end the activities.

Positives.

THE GUIDES - THESE GIRLS ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD

My whole reason for using maximise again would be for these girls (Vox Travel) - they organised taxis/restaurants/bars/clubs/left pished people home/stayed out all night with us. They made the weekend for us, such a good experience, they bent over backwards to accommodate us.

BOAT TOUR WITH SHOW - Cant recommend this enough, beers boats and dancers. Boat is actually relaxing and takes in charles bridge and local scenery. Then you have the private show below deck! great stuff

SHOOTING RANGE - No bainer - great time had by all.

WE HAD A BRILLIANT TIME. Took care of us from minute we landed to minute we left. Transfers, activities, pubs, meals etc. Now this was the effort of the people on the ground in Prague (VOX TRAVEL) my dealings with Maximise staff was strained and left me chasing them alot.

Would i use Maximise again? Probably if they keep using the same people in Prague, its them that made the weekend.

"Salou Hen 2016"

Maximise made the weekend very easy to organise and my contact (Zoey Wieland) was always available for questions and was prompt and helpful in her answers. The weekend package was enjoyed by all parties who went. They organised some great restaurant, hotel and club which made my life as organiser very easy. I would definitely use the company again.
