"Albufeira Hen"

I was in charge of organising a hen do for 31 people which filled me with fear. However I had no need to worry because Zoey at maximise was on hand to help.
She organised everything and responded to my questions/emails very quickly.
Although the group size changed a lot, Zoey was able to sort things out.
The apartments we were put in were in the best possible location and exactly what we needed.

Everyone we encountered in Portugal were very professional, with all transfers being bang on time, and the guides (Andrew) being on call to help us if we needed it.

Thanks to everyone at maximise as all 31 of us had the best weekend ever.

"Unorganised company, just do it yourself."

We had a great time in Cardiff, but this didn’t really have anything to do with booking through Maximise weekend company.
They cancelled the activity that we had booked for the Saturday day time 3 weeks before our departure date. This was frustrating as this activity was the only reason we had chosen Cardiff anyway. I already felt unconfident with the contact I’d had with the staff on the phone so decided to carry on and book another activity myself direct with the activity company.
We were originally quoted for a vip booth in the club for the Saturday evening to include entry and drinks but when the itinerary came through we were only booked for club entry and queue jump. When I questioned this with Maximise they didn’t seem to care or make an effort to investigate further. I found this out 5 days before so once again had to sort this myself and book direct with the club.
We also had a karaoke booth booked for the Saturday night too, which ended up being moved to the Friday night instead. This was fine but it was annoying that all the plans kept changing.
They did correctly book a meal for us on the Friday evening in a good restaurant and for the right amount of people so I cannot fault them for that.
The accommodation was a little tired, in an ok area but slightly further out of the city centre than we thought it would be. Most annoyingly the property had no hot water for the shower so it was cold showers for everyone all weekend and only one shower for 8 people, should be advertised for 6 people really.

Like I said all these things didn’t ruin our weekend, but using a company in no way minimised stress or cost in the organising. Every time I spoke to Maximise I spoke to a different person, this in its self didn’t fill me with confidence in them. Due to a catalogue of errors in this instance, I couldn’t in good conscious recommend this company to anyone else.

"Maximise were brilliant especially Zoey…"

Maximise were brilliant especially Zoey who replied to all my questions promptly. They organised our transfers and 3 activities and everything went without a hitch. It made the weekend even more special and a lot less stressful for me. All the activities we did were brilliant. We particularly enjoyed the cocktail making class but the Prosecco bike and treasure hunt were equally as good. If your planning a hen/stag do I would really recommend maximise, they talior it to what you want and the price isn’t bad either. It really does make things a lot easier

"Booked a hen weekend with Zoey and…"

Booked a hen weekend with Zoey and cannot fault the service. From start to finish she was efficient, helpful and nothing was too much like hard work for her. Would definitely recommend!

"Prague Stag do"

Just returned from a stag do with 19 people to Prague. This was organised by Zoey Bond in the UK and went without a hitch. The rep in Prague was Jane, and anyone dealing with either of these can rest assured they will get the best service.
Don’t think you can get better than all 19 people sending messages today wishing they were back there already.
Thanks Maximum, brilliant service and thanks for making the groom to be’s weekend a memorable one.

"Budapest weekend"

From start to finish our experience with maximise has been brilliant. Organising the whole stag do was straight forward and then the weekend was excellent. All the activities that we booked were better than expected and out guide whilst in Budapest, Eszter, was great. Helpful all weekend and tolerated a group of 20 on a stag weekend with great professionalism. Cant recommend Maximise and Eszter enough.

"NEVER use Maximise!"

NEVER use Maximise!
Booked through them for a hen do to Barcelona, just 2 days before we were due to go they changed the timings of one of the activities we had booked which caused a lot of inconvenience to the plan, having to re-arrange various other parts of the day. We also had to keep ringing to receive our new revised itinerary. Already a bad start to the experience with Maximise.
On the Sunday we got to the meeting point for our Beer Bike and nobody turned up. We rang the number on the itinerary as well as the "emergency contact number" and there was no answer. We managed to get through to the direct company in Barcelona for the bike and were spoken to disgustingly with them claiming they have nothing to do with this. This totally ruined the day for us and since returning we have still not got our money back! Maximise are claiming they are "investigating the matter". What is there to investigate?! We didn't go on the activity we expect the refund. Absolutely appalling, disgusting customer service, and ruined the weekend with their unorganisation, dishonesty and incompetence!!!

"Stag in Budapest with river cruise"

Had to chase the bookings a few times with the English based Maximise team as I hadn’t received the internary with less than a week to go, which was worrying and anxious.
We had only booked the river cruise activity, however the guide Eszter was helpful via text from before we had arrived.
The river cruise had some great views at night with landmarks lite up. The package also included all you can drink, with cans of larger, wine and very very cheap tasting champagne but to be honest what would you expect for 28 quid!
The highlight was the stripper for the stag. Eszter will message you before to ask how far the stripper will take the humiliation of the stag, so will suits all types of groups.
We enjoyed the activity so much we paid extra to continue the night with Eszter giving a guided tour at 11 quid each. My memory from there becomes a bit iffy, but from the photos it was a good night!

"We had a fantastic weekend in Budapest…"

We had a fantastic weekend in Budapest organised by the Maximise guys. We had a few hitches during booking with changes to the apartment and one activity but these were quickly resolved. When we got to Budapest our awesome guide Eszeter was waiting for us with a few beers, perfect start! Thought the weekend she was incredible and took us to some great pubs and clubs. She also suggested some extra activities and organised them at short notice for us.
