"Lisbon Stag!"

I was in charge of organising my best mate's stag do and decided to take him to Lisbon. There were 8 of us in total. Maximise had loads of great ideas for activities and sorted us out with a brilliant bar crawl, with a great guide showing us the best places to go in the city.

My contact at Maximise was Max and he couldn't have been more helpful! Will definitely use Maximise again in the future :)

"Adventure in Croatia"

We booked through Maximize a trip to Split Croatia for a group of seven guys on a stag do.
Every detail was organised perfectly, the hotel was located ideally, the transfers like clockwork and the activities (white water rafting/canyoning) were stuff of dreams.
Can't thank Zoey and her team enough and will recommend Maximize to everyone.

"We booked through maximise for my…hen do"

We booked through maximise for my friends hen do in Benidorm. Originally we had booked the magic mike experience however unfortunately due to numbers the show was unable to go ahead. Initially we were very disappointed however Zoey was able to provide us with 3 alternatives. We ended up going for the Butler in the buff followed by a male stripper. We were also given 2 bottles of spirits for the inconvenience.

Zoey kept us fully informed and provided itinerary’s with clear instructions on where to go and once we arrived in Benidorm the team over there kept in touch and met us.

Overall we had such a fab night and there was 15 very happy girls!

Thank you so much again

"Unorganized company"

I have to say Maximise is one of the worst organized companies that I have worked with. I have initiated my request with them about 5 months before my friend's stag and during that 5 months I had to deal with 4 different people because the staff kept on leaving and everytime I have to explain everything from scratch like I'm dealing with a new company all over. Eventually they have sent us the itinerary, our first night was supposed to be a VIP table in a club. When we showed up to the club they had no idea who we are, we tried to call their emergency number but it didn't work. We eventually had to pay for the table again. When we contacted them after they said there was a mistake in the original itinerary, and they have updated the one on the app. They said that that they tried to call on the same day I was traveling however no email was sent by them that there was a change. They refused to take responsibility for their mistake and blamed me for not checking the app? Which is absurd.
I advise to stay away from them, there are plenty of other companies that are more organized and customer friendly.

"This was the review I was invited to…"

This was the review I was invited to provide to Maximise directly over a week ago but so THEY HAVE NOT HAD THE CURTESY TO CONTACT ME AND DISCUSS!!! so now I share my experience to you guys the public.


I would rate the weekend out of 10 as a 7.

Positives:
1, Airport transfers were smooth an on time.
2, Bar crawl on both nights were great and the rep stayed out with us most of the night to show us some great places to get drunk!!
3,The Fire arms shooting experience was unique and fantastic.
4, The Maximise website made the weekend quite easy for me organise.

On top of the above events an activities the staff at the hotel had a reasonable priced taxi service which was dedicated only to their hotel guests.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and a great laugh 😁

The hotel rooms were basic but very clean and comfortable with air conditioning which was a god send considering how humid it was outside.

Negative. ( And it is a very big one)

The Medieval Banquet:

This was the big event for the Friday night that the whole group was really looking forward to.... BUT....

1, We were shown into the very poorly lit restaurant which was empty and had no air conditioning which put the place at around 40c inside!!

2, IT WAS NOT A BANQUET! We were served a spicy soup, then something a bit like risotto followed with a desert that nobody ate because we couldn't stand the heat inside the restaurant.

3, As lead to believe from the event advertisement we thought that this event would have had some kind of theatrical entertainment and maybe some silly medieval costumes to set the scene but there was nothing 🙁

We were all truly disappointed with this non-event an I feel it was grossly mis-advertised.

For this event I do not think it was worth what we all paid for it and it certainly was not as described so I would like to know how I can go about challenging this in more official capacity.


Many thanks

Peter.

"Absolutely amazing"

Me and my group of 8 hens had an absolutely fab weekend!! The hen was over the moon with all the activities and accommodation. We stayed in the Tom Thumb Apartments in Liverpool and they couldn’t of been more perfect. The location was ideal, and it was so close to all our activities we had planned.
Every time I contracted Zoey through Maximise I was responded to so quickly and it was such an easy way of planning a big weekend that could be a bit hectic. You have a great selection of activities that are fit for everyone. We did the tipsy tea party, cocktail making and three course meal and the vip pass to clubs and bars. I was given the itinerary which was perfect as I was able to book taxis in advance and see how far walking distance everything was.
Maximise has been outstanding through the process of booking the weekend and I would very highly recommend anyone to them when booking a big weekend.

I will definitely be using you again in the future!

Thank you so much!

"Everything went off without a hitch!"

Everything went off without a hitch! All the activities were awesome and the transport was always on time! Everyone had a great time! Thanks to Zoey Bond and the team for an awesome trip! Would definitely recommend Maximise to everyone!

"Budapest Stag July 2018"

Maximise: Zoey Whelan and rest of your colleagues maid the booking and payments simple and communication was brilliant , The App was first class .

Accommodation: Pretty basic but no complaints as was clean, only downside was it was at least a 20 min walk to the city centre , and a lot of the taxi companies did try to rip you off.

Rep Eszter Tomasics : She was a star , booked taxis when we wanted which minimised the above, organised all our activities and was at the end of a phone when ever we needed, accompanied us in all activities and we even paid for another bar crawl , we had to postpone our Sat Am go karting of which she managed to reschedule for us for the Sunday.
She was brilliant throughout our trip so would like to make sure this feedback is fed back to her employers.

Overall: will def be booking again through maximise . ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Booked a hen weekend to Benidorm via…"

Booked a hen weekend to Benidorm via Maximise. Couldn't fault it! Very good on email, never waited more than an hour for a response, answered all questions and queries I had. We had 3 different flights arriving in Benidorm and Zoey kindly arranged 3 different airport transfers for all flights at no extra charge. We had a CAVA reception on our first night, we didn't like the location (was in a strippers bar!) so we just moved on, this was a freebie so wasn't an issue, our Benidorm rep was very accommodating and recommended other bars along the strip.
We also went to the Villa Retreat which we booked via Maximise, this was the highlight of the whole holiday, perfect day, 100% recommend this if you are thinking of booking Benidorm!
Had no issues at all with the whole experience, great communication, very detailed itinerary. I received confirmation text messages regarding pick up times for the return transfers etc. I didn't have to worry about anything! Perfect weekend! Would definitely book with Maximise again!
Thank you for arranging!

"Great organisation - have a little faith!"

I was a bit sceptical about using a company like this to organise my friend's hen do but Zoey was brilliant - everything was perfectly organised and we were given lots of different packages to choose from. Having a single website to track everyone's payments made it easier with a large group. We had a few chops and changes with people dropping out but it was handled really well. I called ahead to the hotel and club to make sure everything was definitely booked in, but to be honest, I didn't need to in the end and should've just trusted Maximise to do the right thing! The hotel even pre-checked us in so we had the rooms as soon as we arrived so that was a nice touch :)

Thanks to Zoey and the team for helping us organise a fantastic weekend!
