Brilliant skiing trip

Paul fixed up a skiing trip for us which was fantastic. He couldn't have been more helpful and got straight back to us with any questions.

Outstanding Service

We booked flights to Australia with Dawson Travel and the service along with value for money was just exceptional. One of the big things for us was service, no matter how many emails we sent or whatever we asked, there was never an issue. Also, with had to curtail our holiday due to a family member getting sick. We emailed Dawson Travel on a Saturday expecting a reply on Monday but they emailed back with 30 mins outlining how they were there to help. For us, that was just an outstanding service & we will be back to Dawson Travel to book again

Paul Dawson travel is honestly the best travel agency. Second time around going to Madrid this year to see Real Madrid play (vs Atlético) and both times we went it has been nothing but an amazing experience. Very easy to contact Paul and respond time is brilliant, even asked how our trip was when we got home. Will definitely be booking again thanks a lot

Holiday from Cork to Sydney Return

Paul Dawson Travel were fantastic--- We flew from Cork to Heathrow with Aer Lingus --- From Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur with Malaysian Aer lines and from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney with Malaysian Aer Lines --- Transfers, times of flights etc were excellent --- absolutely no complaints. My son and his wife did the same trip in April 2024 and they would also highly recommend Dawson Travel. Return flights with the same Aer L:ines were also excellent and transfers etc were spot on.

Hassel Free Experience

I would highly recommend Paul and the team in Dawson Travel. They helped me to organise my trip to Bali and Singapore, working with the specific dates and criteria I had. Everything was so organised well - flights, transfers and accommodation which made preparing for the trip so easy. I will definitely use their services again!

Amazing at organising our big complicated trip!

Couldn't recommend Paul Dawson highly enough! He organised a 3 month holiday containing several different countries for us! He gave us a big folder with all the information we needed and if we ever had issues whilst away, he was always at the other end of the phone if we needed him. He got us great deals and was always lovely to talk to! Very grateful for helping us achieve our dream travelling experience! Thank you, Greg and Laura!

The holiday was fantastic.
The apartment was perfect to our needs.
The hotel location in Cambrils was also perfect, being quieter than either Salou itself or the Port area 10 mins either side.
The flights were grand and short from Cork, and the taxis were great both times.
Baggage on flights was also grand.
Local bus routes were cheapo and regular, great service.
So, overall delighted.
Paul was a pleasure to deal with throughout, would highly recommend booking with Dawson Travel

Recent trip to USA

Here's what I wrote to Paul in Dawson Travel recently. I've taken out some personal details. Too many weirdos on the Web!
Paul,
Not sure if you wanted a review of our recent trip to USA but I'll do one anyway!!
You'll recall we flew from Shannon to NY and came home 10 days later from Boston.
Parking in Shannon was the easiest we've seen. A minute's walk to the terminal. Then no delay to check in, all calm and quiet, breezed quickly through customs and while the choice of food and shops isn't Dublin Airport standard w'd.still much prefer the tranquility of Shannon.
Aer Lingus flights were both fine. Or some of us on each flight the movie screen didn't work which did drag a bit after a few hours! Said they'd come back and fix it but didn't.
Delay.for >.30minutes waiting for the transfer (claimed it would take 45 minutes, was easily over 80), 4pm heavy traffic.
The Sanctuary Hotel was great. Comfortable, quiet, pleasant staff.
Excellent location, thanks!
Terrible buffer breakfast, though!
Might remind travellers also to have a few dollars (small denominations!) ready for tips as soon as they arrive.
Gorgeous train trip from NY to Boston, very comfortable and beautiful countryside.
Very convenient car-hire drop off at Boston /Logan Airport.
Thanks again, Paul. We'll be back to Dawson!

Truly Amazing Experience

We went through Dawson Travel for a number of holidays over the past few years as well as our Honeymoon and the occasional premier league match. We have to say that they have been absolutely excellent and without their knowledge we certainly wouldn't have enjoyed our holidays as much as we did. Their expertise in identifying the best hotels, areas, restaurants etc. was such a huge benefit. We cannot rate Dawson Travel highly enough and have recommended to friends and family who have also use them and have had amazing experiences too. Thank you to all at Dawson Travel for providing such great tailored holiday packages.

5 stars! Superb experience.

Honestly I can’t recommend them enough. Professional, knowledgeable and really worked to get me the best price. We went on a trip over to Liverpool to watch a game and stay in the city overnight. Right from the first communication I knew I was in good hands. We stayed right in the city centre and had great match day hospitality tickets for a great price. I will 100% be using Dawson Travel for all of my sports trips in the future. If you want a stress free trip, great value, excellent support, then look no further.
