REVIEWS

Very helpful and efficient service

16 Jan 2025

The sales assistant was really helpful and explained everything clearly.

Lesley Winters, 24 Sep 2024

We found Headwater through a referral from a friend and liked its range of unusual walking/biking/exploring holidays which give the veneer (at least) of not being traditional package-type vacations. We have chosen a cycle trip in northern Italy for May 2025.

The selection and booking process have been straightforward so far, although having coughed up a near 4-figure deposit in September 2024, was somewhat annoyed to be asked to pay for the flights as well (£400+) just days later when it was clear that the total holiday cost INCLUDED the flight costs. Was it a Deposit or not ? The Headwater agent did her best to defray the full flight cost, so we moved on with the beginnings of a smile.

Michael Durrant, 20 Sep 2024

Made an online enquiry for xc skiing at Venabu and immediately received an email from James to say he would be looking after my booking. I emailed him to clarify a couple of things. Next day I got a quote from Andrew who had not seen my email so we were at cross purposes. I had also made a mistake with the date in the online booking. However he was very efficient, corrected the date and rang the hotel on my behalf to sort out a couple of queries I had. I was very satisfied with the way he did all of this and booked the holiday. I'm not sure where James comes into the equation.
