It was bargain hunting as usual for cheap flights and accommodation in New York. We were planning on travelling in February and were thus hoping for a cheap trip, something sub-500 squids each. In the end a deal at Thomson in the city centre proved the worthy winner, with direct flights from Belfast to Newark and three nights in a superb hotel. This little store tried its best even to track down the cheap flight end of things but alas we came up a little short. We were looking at around £320 for flights alone whereas the whole thing worked out at £420 each for the hotel as well. Friendly staff though and it was a pleasant experience. The guy who helped us was, as is often said, 'sound as a pound'.

I personally hate travel brochures as they leave me cold and confused, as it is difficult to properly estimate prices from there, and it is impossible to tell where is actually good, so I think travel agents are very useful places! Staff are crucial in travel agents for ensuring that you get te best possible advice and information about potential holidays and any information you might need about the place itself. The staff in here were great, as they suggested a wide range of different deals to me and my girlfriend, as we only came in with a vague idea of where we would like to go, not about where we would actually like to go! They got us sorted out within an hour, and everything went smooth there after. They contacted us as soon as our tickets arrived and were only too happy to sort us out with all the advice we needed about our chosen destination! All in all, I couldn't Knock the service I received here!

Nevertheless we went to a funfair the day after and I survived not throwing up... but only just... Thomas Cook do try to go the extra mile, arranging excursions and meetings, sorting out any difficulties and giving us a bit of information about the place we are staying and how to make the most of our journey. Sadly, every single rep that I have come across has been irritatingly smug and I would love to throw under a bus. I do like the way Thomas Cook try their best to give you a holiday experience, but sometimes they can throw themselves and their smug little faces into their job so much that they become almost patronising. Still, at least they make the effort. And for that I cannot really fault them. They aren't quite Brazil, but at least they are Thomas Cook.

The staff are polite, if a little bit pushy but they really can tailor almost all their holidays to your needs if you know just what your looking for. If not, they'll find somewhere you love.

She had quite an accent but was very knowledgeable and informative of the Game of Thrones tour sites. My family and I enjoyed the tour very much. We especially enjoyed the comedy she threw in, the behind the scenes perspective of being an extra on the famous HBO GOT series, and the fun facts of Belfast. So much history and beautiful sights all along the Antrim Harbor. We even got to see "The Wall" from the filming for The Knight's Watch scenes. We didn't get to stop but it was cool to just see it in real life. If you're quick with the camera, you can take a photo from the tour bus. She also has the directions on how to get to the spots along the way should you want to return on your own time. That's super helpful. The breath taking views of the Giants Causeway and the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge was the highlight of the tour. And the best for last, seeing the Dark Hedges in person was surreal. I totally recommend this tour, it's practically all day 8:45am-6:30pm. The coach bus was comfortable, clean, and the driver was very good. The guide even showed scenes from the series before we made the stops so we know what we're about to see. At one point, we even took turns dressing up as the characters. Super fun tour, great for the GOT fan!

Note: this is a self guided tour, where the guide/driver will drop you off at each site and allow you to explore to take a quick photo. Stephen our driver/guide provided good insights about the history of Northern Ireland and about each site we were visiting. Most of the sites visited are quick photo opportunities, which means that you only have about 20 minutes before you need to get back on the bus to get to the next destination. The site with the longest visit was the Giants Causeway where we had about 1.5 hours to explore. The 20 minutes at each site does go by very quickly, so make sure to be aware of the time as the bus will leave to keep within schedule. Tip: Sit closer to the front of the bus to get off first and take photos at each site without people in your shot (unless another tour bus was already there).

Thomson required them to pay their deposit in cash and it had to be paid directly to this branch. Living in Enniskillen this proved problematic for the boys, therefore I suggested that I'd bring up their money and pay it for them. My first impression of this branch was excellent as it was really well laid out and I didn't have long to wait to be seen at all. Whilst I was waiting though I took the opportunity to browse through their brochures and I was really surprised at how cheap some of their holidays were. The deals were what I was drawn to first and if you are looking for a holiday, they have some great deals. I was then called by a more than helpful lady. She immediately sorted the deposits out and gave me receipts for the boys. The boys said the holiday was fantastic and that Thomson were more than accommodating for them. I think I'll use this company next year when booking my Summer holiday.

That was a very exuberant start to this review but still, the reason is this is where myself and my girlfriend found our trip to New York last February. We had been browsing through the multitude of holiday comparison sites for hotels and flight combinations. It seemed booking with Aer Lingus was the cheapest way to go, via Dublin airport. But alas, as prices soared closer to pay day it was looking less and less likely that we were going to be able to afford a trip away so soon. It took my girlfriend to walk past the store in Caste Court to find the bargain of the century, oddly leaving and returning on the exact dates we had planned. It included direct flights with Continental airlines from Belfast to Newark airport and three nights in a four star hotel just beside Central Park for....£410 each... a fantastic price if I must say., The whole thing went extremely smoothly, booked on the phone before calling down to collect a few documents. Highly recommend.
