One if the lesser well known and successful travel agents within Northern Ireland it's fair to say…read moreno one really knows this little place just off the city centre even exists. I called in last year when I had finally given up on the internet providing me with a cheap last minute break to New York. Myself and my girlfriend called in to see what continental fun could be had a knock-down or at least last minute price. When I spoke to the staff I was a little taken back when they were less than wholly helpful, trying to steer me in the way of other packaged holidays to destinations I cared little for. Not much in the way of what I was after - not a good start.

I have dealt with Travel Solutions on a number of occasions and can gladly say they have been…read moreexcellent every time.The firm offers a wide range of coach tours, entertainment breaks and day trips to places, but the main use to me was their sports tours. As everyone in Northern Ireland knows, the standard of our football league isn't great to say the least, which leads to everyone ending up supporting an English team if they want to pursue quality ( or else one of two Scottish teams if they don't care about quality but they do love sectarian hatred!) Me and my big brother have been huge Man Utd supporters from the age of 4 years old, but untill a few years ago we had never been to see them because our Dad is amotor nut and hates football with a passion!That is when we decided to take things into our own hands! I have now been 4 different trips in the last year with Travel Solutions and they have improved their operations on the coachs immeasurably.The buses used to go via Dublin but now go straight from Belfast to Liverpool which saves a lot of time being cooped up! The trips are reasonably priced, for example for £159 my brother and I went to see the Champions League quarter final this year.The trip includes match ticket, all coach transfer, hotel for the night and free meal on re-entry to the hotel and breakfast in the morning.You could never get this kind of value yourself! Also all the tickets are season tickets, which means better seats and 10% off in the Superstore!On the occasion my girlfriend and I went to see Utd play Everton I was right at the corner flag, and got about 50 texts from my mates who seen me on TV abusing me for looking like I was taking a picture of John O Shea's arse! I would do it again any day!!! The bus guides are friendly and only to eager to help advice you, so if you are wanting a sports tour to Manchester, look no further than Travel solutions!

The guide, Bobby, was so friendly and helpful, he was very informative and open to questions. This is a very slick service, probably because they have been doing it for so many years. I wouldn't hesitate to use Travel Solutions again for another football trip.

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'.

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.

They cater for those wanting to go on cruises or organising the perfect honeymoon for the newly weds. Way to expensive for my shallow pockets, but a good place for those looking for something special.
