Hi Paul was very quick in sending link to make a payment
Low Cost Cruise. Aka Johnson holidays
We have just returned from our 2-week holiday to the Bellagio and 1 weeks Nile cruise.
This is just a letter of the statement of facts. it is shame that people I met had the same, sometimes a lot worse problems.
First, the salespeople are very pushy and lie to get a sale.
They state that everything is included in the holiday, including luggage, all inclusive, all transfers, all trips.
Then after, we, the client, has paid the deposit to you and then receive the paperwork, which is quite long, we notice, that there is NO luggage apart from a very small bag. This I found was an ongoing omittance from all parties I met, in fact every English person who was on the cruise with us.
2 of the groups also had to change one of the people coming, that is a name change for the flights. When I contacted you, you stated that this was £198 and this was the charge Easyjet charges, it is actually £60 online or £65 by telephone. I found I was the lucky as you charged the other people £300 for this change, however, I am not sure if they travelled by Easyjet.
They changed our boat for cruising the Nile, with no request, no sorry, no anything. The boat was not all inclusive, but I did think it wasn’t. The trips were not all inclusive, I thought Abu Simbel would be included and found that it wasn’t. Others also had it changed multiple times. We were all travelling with Johnson holidays aka low cost cruises. I paid to be upgraded on the boat. However, we were all on the same deck, so we were not particularly upgraded, as some had paid and some hadn’t.
I must state that the hotel was very nice, staff great, food good, rooms some dated, but still nice, we were upgraded for the last 2 nights. The beach wasn’t the best but adequate. The cruise, the staff were brilliant as was the food and rooms. Egypt is amazing.
I booked a multi break trip including Milan, Lake Cumo, Bernina Express, Chur, Zurich, Grindelwald/Interlaken. This includes all flights, transfers, trains, excursions and hotels.
Johnson Holidays came up with the best price and the package was put together exceptionally well. I cannot fault any part of the holiday and would definately use them again.
Thanks to Rakesh for putting our brilliant itinerary together.

My wife & I would like to thank Asma for helping us book the holiday to Milan and in particular the booking of the boarding passes. She was very patient and helpful.

Paul Smith was very helpful with my query today

Reply from Johnson Holidays
Our holiday in Cyprus ( Aphrodite Hills) was fabulous. I cannot recommend Johnsons, and especially Adam Brown, more highly. Adam sorted out everything including our boarding passes. Thank you for your excellent customer service.

Reply from Johnson Holidays
Quick response on the phone, and I was transferred to Asma, who took my payment details and confirmed that payment had been made. She took my card details, and sent an email confirming payment. For some reason it did not show up immediately in my inbox, so she sent it on WhatsApp as well.

I have a mixed experience of booking with this company. My partner and I recently visited Milan and Lake Garda for 6 nights, a trip that was advertised at £499 per person, staying in 4 star hotels. The reality was over £800 per person and 3 star hotels, inferior to those advertised. The big difference in price was I suppose partly the time of year we went but also admin fees and extra baggage fees (as only a small under seat bay was included in the basic cost). So we paid way over the £499 advertised and didn’t even get the standard of hotels advertised. The hotel in Lake Garda was advertised as having Lake views, an indoor pool, sauna, relaxation room and a gym. Sounded great and one of the reasons we booked this particular trip. In reality the hotel we were allocated had nothing apart from a breakfast room/bar and a rooftop terrace. Our room had no lake views.
On a slightly more positive note, all elements of the holiday (flights, train tickets and hotels) were well arranged by Johnsons and we didn’t have any issues, (apart from those already mentioned with the hotels allocated). The company should however be more transparent with the baggage included and the fact there are no hotel to airport transfers included. N.B. The Bernina Red Train experience was advertised as a full day experience, which it was but only included around 2.5 hours on the actual train, the rest was on a coach (about 3 hours each way to get to and from the train). The trip was still worth it as the Swiss Alps are amazing.
All in all I’d only recommend this company if you check you are happy with any alternative accommodation allocated to that advertised before finalising a booking, as they may try to palm you off with inferior accommodation as they did for us.
THANKS TO ASMA FOR ALL THE HELP SHE HAS GIVEN ME WITH ALL MY FLIGHT BOOKINGS AND EVER THINGS THAT YOU HAVE CONPLETED FOR A LOVELY HOLIDAY IN TENERIFE I WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND YOU TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Asma was really helpful friendly and very efficient

The people ! Quite literally the people, they were amazing, welcoming, friendly, courteous and attentive to all our needs while holidaying, both on the Nile cruise on board the Al Nabilitan and at the Bellagio Hotel. I would say however that the cruise boat was most definitely not the 5* Johnsons travel claimed it was. It was tired and in need of an upgrade. That said staff on board were amazing. Our tour Rep Ahmad was second to none ! Expert in all things relating to Egyptian history, he was fabulous, friendly and went above and beyond for everyone, being available practically 24 hours. Despite some difficult and troublesome passengers he remained courteous and respectful throughout which is more than can be said for the passengers

Paul was fantastic. I'd been trying to sort the problem I had for the last 24 hours. He resolved the issue in a matter of minute. I'm very greatful to him.
10 out of 10!

We have just finished a 7 day Nile cruise and I must say it has been an awful holiday for us. Problems started at the beginning where there were room issues - we paid to upgrade to a deluxe cabin with balcony. No balcony (had sliding doors) and all the rooms were the same. So either people who didn’t pay an upgrade had a free upgrade, or we paid for an upgrade and didn’t get it. Once that was sorted, we went to the ‘welcome’ meeting and had a ‘political’ lecture from Ahmed about us not ‘coming’ to Egypt and that we shouldn’t listen to our government as they have suffered because of this? I am on holiday and didn’t particularly want to get into a debate. He then asked for £30pp for tips. I have no problem tipping, but, it’s British culture to tip when we get good service a ie at the end of the week (IMO). Ahmed became angry with me which resulted in him avoiding us for 3 days! This resulted us in missing trips we were desperate to go on as we couldn’t book them as he avoided us! We didn’t book the excursion package as we didn’t want to do all the trips… we felt totally excluded. I didn’t know where to book them and when. We spent most of the time on the boat - I managed to book one Viator trip. I contacted Johnson’s holiday and ANC manager as this ruined our Nile cruise. Have had no response from Johnson’s holiday, the Nabilitan was certainly NOT 5 star - there were safety issues and food issues (D&v) where I told Ahmed AND Johnson holidays and had a dismissive response from Ahmed and NO response from Johnson’s. I just wanted to get off the boat by day 4. we were changed to this cruise a week before we left UK. Very disappointed with the lack of support AND felt very unsafe off the ship. We were scammed every day at shops and with people ‘pretending’ to be the chef from our ship and trying to drag us into spice shops. Never again. We are now on our way to x5 days at a hotel. Johnson holiday has pulled several customers out of our hotel because of poor reviews and food issues and put them in other hotels - but have left us there. I am now very nervous about going to this hotel for obvious reasons! I don’t think I will eat for the next 5 days if there are food issues - as reported by the customers who they moved. I also asked Johnson’s holiday if they would move us when we were on the ship - no response!
Please improve your communication.
