David was an efficient, sometimes too efficient, travel advisor to me as well as being an extremely helpful agent in so many ways; helping me with my travel arrangements for a 28 day cruise o/s, bookings, paperwork, additional flights, excursions and more which made my trip even more enjoyable than if I had had to do it all myself. Any problems I may have had before I left, he solved which being a solo traveller was most re-assuring for me. Thank you David!

I have just finished a 28 day Holland America cruise in Europe. It was a great experience and all organised by David. He is very knowledgeable on Cruises and also managed the air connections, transfers and Hotels as necessary. Very happy with his services and happy to recommend him for any travel agency arrangements.

David has great travel knowledge and arranged a brilliant South Pacific cruise for us, He is very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. The arrangements were flawless. Every question we asked about the cruise ship and the booking was addressed comprehensively and without delay. The cruise was our first experience of David's service and we could have wished for no better.

We found David such a professional & helpful travel advisor. His suggestions with our travel plans were all fantastic not to mention the accommodation he booked for the four of us in Japan. His knowledge on the Japanese rail travel was excellent which was so helpful.He always takes the time to speak with you & understands your requirements.We would highly recommend David to organize your next trip.

David was professional, efficient and helpful. My trip to two islands, with flights, accommodation and car hire, went smoothly. Any problems were minor and related to local Hawaiian issues.

The service David provided was efficient and prompt. He was able to source excellent accommodation and transport options for us (flights, trains and internal transfers) and was available at any time to assist should we have encountered (which we did not) any problems.

We are very grateful to David Lyons at Horizons Cruise and Travel our travel advisor for assisting us expertly to book our European travel arrangements including air flights, hotels, transfers and for recommending the Uniworld River Cruise.His recommendation ensured that we had an amazing top notch cruise. Everything onboard was excellent. Staff, entertainment, ambience & excursions all excellent. His recommendation to include the pre cruise package in Budapest was such a good idea after flying from Australia as it gave us time to get our bearings, Using the services of a top, experienced travel advisor ensured all our arrangements were expertly handled

David organised my husband and my trip to the USA from April to June this year. He organised everything from flights, accommodation and transfers for us. We had an issue while away and was able to contact him in the middle of the night and he was more than happy to sort it out for us. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to have someone organising everything for you.
Thank you David

David has to be the best travel agent I've ever dealt with. He goes the extra mile, has got a warm and positive personality and is an excellent communicator. I have booked all my recent holidays with David and will continue to do so.He also helped me get a flight back to Australia in December 2020 during the pandemic (which was a real mission, but he made it possible), as I was in Switzerland spending time with a family member in palliative care. I highly recommend David, he's the real deal.

David organised our Ski trip to Japan and his wealth of knowledge and contacts made the trip very much hassle free. We had 3 other families travelling and he organised all the travel for them as well. David was contactable at anytime throughout the trip, which was comforting to know, especially when we had flight issues on our return due to a medical emergency on the plane.
