Hi George
Apologies for the late reply.
Am doing well thank you and am glad to meet you on line.
Yes, everyone is back from the show and this is the 2nd time that the group has stayed at Le Marceau Bastille. With that I would say that they continue to be satisfied with the accommodation particularly the location of the hotel. For info the 1st time they stayed there was in 2022 .
As always we appreciate very much the assistance that George and the team has extended continuously . Truly glad for each time that I arrange with your group for our hotel requirements, the details are well looked after.
The next event will be on Oct 2025 for the Anuga 2025 in Cologne . Would note that George and myself are already set with the accommodation of the EP group ie. Hotel has been picked and deposit have been paid.
I believe above points sums up our experience both with the hotel and T2F’s service.
Wishing you a great day
Kind Regards,
Ruth

Hello, Thanks to travel2fair company, we could manage our accomodation in Florence, a city we had no prior knowledge about. The hotel was great, the staff was helpful. The view and the location of the hotel was amazing. Also travel2fair staff was also very careful and helpful. They kept checking on us prior to our trip and after the trip to see if we have/had any problem. I am so satisfied with the service I got.

Dear George,
thanks for you mail.
Everything went very well!! We have really appreciated your fast action in solving our issue to reinstate a cancelled reservation for new guests.
The only “negative” thing was that there was not possibility to have dinner in the hotel, but my team solved going out.
We will be very glad to ask for your help for future reservation.
Thank you and kind regards

Dear Tom,
Hope you are well.
I wanted to say thank you for your helps for the hotel reservation during A+A 2023.
I would like to know, if you can do any price offer to us for 2025, if we use again your agency.
We are very satisfied with your service, but as we are hiring more people and getting bigger group, if we can reduce the cost per night, it would be grateful.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, My contact person was Tom Parker and our communication from the past year was just perfect. He helped us to book rooms for our whole team. When I had issues/questions, etc. Tom always replied immediately. He offered us several hotels, as well the Pentahotel where we stayed. This hotel was lovely. Personnel was very friendly and helpful, rooms were nice, breakfast was good and we had the opportunity to eat in our hotel for diner which was amazing after such a long day at the airshow. Had a very good experience and will certainly work with you again for upcoming fairs.
Kind Regards

Dear Tom,
The trip went quite well. We only had one issue because our team was late for the check in on Friday and they couldn’t reach the hotel by phone.
There was just an answering machine in German and that was not useful, but they had no problem checking in in the end.
They’ve told me the hotel was nice and everything ran smoothly so thank you for all the support.
Best regards
