I recently used Travel to Fairs to help me search for a hotel for a group of colleagues attending Bauma 2022 and my whole experience was very positive. Michelle Adams, my agent gave some very good suggestions and options for hotels near to the venue and in the centre of Munich. Michelle's communication with me was excellent and always very helpful. I would highly recommend t2f to anyone booking for an event.

Dear Tess,
The client liked the hotel, we had transfers and shuttles and it worked very well.
Now, they are already looking for next CPHI in Milan.
Tess Nolan already sent rates and hotels and I’m waiting for their decision.
Always a pleasure to work with Travel to fairs.
Best regards,

Hello Tess,
All went fine, we enjoyed the hotel due to its walking distance location, but the only downside was the breakfast.

Dear Megan,
Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.
I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.
Med venlig hilsen/best regards
