Working with Michelle from Travel to Fairs is pure pleasure. We had the opportunity to cooperate on several trips to the fair and all the hotels in which we had reservations met our expectations. We feel well taken care of and we will definitely use their services in the future.

Im really sorry for the delay. The trip was fine and the hotel really great.
Just a problem about the room with the twins beds… in fact, the hotel didn’t provide this kind of room so… Thierry and Romain had to sleep in the same bed…

We worked with Tom Parker at Travel2Fair and couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. He was most professional and responsive and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
I had been looking for a hotel for our employees for the Agritechnica fair for a while.
By chance I came across the traveltofairs site and got in touch with George.
Very nice and clear contact and quick answers made sure that a hotel was booked very quickly.
Definitely more than satisfied and also the hotel was definitely okay! I will definitely contact traveltofairs in the future.
