UTravel. Anyone used this company?

Hi folks,

anyone any experience with this travel company based in Aston Quay in Dublin? Am looking at using them for an adventure holiday in south america.

My only experience so far is to order a brochure from them online....which has not arrived 2 weeks later...... not a good start.

Theyre pretty good. A little slow on brochure too but their prices were good

Do you mean the USIT student travel agent on Aston Quay ?

Same company, Utravel is long haul

I have used them in the past & found that unless you are going on a complicated itinerary, the best thing to do is to book directly yourself.
I use the www.dublinairport.com location finder to see who flies directly to where & then www.tripadvisor.com to select a hotel I want to stay in.
Their surcharges for booking flights can be quite expensive and I have found that they can be slow in responding to queries.

Regarding travel with USIT , I used USIT www.usit.ie to get a J1 visa to the USA a good few years ago and I think http://www.sayit.ie were always much cheaper for everything including the visa I paid for and Sayit has a range of round the world and adventure trips also.

It might be worth your while checking out Sayit and comparing the deals.
