TRAVELLING- IT LEAVES YOU SPEECHLESS, THEN TURNS YOU INTO A STORYTELLER -Ibn Battuta   Riding on an open bamboo train and watching the magnificent Ankor Wat emerge through the darkness as the dawn breaks in Cambodia, diving The Great barrier reef in Australia, white water rafting on the mighty Zambezi River, close encounters with rhinos and walking with lions in Zimbabwe, high tea in The Victoria Falls Hotel, popping my head out of my tent to be met with an enormous elephant staring me in the face in Luangwa National Park Zambia, dancing with Masai warriors in Kenya, sand-boarding on the awesome dunes in Namibia, haggling at the night markets in Stonetown Zanzibar, watching the African sun setting over the vast plains of the Serengeti, a hairy motorbike ride through the favelas of Rio, Tango in Buenos Aires, braving minus 20 degrees Celsius high up on the Antiplano and mountain biking down the infamous Death Road in Bolivia........The stories go on and on but they have to begin somewhere and no better place to start than SAYIT Travel Cork! I have been booking flights, holidays and travel insurance with SAYIT Travel Cork for over a decade. We live in an age where everything can now be booked online from the comfort of your own home so why use a travel agent? I think the reason I go back to SAYIT Travel Cork time and time again is because of the relationship that I have built up with the company over the years and that really is down to the efforts of the staff and in particular the assistant manager Louise Chappell. I have always found SAYIT Travel to be reliable, efficient, professional and competitive. Whether it is getting the best deal on price, managing flight connection times, booking pre or post tour accommodation it is done with interest and enthusiasm. Overlanding is a wonderful way of seeing the world. There are so many different overlanding companies and choosing the right one for you can be difficult so it is always reassuring to have SAYIT recommend a great company like Intrepid Travel or Dragoman. SAYIT is a company that I trust and I know that my booking is in good hands but it is the personal touch that stands out more than anything. It is so nice to walk into the office and be recognised instantly, to be asked how I enjoyed my last trip or to have my current booking already on the screen. Over the years Louise at SAYIT Travel Cork has taken the time to get to know me and that makes booking through SAYIT such a positive and stress free and personalised experience.
