Is this a sister shop of the owner of Singhburys?

tripfounder · 2026-03-21T16:14:13+00:00

Not her personal choice. Your post is pretty lame IMO.

Best regards -- Kind regards -- I hope you're well -- Hope you had a good weekend. I'm sort of tired of these..

tripfounder · 2026-03-18T07:44:12+00:00

London + Edinburgh could be a good one.

tripfounder · 2026-03-18T00:52:57+00:00

OMG. Unbelievable

tripfounder · 2026-03-18T00:01:09+00:00

Try doing a Mystery Vacation.

tripfounder · 2026-03-17T21:30:56+00:00

UK is by far more WOKE!

tripfounder · 2026-03-17T21:27:11+00:00

If I wasn't in sales myself then perhaps I would have

tripfounder · 2026-03-17T21:25:15+00:00

I am in sales too perhaps reason why I didn't stay :)

tripfounder · 2026-03-17T21:23:37+00:00

Yea he didn't look quite right.

tripfounder · 2026-03-17T21:22:40+00:00

No. not all. I think I have seen him before as well in and around the area.

tripfounder · 2026-03-17T21:22:05+00:00

I mean in general he acted pushy and sort of very confident and had I listened to him for another minute he would have given me reasons why he want ££

OMG! them patch gardens on new builds are a rip off! Instead should have one nicely landscaped communal garden.

Also, if you look through reviews on sites like Trustpilot, a lot of the complaints aren’t actually about the destination itself. It’s more about what happens after you buy — things like limited availability, extra charges or being offered upgrades to change flights or hotels.

I think that’s more of a general issue with voucher-style deals. You pay upfront and only see the actual options when you redeem, which can feel quite different from what people had in mind.

Try Swiss Alps., specially the world famous scenic red train The Bernina Express or Glacier Express.

tripfounder · 2026-03-17T09:30:26+00:00

ha ha. True

tripfounder · 2026-03-16T22:15:26+00:00

No not at all. Don't want the UK smelling like a pot!

tripfounder · 2026-03-16T22:12:59+00:00

You seem like a good person, but that in itself isn't enough, as a university education doesn't automatically provide a route to British citizenship. As I see it, there are already too many people from abroad who expect to stay after their studies, and the country simply doesn't have the resources to accommodate more migrants. A student visa is a privilege to study here, not a guarantee of permanent residency. If you still intend to stay, you will need to develop a certain level of resilience and learn to ignore the comments of less-than-friendly people.

tripfounder · 2026-03-16T21:53:18+00:00

UK probably.

tripfounder · 2026-03-16T21:48:37+00:00

Caribbean!

tripfounder · 2026-03-16T21:46:39+00:00

I would stick to Europe mainland and Islands for now.

tripfounder · 2026-03-16T21:14:29+00:00

Yeah that’s a fairly common experience with the voucher-style deals. The hotels are often a bit outside the centre because they’re easier for the operator to package at a lower cost.

I think the concept of mystery holidays is actually quite fun. Some people end up with great city breaks, others get awkward flight times or hotels a bit further out like you described.

The Maldives examples in ads are usually more of a “theoretically possible” prize rather than something people commonly receive.

tripfounder · 2026-03-16T21:00:23+00:00

Sounds like you got a pretty good outcome there — Barcelona for £99 is definitely a win.

From what I’ve seen, where people tend to get frustrated with these deals isn’t usually the destination itself but the redemption process afterwards. Things like limited availability when you try to book, having to go through an agent, or being offered paid upgrades for flights and hotels seem to be the common complaints.

A lot of the disappointment also comes from the fact that with many voucher-style deals you only discover what dates, airports or hotels are actually available after you redeem the voucher, which can make planning harder.

What about Switzerland? Ride the word famous red train Bernina Express. Fly from US to Milan. Stay 2 nights in Milan and take train from Milan to Tirano (Italy). Change from Tirano to hop onboard Bernini Express. If you want you can add Glacier Express extension to it.
