The BRISCO tour operator is a member of the international holding TH&C and for more than 10 years has been providing its clients with exclusive leisure opportunities.
The company began its history in 2004 under the name Lagina Travel. The first tours were organized in Turkey, and then in the United Arab Emirates. Over time, the company increased the number of destinations, and the holding opened its own hotels. Since 2012, the organization changed its name and to this day sells tours under the Brisco brand. Tour operator rating still has one of the highest.
Holidays with Brisco
Currently, TH&C holding owns 10 airbuses that operate flights from Moscow, Samara, Krasnodar, Mineralnye Vody, Saratov, St. Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don. Since May 2014, business class services on flights departing from Moscow are now provided by Brisco. The tour operator works in three popular areas: Egypt, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. In the spring of 2015, BRISCO intends to open new countries for itself - Spain and Greece.
Tourists who are going to relax in Turkey with this company are given the choice of their own hotels located in the most popular resorts of the country. These include: Euphoria Excelsior 4 *, Euphoria Tekirova Hotel 5 *, Porto Azzurro Delta 5 * and others.
“Best in Russia”, “Best in Moscow Region”, “Best in Moscow” - Brisco Company received these awards. The tour operator, reviews of which were left by millions of travelers, takes an active part in specialized exhibitions.
Turkey with Briscoe
The Briscoe host in Turkey is the Prince Group. Unfortunately, as in any profession, there are conscientious employees and not very. Therefore, the opinion of vacationers should be monitored by Brisco (tour operator). Reviews Turkey gets the most different.
“Briscoe” attracts vacationers with “tasty” prices. Often, tourists, despite the persuasion of the manager, choose vouchers for their cost, not paying attention to the inconvenient departure or bad reviews about the hotel. Arriving at the selected hotel, the vacationer is dissatisfied with what is happening. This is often justified dissatisfaction, such as poor service or poor quality food. He will, of course, turn to a company representative for a solution to the problem. The host, if available, will offer the vacationer a fee to move to another hotel. The tourist is not ready to pay extra for his vacation. In this regard, conflicts occur, and the impression of a vacation will have an unpleasant aftertaste.
The other side of the coin is extortion or an abhorrent attitude from company personnel. Often you can find negative reviews about how, after a tourist refused to purchase an excursion, the hotel guide began to be rude or avoid a vacationer. This is a direct violation of Brisco’s policies. The tour operator offers reviews in this case leave a telephone hotline in Turkey.
Tours in Turkey
The host in Turkey offers a large selection of excursions. These include:
- Peace - Kekova - St. Nicholas (sunken city);
- Pamukkale;
- yacht tour;
- jeep safari;
- dolphinarium;
- aquapark;
- moto safari and others.
The tour in Pamukkale has a separate place. Many tourists daily seek to get to the "Cotton Castle" (translated from Turkish). Waters from warm thermal springs, rich in mineral salts, have formed snow-white lime terraces that look like a fantastic castle over the thousands of years of their existence. During this tour you will be offered to swim in the ancient Cleopatra basin. It is believed that the Queen of Egypt came to these thermal springs to rejuvenate and improve her health. Despite the fact that the pool is shallow, it is very interesting to swim in it, since the ruins of the columns lie at the bottom. Bathing is paid, which should be warned during the purchase of the tour. It is worth noting that the 2014 reviews of the Brisco excursion program are much better than the previous year.
The trip to Pamukkale is very long and exhausting. Tourists are picked up early in the morning, so if you have purchased a day trip, you will return to the hotel late at night. A round trip takes about 12 hours. If the tour is well organized, and the guide is a connoisseur of his craft, you will certainly get an incredible experience.
Egypt with Briscoe
In Egypt, Meeting Point is hosted by Brisco. Reviews on the work of the company in this country are diverse. Despite the fact that Egypt has a tense political situation, it invariably attracts tourists with its history, ancient monuments and warm sea.
There is an opinion that we ourselves create our mood, so do not spoil the rest, looking for something to complain about. Often you can see skirmishes between tourists and company representatives about overpriced prices. Vacationers are trying to prove to employees that it is better to buy excursions on the street. The employee proves the opposite by all means, especially since he cannot influence pricing. The more attacks from the tourist, the more fiercely the guide defends his work. Everyone has the right to decide for himself where it is calmer to get a tour, and you should not convince others of his innocence. Thus, tourists themselves cause anger. It must be remembered that you arrive to rest, so you should not waste time on squabbles.
Egypt Wedding Ceremony
Egypt is an incredible country, which come for the sea, the sun, history and pleasure. In addition, the unique climate and special coloring push our fellow citizens to romantic actions. Young people come to Egypt to hold a symbolic wedding organized by Brisco in this ancient country. The tour operator reviews the ceremonies is extremely positive.
Many are interested in holding such a celebration. Moreover, wedding photos will be replete with magnificent views and fill the hearts with warm memories of the ceremony and the country. You can organize a holiday not on the beach, as everyone is used to, but in a fabulous tent in the middle of the desert. All the nuances of the organization are taken over by Brisco - a tour operator, reviews of 2014 about which inspire young people to such a ceremony.
A considerable number of future newlyweds give preference to a wedding ceremony in the Karnakh temple, which is the best suited for such an event because of its beauty and luxury. In addition, it is a holy place where twice a year marriages are held in accordance with an ancient ritual. The bride and groom are dressed in national clothes, as in ancient centuries. About 50 couples participate in such a ceremony annually.
UAE with Briscoe
The UAE has long been one of the popular destinations from Brisco. The tour operator reviews in this area is very good. Over the past quarter century, the country has changed dramatically. Cities have changed - ancient oriental views have been replaced by modern megacities. This country has mixed the styles of East and West, which is incredibly amazing.
The state consists of 7 emirates: Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Fujairah. The capital of the UAE is the city of Abu Dhabi. In the Emirates you will find some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, for example, the Burj al-Arab in the form of a sail, which is located in Dubai. In the UAE you can visit the most sophisticated restaurants and the best spa centers, breathtaking water parks and the most modern shopping centers.
This country provides a unique opportunity for sports: figure skating, sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, golf.
The company offers its tourists a vacation both in budget hotels and in the most luxurious. Holidaymakers in the Emirates most often choose city hotels offered by Brisco. The tour operator offers them because of the affordable price, the proximity of the beach and attractions. It is worth knowing that the city "treshki" in terms of reviews are in no way inferior in service and hospitality to more expensive hotels.

Employee reviews about their work
Tour operator Brisco employee reviews values no less than tourist reviews. Leadership is trying to create the most comfortable working environment. Customer service managers are experienced and highly qualified, which allows you to quickly solve problems.
Employee reviews vary both about their work and the work of Briscoe in general. Firstly, each region has its own problems that complicate the activities of a manager. Secondly, Russia is now in an economic crisis, which will certainly affect the tourism business and the decrease in the number of Brisco customers. The tour operator calculates the salary of the manager, depending on his sales, which at the moment may not suit the employee very much. However, in general, subordinates are satisfied with their work and organization of company tours, and in case of problems they try to find a way out that suits both sides.
The situation in the tourism market
Due to the strong fall of the ruble, many travel agencies were on the verge of bankruptcy. Even the largest tour operators could not stand the current situation.
There have been rumors of bankruptcy about Brisko all year because the company offered popular destinations at low prices. However, the company managed to survive. At the moment, Brisco is a tour operator whose rating is considered one of the highest in the Russian market. This opinion is shared by both tourism workers and vacationers.
Therefore, do not be afraid to relax through the Brisko travel company, boldly pack your bags and fly towards your dream!
