I have traveled with harry shaw all my life and i have never once had a bad experience, I cant stand people who complain about the holidays seriously what do you expect for the money. if you want 5 star lodgings then book that dont book onto a tour that says 2/3* hotel as you will only complain. above all that i know that many of the people on the tours that have complained are serial complainers and continue to travel with harry shaw. WHATS THE POINT !
i my self have been on many of the tours that have been complained about and have never found them to be as bad as some people make out, at the end of the day harry shaw want to be cheap and affordable which i think they accomplish.
Advantages: Easy to book- delivered what it said on the tin!! Disadvantages: Cost of airport transfers- cheaper to hire a car!
...a car ( off internet from Gerona airport ) for the duration, than to pay 2 coach transfers, which was clearly a possible "hidden" moneymaker for Harry Shaw!!.
Super seafront train direct to Plaza Catalynia -right in centre of Barcelona ( 1 hr) - so good went twice!! ...

My sister and myself have just come back from another wonderful Harry Shaw holiday to Austria. Hotels good value for money. Driver Wayne and hostess Annette were most obliging.Two of the passengers Brida and Maggie were good fun and help make the holiday. We had a full coach of passengers all with the exception of two were there for a good time.The two passengers seem to want to spoil it for everyone else-and complained all the time . The husband was not to bad if he was away fom her ,but she just looked down her nose at everyone. If they have travelled with Harry Shaw before the rest of the passengers say ban them from travelling again.

We stupidly booked a Harry Shaw coach tour to the Italian Riviera of Flowers. We should have smelt a rat as the description of the holiday (no named destination or hotel) was so so vague. The hotel turned out to be the Nuovo Bristol in Pietra Ligure. What a dump, no smoke detectors, no cooling (we were told to buy our own fan), dump of a room, horrible food. They even had the affront to charge 20 euros a day to use their beach. We rang HS to ask for an alternative hotel to no avail. After 3 nights unable to sleep due to heat and noise we booked out 4 days early and flew home. Be warned. Terrible experience, have an escape plan.

DON'T book with Harry Shaw unless you want to be let down. Along with 2 friends we booked several weeks ago to spend new year in Paris which we were really looking forward to. We paid the deposit and last week the final invoice arrived. A cheque was sent over the weekend, but on Tuesday (today) a letter arrives informing us the holiday is cancelled. Thank you very much DIRTY HARRY you'r a shaw looser, and a happy new year to you too.
