Excellent service - Abu Bakrs service was professional and efficient. Sorted my mother’s Umrah Visa out within 48 hours.
We went with Hashim Travel for Umrah in August 2025 as a group of around 21. Unfortunately wasn’t the best experience, we felt going without a group would have been better. The ziyarats were rushed and most of the places we only saw from the coach window. We were told that the ziyarat would be in English and even specified to the leaders that because there were a lot of younger people in the group that we wanted them to be on English and they said they would but neither Makkah or Madinah ziyarats were in English. We were told that the climb up Jabal Al-Nour was going to be 3 hours and then 3 hours down which scared the majority of us especially as we had planned an umrah the next day but the minimal people who went said it took them anywhere between 30-60 minutes. We weren’t shown around in Makkah or Madinah despite on the coach them telling us they will show us around in Madinah. They did walk us to the green dome on the first night but that was it as far as them helping us went. Coaches for ziyarats always set off later than expected due to drivers getting there late?! The group did not cater to the fact we had young kids in the group ( one child under 2 and one 12 year old with special needs ) . As soon as we got to Makkah they gave us half an hour to unpack and get ready before meeting up to read Fajr and do the first Umrah. Half of the group didn’t go with the group and ended up going later ourselves because of the little children but we were told that the group would not be rushing to go do their umrah so fast and would wait a few hours for the kids to get some rest and just sort ourselves out after a nearly 24+ hour journey.
Went Umrah with Hashim Travels from 12th- 24th of August and the group leaders were amazing. They showed us all around Makkah and Madina and we learnt all the new stuff and they took us to All the Ziyarats and would 100% recommend going again with this group
I travelled with Hashim Travels for hajj 2025. My experience was beautiful. We were a small group which I felt was very good. Group leaders were able to support all of us and meet our needs all through our journey. The ziarayats were informative. The service I received was 10/10. I would recommend Hashim Travels.
I recently had the pleasure of using Hashim Travel, and I couldn't be more impressed. Their customer service is consistently excellent, with a team that is always on point and incredibly helpful. They handle not just travel arrangements but also offer money exchange services and the ability to send money abroad for various transactions. Whether I had questions or needed assistance, they were quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. If you’re looking for a travel agency that truly cares about its customers, I highly recommend Hashim Travel. They make every step of your journey enjoyable and stress-free!
