Hjerting Travel
BackHjerting Rejser is a small Danish travel agency based in Nyborg, which is mainly aimed at mature travelers and seniors who want peace, security and personal contact rather than mass charters and standard solutions. The agency profiles itself as specialists in long-term trips to southern Spain in particular, and there is much evidence that a large proportion of customers return several times because they experience that the agreements are respected and that the practicalities are under control from first contact to return home.
An important part of Hjerting Rejser's profile is that they focus on travel for the 60+ segment and single travelers who want to experience the world in the company of others in the same life situation. Their concept of senior travel and special single trips 60+ makes it possible to travel alone without feeling alone, because you already know from home that you are sharing a vacation with others who are also traveling without a partner. At the same time, the agency works with fixed destinations and hotels that they use again and again, which provides a certain routine and predictability that many customers appreciate.
Customers often describe their experience with Hjerting Rejser as safe and uncomplicated. A number of reviews highlight that the communication prior to departure is clear, that there is a short wait time on the phone, and that the employees seem patient, professionally strong and genuinely interested in finding the solution that suits the individual customer. Several guests point out that the agency takes the time to explain options, change dates and take individual considerations into account, which is especially important for older travelers who may have special needs. This human approach is one of the strongest aspects of Hjerting Rejser.
Safety during travel is a recurring theme in the reviews. Customers who have had long-term stays in places like Fuengirola or Benalmádena say that everything “goes smoothly” from the flight to the transfer, accommodation and return home. Several accounts describe how the agency handles unforeseen situations – for example, changed travel plans during corona lockdowns – by providing quick information, rebooking tickets and ensuring that guests get home safely. For the target group Hjerting Rejser targets, this practical and caring handling is a significant reason why many choose to travel with them again.
Hjerting Rejser primarily offers trips to Spain, especially the Costa del Sol and other parts of southern Spain, where the climate and infrastructure are well suited to longer stays for seniors. In destinations such as Fuengirola and Torremolinos, the same partner hotels are often used, such as Hotel El Puerto on the seafront, where many long-term travelers stay for several weeks at a time. The combination of coastal location, half board and the possibility of excursions with a Danish-speaking tour guide means that customers experience a good balance between independence and shared activities.
As a travel agency specializing in longer stays, Hjerting Rejser emphasizes that the hotels offer practical settings for everyday life abroad: cleaning, stable catering, elevators and easy access to the beach, promenade, shops and public transport. Customers describe Hotel El Puerto as clean and well-functioning with an attractive location directly on the beach and a roof terrace with a pool, bar and sea view. For many of Hjerting Rejser's guests, this location and simple comfort outweigh luxury and spectacular decor, and therefore the hotel choice appears to be complete in relation to the target group.
At the same time, there are nuanced assessments of the quality of the hotels that Hjerting Rejser uses. Some customers say that the food at certain hotels can be experienced as monotonous over longer stays, and that some facilities appear a bit dated, although the cleaning is generally in order. This emphasizes that the agency typically works with solid mid-range hotels, where the focus is on functionality, location and price level rather than exclusive luxury. For potential customers, it is relevant to be aware that hotel standards and cuisine can vary between destinations, even when the trips are marketed as retirement trips or long-term vacations.
Another common element in Hjerting Rejser's concept is that many trips include excursions with a Danish-speaking tour guide. Customers talk about city walks, local tours and full-day excursions, which are included or can be purchased, and several praise the guides for their commitment, knowledge and ability to create social interaction among the participants. At the same time, there are descriptions of individual trips where the program has felt too tight, and where the participants experienced being pressed too much in terms of time, among other things because the bus transport was only booked for a limited period of time. Here, the reviews show that the quality of the experience can depend on both planning and individual expectations of pace.
Hjerting Rejser markets itself as a travel agency that adapts the trip to the customer and not the other way around, and many people actually experience a high degree of flexibility. There are reports that the agency helps with special requests for rooms, handles problems with accommodation at the destination and is responsive when customers suggest changes in hotel choices or type of trip for the future. At the same time, it is important to be realistic: as a smaller agency, they are bound by agreements with specific hotels and airlines, and therefore not all requests for itinerary, dates or room types can be fulfilled. For potential customers, this means that it is advantageous to be clear about needs already when booking.
A big plus for Hjerting Rejser is that many reviews highlight the personal and present telephone service. Customers describe short waiting times, friendly employees and the feeling of talking to people who know the products and have visited the destinations themselves. In addition, it is highlighted that the agency often follows up if changes or challenges arise – for example, in the event of illness, changed flight times or unforeseen conditions at the destination. For older travelers who may not be comfortable with arranging everything digitally, this human contact can be a decisive reason for choosing a specialized senior travel agency rather than booking a standard package online.
On the other hand, the strong orientation towards the 60+ segment can be a limitation for other customer groups. Younger travelers and families with children will often find that the selection of destinations and hotels is targeted at an older target group with a focus on peace, long stays and socializing rather than activities for children or nightlife. In addition, the pricing for longer stays can seem high compared to putting together your own trip, although the extra security, the included elements and the Danish service will for many make up for this difference.
Hjerting Rejser also offers single trips, where single seniors can share meals, excursions and experiences with each other. The concept is particularly popular among those who travel without a partner, but would like to have a social setting and events on site. These trips often include joint welcome meetings, arranged walks and excursions, where it is easy to get into conversation with others, and many describe that they have made new friends along the way. For potential customers considering a single trip 60+ , it is relevant to be prepared to be part of a community, where participation in social activities can fill part of the stay.
Overall, a picture emerges of Hjerting Rejser as a travel agency that has found a clear niche within senior travel , long-term stays and travel to Spain, especially in coastal destinations with good infrastructure for older guests. The strongest points are the personal service, the safe handling of the internship and the clear focus on the needs of the 60+ segment, including single travelers. The weaknesses are primarily that hotel standards and food experiences can vary, that some excursions can be too compressed, and that the selection of destinations and concepts is relatively narrow if you are looking for completely different types of travel.
For future customers considering using Hjerting Rejser, the agency can be a strong choice if you want a structured retirement trip with Danish service, a relaxed pace and the opportunity for social interaction at the destination. It is recommended to read recent reviews, find out about the specific hotel at the chosen destination and be open about your own needs when booking, so that expectations and reality come as close to each other as possible. In this way, Hjerting Rejser can become a reliable partner for many new and experienced travelers when planning their next longer winter stay or sun holiday.
