The Sunday Times
‘There is but a handful of PR agencies in the travel industry you can rely on to know exactly what you require for an article, to collate the information without loading it with extraneous detail and to deliver it on time, often when up against a tight deadline, in an appropriate format. citruspr is definitely one of them. Which is why they are a first port of call.’
Rob Ryan, Staff Travel Writer

I am confident that if any problems were to have cropped up they would have been dealt with effectively and efficiently. In the high-pressure work that I do being able to rely on capable people is greatly valued.  I look forward to working with them again.’

Journalists - Ireland
The Irish Times
‘There are an awful lot of people in the Travel PR business but not many of them are as pleasant to work with as those at citruspr.  I took up the job of travel editor in January, was immediately contacted by citruspr who sent a team to visit our office, and let me know all about their clients.  After that they got in touch frequently and as a result we have carried several stories in recent months.  One of the IT features journalists has just been on a press trip with citruspr in Tanzania, and it sounds as though it was a wonderful experience.  It was extremely well organised she said, and I know that I am going to get great copy from her. citruspr are also excellent and sending good quality pics at short notice and the impression I get is that they are extremely hard working and available all that time, which is a blessing for editors.’  
Orna Mulcahy, Travel Editor

The Irish Times
‘My experience as an Irish journalist on a press trip to Tanzania in September 2010 to visit The Selous Safari Company, organised by citruspr, was overwhelmingly positive. The schedule showcased the best that the client had to offer, and was done at a pace that was both enjoyable and manageable. From my perspective as a reporter on assignment for my newspaper’s travel supplement, it was a thoroughly professional experience from initial contact by email to the end of the trip itself.’
Rosita Boland, Staff Features Writer
