TourRadar 5 star review on 14th November 2023

JOSE

"We haven't been home more than a week from Egypt and I already miss my Egyptian tour guides and friends from Beyond the Nile. The itinerary they put together along with the accommodations and personal availability made for a vacation of a lifetime. The Egyptian tour guides were all very educated on Egyptian history and did well at keeping our 17 people group enthralled. This was not accidental, the guys from Beyond the Nile are very interested in the performance of these tour guides. After the tours they were at the hotel and would ask about the tour guides and what we thought. This was very assuring for us. \r\nAs for the accommodations, the hotels and the cruise boat were very nice and we never had an issue with cleanliness. I will recommend that you bring Fabreeze for rooms as Egypt does allow smoking in rooms. My favorite hotel was the in Luxor as we had a front row view of the Nile at night with a great view of the Karnak Temple on the west bank lit up at night. \r\nNow let me talk about the overnight train from Cairo to Luxor. This is what I call an experience. My husband and I we made the best of this experience, however would we do it again..hmmm not sure. The train is managed by the government and although the porter does his best to help with your needs (food, drinks), the train compartments wreak of smoke (Fabreze) and the courters are not very big. Oh and you share a bathroom and it smells of urine. So, if you are up for that kind of experience then yes, if not upgrade for the flight. \r\nNow the tipping. If someone assists you with anything, they will ask for a tip. Although, you pay in advance for tips, you should get small Egyptian pound (5 or 10) so you can give them out. Even the excursions, although the guides are said to be tipping for group you will get whispers asking for more. It's completely up to you, but we just got small bills. \r\nClothing: well as a female I was concerned that I wore the RIGHT clothing. What i will say to this is if your Grandma wouldn't approve.. then don't wear it. Otherwise dress comfortably and try to avoid sandals at the pyramids (lots of sand between the toes) and if you choose a skirt wear shorts under incase you want to ride the camels. \r\nIf you are concerned about safety, I can honestly say I never felt concerned for my safety, well except for trying to cross streets (you will see what I'm referring to when you arrive). \r\nI hope you choose to go to Egypt and you won't be disappointed with this tour company they will set you up for a Trip of a Lifetime. You just need to be open to the opportunity. \r\nMust do's:\r\nBalloon ride\r\nGiza night show\/dinner (if option)\r\nMuseum of Civilization \r\nAbu Simbel \r\nTombs of Ramses IV and V in Valley of Kings \r\n\r\nFor the extra tours we did most of them and my favorite was the hot hair balloon ride over the Nile. This was such a surreal experience. At first, I thought of our safety, but I can assure you these guys are professionals. Once up in the air, I knew our captain knew his stuff. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! Prepare to be amazed by the sunrise over the Nile and the view of the Hatshepsut Temple. Another MUST is Abu Simbel, this is a 3hr ride one way, but worth it and it is a great time to catch up on some sleep. Originally we did not select for this trip, but Ahmed convinced us to go and he was 100% correct!"

Hi Alan, Thank you for your valuable feedback! We can see that you have received confirmation of your booking, but it seems your specific departure is not yet guaranteed, since some tour operators require minimum numbers to operate. There is still plenty of time for other travellers to join your group, so if your departure becomes guaranteed, we will certainly let you know. Further to this, we regret to hear you had some issues with our website. We'll be in touch with you directly to gather feedback about your booking experience and to provide any assistance required. We’re always keen to hear from our customers, as your feedback is vital to our constant improvement. We look forward to speaking with you! Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

Hi Gillian, Thank you kindly for your review. While we strive to provide the most up-to-date information on the availability of a tour, there can be a small delay on our site when availability changes in the operator’s reservation system. Holds and bookings are also made and cancelled multiple times a day for any given departure and this greatly affects the availability. For this reason, if it looks like the trip is close to being sold out, our dedicated Customer Service Team is more than happy to immediately reach out to the operator and confirm the most updated availability status. If the tour operator is not within your timezone, our Customer Service Team will confirm the availability status with the tour operator and get back to you within 24-48 hours. Should you have any questions or concerns about anything at all, feel free to give us a call or chat with us online at any time. Our friendly customer support team is available to assist you 24/7 by phone or instant chat! Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

“Though my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our 7 day Paris-Switzerland-Italy-Paris tour this summer that we booked on TourRadar, we were very upset to find that all the other people that we talked to on our tour paid less than half what we did. We paid $1,211 each, others paid $600 something for the exact same tour on Viator. TourRadar has a price guarantee, but it was our first tour and we didn't know how not to be scammed. Even right now the same tour we did, is on both sites at similar prices to above. Compare pricing!!”

Hi there Brittany, Thank you kindly for your review. We have had a look at the most current pricing for your tour and can see that it remains very close to the price you paid at the time of booking. Whilst TourRadar does not set the pricing for any tour, we would be more than happy to look into this further for you and bring your concerns to the attention of your tour operator. Since your operator directly sets the pricing you see on our website, they are in the best position to comment on this difference. We will follow up with you directly via your booking page as soon as we have further information. Best regards, The TourRadar Team

“Mixed response: we booked the listed optional activity only to be told we couldn't actually book that activity in advance. Hmm. We gave the code for the 5% discount for having traveled with G adventure before but it wasn't applied. Now I have to email about that.”

Hello Mia Kay, Thank you for taking the time to leave such great feedback! We have taken a look at your booking and can see that you were looking to add an amazing optional activity to the tour. It seems as though the operator has since made this activity available only while on tour. This gives you a bit more flexibility as you can decide while on tour if you would like to participate. Also, this makes sure that the payment goes directly to the local operator! As this will be your second trip with this specific operator, you are eligible for a 5% Loyalty Discount. As per the operator's terms, this discount cannot be combined with any other offers. You booked this tour with a huge 20% operator discount as well as further TourRadar savings! This will be a much better deal than taking the 5% Loyalty Discount! Thank you again for your feedback and we are sure that you will have a great time while on tour. Please let us know if you would like any further information or have any questions! Our Customer Support team is here and ready to help you 24/7, via phone, email and live chat!

“TourRadar operates as a middle man for your bookings. They tend to charge you first for the whole amount, and latter contact the vendo and check availability. When it comes to communication with the vendors, you are left on your own. They monior the converstaion without interuptins or interference. If the deal goes south - the vendor is to blame! Tried to book a sailing trip where the original listed price was at $500. Had to wait for 4 days from the vendor to get back with news that I must pay extra $250 - due to a "highly demanded week". OK, not to fuss I agreed. only to be contacted again with info that now, if I still wann go must pay for an cabin upgrade @ $1500 p/p... Happily canceled this resevation with the wannabe pirate, however still had to wait for 2 weeks for my funds refund. Again, TourRadar newer interfered ?!”

Hello Emil, Thank you for your sharing your booking feedback. You're absolutely correct, we are a marketplace for multi-day tours, but are not a tour operator. We connect travellers such as yourself, with tour operators all over the globe and the tours they have to offer, while providing you 24/7 customer service, competitive prices and the largest range of tours available online. We can confirm that all of the communication regarding your sailing trip was with our Travel Experts here at TourRadar. Unfortunately, the trip you requested to book was not able to accommodate another two travellers, so we worked with you to explore the alternative options. As we communicated in your booking page, your payment transaction was never executed, rather your funds were pre-authorised, pending the confirmation of your booking. As soon as we together, established that none of the alternatives we were able to offer (either cabin upgrade on your desired trip or alternative dates) would suit your travel plans, we released your pre-authorised funds which happened just two days after your original booking request was submitted. The standard time for pre-authorised funds to be released (by your bank) is 3 - 7 business days. We're disappointed to hear you feel that the service our TourRadar Travel Experts provided you, did not meet your expectations. We will be in touch with you directly to collect any further feedback you may have and remind you that our team is available 24/7 by phone or online chat should there be anything at all you need. Sincerely, The TourRadar Team

“It was so easy to book and the payment options worked well because we are two students traveling on a budget, However, there were incorrect dates offered to us and after paying for our down payment and booking flights based on our tour dates we were told it was offered by accident and we could change to another tour. We are now dealing with the repercussions of having to change flights and dates of accommodation that were based around the tour. Other than that it was a simple process and all the information given was relevant and helpful.”

“I booked (instant confirmation) a five day active adventure trip in Marrakech only for the tour operator failing to honor the booking due to apparently being sold out. This is despite the listing showing 10+ available spots on TourRadar for pretty much every day. Before booking, I confirmed with the operator that the booking would be guaranteed. I believe the entire point behind TourRadar is to provide a platform to easily see availability on their site and be able to plan a trip accordingly. My experience seems to counter that due to the false positive listings and ends up diminishing confidence in the reliability of this platform. Having said that, my sample size is one and it’s only fair to TourRadar that I give their platform another chance.”

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your booking experience. Many tour operators are responsible for manually adjusting the availability on our site for each departure, so we regret to hear that you’ve encountered some availability issues upon booking. While the tour operator has advised availability on a different departure date than the one the booking was placed under, it does appear that they have been responsive upon receiving your booking and have offered alternative departure dates to see if they fit within your travel plans. Thank you for your time and we will reach out to you directly for any additional feedback or questions you may have. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

Hey Jonathan, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We have had a look at your booking and can see that our Customer Support team answered all your questions and responded to all inquiries via email within 24 hours. If you are after an instant response, our team of Travel Experts are also available 24/7 via phone and Live Chat. As the booking platform, we take care of all your booking needs! On the off chance that our Customer Support team is not able to answer all your questions, we partner with the operator directly to find out for you. As we are available 24/7, some of our Operating Partners are not. This can lead to some small delays when additional information is required from the Tour Operator outside of their normal business hours. When booking with TourRadar, not only do we offer the “Best Price Guarantee”, 24/7 Customer support, but you also earn TravelCredits with every booking made. These TravelCredits can be used toward any future tours booked with TourRadar. You have booked a fantastic tour and there is no doubt that you will have a wonderful time while on tour.

“I am happy with the tour I booked but really frustrated with TourRadar as a middleman. There were lots of issues with the booking process that I haven’t experienced on other sites. The staff I dealt with were all wonderful but you should make the site easier to use and grant them the technology to resolve issues more quickly. ***edit: I would like to add that the company has been really responsive to my complaints in terms of getting feedback, calls, etc. I might use the site again if I could book something with a confirmation straight through. To explain a lil more: I found a tour I liked but the vendor couldn't confirm it right away, even though I called them. It took about 2-3 days to get it all nailed down and I ended up not getting the good flight I wanted as a result. Then TourRadar contacted me after I had booked my flight and dealt with the tour operator, and thought it was all done. However, TourRadar person told it wasn't confirmed yet and I needed to pay more, and messed up the discount code, so it took longer to book. In the end, I am happy TourRadar helps people connect with these trips but think the site should be simpler. If vendors want to sell a trip on there, they should sell it — the end. Don't tease me with a trip and then it can't be booked because I'm one person and then the dates change and then the extra charge because I'm one person doesn't go through, etc etc. Just really frustrating, especially when you are booking flights as well. HOWEVER, TourRadar does seem more concerned about customers' happiness than many other booking sites, in terms of outreach and customer happiness. I really, truly appreciate that because I've dealt with other booking sites that DGAF. So, if you've read this far you've gotten my full experience on the site. They have great trip options, the booking process isn't seamless, but maybe in the end you get a great trip booked at a great price :) *”

Hi there Lauren, We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback about your booking experience. We have had a look at your booking and can see that you placed a booking with one of our "self-service" operators. This means the operator handles all inquiries you send through, but for the protection of all travellers, TourRadar handles most of the pricing adjustments. To clarify, TourRadar works on a system whereby our operators send us notifications whenever assistance is needed during the booking process. This allows us to provide assistance as soon as possible and when necessary. However, this does mean that when an operator is closed for the day, delays can occur. We would like to remind you that we are available to help you with urgent inquries 24/7 via phone or live chat, so please do not hesitate to get in touch. In the meantime, any messages that you send on your booking page will be going directly to your operator to handle and respond to during their local business hours, depending where they are in the world. We hope that provides some clarity as to how TourRadar works and hope you are looking forward to the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you so much for choosing TourRadar.

“Easy to select the different offers. However, when you decide to book a program, it is not very transparent what is the price of the program considering there is a price in the leaflet but the price on the booking changes without a clear explanation. If that price change is related to exchange rate then it should be stated in a detailed way how does that works. After all the price is in Euros and it is not expected a change.

Hello Francisco, Thank you for your review and feedback. We regret to hear that there has been some confusion on the pricing of your booking and would like to take this time to review your concerns. To clarify, pricing of tours are affected by factors such as seasonality and availability and can vary depending on the departure date selected. Many tour operators we work closely with, are locally operated so there's no denying that exchange rates can also play a role in pricing variations as well. Specific to your booking, we recognize that there may be a pricing discrepancy and have started an investigation. We strive to provide you with an update shortly after the weekend.
