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!"

Hello Preslava, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we are happy to hear that the booking process was easy, we are sorry you did not receive the booking confirmation. We can see that a confirmation email of the tour has been sent at the time of booking, and that your operator contacted you a few hours after that. So it seems that our emails may have ended up in your mailbox. We will be in touch with you shortly to direct you to your confirmed booking page. Should you have any question, feel free to give us a call - our Customer Support team is available 24/7. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

“Note: BECAREFUL when TOURRADAR advertises SALE, It doesn't always mean you get the best price. I received email from tourradar advertising about the sale was going on for limited period of time. Then I hurry book a tour with tourradar during that sale period which I thought I got the best price & I didn't want to miss the deal. BUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? About a week after, the tour price that I book became cheaper than the sale price. The WORSE at the same time I found at different website exactly the same tour with the same departure date was cheaper than tourradar. I called tourradar asking about their best price warranty, they said my tour was already confirmed about a week ago so they couldn't match the price. I travel the world joining the tour every year in the last 15 years but this is my 1st experience with tourradar & I'm DISAPPOINTED.”

Hi Nuria, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We have had a look at your booking and can see that the price you paid for your tour remains the same as the day you placed your booking. We believe there has been a misunderstanding here and will follow up with you shortly via your booking page to hopefully clear any confusion surrounding this. Our Best Price Guarantee is certainly always available to all passengers at the time of booking. Should you find a better price elsewhere, we will always be more than happy to apply a price match, provided that your tour has not yet been confirmed. We look forward to speaking with you soon. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

“They changed the tour description of my Africa after I booked, so I contacted them. Here's an excerpt of the ensuing conversation. I believe it's illustrative of the way they treat customers. 2nd October 2019 TourRadar: "Hello Nathan, Thanks for getting in touch with us and your questions about your booking. We didn't change the text since you booked, Nathan We realise that it might be disappointing that you din't notice it earlier but hope you will enjoy you trip and have a fantastic time!" Me: "You did change the text. " 7th October 2019 TourRadar: "Hi Nathan, Thank you for your reply. I can assure you that neither TourRadar or the tour operator, Absolute Africa have changed the text in the itinerary." Me: Had to send PROOF they changed the text on their website 8th October 2019 Finally stated he obvious with no regret and no apology. TourRadar: "We can also see from the screenshot you have attached that the wording of those inclusions have changed since the time you have booked the tour." However, they were glad to pass the blame. We do regret that the opportunity for you to provide this supporting evidence earlier, was missed. "[Absolute Africa] would like to apologize for that confusion, and thank you for your feedback, that will help in improving the description for the next travellers." Me: Sill no apology for how Tour Radar reps treated me? Nope. They blamed me instead TourRadar: "We do regret that the opportunity for you to provide this supporting evidence earlier, was missed." No apology”

Hello Nathan, Thank you for your review. Your issue has been escalated to our customer relations department, however we sincerely apologise for the mishandling of your original issue. This was human error and the agents who were in contact with you have been coached as to how they might handle a situation like this more effectively. We have also worked with the operator of your tour to rectify the issue in their description of the tour listing on TourRadar to avoid any further confusion in the future. We are hopeful we may have an opportunity to offer you a superior booking experience in the future. Sincerely, The TourRadar Team

“Be very careful booking if your tour is with Wonder Travel. I was advised our tour was cancelled 4 days before we were to depart. Not good enough. We did receive our money back but our costs for getting to Montreal, where the tour was departing from and accomodation are lost. They won't reimburse all/part of these costs. We then had to make alternate arrangements for the next 5 days before our next tour was to commence. Previous messages from them indicate they usually know 2 weeks in advance if tour will go ahead and when I questioned them about this the reply was childlike: Hello, I am sorry. We said, it was usually. And if you ask us 2 weeks before the departure again, we may give you the certain answer. But you have not asked us. Thanks 31st October 2019 Not very professional.”

Hi there, Thank you for your review. We have had a look at your booking and regret to see that there has been some confusion surrounding the correct pricing for your tour. We can see that one of our agents sent you an accurate quote for your desired departure date upon request when you inquired with us prior to booking. This agent advised that you can go ahead and submit your booking request online once you are ready. You then independently placed your booking online, which was confirmed according to our standard procedure. We can see that since then, various agents have been corresponding with you via your booking page to advise that the price you saw at the time of booking was the correct price for your departure date. We will continue with the conversation with you here and hope to be able to clear up this misunderstanding. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

“The price on Tourradar is keep on changing every day. Normally it changes during the noon time. There is no certainty about the frequent change. I was interested in a tour, but hesitate to book before I could confirm my ticket, but during the 3 days, the rate of this tour changed 4 times ( From Friday - Monday). So I give up booking via Tourradar, better book direct with the tour operator.”

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to review TourRadar. TourRadar works with over 2,000 different tour operators with 37,000 tours worldwide to bring you the biggest selection of scheduled, multi-city group tours. Each tour operator sets the pricing for each of their tours. For this reason, TourRadar cannot predict or change the pricing. The price is always subject to change and can change on a daily basis. Waiting for a price drop has you running the risk of missing out on your place on your prefered departure date due to availability, which is not dissimilar to the airline industry. Our customer support team is available 24/7 to confirm tour details and pricing if there is ever any uncertainty. A member of the customer support team will directly reach out to you to discuss your review and provide further assistance. Regards, The TourRadar Team

“This is a terrible company with a poorest customer service I ever had. I bought tour a week ago and leaving on October 7th. I left 5-6 messages on their website trying to get in touch with Iglesias Travel which is a tour operator for Tourradar in Turkey.I wanted to know when and who will pick me up on first day of the tour and I have no response. I call 5 times but no customer service rep was able to give me any helpful information and all they can do is to send email to the Operator who is not responding. I asked several times to speak with the Manager:"not available","he will not be able to help more than we do"...it's a terrible customer service and no one taking ANY responsibility:this is a poorest customer service I EVER had traveling over 15 years”

Hi Marina, We are saddened and regret to hear that you feel the customer service provided by TourRadar or the Tour Operator, has not met your expectations or requirements. Tour Operators sometimes stand on opposite time-zones to their customers and we advise that response times to an email can vary depending on the time of day the queries are received by their office. However, we can see that your inquiry has since been escalated to a senior member of our team who has reached out to you personally. We will endeavor to follow up with you as soon as possible regarding the information you have requested. Best Regards, The TourRadar Team

Hi Liljana, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are sorry to hear that your operator Expat Explore did not have your name on the list when starting the tour. They did send out a confirmation as well as an e-ticket, that we have then forwarded to you, so that should definitely not have happened! We are however glad this misunderstanding could be quickly resolved, and that you could join your tour without further problems. We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your travels to Europe with Expat Explore.

“I am very disappointed with Tourradar. I had googled Greenland for solo travellers & they had two (what seemed to be Amazing) tours on offer. The price was presented as a solo traveller price. When I contacted them to double check this they then told me there was a single supplement and that the dates that the website were showing as available actually were not. What a complete waste of my time. TourRadar can you please ensure that you are clear about pricing and you need especially to address your solo traveller link!!!”

Hi Petra, Thank you for your review. We regret to know that you felt disappointed upon learning that there is a mandatory single supplement for the trip you are interested in. To clarify, some operators will require a minimum of 2 passengers per booking, but the operator for the trip you were looking at accepts solo travellers. This means that the trip will show up in search results for solo travellers. However, the starting price is based on twin share and this is reflected on the booking page where travellers are able to view different cabin prices for single or double occupancy. We can see that our dedicated cruise team is currently looking into the availability of a single cabin for your desired departure date and will follow up with you via email as soon they have further information. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

“There is a party of 3 ladies booking a tour with TourRadar. I was advised that the booking should be placed under one name so that everyone will be travelling together. We are all prepared to pay for our trip with our own credit card. I was told only one credit card would be accepted for the deposit charge. Each person could input their credit card information so that the remaining payment for the tour is charged to each person individually. This WAS not the case! The deposit was made on my credit card for the 3 of us. The final payment cost was shown on my credit card also. I requested a summary for the cost for this tours for each of us individually. This was not done! I understand booking the tour for all 3 people under one name BUT we should be able to pay individually with our own credit card....the deposit and the final payment. I have personally booked other tours with other guest and each person was able to pay the deposit and the final payment for their cost of the tour with their own credit card. Evelyn Wolfe”

Hi Evelyn, Thank you for your review. We have had a look at your booking and can see that the link to your booking page with a full price breakdown was sent to you, along with instructions for how to add additional credit cards for the final payment. Since you have not added your friends' credit cards to the booking, the default payment method is still showing as your credit card at this time. Not to worry though - Your final payment is not due until next year, so there is plenty of time to add your friends' credit card details to your booking. We will follow up with you directly via your booking page and are confident that we will be able to assist with splitting the costs evenly between the three of you. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

“Way too long and complicated. It brought us just stress during two days. (We always book last minutes tour and it’s never as complicated as that)”

Helpful Report

Posted 4 years ago

Hi there Renaud, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We definitely understand that booking a tour last-minute can be stressful! To clarify, when passengers book tours within 30 days of departure, bookings must go through an 'on request' process, almost always without exception. This means that your operator must reach out to every one of the hotel suppliers used for your tour, as well as a number of other suppliers (including transportation companies and restaurants) to request your spaces. Whilst we are available 24/7, this process can only be carried out by operators during their local business hours, which is usually Monday through Friday. We have had a look at your booking and can see your booking request was submitted to us on a Saturday. We can also see one of our agents at TourRadar attempted to make contact with you the same day you placed your booking request but was not able to get through. However, once we received written confirmation that you were happy to proceed with the booking, your spaces were confirmed within 48 hours. Since your tour is of a decent duration, it normally would have taken a bit longer to confirm than a shorter tour, but we partnered with the operator to confirm your booking in record time, first thing on the Monday. Whilst it is always recommend that travellers avoid placing bookings last-minute, we understand this is not always possible - We are just really glad that we were able to confirm your spaces just on time for your departure. We hope you have an incredible holiday and thank you for choosing TourRadar! Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

Hi Damita, Thank you for your review. We have had a look at your booking and are sorry to see that the tour operator was not able to confirm your space. When you requested this tour, your credit card was pre-authorised as part of a process that your bank carries out to guarantee that funds are available to pay for your tour. This means there was a temporary hold put on the funds needed for the payment. A refund is still pending for your booking as we are waiting for the tour operator to confirm an alternative departure date. The TourRadar Customer Support Team is available 24/7, whilst the tour operators are not. Depending on where the tour operator is located and their local operating hours can cause a delay to responses. TourRadar will be reaching out to you on your booking conversation page to confirm whether an alternative departure date might work. Here at TourRadar, we are confident in our ability to send our travellers on life-enriching travel experiences and hope to be able to do this for you! Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

Helpful Report

Dear Kirsten, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are glad we could get in touch in order to clarify this. Paying by instalment is indeed possible when booking a tour more than two months in advance (for most operators). When booking two months or less before the actual travel date, TourRadar does need the full payment, as the departure is close and that most operators need to have this total amount on file. The amount to be paid at the time of booking will always be indicated when processing the reservation. The date at which the full payment is required will be clearly outlined as well. In case of any doubts, our Customer Support team is available 24/7 via phone and live chat, and can definitely check what are the payment terms for your preferred date.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your booking experience. We provide 24/7 customer support to all our travellers so we regret to hear that you have not received the support you needed when placing your booking. As per our correspondence, it seems like you have been in contact with several agents about honouring a price drop for an existing tour and applying your travel credits to an existing booking. While we understand this is likely a disappointing situation for you, waiting for a price drop also has you running the risk of missing out on your place on your preferred departure date due to availability. It's not dissimilar to the airline industry, where it is also common to see a price drop after you have booked your flight. For this reason, we are unfortunately unable to retroactively apply a sale deal to a tour that has already been booked and confirmed. While travel credits are earned on each booking placed on TourRadar, they can only be applied to future bookings and not the same booking, from which those travel credits were earned. For this reason, we were unable to apply the current travel credits you have on your account. We hope this clarifies your situation. We will also be in touch with you to gather any additional feedback you may have about your booking experience. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team
