Hi Andreas, Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. While we regret to hear about the wait for your booking confirmation, we’re happy to see that the tour operator has been in communication with you to advise that due to local holidays, it would take some time to confirm your booking. As you also requested to add extra travellers, the tour operator required extra time to ensure that all of the components of the tour package can be confirmed for you. This includes accommodations, activities, and transportation. 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

Poor customer service with Tourradar using the standard "our system will not allow us to do this" applying travel credits traveller has accumulated. I would give this company 0 stars if I could with their lack of help in booking a trip online that stated there is availability but the trip was fully booked. No help either via online chat or via telephone.

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

I booked multiple tours through TourRadar as a part of my big European OE. Out of six different tours I booked three of them weren’t booked a handled correctly, through fault of the rubbish communication between TourRadar, the tour companies and myself. My very first tour was a Contiki, which I had booked almost a year prior and was doing with a friend. I sent messages two weeks prior asking where my travel vouchers were, as my friend had received hers, but I hadn’t. I found out three days before the departure that my booking had been lost on the system and was never booked with Contiki. The tour we had booked was fully booked and I couldn’t go. They took far too long to come up with an alternative for my friend and I which meant we had to do a different trip and miss the first two nights in Amsterdam, which meant she didn’t get to see Amsterdam. Then I had booked a trip to Santorini through Santorini Experience. The tour company contacted me as they were having issues getting my boat tickets to me, in this time my Granddad passed away and asked them about whether I could get a refund so I could afford to fly home for the funeral (never confirming that I was cancelling). They said no I couldn’t so I let them know that I decided to go. They said that they had cancelled my booking. When contacting them over the next three days, I just kept being told that the office was closed, but someone will get back to me in a couple of hours. Three days later I had missed the boat because I had no tickets and was left stranded in Athens. I didn’t hear back from them until later that night, by which point was too late to do anything. I missed my Granddads funeral and didn’t get to go on the trip. The third incident was on an Expat trip up North. When I booked this trip I originally thought I would be going to Russia, by the time they sent me the info I needed I had already left NZ, I tried getting a Russian visa in other countries I was in, but was told that only residents of that country could apply. So when I was sent a link to fill out my details with Expat and clicked that o was doing the Russian bypass. This somehow never made it through to the Expat team, so when I turned up to my tour, my leader had booked me accommodation etc in Russia. After days of arguing between the two companies and myself, I was left to book EVERYTHING myself for the 4 days of my tour, that I couldn’t spend with my tour group. There was fine print in a 45 page document saying you had to let them know 45 days prior to the tour if you needed to do the bypass, however was never told this when contacting them multiple times about this, or when submitting the info with Expat. All over I will NEVER book anything again with TourRadar as my trip has been an absolute nightmare, not only did I loose my Grandfather, but I have been left stranded multiple times because of the lack of organisation, knowledge and communication. You need to get more staff and train them better!

Good selection of trips. Selected a trip that met our needs and shows that there are 10 spaces left. Got an email the following day that website was erroneous and that there was only 1 space left and not 10 as advertised on the site..Very disappointed as the schedule and itinerary fit our vacation plans.

Hello Maria, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We understand how disappointing it is when you find the perfect tour only to find out that it cannot be confirmed. For this reason, we are continually working on showing the most up to date availability as possible. Fortunately, we don't see cases like this happen too often as the availability on our site is updated every 24 hours. Currently, our availability is only as accurate as of the information provided to us by our tour operator partners. We are glad to see that you were able to find and book a very similar tour. There is no doubt that you will have a fantastic time while on tour. If you need any assistance at all, our Customer Support team is available 24/7 via phone, email and live chat!

When I first asked about room availability, I was told that single occupancy was possible. Then when I made a booking, was told that there was no guarantee and I either had to cancel the booking or wait for 4 days to see if a single occupancy room could be arranged. But if I waited, if single rooms were unavailable I would not be able to cancel the booking and there was a possibility of not having a room for 1 person. When I said I could wait a few days to see if a room could be arranged and re book, they refused to do it. I’m not booking a holiday where there is no guarantee of appropriate rooms. I travel alone and do not think it’s acceptable to share rooms with people I don’t know. I cancelled my booking, but the money has not been returned yet. Very disappointed.

Hello Anna, Thank you for your feedback. We understand it’s disappointing when the trip you want to book turns out to be unavailable. Looking through our online chat correspondence, we can see that our Travel Expert had explained that there was an additional charge for single occupancy accommodation and that it was subject to availability. Unfortunately for the specific tour you booked, there was not an option to select single occupancy on the booking page, rather it needed to be added manually after booking confirmation. The operator of your tour was able to confirm your place in the tour group, but needed additional time (2-4 days) to ensure that a single room would be available for the entire duration of your tour. This is what’s known in the touring industry as “On Request”. We understand, especially when planning travel last minute that a situation like this is both frustrating and stressful and respect your decision to not proceed with the On Request process (to assess if your single accommodation could be confirmed). As such, we have offered for you to cancel your place on the tour, free of charge. Your cancellation is being processed as a matter of urgency, along with your full refund. We hope we’re able to offer you a more positive booking experience in the future and remain here for you 24/7 should you have any questions. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

Hi,  This isn't booking experience But I'm so frustrated nd disappointed with this trip that I have to share. I'm on my 1st day of Sapa 3D2N tour with VietnamTraveltop.com. 1 -Leo, my travel agent  contacted me about my pick up being 630am. The driver showed up at 7am to my hotel. 2- When I got off the bus at Sapa I was left there not being informed or contacted about where I need to be. All other bus passengers left the station. I called and texted my agent Leo, no answer. I called the tour company, the number didn't  work. Finally someone showed up pick me up in his scooter and took me to the hotel but couldn't speak English to answer where my tour guide was. 3- I was put in the 2hr walk tour with 2 people from Hanoi who didnt speak English. The tour guide's English was quite limited that I couldn't understand half of it. 4- I was put in this hotel that there is hardly any guests that I saw and no staffs I could talk to. I was served lunch and dinner in a completely empty hotel restaurant without being asked what I want to eat or offered a menu. There is no group social in the evening that I read on itinerary. 5- It's 1155pm now and there is very loud music playing right next to this hotel that my ear plugs are not helping. I tried to call the front desk but the phone doesn't work. Please explain where or if there is a tour guide for this trip. The tour "agent " finally texted me back but he is in Thailand. Unfortunately I can not understand him without clarifying multiple times due to a language barrier. So far this is NOT an international English speaking group tour you advertised in the itinerary I paid for. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Hello Kevin, We're sorry to hear you feel you've been misled. You're absolutely correct that we recommend travellers wait to receive their tour booking confirmation and their tour is guaranteed to depart, before booking flights. The reason for this is, once you've booked your flights, there is no guarantee the specific tour departure you intend to book, will still be available. You also need to make sure the tour operator of the tour you're booking has guaranteed your tour to depart. If you book your flights before this, you may find yourself needing to change your flights, which often incurs a significant cost. We're glad we were able to speak with you over the phone to arrange your new tour dates so you can go ahead and book your flights once we send your confirmation. Thank you again for choosing TourRadar! Happy Travels, The TourRadar Team

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We regret to hear that your messages have been unanswered and you've experienced a price drop after placing a booking. It looks like you have sent a message to us yesterday. Please understand that your booking page is not a live-messaging platform so for any urgent queries, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or live chat. In addition, while we understand it is disappointing to experience a price drop after booking, waiting for one also has you running the risk of missing a spot on your prefered departure date due to availability. It's not dissimilar to the airline industry, where it is also not uncommon to see a price drop after you have booked your flight. That being said, we will reach out to you further for any additional feedback you may have about your booking experience on TourRadar. Best Regards, The TourRadar Team

Tour radar does little to communicate with its partners, namely Discovery Nomads. We arrived in Rome and were booked into a stinky economy room. When we called they said there was nothing they could do about the terrible accommodations. The hotel manager apologized saying this was a late booking by TourRadar all they had were economy rooms. We found a decent room down the street. Tour Radar responded to our terrible vacation saying Discovery Nomads are the responsible party. Pay Tour Radar send your complaints to Discovery Nomads!

Hello Terry, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear about your experience upon arrival on your tour in 2017. We've been in touch with you recently to understand what happened on your tour as we have no record of being notified of your disappointment until recent weeks. We understand now, that the operator of the tour was notified of your dissatisfaction with the first tour hotel and although they facilitated your room being changed, you opted to discontinue the tour. The operator maintains that no refund was due in your case, referencing their booking terms and conditions that state: “arriving late or leaving an adventure in progress, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund.” While we sincerely regret your dissatisfaction upon starting your independent tour, there is unfortunately no longer any opportunity for TourRadar or your tour operator to retroactively address your complaint from events occurring two years ago. We recommend you always contact your booking agent for any issues surrounding your booking in a timely manner in order to effect the best opportunity for a favourable outcome. If there is anything we can do to offer you a superior experience in the future, we'll be happy to oblige. Respectfully, The TourRadar Team

I will not use TourRadar again. I will always book directly with the tour provider. I was forced to cancel within 24 hours of making my reservation and lost my full payment. While this was in line with the purchase conditions, TourRadar were zealous in finalising the cancellation and saying it was then too late to consider any variation in terms. I contacted the tour provider who was also unable to help because I had not booked directly. TourRadar was a costly mistake. They acted promptly whenever there was money coming their way, but were slow to respond or provide advice or support when I needed it.

I booked my reservation on March 30th with a deposit. I did not get "approved" for the tour until April 3rd (6 days later). It caused a problem for me because I am flying with 4 other girls and the flights were filling up. Expect it to take longer than 48 hours to get your confirmation. I wrote to TourRadar each day asking if they could please speed it up (it amounts to just checking to see if each leg of the tour is open) but no good. They DO respond back within 24 hours but they don't actually do the work for 4 to 6 days. So if you are booking with friends, not good.:) Hoping the tour operators are more on the ball.:) I have heard the tour is a good tour, this is just the administrative part of it.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate that you have chosen TourRadar as your booking agency and regret that it took some time for your tour operator to confirm your tour. TourRadar is open 24/7 to assist with any queries, but our individual operators have their own business hours during which they can take reservations and confirm bookings. We have had a look at your booking and can see that one of our agents reached out when you placed your booking to advise that your departure was ‘on request’ and that it could take anywhere from 2-4 business days for the operator to confirm your space. To clarify, your operator is located in the UK, so it was Friday there when your request was submitted and your operator then closed for the weekend shortly after. When an ‘on request’ booking is placed, operators must not only check availability with every supplier used for the tour, but use your personal details to book in every component so that your space is fully secured. Depending on the length of your tour, this can sometimes take several business days. We can certainly understand that when you need to book flights, waiting for confirmation can be arduous. We can see that our agents checked the status of your request every day, but confirmation is always ultimately dependent on how fast the tour operator’s operations team works to secure your space. In this particular instance, the operator confirmed your tour within 4 business days, as we had initially advised. We have no doubt that you will have a wonderful time on your tour - If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team
