Hi there Evelyn, Thank you for your review! We have had a look at your booking and can see that you requested a call; however, because your operator is located in Spain and was unable to call you during suitable hours, they had to reach out to us here at TourRadar for assistance. We do sincerely apologise for the delay in getting back to you and are glad that one of our agents was able to provide clarification and the answers to all your questions. If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to give us a call at any time. We are available 24/7 via phone and live chat and are always happy to help. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

I have used you before, so, I know how you worked 3 years ago, but now I've booked my trip to Ethiopia, and I want to get a single room. I tried your chat and now I'm calling you and no answer. If this was my first dealing with you I would be nervous. Now I'm going to call G-Adventure to get my answer. I also have credits from my Nepal and Bhutan trip and would like to use it on this trip.

Hi Sharon, Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear you have returned after a pleasant experience on tour three years ago and decided to book yourself on another wonderful tour. We have taken a look at your booking and can see that you’ve sent your single supplement request on the 28 February. We sincerely apologize as we are experiencing a high volume of inquiries. Currently, it is taking us around 72 hours to reply to our travellers but please give us a call or contact us via live chat for any urgent queries - we have many travellers contacting us about their next dream adventure, but we can assure you that we are always available to assist. As per your booking, it seems like you’ve been in touch with us and we’ve advised about having to request it with the tour operator directly due to unavailability, which you have subsequently agreed to. We will notify you upon hearing back from them about this. With respect to your travel credits, your current booking does consist of greater savings than your travel credits earned in your Nepal and Bhutan booking but it’s ultimately up to you if you want to use your travel credits on your current Ethiopia booking instead. Thank you for your time and we will reach out directly for more feedback on your booking experience. Best Regards, The TourRadar Team

very poor in providing tour details, need a lot of follow up questions to the travel agency help desk and the response is late (usually reply in next day), not instant enough to assist tour booking.

Hello Mei Lin, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you've been disappointed with the 24 hour response time from your tour operator. On TourRadar.com you can find and book tours from more than 1000 tour operators around the globe, many of which, invite you to experience your next destination, authentically, with local experts. If the tour operator you're travelling with is a local specialist, (meaning their offices are located in your holiday in your destination), it's also often that they will respond to your tour queries during their local business hours which is what I can see has happened in your case. Should you like to contact our TourRadar Travel Experts, we are available for you 24/7 both via phone and online chat and always happy to help in any way we can. If you have any further feedback as to how we can improve your booking experience, we'd love to hear from you. Have a wonderful trip! The TourRadar Team

Hi Chee Meng, Thank you for your review. We have had a look at your booking and regret to hear that you feel disappointed by our service.

We would like to remind you that we are available to assist 24/7 via phone and live chat, so for all urgent inquiries, we kindly ask that you contact us via phone or live chat. Whilst we endeavour to answer all messages as quickly as possible, please understand that your booking page is not a live messaging system, so it may take time for us to get to your messages and respond to them. We will follow up with you via your booking page shortly. Thank you for you continued patience, and thank you for choosing TourRadar! Best regards, The TourRadar Team

I booked a tour (discover Petra 3 day tour) The website showed 10 places available . I received back an email saying my booking was "denied". No explaination just "denied" I call and inquired "WHY"was I denied. They don't know? Then Tourradar sends me a email with the comment that they have plenty of other 3 days tours. So finally I get another email saying that tour is filled up and that is why I was "denied" Great! so i go on the website to look for another 3 day tour and guess what? The "Discover Petra 3 day tour, is there, the same i wanted to book! I check the date May 2,3,4 and they show 10 available places! This is after i was "Denied" HELP! Really I am not a Bad guy Respectfully Raymond Bill

Hi Raymond and Mattie, Thanks for your review. We have had a look at your booking history and regret to hear that your booking request has come back declined. Please understand that we are a global company with close partnerships with tour operators around the world. As a result, we have tour operators who are responsible for manually adjusting the availability on our site for each departure. This may explain why you still see availability for your preferred departure date after having been advised it was unavailable. For clarity, upon receiving your booking request, the tour operator has subsequently declined your booking because it was no longer available. Rest assured, we have contacted the tour operator directly for an update on their available dates and will be in touch with you after this has been resolved. Regards, The TourRadar Team

Hello David, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you've been waiting longer than you'd expected for an answer to your questions. The reason for the short delay is that your Cruise Operator is located in the destination you're travelling to (different to where you are located) and operate during their local business hours. We have reached out now to your Cruise Operator and also forwarded their answers to your questions in your booking page. We hope this resolves your query and that you're looking forward to your cruise! Thanks for choosing TourRadar! The TourRadar Team

I carefully read the website. When I booked the trip, tourradar added over $500 to the original cost of the tour. I would advise finding the tour you want and then going to the original tour-organizing group instead of this third party site.

Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your booking experience feedback. We are sorry to see that you are unhappy with the mandatory single supplement required by the tour operator. While some tour operators have a room sharing option for solo travellers, this is not an industry standard. We regret how this has impacted your booking experience with TourRadar. As your booking agent, our support team will be reaching out to the tour operator to look into this more closely and our team will be in touch shortly with a resolution for you.

Love your web-site - many tours to look at - one stop shopping. This is first time I tried booking a trip through you. The experience not so great. During a chat your agent promised to call me the next day to help with booking the tour - well - she did not deliver on the promise. So, I decided to call - again - very disappointed with the service. The man I spoke with didn't know what he was doing, I had to provide cues and he didn't even say thank you or good buy when we were finished. Poor customer service!

Last week I paid a $200 deposit and $399 single supplement. After I had paid the deposit I was advised that I need to purchase a sleeping bag. As I am travelling for 4 weeks I do not wish to cart around a sleeping bag which will probably only used for two nights. Also the total cost of the tour with single supp is close to $2000 staying in 3-3.5 star hotels. I do not wish to outlay any more money. Had the information been provided BEFORE I paid the deposit, I would have chosen another tour. I have indicated via email that a sleeping bag should be provided or at least able to be hired and if not I wish to cancel this particular tour. Tourradar have advised me that should I cancel they will keep the $200 deposit. This is very bad business practice and highly unethical. Should you decide to keep my deposit I will proceed with legal action, as the additional expense was indicated to me AFTER I had paid the deposit. Booking number: 2465855. Robyn Britton

Hello Robyn, Thank you for your review. We absolutely understand your aversion to travelling with a sleeping bag given it's only recommended for one night and you'll be on the road for 4 weeks. However, this item is simply a recommended packing item and not a requirement. Blankets are provided for you for the one night you stay at the Bedouin Camp in Morocco, plus you're travelling in the summer, so the choice is yours. On any other tour which includes the unforgettable experience of camping overnight in the desert would have offered the same recommendation regarding your packing list. We encourage you to reconsider your request to cancel your tour. As you have correctly pointed out, the cancellation terms and conditions of your booking, as outlined by the tour operator, would mean loss of your deposit payment (these funds are not held by TourRadar). This is a wonderful tour you have booked and we can speak from our own experience, that Bedouin camps are well equipped. We've been in touch with you directly and hope our assurance might encourage you to reassess your decision moving forward. Regardless of what you decide, we remain here for you 24/7. Respectfully, The TourRadar Team

I received an email with a booking number. The next day I received an email saying the booking was not confirmed but an open request. After spending many hours communicating with Tour Radar I was told the booking would go through but we would be staying at another hotel 8 minutes walk from the hotel where everyone else is staying.

Hello Kimberly, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review of your booking experience. We understand that the On Request process can be frustrating, but it is an industry standard when a tour or region is popular and busy. Even though there are spaces left on the tour, they cannot guarantee that the hotel will have vacancies for every traveller - and with hotels in a high season, the rooming situation in a hotel can change quickly. The Tour Operator has offered to accommodate you in a nearby hotel but also given you the option to cancel with a full refund if this is not suitable for you. We hope we can find the best solution for you regarding your tour. Thank you again for your feedback. We're available for you 24/7 should you have any questions, or like to discuss your tour further Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

I booked a trip to Jordan/Egypt...turns out that there were no spots available on the tour so a day later I was given an option to try another date...turns out that one was 'available on request' so I am now 4 days later with no confirmation of the alternate option and my airfare has increased to $2900 from $1300. I have used tourradar before for many trips but this screw up may cost me as much as the initial trip that I planned. Hopefully, there is a better solution than being told that I have no alternatives except pay more!

Hello Cameron, Thank you for your feedback and for your loyalty to TourRadar. You certainly are quite the traveller! We absolutely understand your concern regarding the pending confirmation of your upcoming trip. Last-minute tour bookings are generally classified as those booked within a couple of weeks of departure and availability of these tours can change from one moment to the next. Many are also 'On Request'. Naturally, any last-minute travel arrangements will almost always coincide with fluctuating flight prices (often increasing, but if you're lucky, decreasing). As you are likely aware, we strongly advise against booking flights until your tour booking is confirmed. This is based on the fact that the confirmation of your tour booking lies in the hands of the operator of your tour and we are unable to affect the fast-tracking of this process. Having said that, some travellers who are willing to be flexible and take a risk with their last minute travel plans, prefer to book their flights before tour booking confirmation to avoid the possibility of their flight costs creeping up. Naturally, this requires the traveller to accept full responsibility for making alternate tour arrangements in the unfortunate case the tour booking request is declined. Of course, our Travel Experts are here to help in any way they can, should you find yourself in this situation. It's a decision the traveller needs to make. The best way to avoid this situation is to book a little earlier. Last minute bookings definitely have their advantages but in order to have the best chance at avoiding situations like this one, booking further in advance, where possible, is recommended. We have our fingers crossed that the operator of your tour is able to confirm your booking and assure you we'll be in touch as soon as we hear from them. Sincerely, The TourRadar Team

Your booking process favors you in such a way it is impossible to cancel without losing your deposit. Should have booked through the actual tour operator. TourRadar I believe is kind of like Expedia?

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your review. TourRadar is indeed a marketplace, in fact, the biggest marketplace in the world for multi-day tours, where we offer our users the opportunity to search and book tours from more than 900 tour operators around the globe. We understand your disappointment regarding your loss of deposit, no-one likes to pay cancellation fees when having to cancel your tour is already disappointing enough. It's important to note though, that TourRadar does not charge any additional booking or cancellation fees on top of the fees outlined by the tour operator. The terms and conditions of your booking are dictated by the operator of your tour, and may vary from one operator to the next. Had you indeed booked this tour elsewhere, (even directly with the tour operator), not only would you have missed out on all the benefits TourRadar offers, but also, the cancellation fees associated with your booking cancellation would have been exactly the same. It may also help to note when booking future travel, that not unlike booking flights, a non-refundable deposit is very much an industry standard for tour operators. In your case, your deposit payment is able to be applied to a future booking with the same operator, which is great news! Hopefully, we'll have an opportunity to book you on this tour to your desired destination in the not too distant future (at a more suitable time for you). Thank you again for your feedback. We're available for you 24/7 should you have any questions, or like to discuss your deposit further. Sincerely, The TourRadar Team

I was led to believe a tour departed daily and was allowed to request a booking on my chosen days, waited for days, and when confirmation came through I was booked on a different tour. When I pointed this out I was simply told, sorry, we'll have to cancel that. I have already booked other tours on both ends of this trip and no other solution or help was offered, just sorry. Well I am sorry too that days upon days of research have been for nothing and it is impossible to find a similar tours on the days I need.

The tour did not have an end time. I booked a flight for the 1030pm the day the tour ended. I am trying to see if the tour can accommodate my flight b/c the flight cannot be changed.

Part of the package includes complimentary transfer arriva from airport to hotel and departure from hotel to airport. The paper I received contains this information. Yet no one picked me up. The travel agent who booked the trip has called numerous times to find out what happened. Your staff said she did not book the trip, said it was someone else, and they will not do anything.
