You double booked me, charged me the same booking twice, and my credit card is now in over draft, causing me a penalty in both payment and credit score

Last night I booked a tour (with a guaranteed departure) and once it was confirmed (I received a confirmation email) so I then proceeded to book my flights and a few hotels (at the beginning and the end). Went to bed thinking everything was in order but lo and behold this morning I woke up to an email that said my tour (remember, the one with a guaranteed departure & was confirmed) was cancelled and that a refund would be processed in 3-5 days. I am not amused. Now I have to try and find another tour company that offers a similar package because I already have flights and hotels booked!!! A note of interest, that same trip is still being advertised on your website (strangely for $400 more per person). First time booking through this company and it will definitely be the last.

I booked and paid for a tour and was told that the cruise part was canceled. Well that was not the tour I booked and I would not have booked it and paid for it. Then they tried to get me a tour that that was more expensive and I would have to book multiple boat trips. Of course I said no and asked for my money back and my credits I had built up. I got my momey back but was told I would not get my 400 dollar credits back. Why am I being penalized for something out of my control. I need to get my credits back. Very poor service.

Hey there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! When it comes to online bookings, the EU has made 3D Secure registration mandatory. This is an extra security step that has been implemented for your protection. Because of this, we have noticed an increase in "Failed Payments". However, our Customer Support team is here 24/7 to make sure the tour is booked! We have no doubt you’ll have a great time on your tour, and remember if there is anything we here at TourRadar can help you with, we are available by phone and online chat 24/7.

I tried and still trying to book one of the Pakistan tours. None are available from any company. The tour companies just push their private tours at twice the cost and are not entertaining the listed group tours. Their definition of the group tours is if the traveler pre-arranges and coordinates a group. So far I've been confirmed and charged for a group tour that is not running. They just want more money for a private tour instead. I gave a five because of past success with tourradar but not this one. Do not use this site for Pakistan.

Hi Victor, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your booking experience. It's great to hear you've had a positive experience using TourRadar in the past. However, we regret you have had difficulties confirming a group tour in Pakistan this time round. The effects of Covid-19 have meant some local operators are finding it difficult to meet the minimum numbers for tours departing in the next month or two. As an alternative they may offer you a private tour, which does come at a higher cost, but is optional. One of our agents will reach out to you directly about your concerns and the choices available, so we may assist you further. Best regards The TourRadar Team

Can't talk to a live person. Forced to rebook or they would keep my credit even thought they are the ones that cancelled the trip. They charged my credit card a second deposit and blamed it on me saying I booked a new trip instead of rebooting the old trip. U literally used the link they provided to book. 1/10 do not recommend!

Hi Dawn, Thank you for your valuable feedback, however, we're very saddened to hear you feel this way. We can see there has been some previous concerns and confusion surrounding your rebooking and so we had a member of our Customer Support Team reach out immediately to assist you! Unfortunately, your communication was being received directly by your tour operator who are located in another time-zone and are out of office for the holidays. However, please rest assured that TourRadar's Customer Support team are available 24/7, so we're always here to help you, if urgently required, on the number on our website! We sincerely thank you for taking the time to reach out, so that we were able to assist you further. Kindest Regards, The TourRadar Team

Well i thought i was getting an amazing deal at -45% off the original tour price. Well after booking i looked at the tour operators site that would be doing the actual tour. Well tourradar doubles the price then discounts it to the same price as the actual tour operator. So don't be fooled, your not getting a discount. Example: TourRadar price $2519 / person minus 45% = $1135. The current price on Travel Talk is: $1385 / person. So in reality you're saving $250. The employees that i spoke with via phone and live chat were very helpful n great! So thank you for that :) Just a tad disappointed with what i thought was a great deal but not so much. Lesson learned! The only reason i am giving this a low rating is the fact that i felt cheated. On top of that i received an email saying final hours for up to 70% discount so i really rushed to book however i looked the next day and sale prices still the same (even the same 3 days later). I will likely not book with tourradar again but look at the deals and go with the tour operator right away.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are saddened to hear you feel this way. We wish to assure you that booking with TourRadar not only means the best price guarantee, but also offers you exclusive additional benefits, and we sincerely regret these may not have been made apparent. These include, but are not limited to; unlimited Travel Credits gained off each booking to use as discounts on future tours, no booking fees, and TourRadar exclusive deals. These benefits are explained in more detail, here: https://www.tourradar.com/why However, price transparency is very important to us. The listed base price or the discount offered during a sale is under the sole responsibility of and updated by, the tour operator providing the services. Should there be any discrepancies, TourRadar would do our best to investigate or provide assistance! We have therefore since checked and can confirm that Travel Talk list your specific tour on the TourRadar platform, at an identically advertised base and sales price as their own website. However, we will endeavor to have a member of our support team reach out to understand any further feedback you may have. We thank you again for your feedback and we sincerely hope that you will have an amazing time on your tour! We’re here to assist you 24/7, right up until departure. Kindest Regards, The TourRadar Team

Hi Lynton, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, although we are very saddened to hear you feel this way. We of course understand this is a troubling time for many individuals affected by COVID-19, and we can see you cancelled your tour in June 2021 due to these concerns. TourRadar always strive to obtain the best possible outcome for our travellers wherever we can, however we must adhere to the operators terms and conditions when it comes to cancellations.

My trip of a lifetime to Peru was cancelled by tour Radar due to COVID-19 and I was not given a refund. Malaysian airlines have refunded, hotels and trains have refunded but not TourRadar. I am 68 years old and I do not know if I will be healthy enough to climb Michu pichu in the future. I would appreciate if you would refund my full payment as per the ACCC conditions.

Hi there, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. TourRadar understands that Covid-19 has disturbed many travelers' plans and made it virtually impossible for many to continue with their tours and plans. The ongoing situation has also impacted tour operators heavily and has led to a substantial number of suspended tours. Our travel industry partners have been working with all those travelers affected to find a positive outcome. We can see that the tour operator has offered reimbursement in the form of a future travel credit. We understand that you found this to be an unsatisfactory result and preferred a different solution to the matter. After having been in touch directly with the operator, unfortunately, no other option was found to be available. As a booking agent, TourRadar is bound by the terms and conditions set out by the tour operators, including tour suspensions. Although we tried our best to assist you, we are unfortunately not able to change the operator's decisions. We thank you for your valued feedback, and sincerely wish you all the best during these challenging times. This is an unprecedented situation and one that continues to change based on decisions that are out of anyone's control. Saying this, we are monitoring the situation very closely and doing all we can to help travelers at this time. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

Very disappointed in their response to Coranavirus pandemic. Obviously not concerned about welfare of individuals. They dont care about health of older people who are advised to cancel their booking due to high level of risk of adverse outcome if infected. TourRadar WILL NOT RELAX their cancellation policy in this unique situation. I am having to pay 30% of tour cost when cancelling and if I leave it another few days it will be 60%!@ Do not recommend this company.

Hi Carol, Thank you for your feedback. As a booking platform, TourRadar is not responsible for and does not set the terms and conditions for cancellation, as these are decided by each individual operator for their tours. We are bound to these, as are you, the traveller, who agreed to them at the time of booking. With the current global health situation, government advisories and flight restrictions changing not just daily but multiple times every day, operators are working hard to ensure they're making the best decisions they can for their travellers. Trafalgar, the operator for your tour, has suspended all of their departures up until the 30th April, for tours to Europe, UK, the Middle East, Argentina, India, Asia, New Zealand, Australia and Africa. Their tours to The Americas are still currently running as per normal. We've had a look at your booking and as it is a North American tour departing in May, we can see this is currently unaffected and Trafalgar is still running this tour. With the situation constantly evolving, they will aim to keep it this way and only suspend the tour if and when it's deemed necessary. First and foremost, traveller safety is their top priority. We would like to kindly let you know that TourRadar is currently working on convincing operators to relax their terms and conditions in order to face the current situation. We are doing all we can to assist our customers in this crisis situation, but are still bound to each individual operator's policy. We can see your cancellation is currently in progress, and will reach out to you shortly via your booking page, once we have an update. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team
