Other than booking the tour and payment. TourRadar is not very helpful so far my experience has not exceptional. I pray this is not a prelude to how the tour will be.

Hi Maria, We thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We regret to hear that we may have missed the opportunity to provide an exceptional service during some stage of your booking process. Based on our correspondence, it does appear that your booking process has been smooth. We have directly addressed your questions via live chat and have directed you to the regulating authorities for specific information about Visas and Travel Insurance. With that being said, we do pride ourselves on providing a great service to our customers and we will reach out to you directly to see if there is anything else we can assist with. Best Regards, The TourRadar Team

Great site for having a quick snap shot of tours available in the city/country. I like that it has a preview of the travel route in the overview page of all tours available. However I had issues with making payment via credit card. I tried Chrome, Internet Explorer and even on my mobile phone and I couldn't fill in the credit card details as the sections were greyed out. Had to contact customer service to support payment and thankfully the customer service was very reactive and responsive.

Why do you force a single traveller to book a single room? You must offer several possibilitys to these people so more of them will choose to travel with you.

Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. TourRadar partners with over a thousand operators from all around the world, which do not always have the same policy when it comes to solo travellers. Some of them allow shared occupancy between different members from the group, while others do not and have a mandatory single supplement. Our Customer Support team will be glad to suggest tour options that match your requirements, and to recommend operators who allow room sharing if needed. You can contact our team at any time here: https://www.tourradar.com/contact Wishing you a lovely day, Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

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. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

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. This is an improvement area.

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. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

Hello there! Thank you so much for your feedback. We have had a look at your booking and can see that the operator you booked with is a self-service operator. Our self-service operators are located all over the world and have varying local business hours. This can sometimes cause a bit of a communication delay, especially as many operators are closed through the weekend. However, our Customer Service team here at TourRadar is available 24/7 and would love to answer any questions regarding your upcoming tour. You can reach us via phone, live chat and email! We hope that provides some clarification and would like to thank you for continuing to choose TourRadar for your touring needs. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

I have booked with TourRadar several times before and had positive experiences. The information has been clear, online answers to most questions, and subsequent communications are clear. I will say that this time the information was a bit inaccurate and misleading. The web page where all the purchase details are entered and the price is generated clearly has a box which says "G Adventures offers 5% discount for past passengers" and includes a box to include past trip/customer number. Of course I did not expect the price to show this discount when I entered my payment info because it appears it needs to be confirmed with G Adventures first. After receiving my confirmation and noting that it did not include the 5% discount (I have been on 2 G Adventures trips), I asked about it. The response indicates that this is a discounted trip and they "will not be able to include" the 5% discount. This is misleading and feels like a bait-and-switch as the reservation form just says "G Adventures offers 5% discount for past passengers" without any conditions, maybes, or caveats. Those of us who prefer reserving and purchasing online expect the online information to be accurate and reliable.

Hey Todd, Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. We have taken a look into your booking page and understand exactly where you are coming from. G Adventures does offer an amazing 5% discount for returning travelers. However, this discount cannot be combined with any other G Adventures tour discounts. The feedback you have given regarding what is stated on the TourRadar booking page is greatly appreciated. We agree that the G Adventures 5% loyalty pricing terms can be better explained directly on the booking page to remove any possible confusion. This type of feedback helps us continue to make booking tours online easy and transparent. We thank you very much for pointing this out to us. We will take a deeper took into this and see how we can better explain the discount terms for future travelers. Thank you again for your continued loyalty and genuine feedback. Best regards, The TourRadar Team

Hi Engenio, 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. For most tours, single supplements are optional. For other tours, single supplements are either mandatory or not an option. Depending on the destination and the tour operator, some accommodation only has twin-share availability. The TourRadar Customer Support Team is available 24/7 and can confirm the rooming style and single supplement requirements if there is any doubt on your end prior to booking. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

My first encounter was with Elle, who was very cordial and patient with me throughout the booking process. She was a delight to work with. After that, I was told to wait 3-4 days to get confirmation on the reservation. In actuality, it was 7 days and required me to contact TourRadar to find out that I had been confirmed. Was not pleased. I had been waiting for confirmation in order to book flights and did not appreciate any delay in response. Otherwise, my experience was okay.

Hi there Susan, Thank very much for taking the time to write us a review! We have had a look at your booking and can see that your tour was 'on request' and was confirmed within 4 business days. We always advise passengers that it can sometimes take longer than this to receive confirmation and will always be sure to follow up accordingly when we experience longer-than-usual confirmation times. It is important for passengers to note that the days outlined are 'business' days - most operators and their operations teams (who are in charge of tour confirmations) are closed through the weekend. Based on the notes on your file, we can see that our agents checked the status of your request every day until the weekend. Then, on the 4th business day, on Monday, we received confirmation from your operator and sent you a confirmation email. We hope that this response provides clarity surrounding 'on request' tours and useful information for how operators' business hours affect how quickly they are able to secure your space. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via live chat or phone, where we are available 24/7 to assist. Kind regards, The TourRadar Team

Before you make your bookings, they will respond to all your queries within an hr but as soon as your tours booked god help you if you have any questions. It’ll be a miracle if you receive a response within a week. Travelled twice with them and had the same experience both the time.

Hello Brij, Thank you for your review and feedback. We appreciate your time and recognize how implementing this would make your booking experience much more efficient. However, important traveller information such as passport details and home addresses are not stored for security reasons. While tedious, many tour operators require up-to-date traveller details upon booking so it is important to re-enter them each time to ensure accuracy. That being said we appreciate your feedback and hope this offers some clarification. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

I called the tour company directly, and said there was indeed room left. Called back Tour Radar, and after further review I was able to join the tour in question. Not sure why they didnt figure this out initally.

Hello Justin, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your booking experience has been a little complicated. As per our correspondence, it looks like there may have been some confusion over the accommodation selected for your tour so additional emails were sent to clarify this. During this time, the tour operator has also advised us that some of the holds placed by other travellers had expired and more spots have been released as a result. We're sorry if these emails may have caused confusion and want to assure you that your booking has been officially confirmed with your selected accommodation. We will reach out to you directly to see if you have any additional feedback pertaining to your booking experience and tour. Kind Regards, The TourRadar Team

While I love the savings offered by TourRadar it still isn't as good as it should be for searching for tours. The drop down menu for Destinations gives you different areas and under that it has "see all". When I choose "see all" however I don't see all I see some, maybe even most but not all countries that TourRadar has tours available for. In the Asia option Uzbekistan isn't listed. When you do a search using the search bar for Uzbekistan the results I get is 51 holiday packages. All should mean all. However worse than that is those 51 holiday packages do not include the tour that I just booked which does go to Uzbekistan. It was my first choice of destination. When I didn't find what I wanted I moved on to the Caucasus region. It was only while searching for those that I looked into one of the trips and subsequently the tour operator and discovered that they also do trips to Uzbekistan. It was this trip that I just booked. Perhaps the issue is in categorization. I expect when I search a country to get all results of any tour that goes in that county, however it seems that the search results only provides tours that only go to that country and excludes multi-country tours.

Hello Heugo, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We've had a closer look at your booking history and it appears your email provider has been blocking the emails we have been sending you, which naturally would have appeared to be that your questions were not being answered.

I think as far as tourradar is concerned, there response rate is quiet fast but sometimes if you require specific information/details re the tour itself they would refer you to the third party/tour operator which take days to get the reply and sometimes the information provided was too little that you have to ask again the same questions that were not clarified and again wait for days for the feedback.
