Atrocious. Spent over 3K on a CostSaver/Trafalgar recommended store, despite it being 500% more than other stores because "we will assist if something goes wrong." Well something has gone wrong, and NO assistance. Over priced tours considering nothing is included, and thus you MUST do the "optionals." No choice as hotels are in the middle of no where. Hotels also lack a lot of facilities and when I queried this, the answer was "we prefer to support small family hotels as they have good service." Ok fine, but I would also like more than toast for brekky, and maybe a decent window in my bedroom. They have also contacted me via socials wanting to post some of my pictures: great. But perhaps also respond to my feedback, one of which actually needs URGENT action.Show more

Thank you for sharing your concerns here with us. We regret to note that you may have felt that no assistance was provided by our Guest Relations Department, as indeed, they have been in direct contact with you, and have been doing their utmost to address your issue for some time now. Nevertheless, we regret that this has not resolved your concerns thus far, and we hope the team will be able to do so un due course.
