The communication from Tour Radar once I booked and paid for the tour was appalling. It was so incredibly difficult to gain any information at all, I called, emailed, used their ‘preferred’ messaging system that promoted itself as 24/7 communication and would not hear from anyone for 3-5 days. I ended up calling Inspiring Journeys directly to find out what was happening. Once I arrived in Alice Springs, the day before the tour, there was no booking for me. The hotel staff had to ring on my behalf and fortunately found my name! I met other people on my tour in the hotel and they had a different itinerary, different meeting time, everyone was so confused. There was no welcome letter or information available. It was a comedy show… The tour itself was great, the 4WD vehicle was so comfortable and well stocked, the driver kept us safe, the accomodation was good, the experiences were fun, especially Under the Desert Moon and Outback BBQ. Our guide was like a deer in headlights, he knew his stuff but was so unapproachable and made no attempt to get to know anybody. Thankfully, our group was excellent and everyone hit it off. I will NEVER book with Tour Radar againShow more
