My recent experience will lead me to never use your company again. I understand tour radar is a 3rd party organizer, but you clearly have some control. First the good: timely communication worh messages, economical Now, the very, very BAD! 1. Frequent cancelled or resceduled tours...you should expect some better service from your tour partners. 2. Hotels unacceptably far from origin of tours...would you like to be booked 15 km from the tour origination (3.5 hour walk, one hour busride, 50+ euro taxi each way. Someone in your company needs totry harder. Also, you reveal the hotel name after the booking is paid for with no chance to rebook. I have already communicated re. this. I feel the need to share this information on social mefia to warn other consumers, unless you can express a plan for changing your company's practice!Show more

Reply from: Tourist Journey
Hi Janice, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you appreciated our team's communication, although we're disappointed that parts of your Puglia journey didn't go as expected. At Tourist Italy, we know that where you stay makes a real difference to your experience, which is why we carefully select our hotels with quality, comfort, and convenience in mind. In Puglia, accommodation options become more limited in October as some hotels close for the quieter season. While maintaining our quality standards remained a priority, we understand that having to travel further to reach your tour meeting points was inconvenient and affected your overall experience. Throughout your journey, our team stayed in close contact with you, coordinating itinerary adjustments while ensuring all planned destinations and activities remained in place at no additional cost. When your Lecce food tour could not operate due to minimum participant requirements, we promptly offered an alternative date or a full refund, which was arranged according to your preference. We've also been working with you directly regarding the additional transportation expenses, offering reimbursement for eligible taxi journeys and reviewing the documentation provided to reach a fair resolution. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we'll certainly keep it in mind as we review our accommodation selections and tour arrangements. While not everything went as planned, we hope the support our team provided throughout your journey helped make a difference. Thank you again for travelling with Tourist Italy. Warm regards, The Tourist Italy Team

  The difference of the single room options the Single Room in Tourist Class and the Single room in Boutique Class.
- Tourist JourneyOperator•Written October 2025
  Around 10 people, please note that not all tours will be with the same people. Tourist Class is our standard 3 star category, and Boutique is 4 stars. If they are 2 people, but they want to sleep in different rooms (single rooms) they need to add 2 Single Supplements / Rooms.

  Jacqueline
  Traveler•Written October 2025
  Do you have 10 people on the Oct 20th start date and 10 people on the Oct 21 start date? My friend and I want our own rooms and also to be in the same hotel. Are you saying Tourist Class is a different hotel than the Boutique?
- Tourist JourneyOperator•Written October 2025
  In both days, there will be around 10-15 people in the walking tours, and 25 in the tours with busses. If you book together, you and your friend will be in the same hotel, now you are selecting one room, but you can select two singles and you will have different rooms in the same accommodation. Yes, Tourist Class is different that Boutique (upgraded hotel).

  Assuming Boutique class is for Dimora Fantasia Charme B&B & La Fiermontina Luxury Home?
- Tourist JourneyOperator•Written October 2025
  Tourist Class corresponds to our standard 3-star hotels. Boutique Class features selected 3.5-4-star properties. Dimora Fantasia Charme B&B is indeed one of the Boutique options we work with. Unfortunately, as your package begins very soon, we're unable to offer a discount this time.

  Can you confirm the hotels for Bari and Lecce please? We want to stay in 5 star hotels: Dimora Fantasia Charme B&B & La Fiermontina - Urban Resort Lecce.

  For the transfers can you give details per person per trip: 1. From the tour hotel in Leece to the Brindisi airport for an ITA domestic flight to Rome leaving at 0620, what is the cost of this 45 minute drive ground transport?
- Tourist JourneyOperator•Written September 2025
  Both transfers would be around the price we mentioned as we have the option to book our vehicles for 4 hours or a full day. The best would be to take a taxi for the Airport transfers if you want to find something a bit cheaper than the private transfer.
