Disappointing experience.
Grand Designs of Portugal.
Just because the itinerary mentions your stays will be in luxury Pousadas don’t expect to have a luxury room or fine dining. The standard of rooms we experienced were below that of medium priced hotels. Deeply disappointed by the holiday and Saga’s response to my complaint. Terrible customer service.

Hi Grace,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to read how disappointed you were with both the accommodation standards and your overall experience. We appreciate that expectations around the Pousadas are high, and we are sorry that the rooms and dining did not meet those expectations during your trip.
We are also concerned to hear your comments about customer service and your experience following your complaint. This is certainly not the level of care we aim to provide, and we are sorry that you feel let down.
We understand that our Guest Experience Team have already been in touch with you. However, if you have any further concerns, please do respond directly to their correspondence, we would very much welcome the opportunity to make sure that your feedback is fully addressed.
Your comments are important to us and have been shared with the relevant teams as we continuously review and improve our tours.
We do hope that we can go some way to restoring your faith in us.
Best Wishes,

Following my previous review
Following my previous review, it was suggested that I contact Customer service to see if they could help further. This morning I was contacted by a young lady (Carolina), saying how sorry they were about the events that lead up to cancellation, and who could have been a robot, reiterating their cancellation policy. Maybe if their cancellation policy was highlighted, ( instead of being contained within their very many pages of terms and conditions) at the time of booking, ie if cancelled with 28 days of their holiday date, regardless of a Medical Emergency, Saga would only refund 10% of their fully paid holiday, I wonder how many of their (valued?) Seniors would book?

BE AWARE 90% cancellation fee
If there was a 0 response they would have it! My husband was in hospital for 6 days, having had a heart attack and various procedures, stress or what? We had 28 days to go before a booked holiday with Saga and they have charged us 90% cancellation fee on a holiday that was nearly £4000, more stress! We thought Saga was a company that catered for the elderly and whilst knowing a cancellation fee may be due, 90% does seem extreme. Who can predict a heart attack? so be aware no quarter given by Saga.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about your husband’s recent health emergency. We hope he is now recovering well.
We completely understand how distressing it must have been to cancel your holiday under such unexpected and worrying circumstances. Our cancellation charges are set out in our booking conditions and are based on how close to departure the cancellation is made. We do appreciate, however, that situations like this are unforeseen and extremely difficult.
For this reason, we always strongly recommend that customers take out comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking, as this can often cover cancellation costs in the event of serious illness or medical emergencies.
We would very much like the opportunity to look into your situation further and see if there is anything more we can do to help. Please could you contact our Guest Experience team directly at customerservices@sagatravelgroup.com, including your booking details, so we can review your case in more detail.
Best Wishes,
Deb

California & The Golden West - 16 days
The tour itinerary was brilliant. So many famous and fascinating places to visit that you'd only heard about on TV or the movies. Sadly our enjoyment was impeded by our inexperienced tour manager and driver. They did successfully manage to get us from the beginning of the tour to the end but everything in between was pretty unsatisfactory. Unusual for Saga.
They were clearly not familiar with our route as we got lost at least three times trying to find hotels which wasted about three hours overall. Plus on arrival in LAX the coach was missing and took an hour and a half to turn up. We were left to our own devices for that time with no confirmation what was going on or updates. The tour manager seemed to have little idea what people wanted from such a tour or what information would help them. Every morning we were treated to meandering 35-45 minute Wikipedia histories of the rough area we were travelling through which were interminable, irrelevant and boring. There was no connection with the 'now'. They never pointed out anything we passed or made any insightful and relevant comments. The manager did not seek to develop relationships with any of the 31 travellers - although the driver David G was excellent in that regard. The manager kept each day's plans to themselves and left us in the dark as to where and when we would be stopping and what facilities would be available when we got there. The last day's tour of LA was a disaster. They never mentioned the Hollywood sign which some of us saw at a distance early in the tour but we never went anywhere near it and nobody got a chance to get a photo of it. Very disappointing for many on the coach as that was exactly what they went to LA to see. It was like going to London and never seeing Big Ben or even hearing it mentioned. The fabled visit to Manhattan Beach never materialised. Also at one point the bus stopped and the manager and driver discussed for 20 minutes about where to go next. Eventually they decided on a shopping mall. Fortunately a passenger challenged this and said they thought we were going to Santa Monica for lunch so we went there.
What we didn't know was only two minutes walk away was the immensely famous Rodeo Drive which many folk wanted to visit but had to be satisfied with a brief glimpse as we drove by. When it would have been so easy to walk over and see it during the wasted 20 minute stop. The manager kept a cool distance between themselves and the group and rarely joined in any of the walks round the places we stopped at and never added anything useful information-wise as (we assume) they didn't know anything. As we only had local guides on two mornings that left 15 whole days effectively guideless.
The general feeling on the coach towards the end of the tour was how it might have been enhanced as an experience if led by a friendlier, more informed, upbeat, experience enhancer than the person we were allocated.
As always, the tour manager is the critical part in making a trip enjoyable and successful. We all accept things won't always go right and there is a huge tolerance for that in a group on the whole, but this tour frankly wasn't up to scratch. Disappointing.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that aspects of your tour did not meet the high standard you were expecting.
Your comments about the level of direction, clarity of daily plans, and missed opportunities at key locations are extremely important. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we fully recognise how much a knowledgeable and engaging tour manager contributes to the enjoyment of a trip. It’s also disappointing to hear about the delays, navigation issues, and lack of communication on arrival, which must have been frustrating.
We do appreciate your positive note regarding the itinerary itself and your driver, and we’re glad there were elements of the tour you were able to enjoy. That said, it’s clear that improvements are needed to ensure consistency across all aspects of the experience.
Please be assured that your feedback will be shared with the relevant teams so it can be reviewed thoroughly and used to make meaningful improvements going forward. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We do hope that you will consider us for your future travel plans.

We saw and experienced a great deal. From the bus having to reverse in a road tunnel to seeing the expanse of Tokyo from the Skytree. From doing our best to avoid eating Horsemeat to sampling a range of delicious Japanese dishes.

Essence of Japan tour
Sarah Nye was an excellent tour manager, also Reiko was a great tour guide.
I enjoyed Japan, the people were lovely and country was fascinating. Watching sumo wrestling live was great, I found it really exciting.
I expected there to be a lot of walking but I didn't expect quite so many steps to all the places we visited. Some places were extremely crowded with many large groups of schoolchildren which made seeing things difficult.
The hotels and coaches were all very good quality, the staff were very helpful and the coaches were always on time.
The booking process was simple and the chauffeur service from the house was excellent and much appreciated.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We are so pleased you had such a positive journey and that both Sarah and Reiko helped bring the experience to life for you. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the culture, the warmth of the people, and highlights like seeing sumo wrestling in person.
We appreciate your comments about the pace and the level of walking involved, as well as the busy nature of some locations, this is really helpful insight for future guests. It’s great to know the accommodation, transport, and punctuality all met your expectations, and that the booking process and chauffeur service made things smooth from start to finish.
Thank you again for sharing your experience with us, we look forward to you joining us again soon.

Booking Experience
Just booked with Lisa for India's Golden Triangle Escorted tour. I usually book online but had a couple of questions and wanted to speak to someone directly. How nice it was to do that, Lisa was patient, helpful, informative and made it so easy to do! I did a bit of chopping and changing but she couldn't have been nicer and so much better than online bots etc. Thank You Lisa!

Saga's refusal to honour a written quotation…
Sad that I have to give such a poor rating to saga when all my previous bookings with them have been satisfactory. The details are as follows:-OnMay 13th I looked up a holiday for 1st of September, and was sent a written quote (by email).When I later attempted to turn this into a firm booking, your system refused to accept it and UNBELIEVABLY INCREASED THE PRICE BY A MASSIVE £631. (18 %). I followed this up with a phone call to your customer "service", which resulted in me being on the phone for the best part of an hour, with the agent being unable to find the email quote. After being offered an alternative price which still fell short of the original quote (which I declined) . This resulted in me having to email a copy of the original quote to the agent whilst I was still on the phone to her. She then undertook to ring me back shortly after the matter had been looked into. This she did and agreed to book the holiday at the original quoted price.There are many aspects of Sagas service which are attractive such as home pick up and return, but your web site and phone booking system leave a great deal to be desired. As for this particular booking is concerned, it has now been resolved to my satisfaction, but has left me with a somewhat jaundiced view of Saga's Customer Service in general, and in particular its somewhat "opaque" Pricing Policies.

Hi Geoffrey,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are really sorry this situation caused you frustration and took so much effort to resolve.
We appreciate you highlighting how the pricing inconsistency and difficulty locating your quote affected your confidence. We understand why this would be disappointing. It’s also concerning to hear how long you had to spend on the phone, particularly when you had already been provided with written confirmation.
That said, we’re pleased the issue was ultimately put right and that the original price was honoured, but we recognise this should have been a much smoother and more transparent process from the outset.
Your feedback regarding both our website and phone booking experience is invaluable and will be shared with the relevant teams to help improve clarity and reliability going forward.
We truly value your continued loyalty and are grateful you’ve travelled with us before. We hope we can restore your confidence in the future and that you have a wonderful holiday.

Adriatic Coastal Explorer
Our original holiday was planned to Jordan but for obvious reasons it was cancelled so we opted for the Adriatic Coastal Explorer. This was wonderful.
The MY Amorena is a beautiful yacht, immaculately maintain by the crew of seven. The food was delicious, always plenty and how the two chefs managed in such a small galley was great. Our tour manager, Bobby was first class. He showed his pride in his country with every explanation of the landscape, the people, their history and their customs, their education system and something that was close to Bobby's heart, their food.
He recommended the right places to eat to get authentic Croatian food. Our evening entertainment was well organised to suit the age demographic of everyone on board.

It’s fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed life on board MY Amorena. The crew work incredibly hard to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, and your kind words about their care, attention to detail, and culinary efforts will mean a great deal to them.
We’re also thrilled that Bobby made such a positive impact on your trip. His passion and knowledge really enhance the experience, and it’s lovely to know his recommendations and insights helped you connect more closely with the destination.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another adventure in the future.

Great holiday
Beautiful boat, beautiful scenery, great crew, good food - far too much! - and the guide was excellent. Also, the chauffeur driven transfers are a great luxury that we really enjoyed, except for the return journey where the driver drove appallingly badly throughout the journey, took our post code for his sat nav whilst driving out of the car park. Didn’t know where his car was and we had to search 3 floors, with our luggage, to find it and then had all proximity sensors blaring until we finally managed to get him to turn them off!

Excellent from being collected to being dropped home.
The tour guide was so engaging with our group and was so knowledgeable, caring and so efficient. We were all so lucky to have Bobby with us. The crew on the Amorena was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble, the food the cleanliness, the restaurant manager were so attentive kind and friendly we were thoroughly looked after.
The Amorena is a beautiful boat it felt like a boat from the 1950's such nostalgia, but it had such modern facilities. It was a wonderful holiday from start to finishing. I am so glad we had the opportunity to sail with this crew and tour manager on this holiday. All the guests (27) of us were in agreement it was such a fantastic holiday for us all.
