| NST Travel Group | A very time-intensive trip leader experience with poor service. Fortunately we have run a high number of similar trips before so I knew what had not been considered, but on every email sent I received an email to give me an agent’s working hours, stating they were only available two days a week. Lots of extra work created to book the experience as we wanted and incorrect assumptions made by the agent. A device sent out to use whilst away, which was dated, not easy to operate without reading a lot of information and added an additional task to post the device back. Poor scheduling on the Saturday with insufficient time for lunch. Poor communication with the coach company who did not have the capacity to fulfil their role fully as we needed. We switched to NST due to their Covid promise but probably won’t use again. | 17 January 2022 | |
