We pre-booked a couple of trips here. Just like any other site. But 3 of the trips got cancelled. Not by us but by the tour operators. They call us and said we needed to get our money back at backbackerdeals. Almost one month later and we still got nothing back. Every time we e-mail them we get the answer “we will get back at you”. They did offer us travel credit but we don’t want that. We want our money back. So if you book, hopefully you don’t get cancelled cause you don’t get your money back.
Booking a van with you was the best experience! Slam Duncan was very friendly and helpful! 10/10, highly recommended!
I am a bit of a pain in the ass with all my problems and questions,but Duncan and Fiona helped me and solved everything for me in no time. The app is not very much user friendly sometimes but the customer support is tiptop!! Thank you guys!
Chloe was very helpful with my complex booking requests. She had excellent knowledge and was very pleasant to deal with.
Thanks to duncan for working with the operator and getting back with confirmation quickly
When booking our Walter Peak/TSS Earnslaw Steamboat excursion the times got mixed. So I needed assistance moving the time from 1p to 5pm. I reached out on the Backpackers chat and had assistance from Duncan right away. Duncan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Duncan assistance with the change in no time! Thanks so very much!
I had a great experience booking with Duncan for the Doubtful Sound Overnight in December. He made it fast and easy to book. Thanks, Duncan!
We had an issue with a tour we booked, and Chloe was able to help us quickly resolve it!
Duncan was super helpful and got my tour booked quickly when I was having some trouble. Great experience.
Chloe and Kt was amazing
They are always online and provide quick answers!
And always happy to help!
Good on them!
I booked a Whale Watching tour in Gold Coast through this company and silly me booked the wrong day! Thankfully, I reached out and Chloe managed to amend my booking with no issues within less than 10 minutes. Thank you Chloe 😄
Chris White is somebody that I have been working with, and have been friends with for years. He does everything to ensure his clients and staff are happy and taken care of. After years of working with him in Portugal, I am now doing real estate shows in Singapore, Miami, the UK, Ireland, and am currently working from one of his offices in the Philippines. Great business owner, boss, friend, property advisor, and legend! X
Katie was so friendly and helpful in answering all my questions. She really helped me get a better idea of which itinerary I want to join.
Katie was truly wonderful! Extremely friendly, helpful & patient. She answered all of my questions completely, honestly & was very thorough with everything & was absolutely lovely, she is a true asset to your company & deserves to be rewarded
I called their helpline number for a cancellation and was put on wait for 5 minutes after which the call got disconnected. Throughout these 5 minutes, they kept replaying the same message over and over again about "chat with agent online". I heard it alteast a 100 times and gave me a headache. Why cant you put some music or something while putting people on hold ? I also raised a cancellation request on their website, but there has been no acknowledgement of the cancellation or any way for me to track the status. This is so disappointing !
I had some problems changing a booking and Duncan really helped me out with it. Cheers!
10 out of 5 stars Duncan at backpackerdeals. I booked a flight into Uluru before booking accommodation, and there wasn't a bed to be had anywhere in the vicinity until multiple nights after my arrival. With overnight temps at 0, having no camping gear with me, and no other travelers with me- it wasn't looking great. Until I connected with Duncan, the absolute LEGEND over the backpackerdeals online chat. I told him my challenge and that I was looking for a multi-night camping tour that I could join the very next day (at what I now know is the height of the season). Duncan was a pro, found the perfect outing with a last minute spot, camping gear and warm sleeping gear provided, and because my flight arrived hours after the tour departed Uluru he even arranged for me to be picked up by the tour driver at a safe location later that evening. As if that wasn't everything and more- he included a deal code to help out as well. See- LEGEND.
I made an error when booking a trip. I'm writing to thank Duncan, at the call centre, who calmly rectified my booking error and reassured me that a refund would be put in place.
Real adequate, and quick help from Katie when some issues arose while booking trips!
