we book a ocean safari tour and it was without any trouble! we had a great experience
I just wanted to take a moment to say how impressed I was with the support I received from Katie regarding my inquiry about the Uluru camping tour. She was incredibly helpful, providing a clear and detailed explanation of the tour options, itinerary, and what to expect. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the planning process so much easier and truly enjoyable.
Katie went above and beyond to ensure all my questions were answered and that I felt confident in choosing the right tour. It's rare to receive such thoughtful and thorough assistance, and it made a big difference in my experience.
Thank you, Katie, for your outstanding service, it was truly appreciated!
Katie has been super helpful with the booking process, responsive and clear all through. It was a very smooth experience.
Just want to say a special thanks to Alan for helping me with my cashback issue. He was so helpful and he found a solution in the end which made my day :) Thanks Alan, you're the best! - Rosie
I could not find what I was looking for so I opened a chat and Katie helped me with everything I needed very quickly and nicely!
Duncan helped me by answering all my questions of the differences between the Jucy Crib and the Jucy Chaser. He was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and kind. He will make our trip to New Zealand so much better.
Do not book via them! I booked a reef cruise tour with them but it got cancelled due to strong wind. Everyone else booked on the provider’s official website got their refund immediately however no one from backpackers or travello has been responding to our refund requests!!! Terrible!!!
Was having some trouble with payment and changing dates and Duncan helped me all the way through.
Super good service 👍🏼
such great customer service. Contacted via whatsapp and my request was solved within 15 minutes (!!). Very impressed! Big thanks Alan for the quick fix.
Thanks for your online help, Duncan! I hope the tour is as good as your customer service.
Service was prompt and helpful. Duncan was great.
Very quick reply and I like the way they took time to look into my question, find a solution and then advice me as to how to book and how to get it at the cheapest price. Lovely kind words from the lady I spoke with, her name was Chloe. I am very impressed and would highly recommend them. Thank you
Alan was extremely helpful with the whole booking experience and also threw in a discount code and helped with the cashback and linked me up with Duncan to book my campervan tomorrow using the cashback! Saved me abit of money for more activities and meals. Will update the review again tomorrow after speaking to Duncan and booking the campervan.
Duncan Esplin is a valuable support to your crew. I had a terrible experience with Travello as they forgot to book 1 tour after taking payment and were very slow in refunding another tour that was cancelled by the tour operator. It took 5 weeks for their staff members to process and give me answers. Just a week ago , I had a chat with Duncan and he completed my job within 2 days. I am so happy to have interacted with him.
He is a really good customer service manager.
If Duncan had not helped me , i would never consider to book in with Travello again cause other agents are so horrible and I am glad that they left the company.
Shout out to Duncan, he was great, he must be to put up with my no coffee yet.... bookings. He quickly answered my questions and I went ahead and booked two activities really easy. Thanks for your patience Duncan. 5 🌟 service.
Katie has been great with helping me make my bookings. Very friendly, prompt and quick. Fixed the issue with my voucher codes in a flash !!
Thanks much and best wishes.
Katie was really helpful in processing my urgent cancellation which had a tight deadline before my refund rights were revoked. Kudos Katie. 🎉
Thanks a lot, Katie, for kindly answering my questions! Your support gave me the courage to go ahead and book the tour!
Thankyou Chloe for assisting me with making this booking on a Vivid cruise - especially as I had some special needs - and you went above and beyond to make this all run seamlessly
We're really looking forward to our Vivid cruise
Thanks again - from Julie
