The Great Indian Rail Journey

I have recently returned from The Great Rail Journey and I cannot praise Saga enough. From being picked up and driven to the airport to staying in good hotels, everything was brilliant from start to finish. Our guide Kamlendra Bharti was extremely knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience India

Greece holiday

Recently contacted Saga to book a holiday to Greece for later in the year. I spoke to the Saga rep, Emma, who was very helpful and clearly explained everything regarding flight times and changes to the itinerary that was previously advertised. Looking forward to the trip.

I called Saga Travel as I was unable to find an available flight when I tried to make a booking online. My call was taken by Melanie and she was able to find an available flight to make a booking in June for me. She was very kind and helpful. I am very grateful for her help.

Had my first ever trip on spirit of Discovery

Had my first ever trip on spirit of discovery - did not like it very much colour scheme etc looked like a care home. Being single they charged me the same as two people sooooo not worth it. Excursions were not too good and for me all the stuff they do on board is the same at home in the village? If you like this kind of stuff and surroundings the same as at home then this is for you. I found it very regimented and if you fall out of line it is very difficult you kept being got at all the time verbally they do not take into account that all people are different.. The food was ok desserts extremely sweet, but ask for food if you are not well out of the hours they do not like it. One has to beg.
Found they did their best but they had very strict guide lines like being at school. Needless to say will never go on a Saga Cruise again although i am up there in age I am young at heart and found this cruise stifling and I paid far too much money could have taken someone with me for free at the rate they charged it is just not ethical.

PS. sorry Deb but wont be traveling with you again what something a bit more challenging and stimulating Thank you for your standard letter.

Hi Alice,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, particularly as this was your first time travelling with us.

Our teams work within set frameworks to ensure consistency, safety and comfort for all guests, but we do regret that this felt restrictive rather than reassuring on this occasion.

Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams for review. We also understand how important it is for guests who travel solo to feel they are receiving fair value, and we’re sorry that this was a point of frustration for you.

While we’re pleased to hear that our crew tried to support guests as best they could, it’s disappointing to know that the overall experience felt stifling rather than enjoyable. That’s certainly not the feeling we want anyone to take away from a holiday with us.

Thank you again for your honest feedback. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, as it helps us reflect and improve. We do hope that despite your experience on this occasion, you will still consider us for your future travel plans.

Best Wishes,
Deb

Appalling website.

Tried to enter passport details online. Large banner advised details to be entered exactly as in the passport, however, “British Citizen” is not available in the nationality drop down list. Chose “United Kingdom” which is a country and not a nationality but was unable to then edit. So, exact details required or not? To make matters worse, the website crashes completely when trying to enter my partners details. Resorted to phoning to get details entered, call handler was polite and put in the details but couldn’t care less about the problems with the website.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry for the frustration you experienced when submitting your details. That’s understandably confusing and not the level of clarity we aim to provide.

We’re also disappointed to hear about the technical issues when adding a second traveller, and that this ultimately forced you to contact us by phone. While it’s good to know our colleague was able to assist with completing the details, it’s concerning that your wider feedback about the website wasn’t acknowledged more fully.

Your comments will be passed on to the relevant teams so both the functionality and the way concerns are handled can be reviewed. Thank you again for highlighting this, feedback like yours helps us identify where improvements are needed.

We hope that despite these booking issues, you have a great holiday.

Best Wishes,
Deb

I would like to praise the experience I had in contacting a member of staff to discuss some queries with a holiday I was interested in. My call was promptly answered once I had got through the pre-recorded information which I must say seemed to take quite a lot of time. The member of staff was very friendly, professional and patient with helping me with my queries. I am hoping the holiday will prove to be just as good.

Excellent Help

My experience on booking my holiday to Croatia was excellent due to Saga's Manisha's help. She managed to get a room for me to be with my friend. The phone call took half an hour and just about everything was arranged. Am now looking forward to my holiday with excitement. I would recommend Saga holidays to everyone.

Exceptional Saga telephone assistant

I booked a Saga trip to India and experienced great frustration attempting to obtain an evisa. I spent most of this afternoon on the application process but the website repeatedly crashed. I telephoned Saga and assistant Chandan Shekhawat spent a very long time helping me complete the process. He showed great patience, professionalism and humour. I rarely write reviews but he deserved praise. Thank you. Keith Saga customer S269479.

Foothills of the Himalayas

I had a great time, seeing some wonderful sites. The tour managers knowledge, calm and friendly approach made me feel very supported. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good for a lot of trip, hence not five star, but I still enjoyed myself tremendously

Magic of the Nile

Just returned from a Magic of the Nile Cruise. It was very well organised. The Tour Manager was excellent, and all the arrangements worked well. The Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for the subject was apparent throughout. Altogether a very enjoyable and worthwhile trip. Michael
