Negative experience: It very unlikely to book another holiday with your company following an incident that happened on a booked tour to Santorini and Crete. So you can stop emailing me. I fell getting down from the airport bus at Santorini which resulted in a two week stay in hospital there and Athens. Plus, a further 2 weeks back in Chichester. There were 3 calls from your tour manager during the week but nothing from Andante merely a cancellation charge of all the monies paid for the holiday when my wife and I merely flew to Santorini.

We are so sorry you had an accident on arrival in Santorini. We were in constant communication with your Tour Manager at the time and asked her to visit you on our behalf. We asked for our 24hr number to be conveyed to your family should they need any assistance once the group left Santorini but it sounds as though this information was not provided. We understood your insurer was dealing with your repatriation and all cancellation costs but if this was not the case please let us know. Kind regards, Andante Travels

Negative experience: I am not generally one to write a scathing review but have decided to add to my previous Andante review as we have just received an email offering 10% discount if we book a tour and pay in full 12 months in advance. DO NOT do this! This is exactly what we did and when Andante then cancels the tour, they make you wait 2 plus months for your refund. We are still waiting for our AUD19,500 (£9,600) to be refunded back whilst needing to pay for another tour with another tour group at very late notice. Andante has had our money for 12 months invested - they promised in their response to my previous review that it would be paid back a week ago and we are still waiting! If I could give this company zero stars in the review I would.

Hi Beverley, We are so sorry, there has clearly been a failure of process on our part and clearly we need to investigate why this happened to make sure it doesn’t happen again. You have been refunded and the money will be in your account by end of the day. We will be contacting you to make sure you have received it. Is there is anything we can do to make this up to you? The Andante Team.

Fantastic experience: A professional company who organised an excellent guided tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The tour manager, hotel, meals and all travel arrangements were as promised. I can't recommend this company enough.

Negative experience: Andante used to be wonderful and I had some marvellous holidays with them. It appears that it is now impossible to contact them: a phone message left a week ago has gone unanswered, as has an email. And this is not the first time....

Dear Ms Jepson, Firstly, my sincere apologies for the poor service you have received from us. Our objective is to give exquisite guest service at every touch point and we’ve clearly let you down. My colleague will aim to look for you within our system and call you tonight or first thing tomorrow. Kind Regards, Jon Woods, Head of Marketing

Negative experience: This Company refused to refund our money when our holiday to Italy was cancelled last year as a result of the pandemic. This was contrary to their own Terms and Conditions (which they are happy to apply to their customers) and the Package Travel Regulations 2018. Not only that but they then refused to comply with a Court Order so that we had to go to the further hassle of getting a Third Party Debt Order to retrieve our refund directly from their account. We have never dealt with such an unprofessional company before and cannot recommend them.
