    Absolutely horrendous and terrible organization. The meeting point that was sent to me was incorrect. We arrived at the meeting .1 hour early so that we wouldn’t mess anything up and were informed by the company at that meeting point that our vouchers had nothing to do with them. They then sent us to another company who sent us to another company who sent us to another company and so on we walked around for more than one hour trying to find the correct meeting point Without any success. During this time I telephoned the helpline on the number provided numerous times and was told that someone will call me back. After four attempts still no one called me back and so we completely missed the trip which was devastating for my kids. Eventually at 6 o’clock after numerous calls again, I managed to talk to someone at the so-called customer service hotline who was extremely rude and condescending and in a 20 minute conversation did not allow me to speak. She started off by telling me off for calling so late at night when my trip was booked for 2 PM and then informed me that she was too busy to call me back that day and that I Looney travels was not responsible anyway because I had booked the tour With a third-party on the Internet and therefore it was my fault. I had to wait very patiently for 20 minutes while she rented on about how busy she was that day and everything was my fault before she hung up without allowing me to say anything I have since written a couple of times asking for a refund but have not received any response from, the organizer

    Talked to Max at Oxford station and booked a punting tour for 1:30 pm. The tour itself with Neil on the punt was excellent, he was informative and great to talk to. It was really lovely to glide on the river and see things from another angle. However, I made a small mistake and put in my non-traveller email address. The confirmation email went to that address and then I couldn't access it, (Google thought I was a hacker as I wasn't at my normal IP). Long story short, we had a problem going on the punting tour, as I had no confirmation email, (but had payment receipt). Neil at the boat hire, then made a phone call and honored the booking. Maybe they need to have a back-up system for those of us who have IT issues. It can't just be me!
