BEWARE, poor service or may even be a holiday / travel scam

BEWARE !!! RSD cancelled our holiday to South Africa the day before we were meant to travel. They gave very little explanation and said the flights had been cancelled due to the floods in dubai. However when I check I can see that both legs of our journey ( London to Dubai and Dubai to Johannesburg) operated on time . Why did RSD cancel our holiday then and claim that the floods in Dubai were the issue. RSD has not been in contact with us since they advised our holiday was cancelled. I think RSD may be a holiday scam and I will be reporting this to the police !!

Trip to India

I think this is our 6th holiday with you I would like to thank RSD for an incredible journey. Our guide Raees Mond’s breadth and depth of knowledge of the history of India was phenomenal. He truly made the visit to India an adventure of a life time. He was very helpful at all times of day or night. Raees ensured and was instrumental in the success of the holiday

Disappointed

I called the number on the English Heritage magazine to make enquiries and to book the Rhodes and Aegean tour for 2025. I could not believe how mean the receptionist who picked up the phone was. He hung up on me while we were still talking. I called back twice and he hung up each time.

Croatia and Montenego

Croatia and Montenego I agree with everything 2 other people wrote about the Pearl Beach Resort in Canji. The 2nd week in the Croatia and Montenegro holiday. I am there at the moment and can't wait to go home. I have never ever wanted to go home early from a holiday before. It's the first hotel in 40 years I've ever stayed in with no lounges with comfortable seats. Just a bar with fairly hard seats. The indoor pool was unheated and not really indoors as it had a retractable roof which was always open. The shower in there only cold water, no changing room and an empty jacuzzi. There was no tourist information whatsoever in the hotel about buses or taxis etc. They only wanted you to go on their expensive excursions. The food was not hot enough and you had to put your own plate in the microwave supplied! Also the hot water was never boiling to make cups of tea and had to be put in the microwave. As other people have said there is absolutely nothing in walking distance of the hotel except one fish restaurant and I'm allergic to fish. The hotel was very clean and our room was nice but with a tiny shower area in the bathroom. You had to hold the shower as there was nowhere to hook it above waist level. Also no panel or anything to stop you soaking the toilet etc. The buffet food was average for hotels.

Just back from a fab trip to Croatia

Just back from a fab trip to Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina & Montenegro. Great to see so many lovely places during the first week. We had a very knowledgeable, fun, friendly tour guide Gulcin. She made sure we had all necessary info re hotels and excursions. Tour hotels were all very comfortable with modern rooms and shower rooms. Most with pools & balconies with nice view. Only one night no view, but as out most of day touring this isn't an issue. Always a great selection of food too, mainly buffet. Due to low season dates, we would definitely recommend the all inclusive option too. The 2nd week hotel was 4*.....4 pools, great food and drink selection, great staff.....always happy to help. Location outside hotel was quiet and in process of being done up as most other businesses open 1st May, but on an off season holiday at such a great price (approx £900 for 15 days, a 7 day half board tour, all inc 2nd week, really cant complain) this can be expected. Met lots of other lovely folk on the trip too....lots of fun had! It was a fab mystery tour. Thankyou RSD and all who made it such a great trip!

We had a problem at the start of our holiday when our flight was diverted to another airport. RSD advised us to take a taxi to our first hotel, and reimbursed the costs, and arranged for the part of our tour we missed to be given at the end of the week. They handled this problem well. Better food on the package would have earned tgem 5 stars.

Very satisfied.

When I see bad reviews about this company I decided to write this. I recently went Croatia and Montenegro tour with them. Every thing from booking to the end of tour very smooth. Very well planned and professional service. I tried to find any complaints but couldn't. Some people find it rushing But I think it is not possible to achieve such an extensive itinerary without a tight schedule. Some people have lots of moaning about jewellery, carpet and leather factory. But for me it is a different experience. Although the products seem expensive they are quality products .We can witness them but no need to buy . There are many ways we can appreciate their effort. It is a very well planned tour, we were provided Excellent Hotels with delicious food. Comfortable modern coaches. I am not ungrateful to forget our guide Mr Mahir and Driver Joshep. They are simply excellent, helpful. This was my second trip with RSD and not the last. I have already booked Rhodes with them next year.

Incredible India

RSD Travel : India tour We joined the RSD group tour of Palaces and Forts of Rajasthan in March 2024, having experienced excellent guidance from the same company in the UAE in 2019. Throughout our travels, we were in awe of our empathetic and knowledgeable guide, Mohammed Raees, who told us about Gods, castes, religion, politics, education, in the most impeccable English and who was able to anticipate travel needs throughout. Raees surprised us with treats when we scarcely were aware that we needed them. He shielded us from hard selling moments, by allowing some souvenirs to be brought on board the coach. Both the tourists and the local sellers seemed to find his tactics worked. Raees also made time to socialise with the group during the all-important meal-times at hotels. Without doubt, he was the star of this RSD road-show. We have returned with tremendous insights in to the culture of this vast sub-continent. The pace of the tour was intense, the accumulation of knowledge was breathtaking. I think that RSD tends to reward its participants with some down-time. This tour was perhaps a little relentless and I would have valued an opportunity to relax a little bit. Janine and Chris Turner

Dear Janine Turner, Thank you very much for your feedback regarding your recent trip to India. We know how valuable your holiday time is and we are therefore particularly pleased that you enjoyed your tour with us. We are also pleased to hear that your tour guide, Raees, was charming, very well informed and behaved in a professional and competent manner. We hope to travel again with you in the future!

RSD Croatia & Montenegro 15 days

Currently on our 2nd week of 15 day tour of Croatia and montenegro. Absolutely super hotels, food and tour guide, first week is a bit full on but we knew it would be and 2nd week hotel is first class. All hotels were good, clean and food excellent. My advice would be to do the upgrade especially 2nd week, it's worth 41 euros per day just for drinks. Local beer and wine very good. 2nd week hotel is kumoor montenegro,4 star, there are some restaurants open April within 15 minute walk. I would do this trip again, I had an injury to my knee 2 weeks before the holiday so had to use a stick but I still managed to do everything. Of course good weather helps and in April it ranged from 19 to 26 degrees.

Don’t buy the Croatia-Bosnia-Montenegro tour

I go on holiday to relax, see new sights and enjoy myself. Instead on this trip I have never felt so anxious or stressed while on holiday. First there is (unnecessarily) no certainty about hotels or timings for each visit - at least they (W Touristic the local agent) don’t tell you until the last minute each day. This suspense allows the hard selling and manipulative (I am not exaggerating - this was a word used by many of my fellow travellers) main guide to push the extras. It was truly thuggish and bullying. The trips may have been worth doing - but they were not value for money. The full board upgrade for the second week (so called free week) hotel was sold particularly hard - ‘unless you upgrade’ the guide said ‘I cannot guarantee that you will be in this good hotel’. Non-upgraders, even half-boarders, were made to feel guilty, ashamed even. Assumedly he was on a commission. If you don’t go on the trips then the time is yours, but expect to be dumped somewhere while you wait for the coach to pick you. And the trips and upgrades had to be paid in cash, not by card, which upset a lot of people. (No doubt the local tax authorities would be interested in this ruse). What made this worse is the second week hotel didn’t offer bed and breakfast, ‘bed only’ being the only purported upgrade option (an unusual marketing technique). Given the nearest open restaurant in April was over a mile away, this would have constrained many of the older travellers in our group. Personally I always like to visit the local restaurants and mingle with non-tourists when I am away and this proved to be the better option. Yes the food in the hotels was (mostly) good but eating typical buffet food for two weeks even for the diehard fan is just too much. I don’t mind going to the carpet factory, or the jewellery and leather (coat) outlet but we all expected to see and celebrate some local craftspeople making goods. But it was not to be - just the hard sell of manufactured goods brought into a warehouse to entice tourists into buying. We don’t do bartering they say - oh, but they do. I once bought a carpet in a market in Istanbul so I was ready for ratcheting up of the sales spiel. But I was not ready psychologically for when 40 sales people suddenly entered the room and picked you off! I have had more anxiety attacks and sleepless nights on this holiday than I ever got from work. These factory visits help subsidise the holiday but the reason you will go on the trip is that it appears to be good value. Beware. Finally, the aspect that attracted me to this holiday was the variety of UNESCO and similar historic sights that were on offer. But you get to spend so little time at each place that you never really absorb the history in any depth. The guides at each city (who all need tipping) were mostly good but the experience is shallow. Many of us were entranced by Budva and Kotor and were able to return after our token visit as these towns could be accessed from our resort by bus. The desire to travel by bus was not anticipated by our main guide who assumed we would sit in the second hotel with our full upgrade and loads of free drink. We wondered often if the tour was designed around his convenience (and so he can glean Euro20 of tips per person) - he did prefer the hotels with a gym, rather than as an opportunity to delight the visitor. Do not be late for the coach or you will be left behind! On three occasions he would have happily left people behind. On one of these occasions two of us went out on a search party for an elderly and clearly confused woman since the main guide was in a hurry and was not going to wait. We found her but while we were out our partners were pressured into trying to ring us to find out where we were after just five minutes. Disgraceful behaviour! Don’t go with RSD.

Dear Nick Coates, We are very sorry that you have cause for complaint. We have received your comments, and our Customer relations team will be in contact. We hope we will be able to resolve the issues you have raised. Kind regards, RSD Travel Team

RSD Cappadocia trip October 2023

Cappadocia trip, October 2023. Exceptionally well organised from start to finish - including flights, transfers and tours. Interesting tour programme, knowledgeable guides and quality hotels at very affordable prices. I am a 64 yo, solo traveller and appreciate RSD's low cost solo supplement - much lower than other "No single supplement, Solo specialist agencies". I have done four tours with RSD and am doing my fifth in May. A lot of the RSD travellersare I meet are return customers - says a lot. Exceptional VFM for couples on a budget and likewise for solo tourists like myself.

A most enjoyable fortnight

A most enjoyable fortnight. The sights in Rhodes and Turkey were fascinating and memorable, even to those with no in-depth interest in history. Our guide was knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. Hotels were mainly very comfortable and the food delicious. All in all it was a great trip - relaxing, edifying and comfortable, all at an excellent price.

Cracking Cappadocia,

We had a fantastic holiday in Cappadocia with RSD Travel. From initial check-in until our return flight home, it was a great experience. On the tour week we saw many interesting sights at a steady pace. The accommodation and food were very good. The extra week hotel ,the Simona Comfort Hotel, was particularly good and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. For value for money, RSD Travel simply can't be beaten!

We had a great holiday

We had a great holiday, visiting Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Montenegro. The first week was an interesting tour of ancient cities and learning about the history of the places we visited. The hotels we stayed in were mostly very good, there was one hotel where we had to lug our cases up several flights of steps as there were no lifts. The tour guide was pleasant and well informed and all the excursions were well organised. Week two was spent at a beach resort in Montenegro, the hotel here was tired but satisfactory and the location was beautiful and again we could easily use the local bus to visit the nearby town.

RSD Indian Tour Excels

Cultural tour of India excelling with an outstanding guide. I have high expectations of RSD tours, but Devendra Singh raised this trip to another level. He handled the range of Indian culture and heritage sites impeccably and was able to unite an internationally diverse coachload of 36 by his positive approach to human relationships. This was an unforgettable and rejuvenating experience. I could even cope with 38 degree heat, basking in the glow of genuine concern and attention to detail.

Most disappointing operation

I was recommended this holiday by a previous guest, sadly it’s gone downhill. A not very informative guide, we learnt more from the internet. I objected to the lock in at the hard sell leather, carpet & jewellery outlets, this is not what I went to Turkey for. Our other complaint concerned the lunchtime stops. If you didn’t buy the lunch package you were left outside a petrol station each of 4 days to sit on the pavement, beyond a joke. I actually booked myself a flight home after the first week I was so disappointed. Waste of money

Croatia/Montenegro October to November

Having recently returned from the October 18 Croatia/Montenergro holiday which was the worst holiday I have ever had, I am posting this review to warn anyone who might be tempted to book a holiday with RSD Travel. My advice to you is – DON’T. I endured all the complaints listed by other reviewers including a surly and unhelpful tour guide, days wasted on unnecessary factory visits, dirty hotel, dogs and cats roaming around the dining room and food covered in flies and wasps. ! will NEVER travel with RSD Travel again.

Avoid the two week trip to Croatia / Montenegro

I would advise against doing a two week trip to Croatia and Montenegro with RSD Travel. The first week of travelling around is OK but second week stuck in a second rate hotel in Montenegro is very boring. The outside pool is empty, the indoor pool lacks a changing room, there are no cafes or bookable trips locally outside the hotel, nothing to do in the evenings, not even anywhere nice to sit in the hotel like a lounge. Food is sometimes reheated, dinner finished at 8pm. The TV only has one channel in English, which is just news. I wouldn't recommend a week in such a backwater unless you plan to use it as a base to travel from to explore further afield. It wasn't a place you could relax at in my opinion.

Cappadocia cultural holiday

RSD organise a very full programme of events and the guide was very friendly and had a lot of local knowledge. The chance to go on the Cappadocia balloon flight was an amazing unforgettable experience. The flight out was a late evening flight which made us tired at the start of the holiday, but that was not a problem. They were very well organised and put us quickly into our coach group.

Cappadocia…

I travelled with RSD Travel to Cappodocia last Sept after having a wonderful holiday with them to Croatia the year before. Flights from Gatwick are a problem for me as I live in Norfolk and no other regional airports are used. There were a few incidents on Turkish trip - coach braking down, lack of first aid kit on the coach and chaos at the departing hotel with luggage. Lack of organisation with passengers arriving and departing with luggage being left outside the hotel. Other than that a good holiday.
