A full range of experiences
We saw and experienced a great deal. From the bus having to reverse in a road tunnel to seeing the expanse of Tokyo from the Skytree. From doing our best to avoid eating Horsemeat to sampling a range of delicious Japanese dishes.

Essence of Japan tour
Sarah Nye was an excellent tour manager, also Reiko was a great tour guide.
I enjoyed Japan, the people were lovely and country was fascinating. Watching sumo wrestling live was great, I found it really exciting.
I expected there to be a lot of walking but I didn't expect quite so many steps to all the places we visited. Some places were extremely crowded with many large groups of schoolchildren which made seeing things difficult.
The hotels and coaches were all very good quality, the staff were very helpful and the coaches were always on time.
The booking process was simple and the chauffeur service from the house was excellent and much appreciated.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We are so pleased you had such a positive journey and that both Sarah and Reiko helped bring the experience to life for you.

We appreciate your comments about the pace and the level of walking involved, as well as the busy nature of some locations, this is really helpful insight for future guests. It’s great to know the accommodation, transport, and punctuality all met your expectations, and that the booking process and chauffeur service made things smooth from start to finish.
Thank you again for sharing your experience with us, we look forward to you joining us again soon.

Booking Experience
Just booked with Lisa for India's Golden Triangle Escorted tour. I usually book online but had a couple of questions and wanted to speak to someone directly. How nice it was to do that, Lisa was patient, helpful, informative and made it so easy to do! I did a bit of chopping and changing but she couldn't have been nicer and so much better than online bots etc. Thank You Lisa!

Saga's refusal to honour a written quotation…
Sad that I have to give such a poor rating to saga when all my previous bookings with them have been satisfactory. The details are as follows:-OnMay 13th I looked up a holiday for 1st of September, and was sent a written quote (by email).When I later attempted to turn this into a firm booking, your system refused to accept it and UNBELIEVABLY INCREASED THE PRICE BY A MASSIVE £631. (18 %). I followed this up with a phone call to your customer "service", which resulted in me being on the phone for the best part of an hour, with the agent being unable to find the email quote. After being offered an alternative price which still fell short of the original quote (which I declined) . This resulted in me having to email a copy of the original quote to the agent whilst I was still on the phone to her. She then undertook to ring me back shortly after the matter had been looked into. This she did and agreed to book the holiday at the original quoted price.There are many aspects of Sagas service which are attractive such as home pick up and return, but your web site and phone booking system leave a great deal to be desired. As for this particular booking is concerned, it has now been resolved to my satisfaction, but has left me with a somewhat jaundiced view of Saga's Customer Service in general, and in particular its somewhat "opaque" Pricing Policies.

Hi Geoffrey,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are really sorry this situation caused you frustration and took so much effort to resolve.
We appreciate you highlighting how the pricing inconsistency and difficulty locating your quote affected your confidence. We understand why this would be disappointing. It’s also concerning to hear how long you had to spend on the phone, particularly when you had already been provided with written confirmation.
That said, we’re pleased the issue was ultimately put right and that the original price was honoured, but we recognise this should have been a much smoother and more transparent process from the outset.
Your feedback regarding both our website and phone booking experience is invaluable and will be shared with the relevant teams to help improve clarity and reliability going forward.
We truly value your continued loyalty and are grateful you’ve travelled with us before. We hope we can restore your confidence in the future and that you have a wonderful holiday.

Adriatic Coastal Explorer
Our original holiday was planned to Jordan but for obvious reasons it was cancelled so we opted for the Adriatic Coastal Explorer. This was wonderful.
The MY Amorena is a beautiful yacht, immaculately maintain by the crew of seven. The food was delicious, always plenty and how the two chefs managed in such a small galley was great. Our tour manager, Bobby was first class. He showed his pride in his country with every explanation of the landscape, the people, their history and their customs, their education system and something that was close to Bobby's heart, their food.
He recommended the right places to eat to get authentic Croatian food. Our evening entertainment was well organised to suit the age demographic of everyone on board.

It’s fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed life on board MY Amorena. The crew work incredibly hard to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, and your kind words about their care, attention to detail, and culinary efforts will mean a great deal to them.
We’re also thrilled that Bobby made such a positive impact on your trip. His passion and knowledge really enhance the experience, and it’s lovely to know his recommendations and insights helped you connect more closely with the destination.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another adventure in the future.

Great holiday
Beautiful boat, beautiful scenery, great crew, good food - far too much! - and the guide was excellent. Also, the chauffeur driven transfers are a great luxury that we really enjoyed, except for the return journey where the driver drove appallingly badly throughout the journey, took our post code for his sat nav whilst driving out of the car park. Didn’t know where his car was and we had to search 3 floors, with our luggage, to find it and then had all proximity sensors blaring until we finally managed to get him to turn them off!

Excellent from being collected to being dropped home.
The tour guide was so engaging with our group and was so knowledgeable, caring and so efficient. We were all so lucky to have Bobby with us. The crew on the Amorena was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble, the food the cleanliness, the restaurant manager were so attentive kind and friendly we were thoroughly looked after.
The Amorena is a beautiful boat it felt like a boat from the 1950's such nostalgia, but it had such modern facilities. It was a wonderful holiday from start to finishing. I am so glad we had the opportunity to sail with this crew and tour manager on this holiday. All the guests (27) of us were in agreement it was such a fantastic holiday for us all. Well Done to everyone

Our recent trip with Saga on the MV Amorena along the Dalmatian coast was excellent. The food was delicious, the crew friendly and efficient, the cabins comfortable and our tour manager Bobby the best we have ever had (and we have been on many Saga holidays!).
Thanks to all the crew and Bobby for a really memorable holiday.

A variety of delights
The stress free pick up from home was a really good way to start our amazing holiday. The beautiful M/Y Amorena was our floating home - the onboard staff worked tirelessly and efficiently to keep her spotlessly clean and us looked after and well fed with a variety of lovely food, local wines and beer. Our tour manager Bobby always there when needed - a fount of knowledge from where to eat out to any detail of local history we might ask about. A swim off the boat in the crystal clear Adriatic in a bay surrounded by spectacular scenery was a real highlight for me. The local guides at the different places we visited managed to strike just the right balance of information and entertainment!

Great service, great holiday.
Great service, great holiday on this SAGA trip on the M/Y Amorena along the north Dalmatian coast. The ship was immaculate, the crew were very friendly, attentive and professional throughout - along with Cruise Director Boze' (Bobby). Nothing was too much trouble. The menu was table d'hote with hot and cold buffet breakfast and set lunch or dinner. To get the standard of food out of such a small galley for 32 guests was nothing short of miraculous. Our cabin on the lower deck was spacious and amply serviced by Tanya. All in all a fabulous week which I would highly recommend.
