York to Edinburgh - what a great day !!

What a fantastic and first rate experience. Nothing too much trouble for the team on the train journey. Food was excellent and the service second to none. We will certainly partake in this type of adventure again. Many thanks for making the day very special.

I received a Golden Moments day at the Races

I received a Golden Moments day at the races gift certificate for my Birthday. The event I wanted to use exceeded the amount. Natalia advised me how to obtain my day by adding to the gift.
I got my preferred choice and it was handy very well by Natalia.
Thanks

Good end result

Natalia did a good job organising a refund for an experience that realistically wasn't going to happen due to COVID restrictions. Thanks to you Natalia for making it painless and straightforward.

Golden Moments Brilliant

It’s been a difficult year for all companies involved. I would like to say thank you to Golden Moments for re arranging our train trip twice. It was an amazing day the staff on the train were excellent as well. Thanks everyone. Great day out to Bath.

Simple, easy and personal :)

Dealt with Natalia to book a trip with my partner for his birthday. I was surprised to receive such great personalized service though their messaging facility and the process was really easy. Thank you Natalia!

No 90th birthday gift in time for birthday 🙁

No 90th birthday gift has arrived in time for 90th birthday from the Ireland branch of this company. unable to get through on their telephone number, no idea if the number is the company’s as straight to automated voicemail. No reply via 2 emails. Frustrating and not cheap at £110. I sent several messages to this company stating I needed the gift by today and offered to pay any extra postage. No idea of tracking number or courier. Very disappointing.

Not So Golden

Received a horse racing gift voucher in Christmas 2019 which was due to expire March this year. Due to the pandemic they were nice enough to extend the voucher by 4 months however the experience since has been nothing short of shambolic. Now that we are able to attend events again I tried activating my voucher and was told on their website I'd receive another email within 3 days.... it's been a week and still nothing. Have tried emailing twice and no reply. Have tried calling and no one answers the phone.

Update:
A day after this review I was contacted by GM to arrange tickets for a fixture of my choice. I requested a pair of tickets that were equal to more than my voucher and offered to pay the excess; this was due to their not being many high quality meetings on before 20th July that were logistically possible and most racecourses only have cheap £15-20 general admission tickets on offer at the moment. I was told that everything would be done to source these but lord behold the person dealing with me disappeared off the face of the earth, even after I emailed requesting an update. 6 days later a different employee messaged asking for me to follow a link and pay the extra money so that the tickets could be arranged; I did so within 15 minutes and informed them so. Radio silence yet again until a 5 days later (today) I decided to phone up after numerous unanswered emails... this is where it gets even better. The gentleman on the phone checked with the person dealing with my booking who informed him that the tickets had been ordered and they were waiting on them being posted. Nearly three hours later, after I have booked a hotel near the venue, I receive and email claiming that they are unable to source the tickets and ask I'm able to attend on one of the two days previous.

This is hands-down the worst customer experience I have ever had and have had to request a refund for the extra I paid and have informed the person who gave me the voucher of what's happened so that they can request a full refund.

Do not deal with this company.

Ordered a gift and was supposed to receive an digital e-certificate within 3 days. Haven't received anything. Tried to telephone the number provided and no one answers the phone and have had no response to three emails I have sent.

Dear Bev,

Thank you for your comments, and I apologise that there was a delay in getting your certificate across to you, I understand that you received it yesterday. Recently we've experienced an overwhelming influx of bookings, which has meant delays unfortunately and we are very sorry about that. We have now increased our staffing resource and are in a much better place to deal with th current demands now.

Again, please accept our apologies, if there is anything we can do, please contact me.

I bought a gift for my boy friend for Christmas but the contact address is not longer available to book the flight. I can’t reach the customer service via email or live Chat. Really poor service. Still not sure if it’s a fake shop!?

Thanks Darren a lot for your quick help.
Very much appreciated!
I‘m awaiting the refund.
Have a good weekend

Daniela, I am sorry that you have had this experience with Golden Moments in Germany - I have taken it upon myself to look into this with them, in respect to their lack of communication with you.

I personally contacted the supplier in Germany, who had to change their business format recently, this I was able to communicate with you and we have now processed you a full refund. This issue with the supplier was unforeseen, the issue with Golden Moments in Germany, will be investigated. I hope your experience with our team in the UK was subsequently responsive.

Do not buy this product....

I ordered a Xmas present of personalised colouring pencils for my wife. They arrived on time but were if such poor quality that they are unusable. They break when used and if you try to sharpen them they break. Do not buy this product.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your feedback, we very much appreciate all feedback.

I'm very sorry to hear that the product has not been satisfactory and I will investigate this with the supplier. As a gesture of good will, I would like to offer you a £10 gift voucher, which you can use against any product on the website.

I was a little surprised that we received just one star, as I feel although you are unhappy with the product, a one star review would also indicate that you must also be unhappy with the service, which we do pride ourselves on. If there is anything we can also do on the service side or anything we haven't done, please let me know so we can make any necessary changes.

Kind regards

Train Trip Booking

We have just been on a day trip on the Northern Belle with tickets purchased through Golden Moments UK.
Due to the covid 19 pandemic I had lots of questions before booking the trip and just before we went. Ralph was extremely helpful and patient making booking the trip very easy.

I've received a gift voucher I couldn't use and it was expiring very soon.
I've contacted the customer service and Ralph has done a fantastic job to manage it. I've received a great customer support and I'm very grateful to Ralph who has found the best solution for me.
Thank you Ralph!

Microlight - 40th Birthday present

I was brought a gift voucher for my 40th birthday present by my friends. I booked a microlight flight only to realise that the dates clashed with some of my husbands plans. I made contact with Ralph from golden moments and he has since gone out of his way to fix this for me. I can’t give 5 stars yet as I haven’t been on my experience but I hope to be back in a few weeks to update it!

Hi Naomi,

I'm so sorry to hear of your experience, this definitely falls short of our usual service.

I am going to look into this personally for you, please could you email your voucher number to info@goldenmoments.com with the subject line 'It's Naomi' and I will pick this up myself.

I will be in touch tomorrow once I have sorted this for you.

Kind regards

Ralph
