“Pleasant Scotland Tour ”

★★★★☆

written by on 30/08/2023

Me and my family went on Historic Scotland tour recently. Hotel , bus, driver and Tour guide were very good and cooperative. The itiniary was not very hectic. Third day's restaurant where we had our dinner, was clean, food was tasty. Suggestion - instead of going to Lake district, an overnight stay in Edinburgh was preferable. That way maximum points of Scotland could have been covered.

“Panoramic Europe ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by JuniorPurcell on 21/07/2023

Absolutely awful experience, they schedule everything late. Food was not nice. Toilet on the coach was blocked causing foul smell. The tour didn't cover much to sightsee or do activity wise. I wasted my money and don't recommend anyone to travel with star tours!

“Disappointed ”

★☆☆☆☆

Disappointed Title: Disappointing Experience on Star Tours' 10-Day Wonders of Europe Tour Rating: 1 out of 5 stars I recently embarked on Star Tours' 10-day Wonders of Europe tour, and I must say that my overall experience was extremely disappointing. As a frequent traveler, I had high expectations for this tour, but unfortunately, it fell far short of them. From poor customer service to uncomfortable conditions and limited food options, this trip left much to be desired. My journey with Star Tours began on a sour note, as I had previously taken a four-day tour the week before and had already expressed my concerns to both customer service and through a review. Despite reaching out to them, I received no response until day five of the tour, and even then, the response was vague and unhelpful. The lack of timely and appropriate customer service only added to my frustrations. One of the main issues I encountered was the misleading information regarding food options. Although the tour claimed to provide vegetarian meals, it was limited to Indian vegetarian cuisine, which was not suitable for my preferences. This lack of variety and consideration for different dietary needs and allergies was a major letdown. Additionally, the absence of labels and proper information about the food made it difficult to navigate and find suitable options. Another significant problem was the feeling of being singled out throughout the tour. As one of the few non-Indian and non-black individuals on the trip, my companion and I were consistently placed at the back of the bus and were always called last. This meant we were unable to disembark promptly, further inconveniencing us. It was evident that the tour did not cater well to diverse groups of travelers, as we were unable to participate in certain activities such as Hindi conversations or entertainment. The lack of operational charging ports in the coach was another inconvenience. This was particularly problematic during long drives, as we were unable to charge our devices or even use fans to combat the excessive heat inside the bus. The insufficient cooling system caused discomfort and headaches, making the overall journey unpleasant. Furthermore, the tour's arrangements for meals and stops were subpar. Being ill from day two onward, my companion and I were unable to eat for the remainder of the trip. The limited opportunities to purchase food were mostly at gas stations, which are not known for offering the best quality options. This lack of suitable food combined with the uncomfortable bus conditions made the tour extremely challenging and unpleasant. Hygiene was also a concern, as the packed bus often resulted in issues with body odor and uncomfortable seating. Moreover, the disregard shown by the tour staff was disheartening. The constant need to prove our inclusion in the group at restaurants and the refusal to serve me properly cooked food in one instance were highly unprofessional and unacceptable. Additionally, the rushed itinerary left little time for enjoying the locations or purchasing souvenirs. The tour felt more like a race to check off items from a checklist rather than an opportunity to immerse oneself in the wonders of Europe. Lastly, the dismissive response I received from customer service after the tour had ended further exemplified the lack of concern and disregard for the issues I faced throughout the trip. Their response implied that the tour was intended primarily for Indians and not for international or diverse cultures, contradicting their initial claims. In conclusion, my experience with Star Tours' 10-day Wonders of Europe tour was deeply unsatisfactory. The lack of response from customer service, misleading information regarding food options, uncomfortable conditions, and feeling ignored throughout the tour all contributed to a negative experience. I would not recommend this tour to anyone seeking an enjoyable and inclusive travel experience.

“Majestic Europe Trip”

★★★★☆

written by PriyaAnand73 on 05/06/2023

Package name : Majestic Europe . Coach trip 6.5.2023 to 19.5.2023 Hi , I am customer of star tour travels, UK. We , family of four traveled in Majestic Europe Package (13 nights 14 days) on 5. 6.2023 . We enjoyed the trip very much. Meeting people from different part of the world and developing a new friendship is an awesome experience. I would like to share some of my views or suggestions regarding the tour. Tour co ordinater: Special thanks to the co ordinater , multitalented and cool headed man. He kept on engaging us by singing, joking and sharing his life experiences . Pros First on the positive note , sharing some pros. The stay and food provided was good. They took immense effort to provide us the indian meals for dinner and lunch. Cons: As per itinerary we are supposed to be picked up by the coach which starts from London in the afternoon ( L , D). Due to some operational issues the ferry got delayed. Though the delays are not under control, we were not informed neither by the startours nor by the company Xplore travels, India through which we booked our trip. Not knowing the reason we were standing at the pickup points from 2 o clock onwards. Finally the coach arrived at 5.30 pm. If we were well informed about the delay we would have spent our time in exploring the city instead of simply wasting our time at the pick up point. As we were clueless and no communication from the co ordinater we missed our lunch and not compensated by the company though the delay was by them. Though we carried our luggages exactly prescribed as per the star tours norms ( infact 3 luggage are smaller than the prescribed size) the moment the driver saw the luggage his expression was not welcoming. Atlast boarded the bus and started our tour. *The coach is below average. No leg rooms and not advisable for 14 days long road travels. Have heard from fellow travellers that the same star tours provide good coach for the London coach trip . On day 2 of the tour, we realized the air-conditioning was not working and informed the same to the driver and Co ordinater. The driver replied rudly that it's not a car to cool down immediately . Next day after many passengers made the same complaint he checked and admitted the problem. After four days it got repaired . The coach had inbuilt WC. Though we all used the washrooms when we were at the break points and at the sight seeing points , we were not allowed to use WC in the coach not even in emergency situations. It was under lock for the last three days and denied for the use. Many women are above 50 years and faced the inhuman attitude.The company should review this issue, as it is not an pleasant experience. Views on additional trips provided by the company: The company provides additional trips by paying and enrolling on the spot. They are 1. Zurich city tour , 5 Erous Not worth opting it 2. Ice flyer at at Mount Titlis 17 erous Had a very good experirnce and enjoyed a lot 3 . Rome night tour, 20 erous Waste of money and time. We went for this after a tiring day and very much disappointed. Forget about the lights at buildings , no lights on the streets of the city. Suggestions Visiting the Fragonard perfume museum can be avoided as there is nothing to view except the marketing agenda. That time can be utilized for shopping.

“Wonderful Panoramic Europe Tour”

★★★★★

written by unFinch17 on 03/06/2023

Just sharing my mesmerizing Panoramic Europe trip (20 to 24 May 2023) experience. It was a really splendid time with tour leader (and a multi- faceted personality) "Dinshaw" as he showcased all the tour attractions and communicated all the nitty gritties. It was an amazing and cozy journey with the coach driver. My first coach trip with Star Tours was a memorable one with all the co-passengers (including Antakshari, Jokes and other fun activities). Thanks Star Tours.

“No respect for food preferences. No alter arrangements...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Driscoll220 on 02/06/2023

We have been with Sttr Tours before and had a very good experience so when we had visitors we were absolutely sure that this time we will book with Star Tours again for Scotland trip. We book the Scottish Highlands tour. Day 1 we were supposed to visit Glasgow Cathedral. Website says you may be able to visit from inside based on the time you reach. We followed the time schedule provided by the tour manager and did not encounter any issues/traffic on the way and yet we did not reach there on time. The schedule on their website is misleading as there was no way we could have made it. Day 2 - most of the passengers on the trip were strictly vegetarian and the Tour manager was aware of this, yet on Day 2 as a part of continental breakfast (included in the tour) bread was served which had eggs in it). Tour Manager did not alert passengers about it and nothing pro active steps were taken to make alternative arrangements for passengers. Even after suggesting to get bread from the supermarket, nothing was done and Tour Manager simply wasted time discussing with their office who were not able to make a decision even for this minor thing. We had kids and passengers with long term health condition go hungry without breakfast that day. Complained to the team that very day, was told someone would get in touch but no one called. We did call again but no apologies or nothing was done to address the issue for that day. You are made to feel that nothing matters to the team once you have paid. Star Tours has lost my trust and my business and I won't be referring anyone again to these guys. 0% care for the passengers. Not recommended.I do have invoice number and call log details to prove I was on this trip

“Antalya, Perge, Aspendos”

★★★★★

written by Mlall on 23/10/2022

Our hotel rep at the ramada in antayla was very truthful and honest with us about what tours we would like therefore we ended up NOT wasting money. He was so kind to reccomend local areas to see and eat which was so helpful. Our tour guides for the tours were so knowledgeable especially Berkey with Perge and aspendos & the VR tour. We really enjoyed the tours, the boat trip was beautiful and we were able to sit at the front. very good value for money. 20th/21st October 2022. Only downside would be that the buses were abit stretched on the seating but the tour guides worked really well to problem solve this quickly.

“Went Extra Mile”

★★★★★

written by YogeShah on 24/08/2022

We had first called Star Tours UK, without looking at the price, but just based on friend’s reviews. When we called, we talked about the different Europe Tours. He provided excellent customer service on that call. So, we then booked Treasures of Europe Tour online for 8/1/2022. We frequently had conversations, until the employee from Star Tours picked us up from the Heathrow airport. We were sitting right behind the driver, and as such noticed that he was very skilled driver. He knew how to maneuver in the traffic, without making a single “oofs”. The tour manager not only had the detailed knowledge about the tourist spots, but was very well versed with the different spots that came up as the driver was driving. Both were very friendly and caring to all of us. In just a day or two, everyone on the coach became like extended family. We were all joking and having fun as if we were on a family tour. In Italy, the group said that they wanted to eat Pizza & Pasta. So, he arranged twice for us to get that also, along with the Indian food! In Paris, he also arranged for us to go the Top Level of Eiffel Tower. On the last day, we all wanted a group picture with them. Many of us also said that we will take another tour, in which we hope to have them again!!

“I always had trust in Star Tours as I have seen them...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by TashPatel on 03/10/2021

I always had trust in Star Tours as I have seen them in operation since a long time & many people I know have used their services. But the Pandemic has made them a greed mongering monsters. I booked a 14 days tour of Europe for Summer of 2020. Considering the unprecedented times, the tour was cancelled and they gave us vouchers of a certain validity. Knowing their credibility, I was assured that my money was in safe hands. Now when I want to use my vouchers against a flight booking through them, their USA office denies its limited use saying that it can only be used for a tour booking. My circumstances have changed, I cannot plan a tour now and they are restricting the use of my own money vouchers. You have shaken my trust in your brand. If I cannot use the real money vouchers to purchase your own product and service then you are literally cheating me. I will assure that Star Tours never come to my mind when I think of my future travel plans, nor I will recommend your services to my network.

“Buy my voucher ”

written by Marcel49 on 08/01/2021

my trip was cancelled in April 2020 due to corona, and star tours gave me voucher of 630 pound which is totally useless for me as I have no way in future to utilize it. they said that its transferable to anyone but I know,no one to buy from me.even I requested star tours to deduct my cancel charges and refund me remaining amount but they said that no refund of voucher.

“Misbehaving in travel Star Tour UK”

★☆☆☆☆

written by CodyWalsh168 on 14/03/2020

I've traveled with my family in "06 Days - Best of Europe without Disney". We stayed in Novotel Hotels & Resorts, 91120 Palaiseau France. My daughter and I was misbehaved by the Novotel hotel reception. I had called the tour manager to the incident location. I was calling Police but didn’t call as suggested by the tour manager. Later, I reached out to Star tours about the incident. I was surprised that the tour manager didn’t update Star tours about this incident. After so many phone call and emails, I was told that identified reception is not in service for Star tours. This doesn’t solve the problem. Star tours screwed our entire vacation, and nothing has done to the guest recovery. Star tour doesn’t care about your respect and dignity. Star tours charges traveler hefty money for Quality vacation. I don’t want anyone with face the same situation which I and my family faced, IT IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY TRAVEL COMPANY AND WORTH WHILE TO LOOK.. Stay away from this tour company.

“4 Days Memorable Trip to Scotland with Star Tours ”

★★★★★

written by reemashashirani on 20/04/2019

Mindblowing Experience... Would like to thank each one of you from bottom of my heart.Before recommending us the tour they kept in mind very clear that we will be travelling with 21 months old kid. And trust me my son too had great time. I am so overwhelmed with the service of Star Tours because every place mentioned in the itinerary provided by them they covered each and every place without any skip... and dinner at Indian Restaurants was the cherry on the cake.... Thank you so much for making my Scotland trip a memorable one...Will plan next tour very soon.

“Very Average Experience”

★★☆☆☆

written by Ella37 on 27/03/2019

They dont know Europe the way they claim to Last year me and my husband took a tour with them and the overall experience was average. Not the bang for the buck we paid to them. The hotels were very ok ok not the greatness expected. TM services were also luke warm. Food was fine but nothing what they have been boasting about all over social media. Travel comfort and cutting corners were becoming much expected everyday. Think twice before traveling with these guys.

“Not good”

★★☆☆☆

written by Adityao91 on 25/03/2019

My experience with Star Tours UK was very bad last year. First the phone sales didn't know anything and still i went to the website and booked a tour with them, mainly because of the name in the market. The tour was equally bad with the TM being not concerned about providing proper explanation of sights and all. The coaches were not comfortable and was a harrowing ride. The hotels were of very bad choice. Food options were bad as well. DO NOT TRAVEL WITH STAR TOURS.. Everything is cut short.

“Bad Execution of tour”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Castillo420 on 24/03/2019

We took the europe tour by star last year 2018. I am deeply disappointed by the level of service provided by them. Long distances of travel between destinations and hotels. No care provided to seniors on the group or children. Food quality not up to standards as claimed. What sort of company is this running tours in Europe. I am sorry to say it was the biggest mistake of my life to go with them.

Great trip with a good driver, clean coach, and knowledgeable guide. Dinner was provided at Bhojan group of restaurants which is not good. At least three people had issues with the food provided during the trip. Perhaps, Star tours shall consider providing better quality food in the future. Will definitely go with Star tours but if required I'll eat outside.

I am really concerned, I have booked with Star Tours 3 day Paris/Disneyland tour, I have specifically arranged this for my daughters birthday, I understand if they don't get the numbers, they will cancel at least 2 weeks in advance. My concern is 2 weeks is too short a notice to replan anything else, whilst I understand tours will be cancelled due to numbers, can they not give much of a longer notice ie 4-6 weeks?

Check with them what is min seats they expect to confirm tour and what is the current number of confirmed bookings they received as of now for your given tour. This will give fair Idea if tour is likely to go or get cancelled. Most of time Star tours gets confirmed tours because lot of Indians tourists. In worst case if tour is cancelled you can book some local tours based in Paris there are lot and good deals.
Report this content PrasadBhat Written on: 24/05/2018
Yes as suggested in an answer below, check with the Star Tours on the numbers they have currently and how many is the minimum required for tour to go ahead. it is their policy to have a 2 week window as having a higher window for cancellation would mean risk of tours not being conducted as people might go for last minute bookings or something like that. Most of their Summer tours do not get cancelled as they have lot of confirmed bookings coming in. As an alternative you can check with local operators in Paris or i think Eurostar also have some combo offers (don't know for sure) you can check that too.

We are planning to go on 9-day Discover Europe Tour without Disney starting August 13. However, as of now there doesn't seem to be any other booking for this tour. We are concerned about last minute cancellation due to lack of enough passengers. We have to book other travel arrangements now but without the confidence of tour taking place for sure, it can be a problem just a couple of weeks before the date. Any advise? Is it too early for most people to book August tour?

Earlier the better as you get some discounts. August tours generally run quite full. So guess you can be assured about the tour. Try to give a call to them and ask for details. They give all the information that we ask for.
Report this content PrasadBhat Written on: 02/05/2018
It shouldn't be a problem as there will be bookings given that it is peak summer period so I believe it will go ahead. We have booked our 5th Sep tour on 14th Jun by paying part of the amount and balance was paid before 8th Aug as it is mandated to pay 1 month in advance the full amount, by then you will be able to know on the bookings and if the tour is cancelled by Star Tours they have a policy to refund the entire amount without deductions. If in worst case they do not have enough members for this particular tour then they may give an option of accommodating you in another similar tour.
Report this content Peter_Shaw Written on: 03/05/2018
We have chatted with them and they have been transparent about current status (that they have no other bookings). I guess, looking at both your responses though, it seems less likely to have the tour cancelled. However, the biggest thing is to book our flights from US and get vacation from work based on this only to find out two weeks in advance if the tour gets cancelled. I don't see that they have other tours planned on those dates that would be of our interest given that we have already visited Italy very recently and would like to cover Switzerland, France, Germany, Netherlands, etc.

There should not be any problem. All the tour managers speak many languages, English, Hindi, Gujarati. The tour managers are very helpful and especially if language is the issue then going in these type of tours is the best way to get the most of the joy of holiday. All the best.

Hi, I don't think it should be a problem as long as they have adequate warm clothing. I'm sure it will be very beautiful in the winter. Just make sure to take very warm clothing - the bus rides should be fine as the busses have AC's however when visiting Mt Jungfrau etc. it was cold when we went in May so I'm sure will be very cold in December.

Hi , I don't think, it would much of problem, as they provide good hotels to stay, good food (Indian), and nice bus. It is advisable to carry warm clothes with you.

Yes. It would be a great experience for them. All the tours are well organised and as along as you have proper winter-wear to keep you warm there should not be any problem. Above all especially during Xmas time the whole of Europe is very beautiful with amazing decorations. I am sure this will be an experience of the lifetime for them. Hope you all have a great time.

Hi, We are planning to have a Europe trip with 2 kids during the month of July this year. What is the best way to travel Europe. This is our first time visit to European cities. Is it better to book the tours and flights separately or to book all with the same agency. We are thinking of booking with the Star Tours. Any advice and tips will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi I would recommend Star tours as their prices are comparable to tours from India. Plus put up their guests in good hotels and servce hot indian meals at all night stops. They cater for the NRI crowd, and therefore are discerning in their service.

Book it with Star Tours .... With kids no problem.. we just had a tour with them and they made it marvelously Unforgettable one. Their services are good and they give priority to their clients and cater for all their need which ever is feasible and reachable. And if you are lucky to get Mr. Rayomand as a Tour Manager then you will be in the best hands. Go Ahead ... Have a nice and safe and memorable journey..

Travelling on your own in any City can open up more places of interest. Although Paris is safe, just like any other major city there are basic precautions you should take if travelling on your own, i.e. avoiding narrow dark streets, Pigalle area on your own (which is the red light district). As long as you stay on the main roads and stick the common areas, you should be absolutely fine.

I made our Euro tour with STAR TOURS UK. It was 12 day tour European Delight. The programme was well arranged with knowledgeable and expert Coach Captain. The Tour guide and administrator was Mr. Hoshang. Both of them made our trip memorable. The tour was well packaged with thoughtful itinerary. The place of stay in each night was four star accommodation. The food was well planned with no repetition in any course during the long 12 days. Indian as well local specialities. Pure vegetarian including Jain food whoever preferred. We fully enjoyed and after our trip three of close friends and relatives have availed of the services and endorsed our impressions. You can safely choose the tour plan amongst frm from 4days to 14 days of convenient dates. We went during September when the climate was pleasant at all places including Italy. KUPPUSWAMY A.R.

Star tours has got some excellent tour guide and Mr Hoshang Vevaina is one of the best. With him there would be NO trouble at all with any aged elders or any tour itinerary. If you want a short trip, Panoramic europe would be good for 5 days but if Italy is a choice-Treasure of europe will be great for 9 days. May would be lovely and you are supposed to get one trip by euro rail to Paris. One big problem is you will not have any idea who your tour manager is till you board the bus and it can be disappointing if the tour manager is not good.

End of May to mid of september... is a nice weather to go on in europe... especially with elders... There are special tours arranged by Star tours for elderly group... that would help as well... Season depends on which part of Europe you are planning to travel.. If middle to southern european countries then end of May to end of September is favorable (summer).... whole europe: end of June to Mid of sept is favorable... But beware this will be the peak season as well..

No. It wont be a great experience primarily because days will be short and if travelling is too much, you will have to see everything in the dark'night photography can be fun though--carry a tripod''. Switzerland can become too frosty. You will be frozen on the top tier of eiffel tower. I think--max end of october -early november--if you want to enjoy the cold weather.

If you are coming from US, then you may skip Disneyland as US version is much better than Paris. Coach is not equipped with wi-fi. Most of the hotels will provide wi-fi, but if one of them do not provide then be prepared for the same. Calling to US is very cheap if you buy local SIM card like Lyca or Lebara (Around 5 cents per minute). This is available everywhere so no need to get panic and buy from Airport.

Hi my name is Roshni Ray. Actually me and my husband are planning a trip (Glamours of Europe) with STAR TOURS in JULY and and wanted to get some feedback. Just had a couple of basic questions. 1) Do they give enough time at each location to go around and see the place or is it just passing through? 2) For food are there vegetarian options in the menu? 3) Does the tour manager give us free time to explore the place on our own or do we have to be with the group all the time? 4)If we want to try the local cuisine can we leave the group and go for lunch or dinner on our own or do we have to be with the group all the time?  I apologize in advance some questions are really silly but since I have never been with a conducted tour before that's why asking this. I would really appreciate if you could give me some feedback about your experience with star tours and help me make a decision. Thanks a ton in advance ROSHNI

Because u are in a group and you have lot of things to cover, it will be fast paced, but you will have plenty of time in important places. For vegetarians star tours is best, you get fresh cooked food all the time, but food will be monotonous at times.You will get 30- 40 mins at places as free time but you to stick to time. You need to eat with your group for lunch, but dinner you can eat with your group or you can go to other places if your hotel is nearby some locality, because most of the time it will be far off from the city, because u go to hotel for sleeping after full day of hectic schedule. Group tours are basically for those with families and if one wants to see a lot of thing in short time,because on your own you cannot cover so many countries in such short time. Just identify the best places of your liking and come back again later to spend time there in leisure.

I went for the coach package "Treasures of Europe" in Oct 2012. To answer your question. 1. It depends on the specific location which are just passing and most of other location, you will get time to have a good look around. 2. In my trip, Jain food, vegetarian food and non-vegetarian food were served. Non-veg was sparingly served but over all experience of the Indian food served was very good. 3. Most of the time, you have be with the group but occasionally we were provided time to be on our own as well. Please take note that this is a fast paced tour package and time is of greater essence at the economical affordability. 4. I am not sure, i didn't do it. I think they will allow you try but the local cuisine will be at your own expense provided it is near by the place where the bus stops for lunch or dinner and if you could come back in reasonable amount of time, please have a word with the tour manager who can tell you absolutely about it.. if you have more query, write to me and I will be glad to answer your question. My tour manager  kept the tour alive in a very interactive manner and gave good tips of what to buy & what not as well at every other locations.. Have fun & enjoy tour trip.. Regards

1) They give enough time. However, its upto individual interest. So do a thorough study of each place and find out what interest you. Accordingly, spend time. 2) Vegeterian and even Jain options available. 3) The tours time are so packed that you will not get time to explore anything by your own. If you want to explore by your own, then you need to reach to hotel by your own which may turn to pretty expensive. Star tours cover most attractions and in Europe you can't cover all attractions in one tour. 4) You can skip lunch / dinner. Believe me, the food provided is excellent. And you will regret if you go for local food. Ask your tour manager and he will guide you for the best. Star tour is like tick mark that you have been to a tourist attraction. If you really want to spend more time and have relaxed tour then I would suggest do 2 countries at a time by your own. But if you just want to see places, running short of time and having food problem, then Star tour is the best.

You can check the weather on Accuweather.com. you may find electric kettle and coffee maker in some hotels not in all. Acc. to European rules driver cannot drive for more than 8 hrs, and they are very strict with that, so maximum of 8 hrs drive per day. I think longest journey was from Italy back to Geneva, on the way to Paris. Keep.Keep some cash may be around 200 euros /head plus credit or debit card, cards accepted everywhere.everywhere.
