a reputable travel company for older clientele

the company is owned by a venture capital group silverfleet capital and its been on the sale market for a while now. ( google search). we have had several holidays with them and they are reputable. the travellers are in the older age group. they offer a reasonable service and range of products. there may be a steady pressure to cut back costs as is the case with all venture capitalists. if anything goes wrong you are unlikely to be offered anything back. if they have a holiday that suits you there is no reason not to book with them, it wont be 5 star but perfectly adequate

Wish I hadn’t booked with them

Scenic group is Australian and also owns emerald cruises and evergreen tours operations They are very quick to take your money upfront and offer a 10% discount as incentive. If you want a trip they want payment up front for that too. They push hard to support their cash flow. Some advisors can be very nice and some abrupt bordering on rude. We later noted we were booked on an inconvenient flight yet much better options existed (without going to a budget airline), the flights were less than £50 in fact but to change we were to be charged with a transfer admin fee which was double the flight cost. The flight timings were not discussed with us before just booking them Later on the cruise was cancelled and we were not offered a refund as an option but we dug our heels in and did get a refund in full after a few weeks. Once the initial booking had been made it was not a comfortable experience , in fact it was stressful and I would not book with them again.
