Bad organisation and became over booked

Lourdes was excellent but that had nothing to do with Tangey Tours. They completely overbooked and had to travel from Luton instead of Stansted. Then instead of arriving in Lourdes, they could only fly us to Bordeaux aand then had a 3 hour coach drive. Very bad for ou elderly travellers who had a job getting wheelchairs.

Rating for tour operator:

Poor, badly organised and overbooked so travel arrangements changed at the last minute. Had to travel to Bordeaux airport and that is a 3 hour transfer to Lourdes. Exhausting journey both ways.

Thank you for your feedback. We did not overbook the flights at all, demand was high and the pilgrimage instructed us source alternative flights to ensure that everyone could be accommodated.

Extremely disappointing

Firstly it’s started by being told suddenly that the airline was changed and we was force to take a Ryan air flight. We flew late and returned late which forced me to pay for a taxi home. Also this year for the first time I was charged £100 to bring back holy water which has never happened before. In general this years tour was not a fun experience and I’ve used tangey tours for 7 years to travel to Lourdes. I’m considering making my own arrangem...

Firstly it’s started by being told suddenly that the airline was changed and we was force to take a Ryan air flight. We flew late and returned late which forced me to pay for a taxi home. Also this year for the first time I was charged £100 to bring back holy water which has never happened before. In general this years tour was not a fun experience and I’ve used tangey tours for 7 years to travel to Lourdes. I’m considering making my own arrangements to travel next time.

Rating for tour operator:

I wasn’t happy with the communication at all. Even with the flight change it was at late notice and as a long term travel with this operater I would have hoped to stay on my usual flight.

Tangney Tours responded to this review on 26 Sep 2023:

We are sorry that you had to travel on alternate flights. This was to allow sick pilgrims to join the main charter flight. With regards to the excess charge, this was probably due to the weight allowances imposed by the airlines. Once again, we are sorry and this is beyond our control.

My holiday in Lourdes for a week was a wonderful time full of enjoyment, time of prayer in Lourdes, visiting the shrine of Lourdes, visiting the City of Lourdes, The Cachot the House where Bernadette Soubirous grew-up, meeting many people in Lourdes, meeting many pilgrims in Lourdes. As we travelled on Pilgrimage to Lourdes with Westminster Diocese, we met other pilgrims from Liverpool Diocese who were on their pilgrimage at the same time as us from Westminster Diocese. I stayed at the Accueil Marie St Fray and it was extraordinary to receive the care we received helping us to participate in all Westminster Diocese's activities in Lourdes. Thank you as well to Tangney Tours for organising our travel successfully and brilliantly and I am grateful to Tangney Tours

Tangney Tours as Tour Operator is Excellent and great. Great people working very hard for the people travelling on Pilgrimages to travel successfully and safely and to enjoy their travel and also their stays whether in the Hotels or at the Accueil Marie St Fray, organising as well transport from airport to the hotels and as well coaches for transport of pilgrims attending various pilgrimage's activities within the Shrine of Lourdes, outside the Shrine and even beyond the City of Lourdes, for example visiting the old Church of Saint Savin in the Pyrenees as Abbey of Saint Savin en Lavedan built in 12th century that was a Benedictine abbey in the commune of Saint-Savin, Hautes-Pyrenees, France. It was extraordinary to visit this historic Church and to attend mass there and to go to confession in this symbolic Church, extraordinary and very moving moment. Thanks to the Tour Operator Tangney Tours for doing a tremendous job for pilgrims in Lourdes visiting the Shrine and beyond and visiting the City of Lourdes. Tangney Tours, you are excellent and thank you very much indeed for all you do to support your pilgrims to have an enjoyable and successful pilgrimage in Lourdes.

Wonderful to be back on pilgrimage

Over all a well organised experience, although one or two hick-ups with the youth section and their travel.

Wonderful

We had a great holiday from start to finish the only problem was at Newcastle airport with local staff levels below the required numbers to disembark the people who required help and this was the only poor part of what was otherwise a fantastic holiday
