Tangney Tours Traveller Reviews

It was a pilgrimage to Lourdes. Plans were disrupted by a French air traffic controller strike, but the tour operator responded extremely well

Everything was very efficient from the first call to ask about the journey to the very end when I ordered for a return journey In particular I would like to comment on the excellence of the agent in Lourdes, As well as the telephone contacts with your central office when flights had to be changed

It was wonderful. The passion Play in Oberammergau was something I had longed to see and was not disappointed. Hotel Aura in Saulgrab was excellent, clean, beautifully fitted rooms and the whole place catered for the disabled so made life much easier for some in our party. Food was excellent and traditionally German. the Hotel in Desenzano, the Europa was also good, more traditional in style, facing the lakeside. Some of out number were coeliac and it seemed to be a struggle for the staff to meet their needs at meal times although they provided a basket of gluten free for breakfast. Waiting staff were lovely but seemed confused by who was vegetarian and who was coeliac and what that meant in terms of what they could eat. Otherwise can't fault the facilities or location. The second day our boat trip to Isola del Garda had to be cancelled due to weather being too poor to sail. I was sorry as I particularly wanted to visit the garden there. However Sinead got us to Sirmione by coach and organised a short boat trip back to the hotel so all was not lost. We were a big group to manage and we had 3 people with mobility problems as well as numerous other small glitches to deal with, Frances and Sinead were great and very friendly and easy with us all. If I have a criticism it is that I would have liked to have had one more day in Oberammergau. The play and eating out twice took a whole day. There's a fantastic museum relating to the play and village, there are 2 famous churches and all those beautifully painted houses to look at - never mind all the shopping opportunities. There's also a woodworking factory it would have been good to visit. I realise you have to make choices but several of us wished we'd had another day. The area is great for walking too and some people may have enjoyed a ramble or two also.

Tangney Tours. I got lots of documentation to prepare me for the trip, timings, flight documentation and a folder and badge on a lanyard so we could find eachother. Nothing was too much trouble for Frances in Germany and Sinead in Italy. Sinead's grasp of Italian and her fluency was great to behold. She mad big efforts to ensure we understood and didn't get lost.

we were well looked after and totally enjoyed our stay in lourdes

well organised, no stress

My first pilgrimage, well organised, lots to do and see ,you could be as busy you liked lots on offer Equally if you just wanted to take it easy you could do so .

Felt really looked after well organised, and regular text messages keeping you updated about everything

We had a wonderful time at Lourdes, your rep. visited every evening and asked if everything was alright and did we have any thing we wished to know about or did we need any help from him.

Tangent tours organised everything very well, everything went like “clockwork”. Thank you for their help and assistance throughout our pilgrimage.

The hotel food was poor and often ran out. The hotel lifts were inadequate. The tables in the dinning room were too close together to allow easy access for wheelchairs

OK

1st time in Lourdes will go next year but have a different hotel!

Tangney tours were brilliant, attentive and always cheerful and helpful due to them will travel with them next year

On pilgrimage to Lourdes, a wonderful experience and very fruitful

The only problem I had was my name. I am Phoebe Alice, but always known by my second name, and told them when I booked. However when my name tag arrived, I was down as Phoebe so I altered it to Alice and this caused some confusion at times. Otherwise every thing went well and the Tour Guide was very pleasant and helpful

It was amazing. The accommodation was as described, and very good. The programme of events ranime clockwork, and the travel arrangements were spot on.

They were very friendly and efficient

Very spiritual

Good
