Exoticca travel help

Hi, I've been looking at Exoticca holidays I just wondered if anyone on here has used them before and has any reviews of them and there package holidays please?

Comments

  • Be VERY careful trying to book with this Travel company, Exoticca.You will see many reports on Facebook about their extremely poor customer service, in particular:
    - They will offer holiday packages on the phone, and take your money based on their verbally-stated terms, then...
    - claim that some terms have changed and then offer you inferior parts of the package but still charge you the original amount.
    - This has happened to a number of customers, including me; in my case, the flights offered and guaranteed a long time ahead of holiday dates were not confirmed as per the contract i.e. 60 days prior, then summarily cancelled 2 weeks before departure and inferior ones offered. 
    - E-mails sent to their Customer Services dept. go un-acknowledged and un-answered; even though they confirm reseipt on the phone.
    - Be prepared to wait at least 40 minutes on the phone before anyone picks up.
    - Other customers have reported that Exoticca refused to refund payment for holidays when THEY cancelled the holiday !!
    Caveat Emptor !!
