I made a rookie mistake and clicked on the wrong address to send my gift. Thanks to the unintended recipient and Experience Days staff it was reported and sorted fast. Cannot thank both parties more.... See more

The first segway event

The first segway event, arrived to be told it was cancelled. Then booked an alternative day and got an email also saying it was cancelled. This was a present so I requested money back but just keep getting promotion ads from them.They can check under booking reference EX 102939-240104. I emailed segway events who told me I should contact Experience Days ltd where the purchase was made for a refund. Further to this I have tried to send a message via the contact form and each time it shows there was an error. Also not able to telephone them.

Jenny, we have no record of receiving emails from you, so perhaps this review is meant for the Segway company and not us?

Complete rip off!!!!!!

Complete rip off!!!!!!! They take your money and don't provide the service. Can't contact them by phone, only by email. They do not respond. My wife bought me a plane ride for my birthday. When I went to book they kept saying check back at another time. Not the mention, they are not in the USA, so try and recover your money.

CON COMPANY

CON COMPANY - CON ARTISTS - CRIMINALS - AVOID !!!!
We purchased a flying lesson voucher, activated and booked the event within the required time frame.
The event company then cancelled our flying lesson due to bad weather, then said they don't have any free slots available before they close their company down! Now they are/have closed their company down and aren't responding to us.
We paid £150 for the flying voucher with these con artists just for the flying school to close down and keep our money.
When a rep said he couldn't help me I complained and spoke to Garry Foulkes the Sales & Operations Manager, who said we didn't leave enough time to book the event, which is nonsense as we booked it before the voucher expired. The flight school/supplier cancelled on us and then closed their company and kept our money! I have emails and texts from the flying school for proof.
I will be reporting Experience Days to trading standards and leaving this review anywhere else I can find to warn others so they don't get robbed too!
They do not care 1 little bit!!
SCAMMERS - CON ARTISTS - CRIMINALS

According to the information provided, the voucher expired on 15th February. As per the terms outlined on the voucher and on the site, the experience needs to be booked and taken by that date. The voucher was redeemed just before 3pm on the 14th Feb leaving roughly 2 working hours to achieve this. Garry is therefore correct in his assessment.

An excellent service

An excellent service. I accidently wrote the wrong email for the voucher and after a couple emails back and forth, it was re-sent without issue. I will be using again.

Very helpful and prompt customer service

Very helpful and prompt customer service, though this was necessarily by email. Would welcome the phones back, though.
We had transferred and extended vouchers, but these were converted to credits so easy to spend again.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

do not use this company!!! experiences either do not exist, are taken down when you try to book or are made near on impossible to book. we tried booking 3 different days, the last trip was booked via Experience days using on line booking, with a booking reference being sent to me by experience days, when i enquired about the meet time for the day , guess what? there was no trip!!!. we had a £120 voucher bought as an a anniversary present from our friends. we extended the voucher twice at £20 a time but still could not book a day out. When you complain please be aware you will eventually receive a e mail from Mr Gary Foulkes stating this matter is now closed there will be no further correspondence. you will see from other reviews the outcome is always the same. I do wish we had seen the reviews before the voucher was purchased. I have contacted the citizens advice who will log Experience days with trading standards, please call citizens advice if you had a similar experience it is the only way to stop them. we have also contacted Action Fraud, please also call them we need to stop these people.

OUR REPLY TO EXPERIENCE DAYS.
Absolute rubbish, the voucher was originally for approximately 15 months. It was then extended for a further 12 months. (Which we had to pay £20 for, in order to extend it). Due to the fact that the experience (Peaky Blinders tour) was originally for selected days/dates that were also seasonal and not available for the whole period of the voucher.
We did try to book the Peaky Blinders tour on several occasions. Unfortunately for us, the season had passed before we had a date in mind to redeem the original voucher in the time frame, hence why we paid to extend the said voucher.

Since then, we have tried to book several different experience days to no avail. (within the 12 month extension period)
●SPITFIRE COMBAT EXPERIENCE in Manchester.
●Liverpool tour involving tapas & drinks in local establishments.
●Liverpool half day Brewery & Pizza bus tour. (To name but a few)

You make no mention of the Liverpool tour we tried to book, that was very conveniently taken down/removed from your website, the very next day, after us making further enquiries.
Experience days checked availability for another tour. (Liverpool half day Brewery & Pizza Bus Tour), which was confirmed by E.D. with availability on our chosen day. So we booked!! so we thought! (WE HAVE THE CONFIRMATION PAPERWORK) When we enquired about meeting times, we were then told that we needed to give 72-hour notice!!! In order to book this particular tour, & was then informed that we would be refunded the additional monies we had paid.(This tour was booked on a Tuesday evening, for Friday evening of the same week, which we had been informed that there was availability!!!)
When trying to book one of these, So Called!! Experience Days, there is no statement of the likes.
(Oh!! It has certainly been an experience dealing with this company or should I say an ordeal)
It is not clear at when trying to book anything, the company seems to make it so difficult putting many obstacles in the way, that it is near impossible to book anything.

Like I stated previously, there are lots of reviews on Trust pilot stating others having had similar and or worse encounters, with some people having lost alot more monies than we have.
THIS COMPANY IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS!! & IN MY VIEW A FRAUD, SCAMMING HONEST PEOPLE out of their hard earned money.

I have informed Action Fraud &
Trading Standards, and if enough people do the same we can stop you!!

This is simply not true. You were given the contact details of the provider of the experience in October 2023. Rather than clarify the schedule with them, you waited until 3 months later, and with only 10 days left to redeem your voucher against something that wasn't available until May. We then refunded that for you and reactivated it. You then waited another week into the 10 day window before trying to book something else. The voucher was valid for 2 and a half years and in no time during that period did you actually attempt to book the original experience given. We cannot be held accountable if you wait until the last minute then try and exchange for something not available.

No experience due to unforeseen circumstances

We were unable to use our voucher for a trip to London zoo as experience days said unforeseen circumstances meant they could not book it. Whilst unforeseen may imply it is not their fault it was not ours either. We were told we could change it for something else or pay £20 to extend the voucher as we only had a week to use it. We felt a gesture of goodwill here would have been to extend the voucher due to the unforeseen circumstances their end. However, the response was that we should not have waited until one week before the expiry of the voucher. The london zoo experience was showing as available on their website for the date we wanted to book so others may have paid for it and been unable to use it as well. We could not find a suitable alternative and did not want to pay to extend the voucher so we have been unable to redeem the experience we wanted.

Avoid

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. We got a voucher for our wedding during COVID and ofc we couldn’t use. They eventually allowed us to extend voucher but only after threatening them, don't bother waste your time been nice it got me no where with them. Once we have managed to book experiences 3 of the 3 experiences we booked on the website were falsely advertised interms of duration, available dates and times etc. you receive no apology and make you jump through hoops just to cancel. Customer service lacks empathy and understanding.

£20 admin fee for extending validity of voucher

I was disappointed to be charged £20 admin fee for extending the validity of the voucher, after selecting a date within the original 12 month period which could not be accommodated. I have yet to participate in the York Food Tasting Experience, so can't comment on this.

Difficult to use a a gift

Difficult to use - the onus is on the customer to find a date, we had an unresponsive vendor and I don’t have time to chase up. Difficult to speak to a person. Really not a fun gift experience for the customer. Don’t give a voucher as a back up present. Plan a day doing something you actually enjoy print off a promise to day.

Scammers - don't buy from them!!!

DEAR OWEN AND experience day. NOTHING YOU SAID IN THE REPLY IS CORRECT. SO MANY PEOPLE WITH 1 * HAD WRITTEN BEFORE US about this matter already. DON'T BELIEVE THIS COMPANY.

In your reply you said you will contact us soon. But you never did..our £16 extra is still with you and £50 voucher.

1. We got no email from you after we have written few times and still saying you haven't done anything wrong. We tried to book number of times in your website London eye, madam Tussauds, boat trips, shard and other stuff and they are always not available since last 1 year. (We have photographs to prove) we finally made booking for march understanding that it's only option to take family to Liverpool cruise and booked trains asking with it to go as nothing nearby was available as we wanted. It was just a show on your website but m to attract customers and nothing was available at to book. We clearly remember trying in last summer for attractions and it kept on saying it's but available at this time.

2. Our voucher clearly said that it's expires (we have photographs) on 25/11/2023 but since 24/11/2023 we couldn't do anything and system said not available to extend (you kept on telling us to extend). Why it was not working 25th?

3. Owen kept on ignoring our email even after we said we want to talk to management/team leader. Why?

4. U said you are not taking money from us without our permission. But someone £50 is in your pocket as your company wants profit through without hardwork. Plus our Extra £16 on Liverpool booking is also with your company which we have escalated to the bank

5. We have contacted consumer protection regulators and they have opened up a case but adviced to contact you one more time to solve this issue. We have written 3 times but no response from your team. (We have proof and photos. (Where is the after care? for customers?)

6. How can you take others money and live happy? This was the award given to me for best employee and said to me that I could go to shard in London to celebrate it. But you are just eating my money. This is not fair at all.. No email response and no phone call. How would you listen to your customers?

We CLEARLY CONTACTED YOU AND YOU ADVISED US ABOUT WHAT TO DO AND WE TRIED THAT WAY. if things had expired then we wouldn't have made a complaint but we genuinely made an effort on 23rd to book and 24th contacted you and tried to extend 24th and 25th. We did clearly ask you what's the best solution as none of the attraction was available to us as we wanted but you kept on forcing us to do what you wanted so that you can take others money. (All photos and proofs are available for your varification).

LOL - YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT TO WRITE REVIEWS BACK TO CUSTOMERS BUT NO TIME TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS (this clearly shows that you are behind others money to feed your own family without hardwork)

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. Absolutely disgusting customer service. I bought a £400 experiance for my sister for a present. Due to us as a family going through one of the worst years of our life and a lot of hospital stays i wrote to the company asking to extend the experiance and willing to provide all hospital evidence to prove how severe the year has been Gary Foulks email response was tuff in short form. As a operations manager he should be looking at customer service which clearly has no skills on. This company is disgusting and I WILL NEVER USE THEM and will ensure people know that all they care about is money
