Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your loyalty and are very pleased to hear that you have enjoyed travelling with us in the past. I am sorry to learn that arranging this trip by email did not feel as straightforward as it should have been, particularly given that you already knew exactly what you wanted. I also understand how frustrating slow response times, repeated follow-ups, and multiple back-and-forth emails can be, especially when you expected a simpler process. While we do have procedures to follow when confirming travel arrangements, we certainly aim to make the process as smooth as possible, particularly for returning travellers who know their preferred itinerary. I am sorry that this was not your experience on this occasion and that it resulted in what you described as “email fatigue.” Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We very much value your continued support and hope that, despite the booking experience, you will have a fantastic time on our Very Best of Peru tour.
Warmest regards,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your comments. First of all, we would like to apologise for the delay in you receiving your quote from us. This is not standard practice for Distant Journeys; however, on some occasions we are waiting for prices from hotels and airlines, which can delay the process. Once you received your quote, I’m sorry to hear that the price was significantly higher than the brochure price. Unfortunately, prices can and do fluctuate from day to day, which can affect the final cost. I’m also sorry to learn that the price further increased due to an administrative error. Please be assured that your comments will be passed on to our call centre team so they can review and address any issues for future bookings. We very much look forward to welcoming you on our Essential China tour, and we’re confident it will be well worth the wait.
Warmest regards,
