Group Trip Messed Up from Start to Finish
I wonโt be using Pavlus again. We had a group of 10 people who wanted to travel together, but Pavlus ended up giving us three completely different flight itineraries. The whole point was to fly as a group. They only booked flights through major airports, even though I couldโve flown from a smaller airport 10 minutes from home, on the same airline, for the same price. They also routed us through Newarkโwhich anyone who travels knows is one of the worst airports to enter the U.S. through. We were never told weโd have to pay extra to select seatsโended up costing $160. Because of that, we were stuck in the last row on all five flights. Other agencies at least try to get decent seats for their customers. It also took them five days to respond when I tried to finalize our river cruise. By the time they got back to me, the rest of the group had the Silver alcohol packageโwe didnโt. To top it off, neither of the Pavlus reps could tell me our airline confirmation number or even confirm which website I should use to check inโUnited or Lufthansa. Not impressed at all.
Booking Mistakes and No Accountability
I booked a cruise for april 2025 through this agent based on 2024 prices, but they made several mistakes. The rate was calculated using the minimum fare rather than the price for the room I selected. On top of that, the rate was based on USD pricing, but my confirmation incorrectly stated it was in CAD. When the 2025 prices were released, the cost shot up by 70%! When I asked for an explanation, the only response I got was that the actual cost would be based on 2025 prices. The agent refused to investigate any further.
Our trip was wonderful on our trip to Ireland
Our trip was wonderful on our trip to Ireland. Our tour leader was extremely well-informed and we learnt a lot! My only complaint was the many activities within an order, and then there was almost no activity until the final event. It would have been nice to have seen things spread out slightly more. However, the rest of the experience was great!
We had booked for an Alaskan Tour through Pavlus just prior to COVID. The tour was canceled and moved it to next summer. We've been calling and emailing for a while now to reserve our flights and pay the final payment on our trip. We were recently told by the management that they would ensure sure we got our agent to follow up. It was about a week back. The last time we used this company for holiday and travel demands. Update: Company reached out after my review of one star to correct the problem. I've updated my review to two stars, and will keep updating as I go. I'm hopeful that they can transform this issue into something positive.
so awful
I haven't heard anything from the mail in the time stated, and I'm still waiting. On our next cruise we booked were given a poor room, with only half a window; if you choose to refer to it as on a river cruise, there are plenty of things to see as you travel, but there aren't any rooms with that kind of view. You're a sham! If you're taking a cruise on the sea, having nothing you can look at other than the wa isn't so awful.
