The most annoying thing is, I left a comment on their Facebook page about his upset and disgusted we were and they deleted it. No response, no message from them, nothing, they just simply deleted the comment and moved on. NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Do NOT trust them.
As a special treat we paid and extra £800.00 to do an evening Northern lights/Reindeer Sleigh ride across the lake.
We were split into 2 parties of 5 as there were only 3 sleighs and were told they could only carry 2 people each. When our 1st party arrived they were joined by anther party of 3, 8 people in total. 10 minutes into the sleigh ride the poor Reindeers we’re slipping and stumbling across the snow until eventually the “driver” asked the passengers to get out as the reindeer were struggling in the heavy snow, all 8 then refused to allow the reindeer to struggle pulling 3 extra people than they should be pulling and walked back to the starting point.
When they got back we asked what had happened and the “driver” said it was because the new snow was too soft for the reindeer to be able to pull the sleighs. Our second party spoke to the holiday rep. and she said if we didn’t wish to go on the trip Transun would give us a full refund on our return, it was very disappointing but we put the animals welfare before the our enjoyment.
4 months later we have eventually received a refund after several emails and our travel agent getting involved, basically Transun said it was our fault we cancelled the trip and no fault of theirs.
Would I really pay £800.00 9 months prior and then disappoint 4 grandchildren and the rest of the party, because this is what Transun are saying. Although we have now had a refund, at no point have Transun made an apology.
On another note, although our sleigh ride was cancelled, as it happened there was no sightings of the Northern lights that night, but the next evening on our walk back from the restaurant the Lights started to appear and we had a wonderful 2 hour show, so don’t think booking a “Northern light” tour you are going to see them, you are more likely to see them anyway as we did.
