calls/ emails / social media messages all ignored

My experience as previous reviews: Booked and paid to Luxury escapes for travel on 21 April to Japan, contacted a week before by an email for cancellation of the tour and offered their sympathy ...no offer was made for postponing or refund as Travel Asia ( which I don’t know whom they are) been liquidated. To my knowledge the tour was operated by SNA and they still in operation.. total confusion and where is the duty of care by Luxury Escapes

Well there you go China starts the Covid-19 and now we all lose our money we have paid to travel to China through SNA tours. We had opted to take a refund less the cancellation fee well prior to them going into liquidation but it appears now that we like many others will be getting bugger all. We both are at retiring age and can ill afford to lose money like this - totally disgusted with the hole process. Why does my friend appear to have more money against her name than mine when we booked the same trips.

We have been advised the same although 2 others travelling with us have yet to be advised. We too were advised of postponing until next April which we took. Travel Insurance appears to not cover liquidation either so we have all lost money now. What options do we have with Luxury Escapes for some responsibility?

Our experience is exactly the same as Avril Summers. Our tour to Japan, offered through Luxury Escapes, but managed by SNA tours was first postponed till next year and now cancelled due to SNA Tours going into Liquidation. We feel extremely disappointed as at our age 75+ it is a loss of a significant amount of money and timing. Luxury Escapes is ATOL protected in the UK and Europe which insures that the purchaser can get a full refund if the tour company goes bust. Does this assurance not exist in Australia? We chose to book through Luxury Escapes as it is a reputable company, but it is very disappointing that in this case we have not been offered an alternative or refund.

Sorry to advise you all that have tours booked with SNA They just informed me their global Operations have been shut down until 31/5/2020 and they giving you a credit valid for 2 years. They have just now confirmed my request to schedule our Booking to Japan until 3rd April 2021

I bought a tour for china, we had to cancel it because of the corona virus. Many firms are returning all the money, but the sna tour said that it could only return half, and when the news about the virus was new, it made me decide quickly, otherwise I would do nothing. I still haven't received a refund. They told me to wait 3 weeks, it was 6 weeks, still I couldn't get my money.

Hello Everyone,
I have just received confirmation that SNA has agreed to postponed my Japan tour to next year. They are very supportive of the current situation.
For that I shall always be loyal to them for future tours.
And wonderful people working there.

Japan tour March 24 2020,
was very worried when email reply said contact back to us would be made up to 3 business days. Need't have stressed.
Today, one business day later, received phone and email giving 14 future dates to take Japan holiday. now much calmer, thank you SNA

We too were booked to go in April to China and have been advised we can still go but when we get back we will go into quarantine for two weeks. They have absolutely no idea what they are talking about!!! Please explain what the $350 covers as everything would have been canceled as soon as Australia stopped people going!!! I am going to bombard them with emails until I get a full refund.

Hi I booked tour to Japan for this April-10.
SNA phone line message saying they are closed during business hours also.
They are not replying my email also. I am not sure what to do.
SNA gone for ever. No response from them.
Can any one guide me.

Booked a trip for 4 people to China and was never updated on progress on flight or travel details. Attempted to confirm a travel date to arrange time off work and no one was able to confirm. When trying to cancel due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak, they advised it was $350 per person (total package cost $999) although the fine print and terms and conditions provided when booking only stated $150 per person, Staff have been rude, do not listen and talk over you. Have booked the trip through TVSN where both SNA tours and TVSN have continuously palmed my requests off to each other rather then any of the companies taking accountability or helping.

Booked China tour . Virus has spread. Ana txt call off my trip in March. They offer a credit or anther date . Given this disease spreads then there is anoth 250 lost on visa and insurance.
I asked for a full refund seeing they advised against travelling to China. Not me. For that its still going to cost me 350dollars.
It's not fare as far as I can see. Just be careful guys when booking with ana they won't budge on anything

We could have upgraded but didnt and were very happy with what we had booked
Our expectations were exceeded.
We did the Yangtze River cruise and loved every aspect of the tour
