Sceptre offers a good vacation at an affordable price. This is my third vacation with Sceptre Tours and on the whole we have been very pleased. I am very familiar with Europe (grew up over there as a child) so I generally just use the company for booking my airline/ship transportation along with hotel and car rental reservations. I plan and mange my own itinerary once we reach our vacation spot. Sceptre has always provided me with courteous booking service, affordable prices and hotel accomodations that have been most acceptable.

Overall Experience In my opinion this was not a full service travel agency. They booked the air, car & hotel. When the holiday was approaching we had a few snags and called a few times for questions and they were completely unhelpful. Out of the 4 hotels we stayed one we suggested and asked for them to book, this one was the best hotel. The other 3 they suggested and of those only 1 was great, the other 2 were definitely not top of the line which we requested. I would not use this agency for future travel. I would do better booking on my own

Great trip - Some feedback Great trip - Most everything was perfect except getting home...Our connecting flight home was scheduled with just an hour and a half lead time of our flight home... The flight ended up being an hour late, and the gate to our flight home was closed 30 minutes prior to departure...Would recommended a longer layover/ lead time otherwise I would have given a 5 star rating.

Rental car company held us up an hour Rental car company held us up an hour, then brought us to the wrong terminal, we missed our flight and had to buy a new flight out of pocket and then rental car company lied about when they dropped us off.

Easy to work with My wife and I loved our Sceptre vacation to Ireland. Booking through Sceptre was easy, and the couple of times we called, Sceptre provided prompt and efficient help. The rental car, the hotel, and the bed and breakfasts we booked via Sceptre were outstanding. The one hitch we encountered was with JetBlue, the US domestic partner of Aer Lingus. Our JetBlue flight out of O'Hare was delayed to the point where we were going to miss our Aer Lingus flight at JFK and lose a couple days of our vacation. JetBlue could not rebook us on another carrier; we had to get our own tickets to JFK from American. We filed a claim with JetBlue and Aer Lingus for the value of our unused JetBlue flight, which is in the process of being settled. This is all not directly Sceptre's fault, but, they could have booked us with carriers who were more likely to rebook on another carrier in the event of a delay.
