One week trip to London Don't be fooled by the good price! The Scepture representative "Carmen" misspelled my name which thru everything into chaos! Our flights we were told to book independently to assure seating together took our money (Virgin) $100.00 and failed to assign our seats because of the misspelled name even though I contacted Scepture to fix the problem. Our hotel was under management change and our week was on the floor they were gutting with no heat. They moved us unexpectedly on the 5th day when we were on a tour. They gave us 10 minutes to pack our bags! Our tour trips with Evan Evans is in a bus with NO BATHROOMS and 2 of the trips were in excess of 12 hrs. People were peeing in their seats because the driver and tour guide shamed you into having to stop! We felt herded like cattle and treated the same! The drivers of the couches and the tour guides complained non stop about the traffic and their employers, Evan Evans, for those who understood English. They evan counted how their risk of demeaning their employer was. E.g.: 56 percent don't speak English or are in the back so it's okay to talk smack about Evan Evans. And to think we paid 4 years saving for this! This is probably just a format to ere your grievances but I happen to know some very important people and they will spread the word for us. Try the company Pret A Manger. Our VERY good friends. I hope you resolve your problems!!

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.

Be very careful with bookings I was disappointed with Sceptre Travel. I asked to be booked in Ashford Castle and only through my own due diligence did I realize that the Sceptre agent booked me in the Lodge at Ashord Castle, which is very different than the Castle itself. More care should be taken by agents when booking.

we were promised a dinner, an irish whiskey drink, and two site tours as part of our package, but then, on-site, we had to pay for those items out-of-pocket. We have submitted our expenses to Sceptre The driver proved to be a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour-guide. We saw a lot of Southern Ireland. Our hotels were very comfortable. We did things on-time. Excellent trip except for some of the inconsistencies in what was promised and what was covered (out-of-pocket 209 Euros, but I submitted those receipts to Sceptre for reimbursement; have not heard whether or not the company will honor their initial promises).

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
