    Status:
    Answered
    My wife and I signed up for a trip to the Holy Land to be led by Fr. **** ***** and Deacon ***** *******. We signed up expressly to go with Fr. **** and Deacon ***** as we know both of these men. We recently discovered when we received our final payment invoice that another priest has been substituted for Fr. **** and Deacon *****. Holy Land Travel did not inform us of this change even though they knew earlier of the change. Since we only wanted to go with Fr. **** & Deacon ***** we requested a full refund on the basis that a material change had been made in the contract between us and Holy Land Travel. Going with some other priest was not what we signed up for. They said they would only refund in accordance with their refund policy. I could pursue, and still may, legal action for breach of contract, however, resolving the issue through the BBB is a first step to avoid filing a breach of contract suit.

    THEY DON'T DESERVE A STAR, BUT I'M FORCED TO PUT 1. IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE DEALING WITH THEM. THEY GAVE US CLEAR OPTIONS FOR OUR HOLY LAND TRIP STARTING 2/18/24, DUE TO THE CRISIS GOING ON IN HOLY LAND: 1) TO GO ON A DIVERTED TOUR TO *****, 2) CANCEL WITH $500 CANCELATION FEE! AND 3) TO STAY ON ORIGINAL PLANNED TOUR. THE $500 CANCELLATION FEE WAS ABSURD FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NOT OUR FAULT. SO, I STAYED WITH ORIGINAL PLAN. STARTING 1/1/24, NOT A WHIMPER FROM THIS TRAVEL CENTER, THAT WAS THE START OF MY SAGA. WEEKLY WOULD I EMAIL THEM TO FOLLOW UP ONE ANY UPDATES, AS EXPECTED -- NO RESPONSE. I CALLED 1ST WEEK OF ***, THEN THIS AGENT *****, SAID THAT MY TOUR WILL BE RESCHEDULED! WHAT, THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION!!! I INSISTED, YOU ARE CANCELING THIS TOUR, SO I EXPECT A FULL REFUND ASAP. AND THEN SHE FOLLOWED UP WITH, I'LL TALK TO MY MANAGER, WE WILL CALL YOU BACK WITHIN A DAY. NEVER EVER CALLED BACK, I WOULD CALL AGAIN WEEKLY, SOMETIMES IT'S THE VOICEMAIL OR HER, BUT SAME THING, WE WILL CALL YOU PROMISE. NOPE, NEVER EVER. TODAY 1/31/24, I ASKED FOR THE ***** ************, HE CAN'T BE REACHED CAUSE HE'S ALWAYS TRAVELLING. FUN! THEN ***** AGAIN, SAID THEY WILL RESPOND THIS TIME TO MY EMAILS IN 15 MINUTES, RIGHT? WRONG. THAT'S MY MONEY THAT THEY'RE NOT RETURNING, AND HERE I AM STRAGGLING TO PAY MY CREDIT CARDS, AND THEY CALL THEMSELVES ********** WHAT A DISGRACE TO CHRISTIANITY. PLEASE BE WARNED!
