“The London Grime and punishment walking tour was very interesting and gave real value for money. The tour guide really made it interesting with little bits of information you wouldn't find in any London guide books.”

“Had a wonderful Afternoon Tea thanks to the voucher bought for me through Virgin Experience. No need to book in advance at Pattiserie Valerie, Norwich. A lovely selection of sandwiches. Cheese and fruit scones. A variety of cakes to finish off. Refillable hot drinks. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.”

“Not like a traditional relaxing spa day, set in a busy, noisy gym so kinda hard to do any relaxing, there were sirens going off and drowning out the spa music”

“Awful experience. First I purchased a driving experience for over £100, when I tried to book at the closest track they only offered 2 dates throughout the whole year. I was told by virgin there are other tracks available, I said I would not drive all over the country for a few minutes on a race track. I had to pay £30 to extend the voucher thinking my local track would then offer more dates, I was wrong, £30 later I was still only offered the two available dates. So I swapped the experience for a £300 2 night hotel stay. I phoned the hotel, they had rooms available but said I had to phone the central reservation team. The central reservation team told me that although there were rooms available I could not have them as they already had a virgin experience customer staying. Erm...... Hello...... I didn't get these tickets for free you know!!!! £300 for 2 nights and I'm being treated like it's some kind of freebe. I could have probably booked 2 nights directly cheaper and stayed when ever I would have liked. So now I am waiting for them to get back to me and tell me when I can stay based on them having no other virgin experience customers. WHAT A CHEEK!! 😠😠😠 Never again virgin will I purchase with you and I will do all i can go let people know what they are in for it they chose to hand there hard earned money over to you!!”

Good afternoon, thank you for your recent review. We are really sorry to hear that you have experienced problems when using two vouchers that you have held from ourselves. With our vouchers, we do state on the voucher to activate this once it has been received to view all booking instructions. Upon activation, we do give a lead booking time to ensure the vouchers can be booked and used before they do expire, as a lot of our experiences do need a fair amount of booking notice. With the vouchers you held, we can only apologise that once they had been activated, there was not enough time given before the expiry date for the supplier to ensure they had dates and therefore the voucher was unable to be used. If the voucher cannot be booked within the expiry date printed upon the voucher itself, we do hold a £20 administration fee to proceed with an extension. If the voucher can still then not be fulfilled within the expiry date, our customers are able to use their voucher face value to exchange to a new experience. Once an exchange is processed, the expiry date on the new voucher will always remain the same as previously. Again, we would advise to activate this as soon as it has been received to double check any extra information and the lead booking time needed. With the Hotel experiences on our site, it is within industry standards for hotels to only hold a certain number of voucher allocations per day, week or month and restrict the days these vouchers can be redeemed. If these are then full, the Hotel is unable to accept any further bookings when using a 3rd party voucher. We are extremely sorry to hear that there were no suitable dates for yourself before the voucher does expire and that you are awaiting the Hotel to confirm when you can stay. We can see from the notes on your voucher that you have been offered another exchange and a free of charge extension under the circumstances if you are unable to get a booking made, we do just need a call into our team by the current expiry date on your voucher. We again are sorry for all disappointment caused with the vouchers held but thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

“It took me and my family and hour and a half to drive to this experience. Half an hour before I was due to go on the slide I received an email that said that the lift was broken and I was unable to do the experience. No compensation was offered for the fuel I spent to get there I was very disappointed”

Good afternoon Mark, thank you for your recent review although we are sorry to hear your experience was cancelled. The supplier will cancel the experience if they do not believe it will meet expectations on the day, or in this case if a customer's health and safety is going to be put at risk, we can only apologise that they had not made you aware prior to travel. If you could please email through all details to info@virginexperiencedays.co.uk, we will be able to advise you of the next steps. We do apologise again but hope this helps you further, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

“For Christmas we were given the Virgin Experience Shard Visit & Meal. The restaurant we booked easily, advised to do this first. I'm not getting any response from the email trying to book the Shard. Sent 2 emails 2 weeks ago. Tried the Virgin Experience Contact Form. Again, no response. Virgin Experience states if no response from email after 3 days, phone 01494 956788. This is impossible as you just can't get through at all & hang on listening to a recorded message. Also tried the 0344 504 0844 number also hanging on & not able to speak to an advisor. Would be nice to know where in the queue you are. It's very frustrating.”

Good afternoon June, thank you for your recent review. We are sorry to hear that you have had problems booking your Shard experience as part of the voucher that you hold. Our lines have been busier than usual over the past few weeks and although our team try to answer all calls as quickly as possible, it can be that the wait time is longer than we intend but we are sorry to hear that we were unable to answer your call. In regards to the booking you are attempting to make, our bookings team have been extremely busy since the festive period and do work on an urgency basis in regards to sending out confirmation emails. We have found your booking within the inbox and can see that your booking has not been requested until June. Due to this, you will receive the booking confirmation into your email once we are able to confirm the date and time requested, as the allocations have not yet been released to us this far in advance. If the confirmation has not been received within 3 weeks of the experience, please do contact us directly again on the number provided before and we will then look into re-sending this over. We do apologise for any disappoint felt and hope the above does help you moving forward. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
