Tangney Tours Traveller Reviews

The Lourdes Pilgrimage with Westminster Diocese was a blessed experience, particularly because we managed to avoid huge issues the main flight carriers, shops etc. I was particularly impressed by the volunteer coordinators who ensured everyone in need of assistance got it.

Tangney Tours got us to Lourdes and back effectively and quickly, especially considering the complexity of arranging travel for people with medical issues. The only thing I would say is that it would be helpful to let people know that tickets will be issued at the airport. This was not mentioned in the letter received before travel so I had to call and ask. Perhaps regular travelers to Lourdes would know this, but not being one of them, I was surprised not have this information.

I really enjoyed my holiday, it the first time I've been abroad and everything went very smooth. I was nervous with not being abroad before and I throughly had the best time ever, Loureds is a beautiful place.

They had thought of everything, it most of taken some planning and they were great

From boarding our bus to reaching our destination I couldn’t fault anything. We were on boat overnight 22 hours in total. Our bus driver was fantastic a wonderful driver and person. I honestly couldn’t fault a thing the organisation that had gone into this trip second to none.

Again brilliant everything fantastic,kept us informed about everything

The pilgrimage was well organised and the support provided by everyone to a disabled traveller was excellent . the Catholic Association provided all the necessary care and assistance and it is amazing that they provide this so effortlessly. It is quite likely we will try to do the same thing again in 2025.

Tangney Tours are well known for their pilgrimages and this one was no exception. Making payments is easy and their office staff are all so welcoming. Having a director travel with us is very comforting and insures any little problems can be easily resolved.

We travel to Lourdes each year with Westminster, normally I spend my Birthday their, but this time we had to fly back the day before my Birthday to attend the wedding of Bernard and Pirlanta's eldest Son

Always good and friendly team

Once again I was fortunate to see an opportunity to repeat and add to my visits to Lourdes - and with Tangneys again. Old friendships renewed and many new contacts made.

For me, it is the total reliability I suppose. I hadn’t analyzed until asked to face the question. After so many years and remembering deceased family members respect for the Tangney family, one has no need to question further. If there are blips , one thinks nothing of it for it will be nothing to do with the tour operator but that firm will know the best way to look after all concerned. Trust is the key.

Things started off very well for the holiday. It was great getting the information pack and communicating before the trip. Our hotel had WiFi issues, but they were fixed while we were there. Overall, the pilgrimage was intense, but a great experience. At the end, when it came to returning to the UK, everything seemed to go out the window. The plane was delayed so long that I didn't get home until 3am the next day, when I should have been home that night. Despite requesting special assistance at both airports to get on and off the plane, my friend and I were virtually stranded. No special assistance was available, so we had to beg a staff member who wasn't a special assistance staff member for help. This portion of the trip tarnished my enjoyment of the trip a little bit.

It was a smooth booking process with the tour operator. The staff was very helpful in helping me find the hotel my friend was staying in so we could share. I appreciated that they understood my needs and checked if I had everything I needed. During the booking process, they made sure I knew what to expect after that. In general, I thought the tour operator did a great job.

Hotel was very good indeed. The leaders Dee. and David were professional in every way, also caring, and we felt safe from beginning to the end. It was the first time we’d been on a plane since Ashley’s diagnosis 4 years ago. The support from the young people was wonderful, really was. We will definitely go next year so please send us if possible an indication when we can book. The organisation of the large group was a credit to the organisation and a total credit to your tour company. Best wishes Kath and Ashley Cheatle

The staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

Tangney Tours

Late decision to visit Lourdes (again) and thanks to the excellent help and advice from Tangney Tours we had a wondeful experience with the Catholic Association in a new hotel (for us) and a great and welcoming group of people. We are already planning to return in 2025.

Excellent work from Tangney Tours in "squeezing" us onto the Stansted flight, recommending a hotel (great choice that we will use again next visit) and sorting out the paperwork and tickets as promised and on time. A daily visit in the hotel and a recognition of my wife's special day completed their great service.
