SOTC Complaints & Reviews

I have booked for dubai group tour. Our one night stay was in palm atlantis. For that our tour manager has charged double amount from us telling dolphine bay is included. But when we reach there they told us your booking is not there.
If any responsible and sensible person is there in sotc to listen then please do any action. Everytime i call any person they say talk to this talk to them. Is this the way to treat your customers.?...

We have booked japan group tour for departure on 10.09.2018 for 6 nights. Now due to adverse circumstances, the trip is departing on 11.09.2018 but sotc has cut down the trip to 5 nights. This kind of service is not acceptable at all. We already had a short trip of 6 nights and that you have reduced it to 5 nights now with the same cost. The trip is as it is very expensive and we are not satisfied with this shortening of our trip.
We...

I booked mauritius travel package with sotc. After making payment they never got in touch. They rarely pick up the phone, and no senior person is ever available to answer any grievance. 2 days before my departure i have still not got the tickets or hotel vouchers.

Places likely to cover in the offered...

I ran a bill of rs 2600 on my cellphone, calling...

We have booked europe tour of sotc through space travels lucknow. Mr. Sagar joshi who is currently our group's tour manager for europe (12th to 22nd june 2018) is managing the tour very unprofessionally. It's already 10:10 am & the bus has not yet come to take us to disneyland.

Sotc, 4 dham, char dham, travel package.
This was the worst travel of our life. We have been travelling for more than fifty years but this was the worst travel. We booked the premium package but sotc cheated us on all three fronts’ viz. Travel, food and accommodation.
1. The trip involves entire travel by road. The travel was very clearly booked for a/c vehicles and we were charged accordingly. But the driver switched on...

My parents have been availing sotc for quite a while for tours around the world and they were satisfied. But recently they had a bad experience with sotc.

They booked a trip to japan from kolkata for 400k inr. They paid sotc in full 6 months in advance and provided the documents as they asked for. Sotc always told they will take care in checking and submitting the documents to be submitted for visa. Sotc applied the visa only...

Very unprofessional behavior from sotc. Before going for the visa process, we are asked to do the complete payment for the european splender trip and when asked if it can be paid once the visa is approved, we were told that they will cancel our visa application and the executive was very rude on call. With no other option the complete payment was done.

All documents were presubmitted to the executive and not observation was...

Sotc is definitely not serving its customer the way it says” it’s a chor company”! We had very bad experiences for continuous three years and in spite of that we had not learnt our lesson and the fourth and the last trip with these fraud people was last year 2017.
They hired such expert drivers for a customized tour from austria to budapest for us (That is what they say), the expert driver slept while driving on a highway to...

I am complaining of harassment faced by my daughter at turkey airport on may 5th because of non-availability of egypt visa, which sotc was supposed to organize for us. She was not allowed to board the flight from istanbul to cairo (Turkish airlines) twice at the istanbul airport. She spent 17 hours at the airport pleading with the airlines but they would not let her board without a valid visa.
Here are the details:
We are a...

I booked a tour to us with the company. After the booking nobody was available to resolve a simple query about the dates also. Every call was met with "we will get back to you on the issue". I would want my booking amount to be refunded.
They portray themselves as a big company but are actually a bunch of frauds who take no responsibility once they get the money....
