I booked a tour with them last year. They changed the second night's accommodation to a different town (50 miles away) a week before departure and my group found the organisation and standard of accommodation to be poor. I sent a letter of complaint on my return home and received a poorly written reply without a single apology. I will be avoiding in the future.

This Pad Company is the worst it could possibly be. We had the worst holiday imaginable with them. Never again. Filthy hotel, brought to places l that were not on the agenda. A crazy abusive tour guide. The sound system ob the coach didn't work. Diabolical service. Rotten food. The fact that they are still in business, says a lot about Ireland. Never again. Beware. Stay away.

We have travelled many times on group tours in the past but unfortunately the company we usually book with don't go to Scotland so we decided to try PAB Tours. We experienced a world of difference. We travelled on the first week of July on the Highlands and Islands Tour. First of all we had no Guide and the driver whilst he was a careful driver it was his first time on this trip and he had no knowledge of the places we were visiting or the history or culture of the country. When we first enquired about the Guide he told us we would get one in Scotland which did not happen. We also found it hard to understand why we could not be positioned nearer to the places we were visiting. For example we spent 4 hours travelling from Fort William to Iona and then another 4 hours backtracking to the same hotel. That left us only 1hour and 30 minutes to spend in Iona and see the Abbey which is quite a walk away and slightly uphill. Lucky for us we are fairly fit as only 8 people out of 33 managed to fit it in atall. It was all very rushed and we felt it could have been better organised. The hotels were not the best especially the Croit Anna where we spent most time. The food reminded us of what we might expect in a Nursing home or institution. Small portions thrown onto plates and dished out like school dinners. A lot of people seemed to be seniors so bad choice of hotel as no lift and many stairs to climb. However the staff especially in the dining room were mostly friendly and helpful despite being rushed off their feet and did their best. I'm not sure if the no Guide experience was a one off or normal service as I emailed PAB twice and got no reply which does not seem like a professional way to deal with complaints. However we know from past experience that a Guide is essential to make the trip interesting and enjoyable especially on very long coach journeys. Another thing we noticed after a few days was the driver hadn't mentioned the toilet onboard which is usually there for emergencies and when we queried this he explained that he had a key for it but PAB hadn't paid his company for the toilet. Surely on a long journey this is essential especially for older people. We enjoyed the scenery and made new friends and cherish the memories of the craic we had along the way but needless to add we would not choose to travel with PAB Tours again.

I booked with PAB tours for a trip to Scottish highlands in june 2017, complete waste of money, food choice doesnt cater for everyone, half portions slopped onto plates and very small portions served,walls in restaurant splashed with food , one hotel two miles from town , on a bus for four hours , crossed on two ferries to spend aprox an hour and a half on an island and another four back, our last day we visited one shopping centre and stayed in a hotel , no sightseeing arranged for that day , obviously money making opportunity for the hotel, I had to eat out in restaurants at times as the choice of food very poor, i emailed both the tour company and the company that provide the food and received no reply, dreadful company, ripping people off,avoid!!!

PAB organised a tour for some elderly relatives of mine. It was truly terrible, Not only was the coach dirty and regularly late - they didn't even go to Downton Abbey, which was the point of the tour.
