Feedback and Complaints

Feedback and Complaints Policies

At Central West Tours, we really value your feedback. Following the completion of each Hosted Experience, we send out an email survey to gather our guests’ responses to help fine tune and tailor our future Hosted Travel Experiences. These surveys are anonymous and we appreciate the time you take in responding. Please also feel free to drop us a line anytime and say nicole@centralwesttours.com.au if you have any additional feedback for us.

We prefer to be made aware of any problems or concerns you may have while you are on tour with us, so we can take steps immediately to rectify the situation. You are very welcome to speak with us at any time during the tour, as instant feedback is greatly appreciated so we can ensure you have an enjoyable experience with us.

We do our utmost to provide accurate information on our website, answer all your queries and ensure you enjoy our Hosted Travel Experiences. Sometimes though there may be instances where you feel your flights or accommodation, or another aspect of your Experience, did not match your initial expectations.

Please note that Central West Tours only facilitates the actual Hosted Travel Experience and related Services. If you are unhappy with your flight or flight seating, or there are issues with your accommodation such as level of cleanliness, food quality or room quality, it is best to take this up direct with the third-party service provider (the airline, hotel or restaurant) at the time of your complaint. Please refer to our full Terms of Service.

If you have a problem with a third-party supplier while on our Hosted Travel Experience, we ask that you alert your Tour Host regarding the issue immediately, so they can assist you with your dealings with the third-party service provider if needed.

If you feel you have a more substantial complaint or issue that needs to be dealt with, please refer to our Complaints Handling Policy below.
