Poor customer service and no response on refund/credit request

I booked a Dubai travel package with Rayna Tours for my family of seven in December 2025. Due to the ongoing war situation and safety concerns in the region, we no longer felt comfortable proceeding with the trip in March 2026 and requested either: a full refund, or at minimum, travel credit for future use. Unfortunately, the experience after booking has been extremely disappointing. The agent I was originally corresponding with stopped responding completely, and despite reaching out to other agents as well, I have not received any productive or customer-friendly resolution. For a family booking of this size, I expected at least basic communication, empathy, and a clear resolution path. Travel plans can change for genuine safety and family reasons. Even if a company has policies in place, the least they can do is respond professionally and offer reasonable options. What has been most frustrating is not just the refund issue — it is the lack of accountability, poor communication, and complete absence of customer support once payment was made. I am still hoping Rayna Tours will do the right thing and offer either: a full refund, or future travel credits that we can use when we feel comfortable traveling. At this point, I would advise other travelers to think carefully before booking.

Excellent experience, thanks to Vinay Punjabi for the assistance.

I had a great experience with Raina while booking my Dubai trip. Their communication was excellent and the service was smooth and professional throughout. The tour guides and drivers were friendly, and the hotel they selected for us was very suitable and comfortable. Special thanks to Vinay Punjabi, who assisted me from the beginning, answered all my questions clearly, and made sure everything was well explained before proceeding. I’m very happy with the overall service and would highly recommend Raina.
