Activity Superstore Avis 

Great food, very clean, and very infomative.

I was given a fly fishing experience as a gift. Peter Arfield, my instructor for the day, was a true gentleman and nothing was too much trouble. He certainly knew his stuff. I would thoroughly recommend both Peter and the Activity Superstore.

Amazing experience from start to finish. Best tour ever and the agents who contacted me were so professional/ welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend

Voucher was for a stay at a historic inn. Stayed at Collyweston nr stamford. Booking process was easy and no hidden charges. Perfect gift

An awful experience. On giving 2 dates months ahead the place we wanted to stay could not accommodate us and there has been no help from Activity Superstore in how we can amend or edit what we choose. Have sent emails asking for help with no response.

Avoid, its not a nice experience in anyway!!

I still have not received any correspondence or replies to confirm my booking to go to Chelsea fc. His birthday is tomorrow:(

Terrible booking experience, cant get a voucher code, they just said to contact Sea Life Centre directly who had no idea about this scheme and said you have to book online.

Total joke. Will put in a PayPal dispute instead.

Dylan Tembe, friendly, helpful and has amazing customer service

Do not book with this company. We booked 2 sets of steam train and afternoon tea vouchers. We tried to book the train to Matlock but the nearest venue to eat is 30 mins taxi one way.

Because we have a 14yo that's joining us we are restricted as most in Birmingham are over 18 only. The others are too far away. You basically get 2 different trips.

We finally tried to book The Crown Hotel in Stone but after speaking to someone I was told they aren't taking the vouchers as they are being refurbished

I've tried to get a refund however have been told no as they you can book this venue on their system. Basically I'm being called a liar.

I will continue to fight for a refund but please save your money. Do not use this company

We've not even managed to book anything yet as this company:

a) doesn't let you see your options until you go to make a reservation. You literally cannot browse first. There is little to no information about the venues once you do validate your voucher.
b) There is no phone number to contact them on and they only offer to respond to any written queries within 48 hours.
c) They don't even have a bot you can talk to.

All in all, unless you want to give some one a bureaucratic nightmare for a gift, steer well clear of this shoddy operation.

If i could give more stars i would. What a absolute pleasure to speak with Dylan today. Wow super super service. Dylan you are a credit to this company so polite helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and i would 100% recommend your company if you are a representation of it. Just blew me away how good you were. Your a gentleman Dylan thank you 🙏 .

Seeing as i am not getting any response from emails thought I'd try and reach out to this company on here!!
Over 3 weeks ago now I requested to book my experience. One of my vouchers have been accepted but waiting on another 2!
Keep emailing but get an automatic response.
My experience is coming up soon and I still do not know if ee can attend!
Terrible service so far

Update: matter has been resolved now

Absolutely awful. Was gifted an afternoon tea to use with them, but all locations were impossible for me to get to. Paid an extra £40 to upgrade, simply to be able to use my voucher within an hour’s radius. Booked the experience direct with the hotel, then to be told four days before the afternoon tea that someone had already used my voucher in Huddersfield - over 5 hours away from me! Called and emailed every day to try and get this resolved, best they can do is send an email to the Huddersfield venue. Despite the fact I haven’t used this, and have never heard of let alone communicated with this other venue. They don’t bother calling back or replying to emails. So, Activity Superstore, are you a scam, giving our voucher codes away to others?

I was given a Pet Photoshoot voucher by a relative. I rang them to validate the coupon and told I had to pay a £35 deposit. I was very disappointed that they would only accept my credit details verbally over the phone; I reluctantly agreed as I didn't want to disappoint my relative. I used a local photographer using information from Activity Superstore Pet Photoshoot. The bill for 11 digital images was £650 but the discount of £20 only applied to hard copy albums so the voucher is NBG. It is over 2 weeks since the transaction was complete; I have been trying to get my my deposit back from Activity Superstore. After the latest phone call (38 minutes) all I had was waffle and that 'Click' would pay me back. I pointed out my contract was with Activity Superstore and it is there job to get their associates to pay me back. AVOID!!!

It’s such a shame but this has been the worst gift I’ve ever been bought.

I was given a ‘gift’ of 2 night hotel and afternoon tea, which you simply can not book both at the same place (despite being sold as one experience). Despite this it was still almost impossible to book any of the hotels.
After a long painful process we have now somehow manage to use our exchangeable value of £129 and pay an EXTRA £50 to get a one night stay at a hotel.. our voucher is now worth £179. This seems great, but when booking the hotel it is priced at £126 for a night. So a minimum of £53 profit for AS for zero reason.

There should be a benefit to buying these vouchers but it actually costs you more.

Stay clear.

The staff you speak to are always great and it’s a real shame but the process and the business are absolutely dreadful.

As other people say, just buy direct and save a lot

Like mentioned in over reviews, you are better off buying hotel.com, Airbnb vouchers.
The process to book a 2 nights stay is complicated, the map isn't very practical to make a selection, some of the hotels listed don't work with activity superstore anymore. Very restrictive conditions for most hotels : only available between October and April, not on Bank, nor school holidays, nor mother's day... I would NEVER have gotten a voucher myself for hotels... All hotels in UK are super expensive now, how do you expect to have a decent selection, when the hotel needs to make their margin and so are activity superstore... It looks like the customers service is under staffed (same names reappear, be it by email or over the phone) and working from home (fine but) with poor quality headsets. I have to contact them back in November since I want to extend the booking till January. Will see how it goes

Had a boutique hotel experience bought as a present. The online booking experience is quite clunky and poor. Choosing locations is hit and miss with very little detail on site. You have to research locations elsewhere. Choice is not as wide as the packaging leads you to believe and a number of places don't offer weekends.

Having navigated the booking and choosing a place available, we booked and then are informed we need to ring the hotel ourselves and sort a date. This is not a smooth process, in fact it's booking a hotel with extra steps!

On ringing the hotel, told to ring back later as not available. Not ideal, but I didn't expect to have to sort this myself.

The process is poor, the value o don't feel is there for the money spent and the effort it takes to book just one night away.

I can't recommend this company given the process in place and the prices of these activities, feels just booking direct would have been simpler and in many instances.... Cheaper at many of the hotel options.

This is a review about the experience of booking, not the hotel at this time.

UPDATE 11.09.26

Unfortunately, we have been unable to book a stay. Some hotels are midweek only, some have additional charges to stay Friday to Sunday and others require us to purchase an extra night so we can stay Friday through Saturday.

No answer from customer services as yet, so I have to now give the experience 1 star.

Hoping for a refund as we discovered booking direct or through other means would actually cost us less in many hotels we looked at. Not ideal at all.

I have a voucher for a 2 night hotel stay. Communication has been next to non-existent and when it has been made it's caused errors that the company go on to ignore, no matter how many follow-ups you send.

We requested a hotel booking for two specific dates. We received a voucher with an incorrect date.

I have chased them several times over a month and received nothing back. I am leaving this review in hopes they see this and it prompts them resolving my issue.

- James Brown (leaving name as to prompt them to resolve my ongoing issue for a service that we've paid for).

I booked a Fish & Chip trip cruise for a gift for Christmas last year. The advert stated “ This experience is available on selected dates throughout the year, subject to availability”.

Due to the hot weather my parents decided to book this trip in early July only to be told there were no more available spaces this year as they only run trips on a Tuesday between June and August. This was not mentioned in the advertisement for this trip or on the voucher. I have been emailing the company for weeks. They take days to reply and even though I have stated this is not my parents fault they cannot go on this trip as there are no more trips they have refused a refund and only offered to extend the voucher until May, even though the trips do not start again until June !!! If you do decide to book with this company check out availability first !

I personally would not recommend them and will never book an experience with them again as they have taken my money and my parents haven’t been able to use the experience through no fault of their own.

Customer service resolved my problem with true
Professional and friendly attitude what a very nice
Fella excellent 👍 agent name was Dylan fantastic
