The Matt Laycock Service
I have received an incredible service from Matt Laycock who has provided assistance and support in the set-up of a very large stag-group for attendance in Lisbon (Portugal).
Matt carefully listened to all the requirements that were given to him, managed my expectations and took a flight to Lisbon to see what could be achieved for a group of 40 males. Post his trip to Lisbon, I was presented with a range of options and offers, and Matt further went above and beyond my expectations to communicate with a 5* Hotel (which I had my heart set on) and arrange for a payment plan to be set-up with them.
Next, I was carefully guided through the range of activities that the group could have access to and build a fantastic package.
Matt has dedicated so much time to this process for our group (WhatsApp messages, calls and emails) and has truly been a great support blanket. Personally, I would not have been able to achieve such progress without Matt Laycock.
I did read about the group that booked a beer bike in Hamburg and whilst this was unfortunate for their group, I do not believe this is a reflection of the services provided by Banter Experiences but a reflection on the supplier in Hamburg.
I encourage all that are seeking guidance and support relating to stags, hens and party services to definitely check in with these guys (especially Matt)!

Hi Hayden,
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! Matt will be incredibly grateful for your kind words. He puts his heart into making every group feel supported, so we're thrilled to hear how valuable his work has been for your large group.

Amazing!
Banter is an amazing company. I've used them a few times to organise trips including a stag. Just told them what I wanted and they came back promptly with options for hotels, bars, clubs and activities. Transfers were seemless and our host was great. Just amazing that you can rely on them to book everything and you don't have to worry about anything. Everything is taken care of for you. Would 100% recommend

Had an epic time Budapest! It’s got to be one of the best Stag do’s I’ve been on in a long time!
Local guide was really useful, helped organise transport and the activities. Szechenyi Baths and the gun shooting were great activities.
Beautiful city with lots to see and do.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your review. We understand how frustrating it was to have your beer bike cancelled on the day. The supplier notified the group directly that their staff member had pulled out last minute, and unfortunately no replacement could be arranged.
This is the first time in over a decade that one of our suppliers has cancelled so close to the start time. We pride ourselves on our reputation and service, which our reviews reflect, and this situation has been very distressing for us too. We’ve been in contact with your lead booker Tim, and as head, we refunded him in full.

Avoid - misleading and unreliable.
booked a beer bike in Hamburg expecting a fun city centre tour as advertised. Instead, it turned out the activity was actually 25 minutes outside of the city, which was never made clear at booking. To make things worse, we received a call just one hour before start time telling us the activity was cancelled.
On a stag do, with a packed schedule, this completely ruined our plans and left us scrambling. Very disappointing, misleading advertising, and extremely poor organisation. Would not recommend.

Hi Graham,
We’re truly sorry your Hamburg beer bike didn’t go ahead as planned. The local supplier informed the group on the day that their staff member had withdrawn at short notice and no replacement was available, which was outside our control.
This is the first time in over 10 years that we’ve had a supplier cancel last minute. We pride ourselves on our reputation, which you can see from our other reviews, and this situation has been extremely distressing for us. We’ve been trying to get hold of Tim (the group leader), and as soon as we were able to, we refunded him in full.
The meeting point in Seevetal (20–30 minutes from Hamburg Central Station) was always shown on your itinerary and booking confirmation.

Sh#t banter
Got to be the most disappointing booking to date. You don't cancel 25 minutes before our booking was about to begin. This had been booked months before. Poor banter comes to mind.

Hi there,
It’s very disappointing for us too when an activity doesn’t go ahead. On this occasion the supplier informed the group directly on the day that their staff member had withdrawn and they could not provide cover.
In over 10 years of running stag and hen weekends, this is the first time a supplier has cancelled last minute. We take great pride in our reputation, as our reviews show, and this situation has been extremely upsetting for us as well. We’ve been liaising with Tim and refunded him in full as soon as we were able.

Hi Stephen,
We agree it was extremely disappointing to have your activity cancelled so close to the start time. The supplier informed the group directly that their staff member had withdrawn last minute and could not be replaced.
In over a decade of running events, this is the first time we’ve had a supplier let us down at the last minute. We are proud of our track record and reputation, which can be seen across our reviews, so this has been very distressing for us too. We spoke with Tim as soon as we were able and refunded him in full right away.

Last minute cancellation of main event
We booked the Hamburg Beer Bikes... we got to Hamburg from the UK, the company rang and cancelled 1 hour before the event. Offered no alternative activity or other solution. It was the main event of the stag weekend so it was extremely disappointing.

Hi Tim,
We’re very sorry for the disruption this caused to your stag weekend. The supplier informed you on the day that their staff member had withdrawn at short notice and they were unable to arrange a replacement.

We pride ourselves on our reputation, which our reviews demonstrate, and this incident has been extremely distressing for us.

The meeting point (Maschen/Seevetal, 20–30 minutes from Hamburg Central Station) was always stated on your itinerary and booking confirmation.

Host cancelled 1 hour before start
If banter is the activity being cancelled under an hour before starting, and miles outside of the city centre which wasn't as advertised, then I am not impressed.
