Audley Travel Reviews

The itinerary was perfect. Thora took careful consideration of my priorities and built a unique experience that left both my husband and I with a desire to return in the near future. We met wonderful people from different parts of the world, learned a lot about the local environment and took home memories that are irreplaceable.

Had an amazing trip to Japan thanks to Audley Travel and our rep, Adam Falk. He took time to listen to our requests, what interests we had, what we hoped to take out of this holiday. Everything was beyond what we imagined, hotels were perfect and in good locations, the guides he had set up along the way provided information we never would have known if we did this completely on our own. The itinerary fit us perfect, from big city to small towns, gardens and temples. This is our second holiday with Audley, completely satisfied with the planning and service they provide, their reps are very knowledgeable, will definitely use again for future travels.

Robyn Hutchons who was our point of contact in planning our safari to South Africa and holiday in Mozambique, was very helpful and patient in planning our trip, and what she produced was very good and met our requests in every way. We had a superb holiday which we could not have put together ourselves. Robyn's knowledge made all the difference.

Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with and she did an outstanding job planning our last-minute customized trip to Italy! She listened carefully to all of our requests, she helped us check off all our boxes, and she made some additional suggestions that turned out to be terrific! Thanks to Sarah and Audley Travel, our trip totally exceeded our expectations! I strongly recommend Sarah and Audley Travel to anyone planning a vacation. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and with you every step of the way. They address every detail so all you have to do is enjoy your travel experience! We can’t wait to do another trip with them soon!

We had a great experience working with agent Jeff Procopio, based in the U.S. We were planning a 35th anniversary trip to Switzerland & Italy (we'd never been to either) and only had a high level vision for our trip. Jeff listened to our thoughts and crafted an itinerary that realized that vision and aligned with our budget. Jeff was amenable to making adjustments based on our feedback, until we arrived at the perfect itinerary for us. Jeff was also immensely helpful identifying best modes of transportation between the many points during our 2-week journey; sharing his insights on tipping, activities, tickets, excursions, etc. We were sent a well-organized binder with all the details and documents preceding a 90-min pre-trip call with Jeff to review every detail of our trip. It was only on that call that we realized how many questions we had and asking Jeff in real time was so valuable. We felt confident as we embarked on our trip and Audley Travel was highly responsive to any questions that came up while touring. And...it was truly a trip of a lifetime. I would highly recommend Jeff and Audley to craft a personalized and special experience.

My daughter and I went on a literary tour of England and it was the best trip we have ever taken! Lily, our travel specialist did a fantastic job of designing the perfect itinerary and every location we went to had the best amenities and every guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. I would recommend Audley Travel to anyone wanting to go on the perfect adventure!

Robyn did an amazing job planning our vacation. While in country, Costa Rican Trails was an excellent partner in transportation and excursions. Esther was always in touch with us, and every day was planned and communicated. Our drivers, Marco, Marvin, Gunner, Jose, and Brandon/Diego who also doubled as our rafting guides, were awesome! We always felt safe and they did an excellent job navigating the roads and being tour guides. Each day was wonderful. Our family had the best time, and we are already planning to return to Costa Rica. Thank you Robyn and thank you Audley!

I have recently returned from 20 day Malaysian holiday. I had very specific requirements to my holiday with places that I wanted to visit as I was born there so wanted to return to places I had been as a child. Charlotte from Audley was amazing. She not only fulfilled my requirements she blew them out of the water. From the planning, booking and the actual trip everything went without any problems. The quality of the service from Audley was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this company. Now I just want to go again.

Start to finish this was an excellent experience. Our rep, Desti, listened to our wants and needs and built it into a perfect agenda. We received a book that outlined a very complex agenda along with where to be, and what to look for at every step of the way. The decisions on lodging, tours, and meals were all spot on. The guidance in an area we had never been in was invaluable.

We had a wonderful trip to Peru and the Galapagos. A well organised itinerary by Holly Kennedy - excellent guides in Peru and Ecuador and excellent boutique hotel choices in Cusco and Quito. We visited the Galapagos on Solaris an intimate experience with around 16 passengers on board.

From start to finish, Alex Shepherd at Audley Travel was absolutely outstanding. He helped shape initial ideas into something truly unique, responded promptly to every query, and pulled together an incredible local team that delivered above and beyond at every stage. Thanks to Alex and his partners in Cambodia — especially Nick and his team - we were able to deliver the experience of a lifetime. The itinerary was adventurous yet seamless: motorbikes, helicopters, speedboats — no detail was left to chance, and yet the whole journey retained that magic of mystery and discovery that makes these expeditions truly memorable. This is the fourth trip that I have completed with Audley and they keep getting better. Every element reflected care, precision, and a deep understanding of what makes a trip extraordinary. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alex, Nick, and everyone involved, to anyone, anytime.

I have to admit I was a bit worried at first, using an agent we found online, but the reviews are true. Our trip to Italy was planned perfectly and was fabulous! If we had questions, there was always someone available to answer them. Even while in Italy, the partners that work with Audley were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Cassey is who we began our planning with until a position transfer, and Jenna is who we completed everything with. Both women were wonderful to deal with and very knowledgeable. Our drivers were all extremely pleasant, our tour guides made the experience so much better, and our hotels were all very clean and comfortable. It was an amazing journey.

Christian LeFort was absolutely fantastic. He organised our honeymoon for us and paid the utmost attention to detail in identifying what we wanted and then tailoring the perfect bespoke trip for us. Would use Audley again absolutely anytime, and strongly recommend Christian.

I wanted to go on a trip to Japan with my 79 year old grandmother and Shannon Phelan at Audley did a superb job planning a trip that was both exciting but manageable for her. The pace was just right and the itinerary was perfect for my grandmother who loves Japanese arts and crafts. We particularly loved going to Kanazawa as it was quieter but the gardens were stunning. Thank you for helping me create what genuinely was the trip of a lifetime- I will carry these memories with me forever.

Charlotte was lovely to deal with when arranging our trip through Audley Travel to Borneo. She put together a great itinerary which was well planned out. She understood well what we wanted and was open to our feedback after our trip which was also good as this is often a bit neglected. We had a great trip enjoying lots of wonderful wildlife and meeting friendly smiling people which lit up our holiday and created brilliant memories.

Spoke with Sarah Quigley @ an extension trip prior to an active hiking tour in Italy. She completely understood our needs and developed a fantastic itinerary! Can’t wait to take the trip!

From the first contact to our arrival home our experience with Audley and Eric was the best vacation time we have ever spent. We have done others and none compare to the expertise and quality of service we received from Audley. We had a wonderful time and would continue our frendship with all that were involved.

I have just recently booked my first Cruise with Audley. I wished to travel to the Far East. I have never had a cruise before so was a little unsure what to expect. My Cruise Specialist was Caroline Her expertise and knowledge at putting together an itinerary for myself and my friend ( both in our mid 70's ) was beyond expectations. Everything meticulously planned by her. A lot of thought and care was given to our needs also our quotation was received almost immediately. Of course we booked the Cruise and cannot wait to experience the joys of Hong Kong Vietnam Thailand and Singapore. Thank you so much Caroline you are an asset to Audley Travel.

We recently returned from an unforgettable journey through Spain—exploring Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville—expertly arranged by Hannah Whitesides at Audley Travel. Her thoughtful planning, local insight, and attention to detail made our experience seamless, immersive, and truly unforgettable. Culinary Delights One of the standout moments of our trip was a hands-on paella cooking class in Barcelona. With guidance of our wonderful chef, Ana from Fresh Cooking Spain led us through the art of crafting traditional paella, along with tapas. Her warmth, humor, and passion for Spanish cuisine made it one of our favorite memories. Architectural Marvels In Barcelona, the Sagrada Família left us absolutely speechless. Gaudí’s visionary architecture, from its towering spires to its intricately detailed facades, was even more impressive in person. Our guided visit brought the history and symbolism of the basilica to life, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. Artistic Treasures Another highlight was our visit to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC). The museum’s extraordinary collection of Romanesque church murals, Gothic altarpieces, and modern Catalan art gave us a deeper appreciation for the region’s rich artistic heritage. In addition to the artwork, the rooftop terrace offered spectacular panoramic views of Barcelona—an unforgettable vantage point that perfectly capped off our visit. Seamless Travel Experience Every step of our journey was effortless, thanks to Hannah’s expert coordination. From beautiful accommodations to knowledgeable local guides, she tailored the entire experience to our interests and preferences. Her personalized touch and support throughout made us feel both cared for and inspired to explore. We can’t thank Hannah enough—and a special thanks as well to Ana for sharing her culinary talents with us. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we wholeheartedly recommend Hannah Whitesides and Audley Travel to anyone planning a customized and enriching adventure through Spain.

2 minutes ago New This was our first experience using a travel agent for an international trip. I found Audley on Instagram. After speaking to a consultant (Eric) we decided to put our faith in this company. We set a budget and quite honestly Eric was dedicated to our travel plans. We discussed, set itineraries, changed it a million times. As to the trip and choices Eric made in regard to hotels, transportation and tours, far exceeded what I was expecting. He booked us on private tours, hotels were all amazing, and transportation was flawless. We truly connected with Eric and virtually every aspect of our trip was discussed in detail. He had us on “ walking “ tours, which I had rejected. We discussed it and he convinced me to do them. So glad he did. We are retirees on a fixed travel budget. Audley is the place to go. And if you’re going to Portugal , Greece or Spain , Eric is your man.
