Audley Travel - USA Reviews 

Kudos and thanks for Audley travel for both a wonderful trip to Ireland and pleasant experience in developing the travel plans. Five stars for an itinerary that matched our needs, great suggestions for stays and experiences, and great service at all steps along the way.

My wife and I just recently returned from our honeymoon trip to Italy. It was an absolute dream come true and we loved working with Audley! In particular we worked with Sarah and she was so great! She was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went in Italy and she provided a lot of suggestions ranging from where we should go, to the hotels that we should stay at, and the fun things we should do while we were there, all of which I am so happy that we ended up doing. I’m really grateful for all of her help as the trip was better than anything we could have planned ourselves.

The entire process was easy, everything was taken care of, the hotels were beautiful, and there was no shortage of things to do in each place we went. In particular the hotels were absolutely outstanding and each one had wonderful staff that were always willing to help make our trip even better. Audley has great partners in Italy, so the people we interacted with were amazing and the entire trip was seamless. There was no stress even though we visited 4 cities in 10 days so there were a number of transfers. We were truly able to just relax and enjoy our honeymoon. It was well worth the additional cost to not stress about having to do all of the planning myself. I would certainly recommend working with Sarah and the Audley team and we will do so again in the future!

What a wonderful trip to England and Scotland! My friend and I just returned from an 11 day trip, enjoying the countryside of both England and Scotland. I reached out to Audley Travels for help in planning this trip. Lily, the country specialist, listened to what we would like to do and what we did not want to do. She came back to us with great ideas and plans for how we could stay in our budget and have a fabulous trip. We stayed in quaint little towns in England enjoying wonderful hotels, history and food.In Scotland we visited Glasgow and Edinburgh and enjoyed the Cities and had lovely hotels there also. We traveled between destinations using the UK rail system. Our sightseeing was with small tour groups touring North Wales, Yorkshire Dales and the England/Scotland boarder and the Lake district of England and the Loch district of Scotland with private tour guides.
This trip ran smoothly from start to finish. Everything was so neatly laid out and organized in the notebooks we received. The Audley App, was a nice handy tool also.
Lily was super and went out of her way to put this trip together even when I had to put the entire thing on hold for a minor surgery. Once given the OK, she finalized everything with her UK team the rest is history.
I would certainly Use Audley travels to plan my next trip

On a recent 10 day trip to Australia planned by Audley and their country specialist, Colin Loftus, everything went according to plan and to what I had been promised. Three plane trips were included and several tours all of which involved transfers which were all in place at the right time. The boutique hotels were charming. All in all a wonderful experience.

Treated to five star accommodations and two excellent guides for a Tanzania and Kenya trip. Tom took in to account our other couples age in locating close rooms for them. Everything was first class. For the plane flights Qatar Airlines was fantastic The lodges were located in exciting locations and staff was 5 star. Of course the Animals were the star. We saw the big 5 and many more

Exactly what we wanted and needed. From hotel stays to tours and guides, all had exceptional qualities. Lily was the best. She listened to our desires and requests with great detail prior to our trip. The detailed book sent for our trip made it so easy to navigate our trip for each city we visited. No stone left
unturned. Loved Ireland and Scotland. Thank you Lily for an enjoyable trip. All and more expectations met.

hotels and guides were top notch. All paperwork clear and exact.

she helped us plan a vacation that went smoothly and was everything we asked for. she listened and she gave us very helpful information

Our agent that was sent to us spelled out everything for us! All the hotels/BNB's were great. The food was great, the tours were great, even the weather was great :-). I especially the guided tours that were set up for us.

Just returned from Wales and had such a great time we are already talking about our next trip. Lily and the team at Audley listened to learn what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations. Accommodations were just what we wanted and provided a sense of life in Wales. We talked with several locals for hours in the pubs, enriching the experience. The tours, hikes and other activities were unique to Wales. Our guides were personable and tailored the tour as they learned more about us. It was a spectacular adventure.

12 days in Morocco arranged by Liz V at Audley could not have been better designed and importantly, executed. A great itinerary offering experiences in Fez, the Sahara, Marrakesh, the middle Atlas mountains, an overnight stop in the beautiful village of Skoura and the coastal city of Essaouira. Private tour with Audley's in country partner attending to all the logistics to perfection. Accommodations were outstanding, all 5 stars, several Relais & Chateaux properties. Arrangements made by our driver Karim for meals outside of the hotels were terrific. His knowledge of all of the areas visited was impressive. Steered us in the right direction whenwe wanted information on shopping and sightseeing on our own. He never left us waiting got us where we wer going on time and in good shape. He was kind, thoughtful and a true gentleman.
A visit to to a village to prepare a lunch with a family was a highlight of the trip. And the food was good.
I need to thank our guides and camel wranglers. That include a few Mohammed's, more than one Ahmed, a Badar, an Ayoub, a Mustafa and a Zaid
This was our first experience with Audley, it will not be our last.

We had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Mailhot to plan our private trip to South Korea. Her knowledge and patience was incredible. Every question and concern was addressed in an extremely professional manner.

Could not say enough good things about Andria Channels!! We spent a few days in Germany and Switzerland and Andria listened to every concern and answered every question that I have. She was also able to modify our trips as many times as needed to better fit our needs. She is very easily reachable and her pre-trip call is SO SO helpful. She shares her screen on a call and goes over the entire trip, puts all the details into google and talks about everything in detail. I was given detailed documents on our itinerary before we left for our trip which I highly appreciated. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Also, Andria in general is just a very nice, down to earth person and it makes it easy to talk to her, especially regarding any changes to the trip. She was great!

I had an outstanding experience with Audley Travel on my recent trip to Australia. My advisor, Colin, was incredibly creative and resourceful, arranging excellent tours that fit my interests perfectly. A highlight was a hidden gem in Port Lincoln, which I would never have explored on my own. Colin was also very flexible and supportive when I needed to make adjustments to fit my personal schedule. I highly recommend Audley Travel, especially Colin, for anyone looking for a thoughtful, well-organized, and memorable travel experience.

Aislyn did an outstanding job in a short amount of time. Communications with all was great. Had one problem (not with Audley) that was quickly resolved by Audley. Overall a great trip and would recommend their services.

I recently returned from my Southern Africa trip arranged through Audley, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was smooth, thoughtfully planned, and filled with memorable highlights.

Planning with Thora
A special thank you to Thora, who was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. Her excellent communication ensured every detail matched my expectations and that nothing was overlooked. Thora also followed up after my trip to gather feedback, showing her dedication to both clients and future travelers. Her expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence every step of the way.

Trip Highlights

In Cape Town, the meet-and-greet service was seamless, and Abbey Manor Guesthouse was beautiful with wonderful staff. My guides for the Cape Point and Table Mountain tours were punctual, flexible, and very informative.

In Franschhoek, the Country House and Villas were charming with attentive staff. The Wine Tram and horseback wine tasting were both fantastic experiences.

Victoria Falls was another highlight: Mbano Hotel was a gem, the activities were well organized, and my guide Bronwyn was a delight. The Royal Livingstone Express train ride was a special touch.

Ending on Tsowa Safari Island was perfect: warm hospitality, incredible meals, and the magical experience of watching the lunar eclipse on the river.

Overall
This trip was a wonderful mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. I felt well taken care of the entire time and would wholeheartedly recommend Audley to anyone planning their dream vacation in Africa.

It was extremely easy and a pleasure to work with Eric. He knows Portugal very well and was able to take our ideas and craft a trip that my son, grandson, and myself will never forget.

Travel agent listened well as to what we were desiring. She planned excellent trip down to the details. Tours were on time, guides were awesome, hotels were great, sites met all our expectations. A truly memorable trip to Italy. I know it takes considerable effort to plan all the details of a trip. This was done flawlessly.

We loved working with Caroline to plan our trip this summer! She was a ton of help and tailored to our needs for each step of the travel as we had never visited Ireland before. We totally recommend Audley and are grateful for our experience!

Have not typically used a travel agency but decided to do so to visit Portugal as we do not speak Portuguese and wanted to make the most of our time there. Eric at Audley did an outstanding job of arranging the trip of a lifetime. Every hotel arranged was fantastic and the activities planned gave us a thrilling time. Most impressive was the quality of the guides he arranged for us in each place visited. We felt a warmth, attention and respect that made the trip more than we could have expected. Eric demonstrated tremendous insight into how we could achieve a connection with our ancestors. We do not have words to express our gratitude for the thoughtful, professional and detailed planning that went into the itinerary planned for us. We are so very glad we engaged Audley.
