Audley Travel - USA Reviews 

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.

We were very pleased with Audley Travel. It was nice to have our trip planned out and organized, with attention given to details, such as transfers and special tours. We appreciated the trip itinerary handbook that outlined our entire journey; however, receiving it a bit earlier would have allowed us more time to review our plans. It was wonderful not having to worry about traveling from one area to another and our travel agent provided excellent suggestions for accommodations the matched our preferences.

I’d like to begin by giving my African specialist, Tom Wilkinson, a full 5 stars. The reason for the overall 4-star rating is due to the first two specialists I worked with, whose lack of communication made the planning stage more difficult, and because the final cost of the trip was significantly higher than the budget I had provided.

That said, once Tom took over, everything changed for the better. He went above and beyond to help manage costs where possible and to ensure that our trip was seamless and memorable. The camps, tours, guides, and hotels were absolutely outstanding, and aside from one very minor hiccup (quickly resolved), the experience was exceptional.

In the end, it truly was a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and I am deeply grateful for Tom’s dedication, professionalism, and care. If you’re planning an African adventure, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tom Wilkinson at Audley Travel!

Thora Taylor at Audley Travel made our family trip of a lifetime everything we could wish for and more. The trip planning was extensive, she listened to what was important to all of the members of our family, making it a memorable experience for everyone, down to each little detail spanning ages of 8 to 75. The trip was filled with cultural experience and historical learning in Cape Town, with fantastic hosts and guides. The safari experience in the Timbavati Preserve at Simbavati River Lodge was beyond our wildest dreams with the staff and the animals (and this wasn't our first safari)! Our time in Victoria Falls at Waterberry Farmhouse was incredibly special and the staff was so attentive. The attention to detail in crossing from Zimbabwe to Zambia with VISA details was so appreciated and our drivers took care of things. We felt safe and in good hands thanks to all of the planning and communication by Thora and Audley's staff. The people we met in country truly made this trip so meaningful and it shows that Audley's agents work hard to develop these relationships and make sure clients' experience are top notch. We would travel again in a heartbeat with their planning and guidance and appreciate all they did to make it a truly EPIC trip!

We would highly recommend using Audley Travel and Lily Cohen for your travel needs. We have had two big trips planned by them (Hawaii & London) and both were excellent, well planned, and worth the time and investment. They do a great job at understanding your expectations, needs, and the things you want to do and see and then put forth a great plan for you to enjoy. They had every detail nailed down for our two trips and nothing was overlooked. Lily is very responsive and knows everything you would expect for an experienced and high performing travel agent. We plan to use them again for our next trip.

From the pre-trip meetings going over every aspect of what we wanted to experience, through the post-trip follow up, our experience with Audley and specifically Kelly Edwards was unparalleled. The flights were meticulously arranged, our guides were friendly, informative and thoroughly enhanced our experience. Our drivers were always on time. The hotels selected for us surpassed our expectations. I, simply put, could not recommend Audley any higher.

The preplanning was a thorough review of what we wanted to see on our trip to South Africa. All the plans fell into place perfectly. The hotel and lodges we stayed in were beautiful, staff friendly and helpful. Our safari was perfect - we saw the Big Five and more. Up close and personal to elephants and lions and more. Our specialist was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She made our trip perfect and I would highly recommend using her for any travel plans.

Thora really made sure to take the time to understand the experience we were looking for - from the private guided tours to the boutique hotels. She made sure that every step of the trip was well-planned in advance...we didn't have to think of any of the details and could truly just enjoy our honeymoon! Highly recommend Thora Taylor at Audley!

With Audley Travel, you are not traveling alone. We recently finished a wonderful three-country South American tour custom-designed for us by Michael Waxman of Audley Travel It involved very complicated travel with multiple border crossings, including airlines, trains, automobiles, and even a motorized canoe. The only complication occurred when we were to enter Chile from Bolivia. We were at a very isolated location 15,000 feet in the Andes when our guide received notice that the border was closed due to a snowstorm. Somehow, Audley found two wonderful guides from Chile who drove 9 hours to an alternate crossing, got us through customs at an isolated location, and to our hotel safely. Our trip continued the next day on time and on schedule.

Don't travel alone. Travel involves more than a list of destinations. Trust a company that will be there when plans take an unexpected turn. Audley has earned our trust and is planning our next big adventure.

The most fabulous experience was planned for us through Audley travel! Every tour and guide was fantastic! Kudos to our country specialist, Andria Channels! Most memorable moment was swimming off the coast of Capri!!

Can’t wait to plan another trip!!

Just got back from Bali and was so pleased with our entire trip. Zach Vogel coordinated our trip and worked closely with me through every detail. Not only did he get all of the excursions well chosen for my 2 boys but he was also able to fill my needs and expectations for a very soulful, local feeling, non- touristy vibe I was really craving. Hotels were perfection as well. If you want to travel but not stress about all the details and just really enjoy yourself and be present in the moment, ask for Zach - A+ through and through!

Tamatha planned our Japan/South Korea trip from beginning to end, and it was AMAZING! It was everything we hoped it would be. We discovered many new places and things, and we learned so much about the culture of these countries. We will be booking with Audley again and asking specifically for Tamatha - highly recommended!

An incredibly well-designed itinerary in Japan, focused on our requests and interests. Our tour agent did an amazing job of leading us through all of the planning process and letting us know various options each step of the way. All the hotels/ryokans were wonderful as were tours and guides scheduled for us.
As to the country and people of Japan - nothing like it - a place of community, hospitality, kindness and calm (even though crowded and vibrant).
Wonderful!!

My husband and I had such a wonderful trip to Italy planned by Sarah! From the car services to the train, every form of transportation was seamless. Our 2 hotels we stayed in were the perfect fits. Sarah’s recommendations once I explained what I was hoping for were 100% accurate. It was like the 2 hotels were made for us! The 2 tours we did through Audley were so much fun. Our Colosseum and Roman Forum private tour was personalized just for us. The Capri boat tour was the most perfect full day excursion. We ate at 2 recommended restaurants and they were exactly as described. We cannot thank Sarah enough for her knowledge of Italy, her passion for travel and her expertise in planning the most perfect vacation!

Great to deal with. Planned a great trip for us to Iceland. They were always there if we needed anything before we left or while we were abroad. Our specialist was very helpful throughout the process

I want to heavily recommend using Audley Travel. My step-father and I used their service for a trip to New Zealand and neither of us could commend this company enough. We were connected with a great women, Keila, who was so incredibly insightful and helpful in our planning. It was extremely comforting knowing that our trip was in the hands of someone so bright. Everything worked out perfectly for us. The trip ended up being my favorite trip of my life because of her help. My step-dad texted me a couple of days ago about the trip and he was so grateful. He was still in awe a week after we returned home. Anyways, I loved the trip that Audley gave us and all of the insights that helped us along the way.

This is our second time using Audley to help us navigate a wonderful vacation. Last year we enjoyed Canada, this year we tipped our toes into Europe, and headed to Ireland! Lydia was exceptional! We have two older girls and are an active family who loves to enjoy the outside and dine! She helped us balance both of those requests seamlessly. We kayaked by castles, walked the Cliffs of Moher, walked to waterfalls, biked through Dublin, and never stopped smiling at the beauty around us! Once we were ready to relax we had reservations for dinner and each place was unique and delicious! Thank you Lydia for helping to make our dream holiday a reality!

Andria Channels is our specialist and we were blessed by her knowledge and care for us and our journey.
