Great holiday with mix of organised aspects and self guided

We went to the Rockies on a tailor-made tour organised by Audley. This is the third time we have travelled with this company, each time it has been a tailor-made holiday. We have found that if you go with a clear idea based on your own research the holiday more than meets expectations. The alternative is to go with their suggestion which may or may not meet your needs. From the flights from the UK, the hotels, excursions including Rocky Mounta...

We went to the Rockies on a tailor-made tour organised by Audley. This is the third time we have travelled with this company, each time it has been a tailor-made holiday. We have found that if you go with a clear idea based on your own research the holiday more than meets expectations. The alternative is to go with their suggestion which may or may not meet your needs. From the flights from the UK, the hotels, excursions including Rocky Mountaineer train, bear watching etc, internal flight by sea pane, car hire etc it was as we wanted and meant our holiday went well. They provide suggestions of restaurants, excursions and places to visit in your pack the pack is excellent with sections on important information, flights, itinerary summary, day by day, accommodation, map of the region, country facts plus a copy of the itinerary summary for you to leave with relatives. This is a reliable source of information throughout plus contains vouchers for accommodation and travel and excursions.

Rating for tour operator:

The company has experienced staff who have been to the countries and fully researched the holidays. This means that you can have confidence in their information which is comprehensive.. A very useful service is the emergency telephone number which we have used before and they dealt with the problem.

First class service from start to finish - Highly Recommended!

We had a two night stopover in Singapore before embarking on our Borneo adventure! We spent time in Kuching, Sepilok visiting the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and Sun Bear Conservation Centre, Abai where we explored the Kinabatagan River, the Borneo Rainforest Lodge in Danum Valley and Gaya Island for some R&R. We had the most amazing time and will forever cherish the memories.

We went to Singapore and Borneo April/May this year with Audley Travel and we can honestly say the service was outstanding. The moment we picked the phone up to make enquiries the South East Asia team could not have been more helpful. The booking process, itinerary, flights, accommodation pre and post holiday phone calls were all dealt with sympathetically and professionally and we would have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone planning a holiday. We will certainly be using their services again for our 2017 trip!

St Petersburg with no issues

Booked a weekend to St Petersburg to see the Hermitage and Summer Palace. So in 3 days we saw all we wanted, missed all the queues, eat is some great places as recommended, had a tour guide who was on time, knew what was what and just made it all work. Expert help with flights from Audley. all in all 10/10

The lesser known Tiger Reserves of India.

A trip to visit three of the lesser known, quieter National Parks of India. Three beautiful National Parks grouped around Nagpur: Tadoba, Pench and Satpura. All beautiful in their own way with some amazing wildlife as well as the ubiquitous Tiger. Great sighting of Sloth Bear, Leopard, Wild Dog, Gaur, etc. But particularly good Tiger sightings.

We knew the destinations, Audley supplied the itinerary, the logistics. And as usual it all worked impeccably.

Safari Wonderland

10 day tailor-made trip to South Africa, focussing on wildlife. Three days in Hazy View at The Rissing ton Inn and five days at Chapungu camp, Thornybush Game Reserve. It was a joy.

Audley are client focussed, helpful, attentive and provide great paperwork and back-up information. A few uncharacteristic errors didn't affect the enjoyment of the holiday.

Absolutely Superb

We undertook a tailor made trip to South Africa. We travelled from Cape Town through the Winelands and along the garden route. We flew from Port Elizabeth to Durban onto Fugitives Drift for a tour of the Battlefields then onto Johannesburg. It was our first time in South Africa and all the arrangements made by Audley Travel were excellent.

I was looking for a new tour operator as our usual long haul provider had gone downhill. Audley were recommended. I have only praise for this excellent company. We undertook a tailor made trip to South Africa. From my first contact with Andrew at Audley to our return the experience has been exceptional. The documentation we received to take with us was great detailing everything and also suggestions of things we could do with our leisure time. The tour operators used in SA were of a high standard as was our accommodation. I've never had such a stress free holiday. I will highly recommend Audley and definitely use them for our long haul trips in the future.

Absolutely fantastic

Our 3 week tour of India with Audley began in Delhi such a mad city how our wonderful driver negotiated the traffic was unbelievable. We proceeded to Agra and 'TheTaj' more beautiful than any photo can depict. Then on to Jaipur and Udaipur where our hotel rooftop restaurant had wonderful views of the Lake Palace. A flight to Cochin to tour Kerala was next staying mostly in homestays which were fabulous. A visit to Munnar and the tea plantations ...

A flight to Cochin to tour Kerala was next staying mostly in homestays which were fabulous. A visit to Munnar and the tea plantations gave us our first experience of monsoon rain. Finally to the beach at marari for a well earned rest. We cannot fault Audley in any way the whole trip ran smoothly and the quality of guides drivers and accommodation was first class.

We got our kicks on Route 66!

We drove (by car) from Chicago to San Francisco over a period of 42 days, staying in 19 different locations. We had the trip of a lifetime, with sights ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime...but mainly sublime. We enjoyed live music in Chicago, Nashville and Memphis; watched shows at The Grand Ole Opry and Cirque du Soleil; travelled fascinating routes through desert, mountain, ranges, coastal hill climbs and lots of Route 66; we stood ...

We had the trip of a lifetime, with sights ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime...but mainly sublime. We enjoyed live music in Chicago, Nashville and Memphis; watched shows at The Grand Ole Opry and Cirque du Soleil; travelled fascinating routes through desert, mountain, ranges, coastal hill climbs and lots of Route 66; we stood 'on the corner in Winslow, Arizona', cruised The Mississippi, Lake Michican, San Francisco Bay and went whale watching off Monterey. Every day brought something amazingly different..of this world but out of this world (yes, we included Roswell). I wrote a blog rollingoap.wordpress.com....and ran out of superlatives.

Audley Travel made our trip of a lifetime possible, at an affordable price. We shall always be grateful that they made our dream come true.
