Safaris Tour & Trip Reviews

Robin and the crew at acis were brilliant and dedicated to creating a beautiful trip for our organization. The attention to detail and quick response in communication provided a feeling of safety and trust, which is key to any travel plans. The clear answers we received to our questions were speedy and thorough and I loved working with someone who understands the needs of musical and cultural groups. These folks are hard working, creative, flexible, and sensitive to the needs of their travelers. Bravo!

Acis has always been a great organization to deal with. However, it took perseverance on my part to get an initial connection. Perhaps it was because it was during the holidays.

Very knowledgeable representatives, very tailored and expedited trip planning, efficient communication. Overall an excellent experience working with ACIS.

We worked with Audley for our honeymoon trip in Africa; we got wrong guidance on visa, entry requirements, that made us change our destination 3 days before our wedding day, 4 days before intended departure! The travel agent kept pushing for me to keep with the original destination despite a rejected visa (saying I can get visa on-arrival when i couldn't). We ended up with a super stressful trip and not the luxury experience we paid $$$$$ for. I worked with a travel agency so I wouldn't have to plan my honeymoon on top of the wedding, but only to realize you can't leave it up to Audley!

My Along the Adriatic trip with ACIS was extraordinary! I loved our itinerary of going to Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, and Venice! Such a fascinating look at that part of the world. Our tour guide, Peter Ede, was amazing, and as he described it, it was like going to Austria, set in the Caribbean!

I have enjoyed the diligence and quick response of ACIS. The flight and hotel were scheduled fast, and I have received updates notifications. Also, Ms. Beth Pfohl contacted em to confirm if I do prefer a flight from my closet airport (BWI) or a direct flight from (IAD) from the other airport in Washington, DC area. That was a very nice detail, I really appreciate it.

Great agents always willing to answer any questions!

I have loved working with ACIS since 2005 and I’m looking forward to my next trip this summer!

Sept 2022 was my 23rd trip with ACIS (along with an AIFS 6 week back in the day with Mom the French teacher) and it was outstanding! I went to a teacher conference in Lisbon and was inspired to create a full itinerary for adults just to Portugal. We had great hotels, food, wine, and tours to cork factory, a winery in the throes of picking grapes, and a port tasting. All under the wonderful Tour Manager Sarah-Kate Redding. ACIS also lined up individual tours for each day of Lisbon, Evora, Coimbra, and Porto with guides who spoke excellent English. The entire group of 24 LOVED Portugal. Many thanks to ACIS for a job well done!!! Elaine Bixiones

I just finished my 33rd trip with ACIS! I am now retired from teaching art and switched from student trips to adult trips. Just like the wonderful trips with students, my adult trips are amazing as well. The hotels and meals were great, as always, and all my adults were very happy. There was a hotel that had a problem with the reservation, and ACIS bumped us up to a 5 star amazing hotel! Thanks acis, you took wonderful care of us once again ! I already have adult trips to Peru and Morocco planned, with Portugal in the works! Thanks ACIS!

I toured Greece in June, and Scotland/Ireland in July and they were two of the BEST trips ever! Despite some chaos in the travel industry, ACIS made everything seamless and worry-free! Our Tour Managers, Edoardo D'Ardia and Stan Pretty, were kind, funny and incredibly adept at making things fun! Top notch hotels, centrally located, great food, and every moment just shone with fun and interest. Two wonderful groups of travelers, two amazing trips. Can't wait for next summer!

I have tried to travel with other Educational Travel Companies in the past and never have had success, I believe due to lack of hands on involvement and personal connection. From the minute I contacted ACIS, there has been tremendous support getting my trip put together, a group formed and assistance with any troubleshooting needed. Even at 4:00 am in the airport I had a number I could call and a real person answered to help. They are incredibly student centered, thoughtful and helpful.

Great company, professional and responsive. If you want to travel with the best, ACIS is your only choice.

ACIS is an amazing company that ALWAYS has safety and travel experience as their top priorities. Traveling amidst Covid concerns could be a scary experience for some, but ACIS has wonderful travel insurance policies with the best coverage possible. My two trips this summer 2022 to Europe and Costa Rica went without any travel issues, and all travelers had an amazing experience. I wouldn't travel with any other peer travel company, and I give ACIS my highest recommendation. Cynthia T

I truly believe that ACIS is the best tour company anywhere and I would not take my students on a trip with any other company. ACIS has the best tours and the best tour guides, period. I have taken two trips to Spain with large groups of students that went incredibly well. My students are still talking about their last tour guide. The trips are fantastic and the rewards are amazing. I haven’t had problems arise on my tours, but I absolutely know that ACIS would take care of one, should it occur. I look forward to my next adventure with ACIS!
