Affordable World

We did the tour to Bangkok and Phuket in off season. We were concerned about the weather and if we would get a sub-par experience. But we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Affordable World!! Great company. Very organized and thorough. Our tour guide was amazing! He explained all of our stops and even some extra tid bits about the country. We were transported in air conditioned vans/sprinters to every stop. We felt right at home!

My son’s girlfriend was stuck in Athens in the middle of the night when Trump announced that US borders would close. She was there because Affordable World kept reassuring her that it was OK to travel. What a lie! We managed to get her out of there and onto a flight home. Affordable Travel was no help in this crisis. Not only did they not answer the phone to help her, they now refuse to refund any of her money! And all they send her is impersonal and dismissive messages. No empathy or sense of responsibility or concern. Do not use this company for travel! All the reassurances on their website are pure marketing and completely insincere. Stay away from Affordable World!!

I'm so disappointed in this company. Our honeymoon redo to Maldives was cancelled by the company due to COVID-19 and there was not a full refund issued. We have no trip and we lose $2000 due to something that was out of our control. Our hard earned money down the drain. We even purchased trip insurance. Completely devastated! I will never work with this company again and I suggest that if you're considering working with them you choose another travel agency.

Incredibly unprofessional company. Do not book a trip with this company unless you are willing to lose your money.

My sister and I had booked a trip to Bali. With the growing fear and concern of Covid-19 (coronavirus) AND the recommendation from the CDC (center for disease control and prevention), we canceled our trip 17 days prior to departure date. They were completely unwilling to refund us our money and we were asked to pay a load of penalty fees. A customer service representative even recommended that we cancel before the penalty fees increased, so we did.

A few days before our original departure date, we noticed that the company had updated the cancellation policy and penalty fees due to the rising concern over Covid-19. Naturally, we contacted them and asked if they would honor these updated fees. They said no & basically told us that if we had "waited" to cancel, the updated cancellation policy and fees would have applied. Therefore, people that were booked on the same EXACT trip as us were refunded nearly ALL of their money back (IF THEY CANCELLED LAST MINUTE) but those of us who cancelled 1-2 weeks early, lost a lot of our money.

Shame on this company for PROFITING from the fear and danger of a global pandemic.

Just returned from Greece touring Athens and Crete (Chania & Heraklion). Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and excellent every step of the way! Entire trip went smoothly. Our group received excellent care from beginning to end. All transportation and hotels were top notch. The trip was amazing and we would use Affordable World again.

Despite what is going on with the corona virus. Affordable world would not refund or adjust our trip. They claim it’s safe to travel to Bali even though the CDC recommends not traveling. 24 before we leave one of flights gets cancelled and they tell us to figure it out at the airport once we arrive. Currently Groupon is siding with us and trying to get our money back due to the improper service provided. And they have not responded back to them. Do not book with this company.

Glad I went to Thailand and China last year. Guides were great, helpful, and knowledgeable. The accomodations were nicer than I anticipated. Information on baggage (3 places) was a little unclear. I would totally recommend. Single travelers fee was better than other companies.

I did a tour in Thailand in August 2019 and had an amazing experience. The tour guide Audi was excellent!! He made sure that our group was taken care of every step of the way. I look forward to taking family the next time around.

Despite international warnings and travel restrictions around coronavirus, Affordable World has been completely unwilling to work with providing a refund for deposit or credit to move our trip to Europe. Due to their complete disregard for the health of their clients and unwillingness to work with us, we will never again use this company.

Great value for the money. I really think they should change the name to reasonable dream vacations or something equivalent.

I booked a tour with affordable world to Bangkok and Phuket. Because of the price I paid for the round trip and hotel, I was afraid the hotels were going to be 2 or 3 star at the most. I was happily surprised that the hotel were excellent. The tour itinerary was ok for me because, although it has extra tours it gave you free time to do your own thing. Since, I've been to Thailand before, I could do my own thing and visit other places that were not included in the tour, and even passed on the ones that were included if I've done them already.

I went with my mom to Japan. Only good memories. I'll travel with them again.

Honestly, i was a bit nervous buying the deal off groupon (especially for a trip on the other side of the world). The company made everything so easy and safe I cant believe i was worried in the first place! The tour options itself were great but to top it off we had the BEST tour guide ever, Ms. Patti! Highly recommend using them & def request her if traveling to Thailand. She went above and beyond to help us, knew & explained all the history and facts on the tour in a fun way unlike most tour guides who can be quiet boring. The only issue I had with the trip was I previously booked for September and had to change it to November (which happened to be no issue for them to change which was good.) However i was told I would be credited 100.00 for each passenger since their was a price difference and never was. Someone made a mistake some where and I am contacting them for a complete/correct answer. Even with that mishap, I would still recommend the company, mainly because Patti was that amazing!! (Also double check your flight when transferring some of the layovers they offer can be brutal)

Very impressed with the quality of the our tour we just did in Japan. The tour guide Koyko was phenomenal. I was a a dream trip. The hotels were very nice and good breakfasts. Nothing but good things to say :-)
