What travelers are saying

"I had an amazing time with my family after getting our trip booked through Sky Vacations. I got recommended the agency through a friend and I haven’t looked back since booking with them. They’re always spot-on with the trips I’ve been able to book with them. Recently I went on a trip to Portugal with my family, they booked us a trip with a full itinerary from Porto and Lisbon and we were so impressed. Everything about the trip was spectacular, and we were honestly very impressed with how planned out the trip was, it was incredible. In the end, I wish I could give them more stars because of how lovely their services are, if you’re looking for your next trip to be booked, use Sky Vacations!"

"We booked our honeymoon to South Africa and Seychelles with Audley. Robyn was our point of contact and she did an absolute amazing job. Very helpful, knowledgeable and patient! Everything was thought of and taken care off and very organised. It was nice to sit back and let someone help with all the logistics - especially for a honeymoon. The properties they had were all amazing - each one was beautiful and service was impeccable. The thoughtfulness of the Audley team is really appreciated and they definitely know what they are doing. I highly recommend them to anyone."

What travelers are saying

"We booked a National Geographic expedition Holland and Belgium by River. The promotional literature promised a 14-day deposit refund window. The “invoice” was marked “non-refundable” deposit. We completed the National Geographic Traveler Information. About 8 days later we received the “Travel Agreement” to be signed. We both approved and signed the National Geographic documents. A Cruise Line Travel agreement was enclosed but had no signature line. This document contained language which was unacceptable. We submitted the signed NatGeo documents. The following day we canceled the trip due to the unacceptable Cruise Line language. Cancellation was made 12 days after booking and no deposit was returned. We were told on the phone that the refund deadline was triggered by the 14 day window OR signatures on the Travel Agreement which ever came first. This was NEW information. To date, we have received NO refund of our $1000. We cancelled our trip within the advertised 14 day window."

"I wanted to follow up my last review with another experience. I booked a trip to Jordan with Enchanting Travels last December. During that stay at the camp, I endured terrible sexual harassment by an employee of that camp. If I hadn’t reported the harassment formally to the camp and demanded that they review the video footage of his stalking behavior, I really believe I would have been assaulted. The employee, who was the butler of the camp, made me so uncomfortable when he brought my bags to my room. He cornered me near the back and asked deeply personal questions like why wasn’t I married yet and if I had any men in my life. He then asked for a hug, I said no but he said he wouldn’t leave without a hug. Later on after dinner, he said he will walk me to my tent which I said wasn’t necessary. He insisted then when we got to my tent, he saw that I didn’t secure the padlock to my tent correctly (there were no locks on the door just a padlock). Later that night, I woke up to someone trying to pull open the door to my tent but thankfully I locked the padlock correctly from the inside. The next morning, I woke up early to watch the sunrise from my tent. I opened the blinds to monitor the sun but I couldn’t shake this feeling that he was out there watching me. I thought that was ridiculous because it was 5am, there was no reason for him to be outside my tent, at the edge of camp, in the middle of the desert… I couldn’t shake the feeling and so I ripped open the door and light flooded the front of my tent and there he was. Watching me. I screamed, slammed the door shut and yelled get away. I reported the incidents to my guide who demanded to see the video footage. We reviewed the footage and there he was watching me. I reported the harassment to Enchanting Travels in January, it’s May now and they have done nothing in terms of follow up, communication or have any concern. Basically a “sorry that happened shrug”. I’m concerned other female solo travelers are being booked at similar camps but their complaints are being ignored. Suffice to say, if this experience isn’t being taken seriously by a “VIP” customer, then what else is being ignored?"

"Ullice was one of the best guides we have ever had; we have travelled extensively! He understood the needs of our group of 10, knew his history, interacted positively with locals and was very well organized. Hats off to him; he made it look easy, but we know there were lots of behind the scene preparations! This was our first trip with Classic Journeys and we'll be back."
