If you want a trip of a lifetime then this is the company for you. We have used them twice once for Western Canada and more recently for a trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Both trips exceeded our expectations.

The Tanzania specialist Scott Davenport was extremely helpful and made the trip both memorable and hassle free. An outstanding service and I would highly recommend this company.

This was the first time we had considered having a company plan a holiday for us, I had always planned toad trips myself. However, on this occasion for a long awaited trip to the North East USA, to see the Fall colours, we decided to give Audley travel the opportunity. From the start Audley (in the form of Monty Bampfield) were engaged and helpful in planning our 12 day trip round New England. In depth telephone calls ascertained what we were looking to gain from the trip and what it was we wanted to see. A draft itinerary was produced which we were able to tinker with to align with what we wanted. A comprehensive travel pack was sent to us which gave all the detail and advice we could wish for. The holiday was flawless from Audrey's angle with minor niggles in country being outwith their gift to influence. Not cheap but I guess you get what you pay for. Professional, engaged and highly recommended.

Audley clearly has the resources and contacts to help weave your trip together. In my instance, I needed to make some minor changes to my trip which included one excursion cancellation. Instead of receiving help I received an email admonishing me to stay with my itinerary or else there would be cancellation fees. I was literally badgered by the specialist. I have never been spoken to in this manner and am (obviously) still smarting from this treatment. I don't know how this may help others except to say "caveat emptor".

What a fantastic holiday in Australia and Fiji we've just returned from, organised from start to finish by our Audley representative Jindy Sangha.
The trip exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Starting with time in the Darwin Area then on to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef the 'top end' of Australia was fascinating. Then came Ularu in the heart of Australia such a spiritual and atmospheric environment. The bustling city of Sydney exceeded all expectations. Circular Quay was fascinating and so photogenic with both Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The Botanical gardens are beautiful and trips to Bondi and Manley beaches were not to be missed. Miss Saigon at the Opera House on our last night in Australia provided the pinnacle to our Australian experience. Tokariki island resort, Fiji is the most beautiful environment we have ever been in and the Fijian staff were friendly, courteous and faultless in everything they did. Fiji was a wonderful end to a perfect Golden Wedding celebration.

From start to finish Audley provided my husband and I with the most brilliantly arranged and organised holiday to Japan, exactly tailored to our desires and needs. Malcolm Wellby, our Japan specialist, did a perfect job of interpreting and executing what we wanted from our time in Japan which even now we find hard to believe, as our trip was 17 days long and incorporated many hotels, many train journeys and many guided tours. Every step of the way the ‘self guide’ app. (so easy to use!) that Malcolm asked us to download kept us informed with all the details we needed, even directions to each next destination or meeting point. So useful. The holiday was faultless. What an achievement.

The entire trip to Africa was incredible and went so smoothly. This was largely due to Agent David Katwiwa and Audley’s deep knowledge and resources.
Hotels and Safari Camps and their staffs were superb. And we are “worrywarts” so David’s thoroughness and patience were terrific!
