Short Description

On the western edge of the continent, Portugal is home to culturally rich cities influenced by its leading role in the Age of Discovery, as well as an abiding Catholic faith that it shares with nearby Spain. Our specialists will draw on their knowledge of the country to plan your tour of Portugal, where you could hear melancholy fado music in Lisbon, taste port wine in Porto and the Douro Valley, and sample the traditional custard tarts of Belém.

It's hard to describe how lucky we are to have been able to work with Stephanie in planning our honeymoon to Japan. From the very beginning, Stephanie was friendly, flexible, and an absolute wealth of knowledge. We had several meetings with her leading up to our trip to come up with the perfect itinerary. Throughout this, Stephanie was mindful of our budget, without sacrificing anything. During our trip, Audley was available at all hours to help with anything and everything which was such a relief to know we had that resource available to us. I truly cannot imagine having planned this trip without all of Stephanie's guidance and knowledge- and cannot imagine taking another big trip like this without the help of Audley. Thank you again!

We recently booked our honeymoon to Peru in 2024. The holiday is not until September this this review is not of the holiday itself but I thought the experience of booking deserved a positive review. Holly Kennedy is fabulous! Really tuned in to what we wanted & designed a programme we couldn’t be more excited about. She spoke from her first hand experience, answering all our questions with ease. Warm, friendly & reassuring. Thank you Holly & Audley.

The Audley Travel Country Specialist for Kenya and Tanzania who assisted me over the telephone was sensational! He was very knowledgeable, experienced, resourceful, friendly, customer-focused and enthusiastic. He's a great asset to his organization, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering a trip to Africa!

It was the climax of our Diamond Anniversary year and we wanted a holiday which would be truly memorable. We seemed to gel with Robyn immediately and she worked with us to plan 17 days of luxurious enjoyment culminating in the sighting of a leopard. It proved to be all we expected and more! We have travelled with Audley before and have never been disappointed. We are consistently impressed by their attention to detail and determination to get everything right for the customer.
