We just returned from a 2-wk Iberian highlights trip, curated by Audley country expert Eric Carnes. From the beginning Eric was keen to understand our travel goals, likes-dislikes, necessities. From there, he curated a great mix of guided tours and hands-on experiences to introduce us to Spain & Portugal. All the mini-tour guides and drivers were entertaining, informative, tuned in to our needs. Eric also craftily plotted to deliver several jaw-dropping Iberian experiences: a fiery flamenco evening in Madrid; a dreamy slow boat tour on the Douro River; a “picnic” in a port wine cave that was a most elegant repast; an over-the-top “cooking experience” with traditional Portuguese dishes. And that’s only 4 of the special times we had. To note, we travel with a special-needs adult. It was particularly important to have and connecting/adjacent rooms—something that’s hard to do even in the U.S. But Eric did it. He, along with his Iberian team, managed to find those rooms in Spain and Portugal. And the rooms were really nice. It’s easy working with Audley. This is the 2nd time we working with them. We value the ability of Audrey’s experts, such as Eric, to understand quickly what we want and need. On this excursion, from flights to hotels to experiences, Audley, Eric, and the Iberian team delivered. It was a superb experience!

My sister and I booked a trip to Portugal through Audley Travel. Our Travel Specialist was Corinne Landry, who has spent time in Portugal and surrounding countries and has outstanding knowledge of the area. Our itinerary was developed to specifically address all the activities that we had described as things we loved: from wonderful food tours that focused on locally owned shops and eateries, to amazing tours of unique villages and locales led by incredibly knowledgeable and professional tour guides, to fantastic, boutique hotels that were optimally situated in cities or countryside. Corinne was highly responsive to our needs before and during the trip. Audley did a terrific job of delivering a personalized, exceptional trip for us that exceeded our expectations. ~Soren Lowell

This was our first experience using a travel agent for an international trip. I found Audley on Instagram. After speaking to a consultant (Eric) we decided to put our faith in this company. We set a budget and quite honestly Eric was dedicated to our travel plans. We discussed, set itineraries, changed it a million times. As to the trip and choices Eric made in regard to hotels, transportation and tours, far exceeded what I was expecting. He booked us on private tours, hotels were all amazing, and transportation was flawless. We truly connected with Eric and virtually every aspect of our trip was discussed in detail. He had us on “ walking “ tours, which I had rejected. We discussed it and he convinced me to do them. So glad he did. We are retirees on a fixed travel budget. Audley is the place to go. And if you’re going to Portugal , Greece or Spain , Eric is your man.

Audley Travel was amazing from start to finish. Our trip came together quickly. We knew that we wanted to go to S Africa and experience a safari and all that the area had to offer. Our South African specialist, Thora, shared her first-hand experiences and helped shape a trip that balanced time, costs, and off-the-chart sites and adventures. We typically put together our own travel plans, but heading to South Africa was beyond our comfort range. With the help of Audley, we ended up seeing Cape Town, went on safari in Thorny Bush Preserve, and then on to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We encountered no issues on this trip!!! People picked us up when needed, flights were great, and the food and hotels were fabulous. Although there were zero issues, we felt very glad that there was a team available to help us if the need arose.

Seamless, Memorable, and Expertly Planned Africa Trip with Audley I had an amazing Southern Africa trip arranged by Audley! Everything was well organized, smooth, and full of unforgettable highlights. A special thank you to Thora, who was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in planning my adventure. She ensured all the details matched my expectations and even followed up after the trip to get my feedback—her expertise was invaluable. From Cape Town and Franschhoek to Victoria Falls and Tsowa Safari Island, every stop was thoughtfully planned. Highlights included a flexible and informative guide in Cape Town, wine tasting on horseback in Franschhoek, the welcoming Mbano Hotel in Victoria Falls, and ending the trip with game drives and a magical lunar eclipse on Tsowa Safari Island. Highly recommend Audley for anyone planning a dream trip to Africa!

We just completed our second trip with Audley's expert help, and it was life-changing. From Lima to Cuzco, to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, we had an eye-opening and soul-stirring experience that we never could have accomplished without the experienced help and guidance of Michael Waxman, and the team of local professionals who treated us royally, and made sure our experience was exactly what we wanted it to be. We already have two more trips lined up with Audley and simply can't wait for them to begin. You can't go wrong with this team.

My wife and I wanted to originally make a trip to Japan back in 2012 for our honeymoon. Due to finances, timing, and other factors (such as not finding a travel agent that fit our needs) we just ended up never going. Now, I am not one to travel often domestically let alone have I ever put something together to travel overseas as an adult. So, this was going to be extremely challenging. From day one, Audley has been absolutely amazing to work with!! My wife and I can not thank them enough for helping us make this trip possible! They saved us so much time, stress, and anxiety. For the pricing and what they have to offer, it is absolutely 100% WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY SPENT. Specifically, I want to thank our planner - Mackenzie McNeill. You were an absolute pleasure to work with! Very professional and on top of every excursion detail. She accommodated pretty much everything my wife and I wanted to see or do while in Japan. Again, as someone who doesn't travel often and finds planning daunting/challenging, Audley made everything simple and easy. I would HIGHLY recommend using their services to anyone looking to travel (especially, abroad). Looking forward to planning our next future trip!! Best, Ross and Anamarie
