Audley Travel Reviews 

Laura Coughlin curated the most memorable trip to Tanzania. Every detail was thoughtfully planned making our entire experience seamless. Every lodge and camp was exceptional and we felt truly welcomed, spoiled and never rushed. The staff at each camp (Dunia and Olakira) genuinely cared about creating an unforgettable experience for us. On our last day at the Olakira camp, we got to witness the season’s first zebras make the crossing (safely 😅) across the Mara River. It was an extraordinary moment that we owe to the expertise and perseverance of our incredible guide, Daniel.
We returned home with memories we’ll treasure forever and owe it all to Laura and Audley.

We had an amazing experience with. Audley travel and Sarah Quigley. She put together an amazing trip for my family to Switzerland and Italy. This was our first time to Europe and it was a wonderful experience. Everything from our transportation to hotels and excursions all went as planned and everything set up for us was just what we wanted. They listened to what we wanted and they delivered it for us. I would highly recommend using them to help set up your vacation!

Robyn curated a fantastic safari trip to South Africa for us. The accommodation and service at our Simbavato Hilltop Lodge was excellent, overlooking a lake with a family of hippos who loved showing off! The guides were very knowledgeable and we saw the Big 5 and more. Cape Town is a beautiful city and we thank Robyn for organising our day trips and itinerary there too.

We booked our honeymoon to South Africa and Mauritius through Audley Travel and had a fantastic experience. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, everything ran smoothly, and the balance between safari, exploring and relaxing was perfect. The team were knowledgeable, responsive and easy to deal with throughout. A truly unforgettable trip and we would happily recommend Audley.

I chose Audley as they ticked all the boxes of the experiences I wanted as a solo traveller to Equador, the Amazon and Galapagos.
It was amazing! I felt safe and looked after throughout my trip, and saw and did all the things I had dreamed of. And more.
Amy Smale, my travel advisor, tailored my trip to suit me, was in regular contact to make sure I was happy and prepared. She was as excited as me for my big trip! Thank you Amy, you made my big celebration that much more special.

Eric helped us plan our trip to Portugal. He really listened and got a good feel for what our family likes to do on vacation. Every excursion he booked us on was exceptional. The trip went seamlessly. I’ve used other agencies in the past and not had such a good result. I want to thank Eric and Audley travel for putting together a trip my family will remember for a lifetime!

We wanted a small resort in Zanzibar, a bit of luxury, a lot of relaxation with a casual relaxed feel and we also wanted to visit Zanzibar. Isabelle at Audley ticked all of our boxes - based also on her personal experience at the Zawadi Resort. Everything she told us about was absolutely true and she understood our brief perfectly. We had the most amazing time. We have used Audley for many years and really would not trust out precious holiday plans with anyone else. Their specialists are so knowledgable, friendly and efficient. Really recommend the resort and certainly would recommend Audley.

Grace Naylor was amazing as our Iceland specialist ! We had a once in a lifetime trip and it couldn't have gone smoother thanks to Grace's planning.She was patient in answering all of my questions and the back and forth about the itinerary. All of the services she booked were incredible and at a very high standard. Couldn't recommend her more!

Tanzania Safari trip.

This was our first safari and second trio with Audley, and what an experience it turned out to be in Tanzania.

The whole trip was organised brilliantly from start to finish. A big thank you to Robyn, who answered all of our questions over the months leading up to the holiday and sorted out a few "unexpected" issues before we travelled. I just had to seat and enjoy the trip.

The trip was especially meaningful as we were celebrating my (slightly late! birthday, could have ask for a better one than seeing all those animals especially a baby elephant.

Our guide, Shaban, was outstanding. We never felt rushed, he shared so much knowledge and I specially enjoyed finding the Rhino and Leopard with him, and somehow always he seemed to know where to be at the right time. From our balloon safari over the Serengeti to watching lions, elephants, cheetahs and countless other animals and even a honey badger.

I'd also like to thank the team at our Tarangire camp. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

Thank you Robyn for organising this for us and it was lovely dealing with you. Thank you to our guide Shaban and everyone else who helped.

Isabelle from Audley helped us with a 5 day South African safari which was amazing!
We were so well looked after by Audley travel and beyond.

Working with Thora, our travel advisor, was excellent from start to finish. Her recommendations and plans were thoughtful and showed real travel experience. I personally like a trip with a mix of organized plans and some open time to immerse and 'get lost', and Thora got that. Everything was very organized and communicated clearly. In country, everything went smoothly, and my son and I had an AMAZING time we won't forget. Thanks, Thora!

Excellent service - listened to our brief and designed a fantastic trip around it.

Thoughtful intelligent, friendly, patient and responsive agent. Planned a great trip. Would highly recommend

We just finished a ten day trip to Cornwall which was arranged by Mareesa at Audley. They set up the flights, hotels (Padstow, Fowey, St. Ives) and also a few major events (stones walk with a local guide, dinner at Rick Stein’s in Padstow, etc.) while leaving us plenty of times for hikes, botanic gardens, and the Tate in St. Ives. This all worked out great. The driving distances were short and we had never been to Cornwall. We had some rainy days but also 3-4 beautiful days. It was a great trip and Mareesa truly understood what we were interested in and made all the right connections for us.

We wanted a stress free trip to South Africa without hiring a car. We decided to talk to Audley and had the pleasure to discuss all our requirements with Czeska Sztuka she was the specialist for this country and certainly knew all about the areas we wished to visit. We arrived in Johannesburg and were met by an agent to escort us to our driver and take us to our first stay. For us we were mixing a holiday with a visit to family and Czeska fully understood our need to mix the holiday with family visits. We wanted to stay in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Stellenbosch. Czeska came back with the prefect package for us and we had a wonderful time. She was on Hand before our trip and for odd questions during our trip and make sure we returned home safely. We cannot rate Audley and Czeska highly enough and will be using their services again, in fact we already have another trip booked. Everything with Audley is seamless and prefect. We highly recommend them and in particular our specialist Czeska

We booked our South Africa trip through Audley Travel and couldn't be happier with the service we received.

A special thank you to Robyn Hutchons, who looked after our booking from start to finish. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and responsive throughout the planning process, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and answering any questions we had along the way. Her recommendations were excellent and she made the whole experience feel seamless and stress-free.

We were travelling to celebrate my partner's mum's 60th birthday, Robyn helped create an itinerary that was perfect for our group. One of the highlights was our stay at Last Word Kitara, which completely exceeded our expectations. As first-time safari-goers, we were absolutely blown away from start to finish!

Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the trip without having to worry about the details.

We came away with memories that will last a lifetime and are so grateful for the support and expertise we received. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Audley Travel and would happily book with them again in the future.

Destroyed my life and left me feeling suicidal. Don’t ever book with them.

My most recent trip to Ireland, planned with Audley was in May 2026. Lilly C. was my advisor.

Working with Lily took all of the work and stress out of planning. Our interests were built into the itinerary and every moment that we spent in Ireland was meaningful due to the careful planning.
I must say that the accommodations were excellent. I would highly recommend using a AUDLEY as a travel company, and if you are traveling to Ireland, Lily C. Was excellent to work with.

From enquiry, through booking & our adventure, Audley took care of everything. Fabulous advice and meticulous planning. Can't wait for another trip with them.

Absolutely the best trip we have ever taken. Laura had every step of travel arranged so there was absolutely no stress. We were met at every airport with porters and people guiding us through Customs. So nice to get off an airplane and not have to look for signs of where to go next.
Chobe and the Okavango Delta were amazing as was Victoria Falls. So much wild life so close to you. Hotels were perfect and friendly. No way could I have selected appropriate hotels by just going on line. We were given great packing tips and there were NO unwelcome surprises.
Audley made our 50th Anniversary trip so memorable. A true pleasure to work with.
