Audley Travel Reviews 

Just back from a 2 week trip to Vietnam organized thru Audley Travel.

We were blown away by the quality of the accommodations, the variety of the trips, the smoothness of the location transfers, the quality and friendliness of the drivers and guides and overall the wonders of the country that has quickly become one of our destination favorites.

Hannah Alderson at Audley was immense throughout and her knowledge and experience clearly helped make this trip something that we will never forget.

We’ve just had a fabulous holiday in Singapore & Indonesia - all thanks to Mat Hall from Audley. Our bucket list request was to swim with whale sharks & when I initially spoke to Mat I was looking at the Philippines. Mat suggested we would be better going to Indonesia & are we glad we took his advice. It has been fabulous.
The hotels he recommended in Singapore & Bali were faultless and the sailing trip we did with Sea Trek was so memorable.
A huge thank you to Mat for the planning & care he took in ensuring our holiday was unforgettable.

Audley’s Hannah Alderson organised our trip to Kuala Lumpur & Bornéo. Hannah took time to listen to our travel style and desires and came up with a perfectly balanced itinerary that perfectly suited our needs. The trip certainly lived up to our expectations and we were confident knowing that Audley were there to support us if we needed it. Hannah is knowledgeable and conscientious and we were greatly impressed by both her and Audley. Only a few days after returning we have already contacted Audley to book another trip.

Our family trip to northern Italy was nothing short of incredible! Over 10 unforgettable days, we explored Venice, Lake Garda, and Portovenere, and every moment was perfect. The itinerary was meticulously planned, our accommodations were top-notch, and transportation was seamless.

A special shoutout to Sarah, who made our journey a core memory—her attention to detail and understanding of what truly mattered to us exceeded all our expectations. We are so grateful for the experience, the beautiful memories we created, and the peace of mind we had throughout the trip. We will definitely be returning to Audley for our next adventure! Grazi!!

A superb trip to Japan organised by Manon and her team at Audley Travel. One of the best organised and interesting holidays we have done in a long time. First class.

Megan Capon organised our recent trip to South Africa. She is fantastic and listens to everything you request, then makes it happen. From start to finish she was exceptional at her job. Being our first time in SA we were a little nervous so wanted to use a ‘Which’ Trusted company as it guarantees the best service, and it’s what we got. It went flawlessly and so grateful for Megan’s assistance in our self drive tour of Cape Town to Plettenburg Bay along the Garden Route. This was the best holiday we’ve had. South Africa is amazing and if it’s on your bucket list, call Audleys and request a call back from Megan!

Family trip to Italy was a 5-star experience! Leah Saulnier from Audley Travel could not have done a better job. She came in under cost, made all of our requests a reality and made every day and experience a special one. She used her past experiences to determine the best options for us! I am recommending Leah anyone who is planning a trip to Italy.

We’ve travelled a large number of times with Audley to a range of destinations throughout the world over the past 9 years and have never been disappointed. The process from beginning to end is always customer focussed and of the highest standard. On the very odd occasion when something outside Audley’s control has gone wrong they or their local ground agents have acted swiftly to sort things out. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Excellent organisation by Audley, great guides, fabulous wildlife and locations.

Excellent organisation and support whilst away. Knowledgeable agent.

Madeleine Lyles is an outstanding country expert at Audley Travel. She organised our recent 2 week trip to Sri Lanka. She had lots of local knowledge and matched a superb itinerary to meet our requirements. Every detail covered and communicated.
Top quality documents and communication. I would definitely recommend Maddie and Audley Travel.

We had a wonderful 3 weeks in Japan with a very well-advised itinerary from Audley. We've used Audley for all our long-haul holidays for 12 years now and they consistently deliver added value to our experiences at every stage of the planning and delivery process. The knowledge and expertise of their specialists and in-country guides is exceptional and we would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to ensure their experience is as seamlessly delivered and memorable as it can be !

Flawless! I had the pleasure of working with Scott Johnson from Audley. He organised a trip for my sister an I to the Galapagos Islands. It was a seemless experience. Every last thing was considered and arranged. At all steps in our journey there was a friendly assistant to guide us. For a trip like this it was invaluable to be helped this way, especially where special passes are required at the airport for entry to The Galapagos. On line meetings were arranged by Scott to ensure that all was well, both before and after the trip. We received plentiful information ahead of the trip, including personalised very smart folders detailing everthing that you could imagine.

The booking process and execution of the plan were both very supportive and straightforward.

Putting together a trip like this takes a great deal of organisation and planning - Scott and Audley delivered a totally professional experience and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Couldn’t be more impressed with Audley Travel. The entire process was seamless, organized and any questions or concerns were answered promptly with great explanation. Highly recommend!

We set out what we wanted to see and the pace we wished to visit places at. Our consultant, Charlotte Callin prepared an itinerary with some other suggested sights to consider and a great adventure was planned, keeping to exactly what we wanted. Before the holiday, we received detailed and clear information in the form of a file that became our invaluable bible for the trip. Charlotte called us before we left home to make sure we were clear about the trip. All in all, a brilliantly prepared bespoke tour and a very professional service. Well done Charlotte.

Booked an expensive 5 day tour in Rome and Naples. My requests were ignored, we missed key historic sites, and tours were switched from what we requested. If you are looking for custom private tours, use someone else. Audley just consolidates mass market tours. Our private tour of Pompeii had 10 people and half didn’t speak English. Feel like it was a complete bait and switch operation.

I recently returned from a 13 day Audley South African tour. Thora Taylor did an exceptional job of planning and communicating every detail of the trip. She planned the flights, individual transfers within the tour, three very different and wonderful places to stay, (including a B & B, a tented Safari and a guesthouse) and several day discovery tours and specialty eating opportunities. I have been on numerous tours previously and this was among the best. I attribute that to Thora and her teams knowledge of the area, her personalized attention to my wishes and her ability to think through the details. Internet, written and telephone communication were key. I would highly recommend Audley and Thora

This is my second trip with Audley. My first one was fall 2025 to Australia and Tasmania. I was great- exceeded my expectations! At the last minute, I had vacation time that matched when the tulips should peak in Amsterdam,Netherlands. I checked a lot of tours that had set dates and itineraries that did not match my time frame. They were unwilling to customize a trip for me so I reached out to Audley. My trip specialist was Samantha Sutherland. She is fabulous. She listened to my interests and tailored a trip- flight, hotels, event tickets, transfers to various locations perfectly. I had an absolutely spectacular trip! It was totally stress free and hit all of my requests for places to visit but also left time for me to explore on my own. I love the pre trip visit, the hard copy booklet of my trip as well as the App has my entire trip on it. The post visit is great too as they truly value feedback and ideas for other things to do in the country. I recommend Audley travel highly and have already started planning my third trip with them for Madagascar. I am positive that they will see me on a number of trips in the future.

Our experience with Kelly Edwards through Audley travels was exceptional from start to finish. She created a truly customized and personalized vacation for a family of four including two teenagers and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Communication throughout the process was excellent. We always felt informed and prepared which made a big difference in traveling internationally. The accommodations were not only beautiful, but perfectly located, allowing us to fully enjoy each destination without unnecessary stress. The excursions were spot on, engaging, well, organized, and perfectly situated for both adults and teens is struck a great balance between sightseeing, culture and downtime. What really set Audley travels apart was the ongoing support during the trip. Knowing we had a resource in Italy to contact if anything that came up, provided incredible sense of reassurance. Traveling in a different country comes with a lot of moving parts especially with kids and having expert guidance to help navigate it all with truly priceless. A special thank you to Kelly Edwards, who was amazing to work with—attentive responsive experienced and clearly dedicated to making our trip unforgettable. We would highly recommend Kelly Edwards if you are planning on traveling to Italy, and want a seamless personalized travel experience.

Ours was a trip with a lot of complicated logistics: myself, my wife, and 10-year-old granddaughter heading to South Africa from Washington, DC, meeting up with our 13-year-old granddaughter flying unaccompanied from New Zealand. Thora Taylor from Audley set it all up just right, then reset it on the fly after the Iran war blew up our plan to all meet in Dubai and go on to South Africa from there. She also did a great job of listening carefully to what we wanted and finding us lodging in Cape Town and on safari in Kruger National Park that was perfect without being budget busting. Couldn't be more satisfied!
