What travelers are saying

"As a retired Environmental Studies Professor, our tour guide Dr. Don Snow is widely well read and has thorough knowledge of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It was obvious from the very beginning that his teacher instinct wishing to impart his vast knowledge with us runs deep in his blood. Having lived in MT for many years, Don is intimate with local lores and history, as well as its flora and fauna. Five of us tested positive for Covid during our tour. Nick, our tour manager and the "fixer" of all things and ASHT Company did a phenomenal job of guiding us through the difficult situation."

"Another wonderful trip organised by the team at Audley Travel. This time we arranged a holiday to South Africa. Robyn Hutchons was our advisor and her personal experience and knowledge was invaluable in planning the holiday. The local ground agents in South Africa were extremely helpful in resolving some car hire problems. All in all, I have no hesitation in recommending Audley and we will certainly be using them again for our holidays."

What travelers are saying

"I enrolled early in the French Art Voyage because of the caliber of the sites visited: no visit to the overly crowded Louvre but rather to Monet’s Giverny and Cezanne’s studio. A preliminary itinerary I just received has no mention of Giverny so I went online to be sure it was still open. It is. I checked Cezanne’s studio and found it closed for renovation. I called Road Scholar to ask why Giverny was canceled and did they mean Cezanne perhaps. A customer service rep was clueless. I spelled Giverny to her twice. She put me on hold for 15 minutes, returned and said someone would contact me. I told her to wait a minute. I had more. Was Cezanne’s studio to be canceled as well.? Five days later I get an email from Judith telling me Giverny was not officially on the itinerary, Cezanne’s studio had to be removed due to renovation and I could not see the Mona Lisa!!! I responded saying I sensed some bait and switch also reminding her I NEVER asked about the Mona Lisa. She replied telling me how to arrange Giverny for myself and reiterating that I could not see the Mona Lisa!!!! I have experienced ageism but not gaslighting like this. I am not an old fool who imagined Giverny on the itinerary. I am not an old fool insisting on a Mona Lisa that was not. Road Scholar has no business marketing to elders with staff like this."

What travelers are saying

"We wanted a very customized culinary and art tour of Paris and France and found French Side Travel who took us under their wings and designed a most magnificent and memorable trip for us. I ended up planning a ten-day trip with Karen Hendricks in January and February 2024, and we then continued customizing it until we left Paris on September 20th. We booked the trip around my 90-year old MIL’s particular desires, tastes and fancies, and we had to make changes along the way to accommodate her changing needs. Humongous kudos to Karen for planning an impressive, impeccable truly unique, and varied trip and to Christopher Bourguignon for his extraordinary hands-on handling of our trip and ability to swerve as needed. We also especially appreciated our Paris driver Jerome, who took such excellent care of us. We spent six days in Paris and five in Provence. We stayed in unique luxury boutique hotels and villas that all gave us exceptional service. We had the most accommodating and truly amazing tour guides who all took extraordinary care of my MIL. We had an airport guide who expertly whisked us through CDG. We enjoyed a trip of a lifetime through French Side Travel."
