"1. I'm writing this before actually making the trip. I combined two separate trips and had a few hiccups on "Day 1" for the double tours, which is not really a "tour" day but travel and no real sightseeing.
2. Whatever agency AT uses to make plane reservations is not always cost competitive with making your own reservations.
3. The services provided are good, such as hotels (including providing their phone numbers and addresses), airport transit and specific itinerary. Optional tour offerings also look good, but they do add to the trip's cost.
4. I appreciate the guidance on gratuities for the tour director, local guides, and bus drivers, which helps to estimate costs.
5. It is also useful that AT warns travelers about passport validity, visas, and registering your travel information with family members and the relevant embassies. Also travel insurance."
"Going on the trip tomorrow. Hope it will be as good as the booking experience I had with A. Tours"
"Though late, better late than never. I find Affordable Tours to have awesome service, very professional and efficient. Reason I am doing this so late is because I am just referring a second person to Affordable Tours. The first has booked already and will be going to Italy this year. I have used both Globus and Trafalgar and will do it again for my next tours. Last year, I was working with Shannon Kelly and the first time I used Affordable tours, I worked with Donna Humble (I think). Both were extremely patient, professional and knowledgeable. "
"Working w/ affordable tours makes the whole travel agenda a simple and efficient process. Add to that Shannon's sense of humor and hard work in getting things right and the only thing remaining is to pack. "
"We had excellent help and advice from Affordable Tours. With such excellent service, the discount at the end was "icing on the cake." Our tour of Colombia went off without a problem.
Due to a health issue, we had to put off a trip to Guatemala. Affordable Tours worked with Gate 1 to allow us to apply the deposit and insurance to a different tour with no penalty fee. We really appreciated that.
There are many benefits to working with Affordable Tours rather than directly with the tour company-great service and discounts!"
"Christine was excellent at helping us plan our trip and answering all our questions. Thanks."
"Thank you for all your help"
"Only one question re why cruise route was changed without any notification. Otherwise excellent. Will call Mandy again if doing another cruise."
"Used before and will use again!"
"I have used Affordable Tours several times now and have been pleased with the services and perks I've received to date. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again, in the future. Thanks to Jason Hogan for his assistance and his patience with my numerous questions!"
"LINH IS THE BEST AS SHE IS SO VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE! . CONSEQUENTLY OUR TOURS HAVE BEEN REMARKABLE AND WE HAVE ENJOYED IMMENSELY OUR SIGHTSEEING AND insights into many worldwide places. We are pleased to have an expert at our side making key desisions for our excursions Thank you so much Linh!!
