This is my first trip with Abercrombie & Kent This is my first trip with Abercrombie & Kent. I’ve been on several trips with National Geographic and loved those. I wanted to try a different tour operator and see how they compare to National Geographic. The trip is 2 months off and already I’m having my doubts. Multiple emails from different people asking for the exact same information, namely flight arrangements. I keep telling each person when I sent the requested information and to whom. Nothing much about the trip itinerary yet or who will be leading the tour. By now with National Geographic I would have had that information and would have been provided with a list of suggested reading materials to learn more about the tour destinations. So far, I’m less than impressed. This is supposed to be a top tier tour operator…they certainly charge top tier prices. Time will tell

BEWARE DON'T BOOK Extra Services Iceland (Aug. 2021) Used A&K early check-in & 2 extra nights; charged $660 per night (taxes/breakfast) Other guests booked w/hotel (same room) $330. While on trip emailed numerous times & received generic non-answer from Margaret Wnek, Guest Relations. A couple on trip A&K quoted helicopter ride, $3,000. We paid $850 w/hotel for same ride. Asked Ms. Wnek for customer survey of trip like they used to do; told they don't do this.

Went on the The Great Migration Safari… Went on the The Great Migration Safari in Style trip. While we did see lots of animals and the tour guides were first rate you can do better than this "Chevrolet" level safari. Fellow travelers were old and stale. Hotels mixed. Too much seat time going and coming and not enough history/culture. No exercise unless you make the effort. Not my favorite trip. You can do better.

Our first trip with Abercrombie & Kent Our first trip with Abercrombie & Kent. We were hoping for a luxury experience. We did stay at 5 star hotels and group size was small. We felt that was where the luxury ended. They were cheap on wine at the welcome and farewell dinner. For a 3 hour dinner only one glass per person. You paid for the second glass. I did not feel our guide in Jordan did anything other than check a box. The Israel guide was great. We have done Tauck and was for more impressed. They also do not ask a customer’s opinion after a trip. They apparently do not care. It was a great trip but not the service leaves we expected for the price.

First time with A&K First time with A&K, went to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. All accommodations were top notch, seamless travel. Our guide, Luc, was amazing. Would go again just to have him as a guide. Enjoyed everything. Very packed with activities, still had some pool and massage time. Loved all of it!
