GBExtremely unhelpful and unresponsive Extremely unhelpful and unresponsive. I place at several calls with the agent assigned to my trip to assist in logistics. None of the calls were returned. For assistance they refer you to 3rd party vendors that charge you an arm and a leg... not the kind of service one expects for even the least prestigous of tour companies.

GBOur 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.

GBBEWARE 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.

GBWent 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.

GBWe took the Singapore & Malaysia tour We took the Singapore & Malaysia Tapestry of cultures. It was a Marco Polo tour which is supposed to be their best and a small group. There were 13 of us and we all agreed this would be our last trip with them. This was billed as a foodie experience and the places they took us were awful. Experiences like a special mahjong class touted as an A&K exclusive experience vanished. The A&K representative apologized at the end of our trip saying he knew this was not the trip we expected. Since we didn't receive events as stated in the description we requested that they give use partial refund. Everyone on the tour complained to A&K in detail about everything that went wrong. We were offered $1000 toward another trip. This is not a way to treat repeat customers.
