very disorganized on the tours and guide was rushing and not a lot of information about the places hotels were decent but don't expect anything fancy

Great planning! Excellent accommodations, tours and an exceptional tour guide!

I have used Affordable World for many years, since they were Affordable Asia. Every single time we have used them we have had outstanding experiences. This trip was no exception! From booking to flight choices, the Office Staff were exceptionally responsive helped us through everything! Salu is amazing! As for this trip, this is my 4th time on this itinerary. I keep taking different family members back because this trip is that good, the itinerary, value, pace, accommodations, transportation, and most especially the guides! Sharkey, our guide is funny, patient, professional and knowledgeable. His ability to move the group, answer questions and provide cultural and historical information, and keep the group on track is nothing short of a miracle. He is absolutely the best! This trip has a nice mix of landmarks and cultural must see’s in fast paced Bangkok as well as plenty of time to relax in beautiful Phuket. The hotels were wonderful and the breakfast included was a perfect start to every day. We will certainly vacation with Affordable World again. Thank you for such an awesome trip(s) for me and my family! Kevin Kincaid

Our tour guide, Masa, ruined the experience for the people on the tour. He literally lost 5 people on our first full day in Kyoto. All of us were stuck waiting for over an hour in the tour bus for him to locate this family. We then had to rush through the rest of the sites and didn't have time for any lunch or shopping.

On the second day in Osaka, his instructions on where to meet up at a specific time, were so poor that we had to ask numerous people where the location was. On our last day in Osaka, he lost 2 more people. He asked us if anyone knew their names or contact info. He had no clue of who anyone was on the tour he was guiding. He had no idea how to contact the missing Mother and Daughter and was unable to. They ended up missing the rest of the day's tour and lunch and had to navigate their own way back to Kyoto from Nara.

His biggest problem was that he gave no details and walked as if he was in a speed walking contest. We didn't get to enjoy the sights due to wasting time waiting for people he lost. He should not be a tour guide. At Nara, the bus was supposed to pick us up to go to a restaurant for lunch (that was included in this optional tour). The bus never came and we had to walk about a mile on the side of a very busy road with no pedestrian walkway!!!! We all could've been killed. I'm writing this review as a warning to others. I had read all the 5 star reviews and figured that this would be a good tour.
Lastly, neither of our tour guides were proficient in English and were difficult to understand. We were not equipped with little listening devices (like Globus and other tour companies provide). Needless to say we will never travel with this tour company again.

Well organized trip by Affordable World … hotel in Athens could have been little better but overall, I would give them 5 stars.

Ani was the absolute best! She took such good care of us that we named her Méi méi Ani.
Our excursions were top notch. The hotels were beautiful and the people were so warm and welcoming.

The guide was amazing, very informative and professional

Great Istanbul hotel. The Athens hotel was a bit out of the way but navigable. The Santorini hotel was completely isolated and could not walk to anywhere

One of our guides in Thailand fell well short of the mark of being sufficient. Very short with the questions that we asked. Not helpful at all!! And the transportation back home was horrible. Get some qualified people and plans to make this a better experience. I will never use you guys again

hope the agency takes steps to improve its services to prevent this for future customers.”I did not like hotels,not organized well enough transportation and I was disappointed that nobody informed us about travel expenses tour guide did not speak English No information about city we are visited

Traveling with my family to Thailand was a good experience,

I highly recommend Affordable World, especially our wonderful guides, Noom and Alice. They made our time in Bangkok and Phuket unforgettable, ensuring everything was perfectly set up and running smoothly.

Noom and Alice were incredibly accommodating, sharing their deep knowledge of the local culture and making sure we felt comfortable throughout the trip. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns, adding to our peace of mind.

Our experience was amazing, and having Noom and Alice as guides made it even more special.

Everything was executed perfectly with all flights and tour transfers and guides. This was my first time using this company and it was a nice time with great guides Noom & Alice.

The hotels were all very nice. Some not close to hustle and bustle of town, but you can take a grab (Uber like) to get around. I would have preferred to stay closer to Old Town in Phuket versus the beach area we were taken to, which was about a 45 min. drive away each way.

We spent our free nights in Phuket in old town because it was so beautiful at night with all the street lights, and vendors and restaurants. .. it was a much richer cultural experience than being at the beach in this town. That would be the only thing I would change. I would much rather stay closer to town for the night experience and visit the beach during the day.

In Singapore we did have a city guide for half a day. I would have enjoyed some optional tours for Singapore to avoid having to figure out what do each day and how to get around.

We used Grab there and had some misadventures using their metro. Would prefer not to have so much free time on my own there. It is a fairly easy country to get around though. Lots of interesting areas and neighborhoods to explore. We did get around as much and hit all the highlights we could. The beach area is stunning and saw some monitor lizards up close and personal. Highlight for me.

We went with the Cathay Pacific option for the air AW handled. We chose 20-hour layover in Hong Kong and I really enjoyed the big bus tour we did there before flying home. Highly recommend choosing longer layovers somewhere to see just one more fun thing.

All breakfasts were fantastic. Eat all you can so you can skip lunch and save some cash for treats and souvenirs.

Enjoyed the trip and it was very well organized and guided.

Our guide, Patty, was superb. She loves her job and took interest in each of us and strived to make sure we were happy. The hotels in Bangkok and Pattaya Beach were outstanding. I had this introduction to Thailand and now I want to return for a longer visit.

Amazingly beautiful and everything was seamless. From our flights to the excursions and transfers everything exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend.

The tour guides were so accommodating and added things in that we mentioned we would like to do. Thailand and the Thai people made it special.

First time travelling with Affordable World and would do it again! So relaxing having all the details taken care of. Thailand tour guides Sharky & Kitty were fabulous - so knowledgeable and fun. Great way to see many areas of Thailand - temples, elephants , beaches and more. Highly recommend!

The travel plans were well organized and executed. Comfortable hotels. Helpful guides and were always available. Need to provide bottled waters on the tour buses.

Every trip I have had with Affordable World has been amazing. A great value, stress free, with a friendly host/guide that goes above and beyond to make sure you’re safe and having a great time. Whether there is something special you want to do or see, or if you get sick and need a pharmacy, the host is like family and there to help. I highly recommend affordable world especially if it’s your first time traveling to a destination, it makes it really easy.

Noom, our tour guide through Thailand was absolutely amazing!!! He literally educated us about everything and some! The excursions were amazing! Accommodations were amazing!!! I had the best 40th Birthday ever!!! Noooooom Is the best!! Legend!!
